I picked this product up on a whim from Target for about $6 bucks. I have medium tone skin. I used it about twice a day for almost 2 weeks and did not have any noticeable results. I didn't have...

I never got to see what kind of "Island Glow" this would have turned into, because after the first use I broke out in huge welts. Yuuuck. If you have skin that is at all sensitive, don't use this...

Without a doubt, this is the best self-tanner I have ever used. I have been using it for about a week now - I apply after showering just like body lotion, and I haven't used it every day, maybe...

I looooooove this stuff! I really do. It doesn't have that "self-tanner smell" and it didn't turn my skin orange. Fantastic. I'm going to stockpile this stuff.

The best moisturizer/self tanner I have ever tried! Nice color (no orange!!!!) and best of all it smells like green tea, very pleasant. It goes on nice and smooth and no streaks. Very...

I picked this up on a whim, not knowing anything about it and I am very impressed! I used the Jergens last year and it rubbed off on my clothing and gave me hives. I've been using the Island Glow...

The best self tanner I have ever bought. Got it at Walmart for under $7. No streaking no orange look at all. This is by far the most pleasant smelling selftanner. You can smell the DHA in it but...

I found this the other day at Savon and after reading rave reviews here, despite the high price tag of over $8.00 I decided to try it. There was an instant rebate of $2.00 so that helped. One thing...

This was an okay product. Definitely less odor than most self tanners. But, see my review for Sally Hansen Airbrush Sun and you'll see why I won't be purchasing Island Glow again! I've found my...

By far "The Best" self tanner!!! A gradual tan within a daily moisturizer. So easy and fool-proof. NO STREAKS! If you want a deep, dark, fake look this is not your product. If you want a beautiful,...
