I LOVE this product. I got it in the medium shade and did my whole body - the results were incredible. I have never used a tan before and I never knew it could be this easy. This product seriously doesn't transfer nor is it difficult to apply. I apply it after I take a shower and am golden for the rest of the week. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Beginner friendly

So I am new to sunless tanning, and figured that the water would be my best bet. I used a mitt like it said to, and I left this on for about four hours. I am borderline light/medium naturally, so I went for the dark. It is so natural looking, and so easy to use. I made a user error, and didn't do a part of my leg. Oh well. So far loving this stuff on first impressions.

Easy for beginners!

I got the tanning water in medium and love it! I am an amateur self tanner and this was my time using any form of self tan. The application is easy and there is no transfer at all! I do recommend spraying in sections so you know where the product is!

It really works

In the morning of I used the express spray and 4 hours later showered it off, then applied the drops in with moisturizer and applied. I looked evenly tan from head to toe. It really works. I didn't use a mitt, applied by hand and still came out even without any streaks. I thought it was going to smell but it didn't. My sister noticed that I looked tan three days later. Even with showering the tan has stuck with me.

Best self-tanner (maybe better than St. Tropez)

I was incredibly skeptical of this tan water, as I am used to the St. Tropez gel, but I thought I would give it a try. I ordered color "dark" and with one application, it didn't seem very dark to me. I rinsed in the shower then reapplied another layer of self tanner, making sure that I applied enough. The results throughout the day and the next day were awesome. I was so tan and so pleased with this formula. It is sticky at first when it is drying, but after you shower and moisturize, there is no stickiness and you are left with a beautiful bronze glow. I am obsessed and Tanologist lives up to the hype. Make sure you allow yourself enough time before an event to let the tan develop (start a day or two before you need to be tan). The formula is buildable and lightweight.

Pretty fool-proof!

Self-tanning takes practice. No one is going to do it perfectly their first time. I've tried different self tanners on and off for about 10 years, and this one feels like the most intuitive one I've ever used. I am rather fair skinned, so I always go for the lightest shade possible. This spray tanning water is easy to use and buff in with a mitt, doesn't smell disgusting, and leaves a gorgeous subtle non-orange glow! I've washed it off after 4 hours, and I've slept in it over night. The only time it has rubbed off on sheets is if I've sweat through the night, but it came right out in the wash. All in all, I will definitely buy again!

My favorite

This self tanning water is my favorite to use. You have to use a mitt to make it look good. You can't just spray it on and go. If you use a good mitt You will get a great self tan. I've used countless self tanners out there's and this one is one of the best I've ever used. Gives you color like you been to the beach tanning. No orange color! No bad smell! Just a smooth good looking tan.

Magic Water

I was skeptical of tanning water but decided to give this a try. The price was good, so why not? I was pleasantly surprised at how the color looked on my skin. I used a mitt to get the color even. It doesn't spread as well as a mousse and I was a bit nervous that it would look streaky but it looked fine and very natural. Will be purchasing again!

Love it

Love the finish of the dark shade and doesn't fade bad at all. I was scared at first of no color guard but I've learned to love it because no need to wash off in the morning and doesn't dry out my skin at all

LOVE!!!

Love this product!! I mixed in 2 drops with my normal amount of moisturizer, applied, and went to bed like normal. The next day, it looked like I had spent the whole day at the beach! Super natural looking, just a nice glow to my skin. Definitely recommend this as a great dupe to the Isle of Paradise drops.

Love

I will update to see how it fades but so far I love this self tanner. I have used tons of self tanners including st tropez and loving tan and this one was so easy to apply and came out beautifully. The scent is mild and pleasant and I was left with a beautiful even color. I sprayed it on my skin and used a mit to rub it in. For my hands I mixed lotion and the spray. I didn't use it on my face and used the drops with lotion on my face but I am very happy with results. Hoping it fades nicely 🤞

Wow!

