This is my first self tanning product purchase (well, since highschool in the 00s when we had no options other than jergens). I wanted something to give my legs a bit of colour early in the summer - I love wearing shorts and dresses but can be a bit self conscious about my pale legs compared to the rest of me that gets more natural sun. Anyways. I am fair skinned, and bought the medium/dark by accident. it was a happy accident and I love it. If I were using it daily, yes it would definitely get too dark quickly. I use it 2-3x per week, and it's perfect. The only time I had streaking was when I used it the first time and wasn't very careful. I just wash my hands after and haven't had any orange-hand-problems. The scent is quite pleasant to me, though I could see if being a bit strong for some people.

I love this stuff! It is so nice! It is hydrating with great ingredients. Exactly what I have been looking for in a self tanner. I want all the good ingredients in one self tanner. Life is busy enough as it is, I don't need to add more steps to my routine. After a couple uses it shows up as an even tan colour, and gets darker the more you use it. I have been loving it, I use it every 2 or 3 days (after first building it up), and I have a nice, even tan, no weird lines. No smell either. No stains on my sheets and clothes (I loathe that from tinted tanners). And such a great price point. I'm amazed. It's so great!

Honestly the colour I get from this medium/dark "gradual" lotion is better than some regular non gradual foam tans. This doesn't smell at all and gives a good medium caramel glow. It's a bit runny so hard to apply but not patchy at all. I think I'm going to switch to this every couple of days rather than a messy full body foam once a week.
