    IF you are olive skinned, get this faux tanner! I LUVVVVVVV what it does for my blah sallow-beige medium olive skin. Without a tan....I just look blah. As a result, I faux tan all year long-- deep...

    I can see how for some this would be a miss, but for my medium olive complexion, this product does exactly what I expected it to and I've been pleased with it. It will by no means give you a dark...

    So easy to apply. Results in as fast as half an hour. Beautifully golden on fair-medium Asian skin.

    If you want to look orange then wear this! It's so streaky and in the sun it looks incredibly fake and unnatural. DO NOT recommend.

    I paid around $10 for this product and I was ultimately disappointed! It smells horrible, typical tanner smell, yet still worse. It did give me immediate color after about a day and kind of lasts...

    For an inexpensive self-tanner, Neutrogena's Build-a-Tan is pretty good. Canada has discontinued Build-a-Tan for some reason (boo hoo). I'm not fond of the scent but it's not offensive compared...

    Let me start off by saying, I've been a member of a tanning salon since I was 14. I have tried every tanning method there is known to man. Unfortuntely, there is no taming salon near my college so...

    I've been using this for two days and already I have a natural looking tan. The only problem I had was that I had some splotches on my back and stomach, but that's probably because I didn't wait...

    I like it. It's inexpensive, low to no smell, the color builds pretty fast, and it's a good consistency for easy blending, so you can put it on quickly and still evenly. Very natural looking,...

    I like this stuff! I sometimes use it in conjunction with the Micro Mist when I want a deeper tan, but the lotion works well on its own as well. I actually like the smell of this lotion, it reminds...

    Love this stuff! Gives me a beautiful golden color, never orange, even if I put it on really thick. If you do a thin layer, you will get a light tan, and the thicker the coating you give yourself,...

    I am a Jergens fan, but a lot of their sunless tanners smell really strong, so I decided to try Neutrogena's Build a Tan. It has a good smell but the next day I developed a rash of small red bumps...

    First off, I'm that pale, strawyberry haired and freckled person trying to get a tan. I know it will be close to impossible to get a tan just by laying outside like most my friends, so I tried this...

    I applied this product all over my body; it had that typical self-tanner scent, but it was tolerable. About 10 minutes after I applied it my chest and my throat was feeling tight, it was hard to...

    This is a good, inexpensive self-tanner if you are just looking for a little believable color. I have tried a plethora of expensive self-tanners, so I have something to compare it to. Also, like...

    Repeat buyer. This lotion is very moisturizing and the color is golden and believable. Dries quickly. It has a very strong scent -- soapy. That is my only gripe.
