I was attracted to the concept on the label, that Build A Tan provides "a hint of color that builds a healthy glow with each application". The reality was that I found it tough to develop the...

It's a rarity for Asians to want tanned skin. However, having a color most asians would spend money for (VERY fair), I have gone the opposite direction: The search for the perfect self-tanner. ...

I am fair skinned and feel this product is good for a base. DO NOT SLEEP IN IT! Unless you want orangy sheets. Yuk! My secret: I alternate between Neutrogena's build a tan and then Banana...

I have tried many self-tanners and I always exfoliate and take the time to apply evenly and to let dry the product before I put on my clothes. THIS IS THE WORST SELF-TANNER I EVER TRIED: It came...

This self-tanner is absolute crap. I can't find one good thing to say about it except that it was cheap. The build-a-tan idea is good but this really doesn't work out the way you'd want it to. It...

Mnn...I have mixed feelings on this. It was my first self-tanner ever in my life (I don't know why it never occurred to me to try it), so other than with Jergens Natural Glow, I can't compare it...

I bought this thinking I was going to need to apply it everyday for several days to see color. I also thought that a gradual tan would eliminate the streaking problem of most self tanners. Was I...

I have tried several self tanners. Banana Boat was my favorite, plus I have tried Jergen's Natural Glow. My biggest complaint about both of these is the smell. I really like Neutrogena Build A...

I actually like this product a lot. Keep in mind that I have dark hair & features, olive easily tanned skin, and was already tan from tanning beds/outside. So, for me it didn't streak at all and...

I've used the Neutrogena regular sunless tanning lotion and really liked it. I don't know what they did to this kind, but it smells a lot worse and it streaks bad. The color isn't as good either....

The first time I used this product, I used it like I did my other sunless tanners and I streaked horribly. The next time, I used less (applied it like a small layer of lotion) and rubbed it in for...
