Tanceuticals Facial Self Tanner - Self Tanning Lotion for Face Gives Natural, Long Lasting Sunless Tan - Fresh Coconut Scent - Won’t Clog Pores or Cause Acne - Easy to Apply - 1.7 oz (Dark)

*First time product user* I bought this product after research to find the best rated self tanner and this was listed in the top 5. First, this product came in it's usual expected packaging with the seals for the containers intact. It went on easier than many other self tanners I've tried. It felt smooth and moisturizing. At first, it had a pleasant lotion smell, but after 6 hours or so, that typical self tanner smell crept in. However, it was NOT as strong as other products I've used. I showered, exfoliated, and dried off first. Applied lotion. Applied extra lotion to my feet and ankles so the color wouldn't grab in those areas. I waited 5-10 minutes, then applied the self tanner starting with my feet and working my way up. I did wear disposable gloves. I gave it several minutes to dry, stood in front of my fan before putting on my nightshirt. I'm happily surprised to say when I woke up, I had a very natural deep tan and best of all NO STREAKS. I also bought the self tanner specifically for the face and it also turned out looking like a real tan. It didn't look orange-y either. I can't stress enough to apply lots of good lotion to your feet and ankles. I would definitely buy this again.

This is a dual rating: Face Tanner/Dark & Body Tanner Ultra Dark. Firstly, I’m fair w/some freckles and red undertones. However I do get relatively tan if I abuse myself in the sun—I don’t! I would rate the face tanner as very good. It’s a nice golden brown color on my skin. Although, I did need two applications, back to back, to get the color I like. I live on the gulf coast/Beach so being darker year around doesn’t raise eyebrows. The face tanner does have a less DHA smell then others I have used. No streaking and fades naturally. Now, the ultra dark body tanner is spectacular. One application and I was tan...two applications (2nd day) and I was week on the beach brown. It’s a superb golden brown color. Pretty much matched my normal tan without the red undertones. Hands down the best and deepest color I’ve ever gotten from a self tanner. No streaking so far but I there were a few spots around my feet that got a bit too dark. This is an intense tanner so follow a good application routine. Also, it does have a tanner smell once it develops...I would not wear on a date, for example. I’m a guy, if that matters.

To start...I'm not an avid self tanner. Every product I've used over the years when I've gotten an itch to be a bit darker has left me either orange, too dark, or splotchy. I didn't go into this with high hopes at all, but it exceeded my expectations. I'm white. Like translucent white. With very red undertones...when I do tan in the sun it's looks more red than sunkissed brown. I did a small test patch on my leg the day before to make sure it wasn't going to be bright orange on my face, and seeing how dark it got on that spot overnight I opted to take a day and stay home so I could wash it off if it was getting too dark. The cream itself is very smooth and moisturizing...great for my dry skin. It did burn a bit at first but no red skin irritations. The color was good for me, it is definitely a bit 'warm', not a true brown, more like when I tan in the sun naturally. If you have cool undertones, I can see where it may look more orange than it did on me. Be warned though...this stuff STINKS. Smells great for about ten minutes...after that, pure DHA smell. Don't expect to leave the house if you do it during the day, it smells like burnt underarm hair. Other than that, didn't rub off on white pillows, not splotchy, and there's quite a lot in that little tube. Expect if I keep it up it would last probably a month, month and a half.

Excellent, moist and natural looking.

After ordering the Tanceuticals Facial Self Tanner, I was anxious to try it out, given the overwhelmingly positive reviews I saw online. However, I now know why they have all of the positive reviews. The Amazon people will keep emailing you requesting you give a positive review until you finally give in. In all fairness, I found, after using the product for a week that the product did provide me with what appears to be a nice tan on the face and neck. I'm not disputing that. What I found to be overwhelming was the pungent and offensive smell of the cream you are putting on your face. This product not only has an offensive odor, it also stays with you for hours, yes hours! The smell will not go away. I found it to be so bad that it was nauseating my stomach. I thought perhaps I would eventually get used to it but it did not happen. I also felt like the product made my face feel greasy. I'm sorry, despite the nice appearance of a tan on my face, I can't handle the offensive smell! I will continue to look for a more suitable self tanning product that doesn't upset my stomach from the offensive odor.

This is the ultimate self tanner for your face. others fade quickly and this doesn't. I use a glycolic acid on my face daily due to congestion and dullness and this stands up to my daily regime. It's natural looking not orange and it looks like you have been sunkissed for a few days. It smells wonderful, goes on clear so you can go on about your day without looking ridiculous and it doesn't clog pores. I have also used the body version and it's great as well it's lasts forever even 10 days later when I wanted to reapply it was hard to exfoliate! But it faded beautifully , no scaly patchy stuff like other self tanners.

Love this self tanner. Easy to apply, dries quickly and looks like a regular tan. No streaking or turning orange.

I was recommended this product from a local gym. It is probably my favorite self tanner I have used thus far. It looks nice on and is easy to apply. I did purchase the mitt and it helps to apply the product well. Feet is always a challenge for me. I do put it on before bed and wake up with a nice glow. It does not get on my clothing or sheets. The smell is ok , not great but not overpowering at all.

I have used this product for over two years now & am very pleased with the results. Leaves a very natural tan.
