Best Bang for Your Buck! Beginner Friendly!!

7 years ago

As a first time tanner I was expecting the #tanningfail, but I was so pleasantly surprised! This is a very user-friendly tanner. I did use a tanning mitt so my hands wouldn't get over saturated for anyone who was wondering. Although it is a clear formula I found it was still easy to feel out where I had not applied the tanner. The formula was very light and easy to smooth over and the results were a beautiful natural looking tan that was not to dark or to orange. The biggest part of this tanner I enjoyed was the "build-able" aspect of it. Another reason its a great tanner for beginners. The only things I can say I didn't complete love was the fragrance is fairly strong. I could still smell the scent after developing the tan for 8+ hours. The fragrance is not a awful scent by any means, it smelled like a tropical lotion. And the other thing was the stickiness. It does go away after a couple hours but it is a bit sticky. Having said that I'll take stickiness over transferring onto my sheets any day. Which this self tanner claim of being transfer resistant is spot on! My white sheets look great! I would definitely repurchase this product! As well as recommend to my friends and family!

Horrible feeling

7 years ago

I bought this product bc I normally like the way that water mousse is easy to use. But this product is so sticky and so itchy after you have put it on. I could not sleep I was up all night felt like I was never dry after having it on the 4-8hrs that it recommends. I have been miserable all night doing everything to try and dry this product on my skin. I will Never buy this product again and what is so bad is that bought multiple bottles of this so once it was time to reapply I would have the product. I am so unimpressed with this. I recommend Not buying this item unless you want to be like myself and be up all night with no sleep and miserable. Thumbs down for sure.

In reading the other reviews of this product, I also have had issues with the pump no longer working and still have half the bottle left. it does give minimal color, does remain sticky for quite some time after applying but does have a pleasant smell. I have also used the sublime glow daily moisturizer, it does give color, but the smell is terrible. the sublime bronze luminous bronzer gives the best color, does take awhile to dry and is sticky for some time with an odor. color for these products look good for several days, but then they start to peel off in pieces.

Not good at all

It left no color, and gave me a really bad reaction. I have used this before a while ago and this didn't happen prior. My legs are bright red and covered in little but very painful bumps (and I mean like thousands of them), I have scrubbed the tanner off twice but the bumps aren't getting any better, and the itch is just getting much worse. will not be repurchasing or using this product again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Skhy from Nice even tan, but smelly, flakey and watery I've used this product for years, but I'm moving on. I like how it results in a subtle tan and you can control how dark a tan you want. I only use it once a day in winter, but if I use too often, it will flake off after a shower. Today, a new bottle came out like water. I need it to come out like mousse! This isn't the first bottle that hasn't "foamed" for me. Plus the smell seems worse. I love L'Oreal products but I'm done with this one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by VIOLETTE from These 4 and 5-star reviews are all paid shills I'm convinced these 4 and 5-star reviews are all paid or fraudulent shills. Lord have mercy, this stuff is the worst. It takes practically AN ENTIRE BOTTLE to build up to two applications of the (discontinued) Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Medium Gelee. Why on earth would they discontinue the gelee --the only product in this lineup that could compete with Jergens, with this useless foam. Oh, that's right - because it takes AN ENTIRE BOTTLE. Ka-ching! $$$$$ Your towelettes are streaky, the lotion is tacky, Well, congrats, L'Oreal. You've lost this longtime (DECADES) customer's business.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jillybeans from Horrible I have used Loreal self tanners for years. I couldn't find the lotion I usually use, so bought the mousse. I was happy to see that it was white, instead of brown. It tanned my legs nicely by the next morning. After my shower, with special attention to washing my legs with soap, I realized brown stains on my towel. After the second shower the next day, I could rub off the brown onto my towel. This is terrible, and never happened with the sublime bronze self tanning lotion -- which I will try to find to buy.

However I bought the L'Oreal sublime bronze self tanning water mousse. At first it used to spray out foamy and then it stopped spraying out the foam and it was just really like water. I know it says water mousse but I expected it to be like a mousse. I still have a quarter of the bottle left but not sure how well it will really work if it doesn't spray out with the mousse effect. Please let me know what you think. Thanks

I have used everything from Jergens to St. Tropez and beyond. There is no product that compares to this one. I have probably gone through over 40 bottles in the past 4 years I've been using it. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING IT'S SPLOTCHY ARE NOT APPLYING IT RIGHT. This product is a game changer. If Loreal ever stops selling this self tan I'm actually never going in public again. Thank you Loreal

