I've tried every sunless tanner under the sun (<--- Haha no pun intended) anyways yeah this is THE BEST by far!!! Even compared to expensive brands I've bought at Sephora. Not only does it give A beautiful natural looking tan it also leaves a subtle sparkle and glow to your skin. I just wish it were easier to find, a lot of stores don't carry it out here :(

This is nothing like the old Tanner. It says new formula but is nothing like the old one and now I’m having trouble finding anything similar to the gelee. I’m my opinion the gelee was the best and easiest tanner on the market and my friends agree with that too. Such a shame that all great things have to change.

I like it but formula needs re-engineering

2 months ago
I used this product several years ago and switched to a more expensive spray mist product from another company and store but came back to this because it's half the price, larger size lasts longer and doesn't get in my eyes. HOWEVER, i dont recall the prior formula having shimmer/glitter in it. I can't imagine for the life of me why Loreal would put glitter in this; it's pointless and juvenile. I'm 59 years old; I don't need glitter! Also, I think they should bring back the deep formula; it takes me 3 uses of the medium to get any real noticeable tan; I'm used to a once and done application. It goes on like tinted moisturizer for instant color which I like but the glitter needs to go!

This is a waste of money. I’ve used it 3 times exactly as directed and I look blotchy and streaky. The old formula was great. This is straight up crap. Stop selling this crap to people. It doesn’t work! I would apply the old formula once and it achieved great results. This crap just washes off. This is false advertising. L’Oreal is just stealing peoples money with this product and wasting our time. Will never buy again! And why do you put this sparkly glitter in it? It washes off anyway. Dumb

I apply this straight after the shower every Sunday, weds, and fri..sometimes I skip Friday if my coverage looks great. My friends always complement how beautiful my skin color is. They also say I must be going to a tanning bed during the winter as well as the lotion and I laugh at them praising this lotion. The key is to continue an every other day application and I stays beautiful and natural looking. This lotion is all you need. You will need nothing else.

I found this product because I was searching for something less expensive than another product I was currently using, that I was purchasing on-line. Its very hard to find a self tanner that doesn't streak. I LOVE this product!! At a third of the cost of what I had been using, it goes on easy and smooth. When rubbed in completely it leaves no streaking and drys fast! I always exfoliate before use and it works great!! Last longer than what I was using too and no strong odor!

It's quick-drying, goes on & blends out really easily & evenly, and gives my skin this really beautiful caramelized warm look. A quick heads up, it is much more of a bronzer than a tanner, i.e., it goes orange & looks better atop olive-y tans vs paler skin. Gorgeous overall, though.

I am very fair, so I never apply too much self tanning products. Sometimes one application is good for days. I've been using L'oreal Sublime Bronze for a few years. The color is bronzy a few hours after applying. I like that it doesn't have a lot of glitter. Cons: Runny and sticky after applying.

Also even when it dries I still feel sticky. The product says “luminous” but it is actually caked full of glitter that makes my skin look even worse. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Subtle and Natural

I received this product for free for reviewing purposes from Influenster. I tried this about 4 hours ago, I have an amazing believable bronze tone to my skin. It is very subtle, but I think the effect can be built up with more layers. This makes your skin noticable more hydrated and pleasant to the touch. The cocnut smell is also amazing; however if you are a person who is sensitive to smells it may be overpowering. Overall this product creates an enjoyable application experience, but may have to be layered for a more dramatic effect. I am going to purchase this product for myself in the future.

Did it wrong but got good results

8 years ago
I bought this last year when I had a sunburn I was trying to cover (bad idea I know) and I totally forgot about it until yesterday. I’ve applied it 4 times since I found it and even after the first use I am a bronze goddess. I know they say not to use it with any otherness product but I used Palmer’s with it (mixed them together) and I got instant results. I am currently 5 shades darker than I was yesterday and it looks natural. It doesn’t dry immediately which is good when you consider you have time to move it around before it dries and it decreases streaks. I love this stuff. I can’t wait to put some sun over it so I’ll be even darker.

