Awful streaks
I can’t recommend this, it leaves awful streaks and the colour is too dark on my pale skin. I’ve used much cheaper gradual tanning lotions in the past that work much better. I gave two stars as it’s not bad on the face, and so I will use it for that going forward.

Lasts & works each time
I've still got a bottle I bought three years ago (sorry CB!) so you really don't need to use much. It's simple and milky and I put it on over moisturiser without using a mitt and I've never had streaks. I'll have to order another bottle soon!

First tanning moisturizer I don’t hate
I bought this and was delightfully surprised. As I am very pale I wanted a minimal effect, so that people don’t look at me like a psycho the next day. It did its job perfectly, and you could see the full glow after day 1. I bought an applicator mitt to avoid smudges! Now I don’t look like a vampire

Winter Tanner
Love this, see loads of people posting it on instagram and with lockdown and it being winter I couldnt be bothered for a full tan (coco and eve) so I got this so I could go to work and not look pasty. It is great! So simple! Wash your hands after and make sure you let it dry before you put socks on as you will get tan rings also follow the instructions with this!

No sticky feeling
I've tried lots of tanning products, including other gradual tanning moisturisers and this is my favourite. It smells lovely and soaks in and dries straight away, leaving your skin feeling super smooth!

Best with a mitt
I can see lots of reviews saying it can leave streaks, but I find if you use a mitt and buff it in evenly then its definitely the best gradual tanner I've tried. I like to Coco & Eve mitt with it!

After smell
It works. It leaves a nice tan. Just apply carefully and evenly because it will leave patches. Wash your hands after. It leaves a beautiful tan but I find I don’t use it that often because of the after smell.

Great product
Great product although I wouldn’t describe it as gradual! More like when you go for a spray tan and it develops in a few hours. I found it to go on easily but make sure you do do the circle movements when rubbing to make sure. Would buy again!

Love
I am a regular fake tanner and I think I have tried pretty much everything on the market. I am totally converted to tan luxe, and it has definitely become a repeat purchase for me. I love the natural colour it gives, and it's dark enough to notice a difference with just one application. It's not sticky and it doesn't fade patchy so you can use it a few times a week. Would recommend!

Natural looking tan
This is one of my favourite tanning products! I love using gradual tanning lotions as opposed to a mouse as they give you to opportunity to build your tan up to your desired colour. I have fairly pale skin and this gives me a really natural tan after one use and if I want to be a little bit darker I'll use this a few times a week. This has quite a runny consistency which makes it really easy to apply - it also sinks in pretty quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky. This does have a slight 'fake tan' smell once you first apply this, however, this does not linger on the skin and I find it completely disappears the next morning. If you are looking for a tanning product that's really easy to apply and is streak free I would definitely go for this one, however, even though this is a gradual lotion remember to wash your hands afterwards!