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kelly79 from Very Little Color and Splotchy at Best This product is very tacky even more so than other self tanners I have used but that is not a deal breaker. However, the color or should I say lack there of is a deal breaker. I have barely any color at all even after multiple applications. Not what you would expect for a bottle that says medium bronze. My "tan" is not medium or bronze at all. I have hardly any color on my legs. What little color I do have is very splotchy. I would not recommend this product at all and will not purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Danielle from Natural glowing skin I work for a dermatologist, so I know how much damage the sun can do to people's skin. After seeing what I've seen at work, I decided that tanning in the sun was not for me and I wanted to find a self tanner that would give me the look of a tan without the damage. I was grocery shopping one day and came across this product. I was hesitant to try it because other self tanners failed me. This was easy to apply, dried quickly and had a pleasant scent. I showered and exfoliated and put this all over my body. I used a mitt for my body and makeup brush for my face. I went to bed that night and woke up surprised. My sheets were not stained and I had a wonderful, natural Glow to my skin. I have pale skin and this product worked perfectly. I applied a second coat to 12 hours later and I'm excited for the results. This self tanner gave me a more even color than the professional spray tans I have tried. I will definitely buy this product again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Queenbee77336 from Not bad So Recently I’ve been on a journey to find the perfect self tanner. This is the 4th self tanner I’ve used within the last 3 months and honestly it wasn’t horrible. The smell is great during application, smells like coconuts. I don’t like that there isn’t a color guide, it comes out looking like foam soap and rubs right into the skin. It was easy to apply despite the lack of color guide. It dried pretty quickly, I was only sticky on my stomachs but after about 30 min it went away. The next morning there was only a subtle scent of self tanner and there was no transfer onto my sheets. I used a mit to apply to majority of my body and brush for my face, hands and feet. Unfortunately the product only developed on the places I used product. It’s no streaky, but does have a good bit of orange in it. It’s pretty subtle and had it developed everywhere else likely would of been a good color. Unfortunately it would be an absolute pain to use a brush to apply on my whole body. I’ll keep the product and give it another shot one day.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Br3395 from It’s Alright As a gradual tanner (and no mess!) I do like this product, however even after moisturizing dry areas twice before applying it still clung on to them fairly easily. It is a beautiful, natural, and subtle tan that you can build up, but it uses up about a 4th of the bottle for 1 application. I had to do 2 applications to achieve the subtle tan I wanted and the bottle is almost half gone.

I have nowhere to go and thought I’d give self tanning a go! Overall, I liked it. Easy to use, didn’t streak, smelled okay. The only thing... this is definitely on light side of ‘medium’ I guess for something so reasonably priced I shouldn’t be complaining. I guess I just wanted it a little darker. It is a good tone, though. Before and after sleeping about 12.... let’s be honest. Covid-19 has me WORE OUT!

I then took a shower and put more on when I got out. When I woke up this morning I had a beautiful not at all orange tan. I absolutely love this product when I run out I will be purchasing again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by katieb24 from Awesome I just saw a lot of negative reviews so I thought I should write one that I thought truly reflected the product. I love this mousse because it is clear so it doesn't stain clothes. I'm not sure if you are supposed to wash it off after those 8 hours but I never do and it works great. Someone said it was sticky but I think it's only sticky if you load on excessive amounts and then don't let it dry but that would make sense. It doesn't make me look orange but maybe that has something to do with skin undertones because I'm more of an olive undertone compared to a pink.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Debwest from Puff a tan! First tried free sample and I was hooked! Stopped going to tan salon. Goes on light, sinks in quickly, has none of the icky self tanner smell and is absolutely weightless on your skin! Never slides into wrinkles and blends beautifully!

Rated 4 out of 5 by KMS428 from Best Bang for Your Buck! Beginner Friendly!! As a first time tanner I was expecting the #tanningfail, but I was so pleasantly surprised! This is a very user-friendly tanner. I did use a tanning mitt so my hands wouldn't get over saturated for anyone who was wondering. Although it is a clear formula I found it was still easy to feel out where I had not applied the tanner. The formula was very light and easy to smooth over and the results were a beautiful natural looking tan that was not to dark or to orange. The biggest part of this tanner I enjoyed was the "build-able" aspect of it. Another reason its a great tanner for beginners. The only things I can say I didn't complete love was the fragrance is fairly strong. I could still smell the scent after developing the tan for 8+ hours. The fragrance is not a awful scent by any means, it smelled like a tropical lotion. And the other thing was the stickiness. It does go away after a couple hours but it is a bit sticky. Having said that I'll take stickiness over transferring onto my sheets any day. Which this self tanner claim of being transfer resistant is spot on! My white sheets look great! I would definitely repurchase this product! As well as recommend to my friends and family!