Washed off in water after first day

I loved it after the 1st application until I hopped in the shower 8 hours later and it rinsed off with just water. The water was brown. Now its barely, if at all, noticable. I will keep at it but I may need multiple applications for it to be noticeable... this is saying a lot because I'm a very fair skinned red head. Why did it all rinse right off?

Hi there! This product should be applied on clean, exfoliated skin. Please make sure that there is no lotion or any type of moisturizer on your body before you apply the product. The product may have washed off because it was not fully absorbed into the skin. You must also use daily until you achieve your desired look. If you have any further questions, you may certainly give us a call at our toll-free number 800-322-2036. We hope this helps!

I have used this product a few weeks now on my very white, sensitive skin. This product leaves a nature looking tan, minus the glitter, also.. it has not made me break out like multiple other products. I don't like the sticky feel or how long it takes to dry. Compared to the mist, this leaves a better color but the mist dries faster.

I bought this because Walmart didn't carry my favorite bronzer Banna Boats deep dark lotion. It hasn't dried yet but so far I don't like this at all. Instead of a lotion feeling smooth and moisturized I feel sticky and it isn't really glittery. I like that it is tinted upon application but it is very thin and hard to distribute. If you want a good bronzer use Banna Boat deep dark the medium/light looks more orange.

I've tried every sunless tanner under the sun (<--- Haha no pun intended) anyways yeah this is THE BEST by far!!! Even compared to expensive brands I've bought at Sephora. Not only does it give A beautiful natural looking tan it also leaves a subtle sparkle and glow to your skin. I just wish it were easier to find, a lot of stores don't carry it out here :(

i have been a constant consumer of the loreal self tanning products for many years. I have recommended them to numerous friends/colleagues-even purchased one for a girl who worked at a tan salon, as she loved my tan! although I have tried the most recent ones, my VERY fav is still the SUBLIME luminous bronzer and esp. the SUBLIME bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion! could not live with out these!

I didn't really like this product. It didn't add much color if any at all. All it did was make my body look like I rolled around in glitter. Will definitely be taking it back.

    Which sublime product is safe to use on your face?

    1 answer
    1. Hi there- Thanks for reaching out about our tanning products. If you want something for the face you would want to use the Self-Tanning Serum. Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Serum will have you looking sun-kissed and golden year-round with a naturally bronzed glow that lasts for up to 2 weeks. Add this into your moisturizer for a glow. We hope this helps.

    I have Loreal Paris new Sublime Sun Sunscreen SPF 30. Is there an expiration date?

    1 answer
    1. Hi Miss Betts! Thank you for your interest in our Luminous Bronzer. Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected. If your product looks and smells the way it normally does, it is good to use. Certain products, for example sunscreens, may have an expiration date printed on the product.

    Does this or any other bronzer have Sunscreen?  Do any of your makeup products contain suncreen? You don't mention it anywhere that I can see.

    1. Hi CookieJar! Our Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer does not contain sunscreen. However, our Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup contains SPF 18. We hope this is helpful!

    Just bought this today an used it after my bath. I normally use  Neutrogena spray which by morning I'm tan. Will this tan like that or is it a gradual change? Also I used a body sponge to apply. Don't mind the shimmer an smell at all. 

    1 answer
    1. Hi there! This product will produce a gradual tan. We recommend that you apply it daily until you have reached your desired level of tan. Then, apply 1-2 times per week to maintain. We hope this helps!

    what do the codes 20M105 and 20Ln00 mean on bronzers?

    1 answer
    1. Hi there! These codes are referred to as Lot Codes. They tell us which of our manufacturing plants produced the product. This code does not reveal anything about an expiration date. Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected. If your product looks and smells the way it normally does, it is good to use. Certain products, for example sunscreens, may have an expiration date printed on the product. We hope this helps!

    I love the Luminous Bronzer Instant Action lotion but I'm having a hard time finding it in a store locally. I have ordered it online from 2 places and both times I received Tinted Self-Tanning Sublime Bronze in Medium. Is this replacing the lotion?

    1 answer
    1. Hi Kathycats! Our Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer has been discontinued. However we do have our Sublime Bronze Tinted Self Tanning Lotion. Although it is not an exact replacement, we believe it is very similar.
