Not a fan
This is one of the worst self tanners I've used. I'm pretty fair and this showed up very orange and streaky on me. It also fades very patchy. I've tried it multiple times with no luck. I love their tannings drops, go for that instead and get a more even, customizable tan!

Best one I've found
This is pretty good and easy to use. I'm still searching for one for really pale people who need a different tone. But I felt confident and it was easy to apply without streaks.

Not worth the extra £££
In comparison to other gradual tan moisturisers this is probably my least favourite one I have used. Nice smell when you first put it on and nice tan colour but why I won’t buy again: - Not moisturising enough, legs still feel dry and not moisturised all day - Tan goes patchy very quickly - Expensive for what you pay in comparison with other gradual tans (Palmers cocoa butter in Boots 10 x better for less than £5)

Very good tan cream
Very good cream with subtle results. There is no staining or streaks. I would recommend it.

Disappointed
Wanted to treat myself to some 'sun' during lock down, an easy product to moisturise with every day that would brighten me and my mood. Smells fruity but otherwise I found this product disappointing. It has a very thin, liquid texture, which made it difficult to apply. It dried quickly and was not tacky or sticky, no colour or transfer. But the end result is extremely streaky and patchy and more orange than a natural glow.

Best Tan
I've been trying a lot of self tan products from supermarkets to luxury ones. This product is the first one that finally does not makes me look too orange after few applications. I like to mix it with my night cream to have an extra glow on my face. I use it with no mix on my body, especially on my legs, and the color looks natural and bright. I would recommend to use it in the night so has time to properly dry when you sleep

Not worth the extra money
No smells, no streaks, no drama' is written on the back of this product. There is a strong smell and it does leave streaks, so really this isn't any better than any other, cheaper self-tanner. The colour is nice but a lot darker than expected after one application. I will use this bottle up but won't repurchase.

Smells like raspberries
It really does! That's the first thing that struck me: wow, it doesn't smell nasty or sickly sweet like some of my other tanners. The juicy sour notes of raspberry actually mask the "fake tan" smell very well, it's barely noticeable, very faint. The tan is subtle, as it should be. Not orange at all (pale olive approved!).

Not better, not worse, than your average self tan
This is by no means a bad product. But it's also not something I would go out and recommend to my friends. Positives: nice colour, not too orange after one application. Application is pleasant. Negatives: smells just like any other self tan, it just takes a bit longer before the smell develops, but it's there and it's awful. It is definitely streaky. So, all in all, nothing to rave about.