Rated 2 out of 5 by svalerio from Sticky! I have always used Jergen's self tanner, and thought I would try this product. I liked the application, but even 2 hours later my skin is a STICKY mess! I hope it doesn't come off on my white sheets tonight. I applied it 10 hours prior to bed, with no exercise, etc. Don't plan on buying it again. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Schmeena42 from Super easy and mess free! This is the first self tanner I’ve tried and I honestly love it. It doesn’t have any bronzer in it so it doesn’t stain anything but also manages to go on smooth with no streaking even without the guide color. It can stay a little tacky if you accidentally put on too much but I rather feel tacky then have my clothes and bed stained orange!

Rated 1 out of 5 by KatieW14 from Does not work! I bought this tanner a few days ago and I have applied it 3 days in a row and I see absolutely no difference in the color of my skin. This product has not tanned me at all. The only good thing about it is the smell, but there is no point in wasting your time and money buying and using this all over your body when it doesn't make you tan at all. I do not recommend!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachel1991 from Natural looking, easy to apply I love this. I like it so much better than lotions I've used in the past, it think it spreads evenly without having to use much product. It doesn't stain my hands and gives me a very natural-looking tan. I haven't noticed it staining my clothes or sheets. The best part is it is so cheap compared to other brands that offer water-based self-tanners.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MissSuzy from Pump doesn’t work I bought 2 bottles of this Mousse because it was on sale. Also bought the Sublime Towelettes on sale too. The first bottle of Mousse worked fine, then switched to the towelettes. Now attempting to use the 2nd bottle and the pump doesn’t work must remove the top and apply the liquid by hand!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Katkatkat from SMELL Thought I would try it. Smelled horrible. Stained my sheets and was sticky. Over priced. Color was good. But does not last. Back to the gradual tan type lotion i go.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tldavison from No mousse! Absorbs really good and nice smell but disappointed it came out like watery foam but definitely not mousse! It was a little messy to apply because it was watery. Did I get a bad bottle?

Rated 5 out of 5 by SunshineGirl from No Greasy Feeling!!!! I've been looking for a self tanner that leave NO residue and soaks in, this is it! Love the smell also but wish it came in a non-smaell formula as well for the days I'm not feeling as tropical.

Rated 5 out of 5 by alisonp66 from Golden Glow!!! I applied this right before bed and it smells soo good and absolutely no transferring on my white sheets, just a little on my towel after my first shower!! I honestly didn't think I got as dark as I did the first application so I wanted to even it out with a second application and went about my day and a few hours later had such a perfect, even golden tan!! I've applied it almost every other day on my face and body and haven't broken out, I love it!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jamie19 from Disappointing The mousse feels great during application but it has the staining/ orange effects that many old school tanning products have. There are so many other self tanners with more advanced formulas that do not result in the streakiness.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bionda9999 from Not so great features I have been using this for several days now. I like the concept, the easy application and the smell. However there is no result. My super pale legs are just that. Not even a hue of tan. Nothing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate R from Best self tanner I got this item in the mail to review. And it is honestly the best, easiest self tanner ever. If goes on super easy, doesn’t streak, doesn’t stain clothes and doesn’t smell bad. I love this stuff. Highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by lynn27 from Fabulous for Vitiligo Sufferers I suffer with Vitiligo and I am constantly looking for the perfect self tanner to help blend my skin so the non pigment areas are not so prominent. Every Spring I go through the same routine and saw this new product on the shelf so I thought I would give it a try. Well, it works fabulous, I started off just in the white areas of my skin, then the next day did it all over so it will blend all together. It does not give you the typical orange look and because it is watery it allows you to evenly spread all over your skin without uneven streaks. I ca not rave enough about this product! Thank you L'Oreal for having a product like this

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordanxleigh from Amazing! I’m not one to ever write reviews.. ever! This stuff is amazing. I got so white over the winter.. I was looking for something to give me a great color and came across this. Very easy to apply. Not streaky. Gave me a great tan! I get compliments all the time on my color. Now I have friends using it! It is a bit sticky but other than that it’s amazing! Highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by Megggggg777 from Great color! I was a huge fan of the other Sublime foam they discontinued so I was eager to try this. My expectations were met! Very easy application with a great smell and not streaky at all. Definitely not an instant dark tan but I actually like how natural it looks! I think I will like my results even more once I apply more layers. Will definitely repurchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cat 44 from Unbelievable I purchased this on Friday 29th March, followed the instructions and was hesitant that it would work. However I certainly changed my mind immediately. I have used all of your sunless tanning products in the past, streaking and the awful orange color. Now to this new amazing ,wonderful product. When I awoke this morning I was golden. Following the instructions is easy and if people would do that , they would have no issues. I shall be purchasing two bottles today when I shop, so that I will not run out. Perhaps soon you will have a coupon for a few dollars off, if not I will still buy this. I just got out of the shower and applied a second time and will be anxious to see what color I will be tomorrow. To the people who came up with this wonderful THANK YOU. I will use it to be sun kissed my June 1 which is a very social week in my life. Thank you again.
