Neostrata - did you change the formulation? I've been buying this for years (based on MUA reviews) and have always loved it - perfect tan in just one application and very little smell. However, I...

I tried this about a year ago and it didn't work very well at all. I basically got no color (after 3 straight applications) and it smelled awful (like DHA). I also didn't like that it had...

The most natural looking result and no nasty scent. No DHA smell at all. There is a reviewer here who claims it has but there is no way you can call this smelly compared to other self tans,...

It really is the best fake tanner I have ever tried (and I have tried a lot). Not only is the colour natural and instant, it doesn't smell as harsh and gross as most fake tanners. It dries quickly...

I've been using this self tanner for about 2-3 years now on and off and it is still in the top two rankings for me along with St. Tropez. I am extremely fair so I need to be cautious of what self...

This is the best self-tanner I've ever used. I have very fair skin, and this gives me a natural looking tan after only one application - no orange! The only 2 cons I can think of are the price,...

This is top shelf. If you live in the U.S. it's really hard to get though. If you know of a way to get this besides the terrible eskinstore, please let me know. The color is comparable to St...

This is a fantastic self tanner. It's forgiving, the colour is natural, and it dries quickly. The smell is kind of strong but I didn't find it nearly as offensive as some others out there. At...

I decided to cheat on my St. Tropez and try this due to the amazing reviews. Now I've only tried it on my face but the smell of it was enough to give me a headache. Absolutely terrible smell... not...

I've found a self-tanner that is better (IMO) than St. Tropez! This is the ONLY self-tanner that I can just put on and leave the house with. It applies so smoothly and does not cling to dry...

One application and I am happy with the colour on my body. I haven't tried it on my face, I am scared of a break out but I will try it. Will buy again.