My obligatory *I never write reviews* lol but seriously. I'm a die hard St. Tropez fan for many years. Never tired anything else because if it's not broke why fix it? But I was in a pinch and randomly picked this up and wow! Last long, doesn't come off. Even got in hot tub and took shower and next day I still had color to me! Doesn't smell nearly as bad as St, Tropez and doesn't have nearly as much transfer which is crazy because it's so much cheaper?! I sprayed it on and rubbed it in with a mitt and left it on overnight. Absolutely love. Even put it on my face and no break outs. Goes on smoother and more even, which I was surprised considering I couldn't see where I was really putting it. My new fav!

Lazy girl tanner

I use this a couple times a week when I get out of the shower. I spray it alllllll over and rub it in and move on with my day. Literally takes 1 minute. No dry time. Not sticky. Not a bad smell. I love it.

So easy

Super easy to use. Little to no dry time and not too strong of a smell compared to some mousse!

Easy

Wait I love this product. It takes a second to put on, it completely dries down and doesn't stain and I didn't find it blotchy. Granted I didn't use it as an express I wore it to bed. I'm Asian so I'm also naturally a little tanner so maybe that's why it's not as streaky or splotchy? I don't even notice when it comes off it just fades. The color looks nice and healthy I love it 10x more than different popular expensive mousses

Not bad!

This stuff works really well! I totally should have used gloves like instructed instead of a washrag lol but it still worked pretty great so I approve. Not too harsh of results but enough that you definitely notice. I love how light is and how well it worked.

First tanning product that I've actually like

I put on rubber gloves to apply. It was easy and I had no streaks. I like that it's not a tanning lotion, but a clear watery product. I could only slightly smell that nasty smell most tanning products have and most of them make me smell horrible....I was very impressed by this products smell.

My new go to self tanner

I initially bought their drops. They are great too! But this tan water is just the next level. It's clear, so there's no guide to worry about rubbing off on anything or looking crazy while it develops. It develops nicely and I have never had issues with splotches. It just seems to blend better than mousse. It's so easy to use that I don't dread doing it and I have had a tan longer this summer than I ever have because of it. This will definitely be a repurchase! The smell is lovely! I'm not usually a fan of scent but this one got it right in terms of gentle and sweet. It also doesn't take on that offensive self tan smell. It's there, don't get me wrong, but it's more subtle.

I love the self

I love the self tan water spray. Gives me great color. Still trying to determine the benefits of using this instead of self tan lotion.

love!

I loved the way it went on and how easy it was. I didn't turn orange which I was afraid of and I didn't break out (and I have sensitive skin) I'll be adding this to my routine

New Favorite!

I've used many brands of mousse tanner, but I'm obsessed with this water! It goes on so evenly, I spray it on my body then blend with a mitt. I have no streaks or spots and it fades really well. I LOVE that there is no color guide to stain my sheets and clothes, I found it blends so well you don't even need the guide. It also smells amazing! I apply it once then let it dry, then go over one more time to get a darker color and get any spots I may have missed. Perfect dark bronze glow without the orange.

Love it!

I am PALE!!! Pasty, pasty white. For the most part I embrace the pale, except for my legs.. they are basically see through. I love this product because it's quick and easy to use. I love that it doesn't have a barrier that wipes off on everything. I started with the Light color, did two layers and left it on 4 hours. I could definitely tell the difference but with how pale I am, I thought it would be more obvious. I did two more layers the next day and definitely got a more noticeable, natural looking tan. I ended up buying the medium color for when I want quicker results. I put one layer on, and it was perfect. I'll probably use the light to maintain color in between using the medium. I definitely recommend this product. My tan looks natural and not streaky.

Love it!!!!

Ive purchased every color in this self tan water! The light is soo beautiful and nice for fall and winter it gives you a beautiful light tan! The medium is perfect!! The color is the best golden tan I've very had and it actually gives me this glow that enhances my own skin!! I get so many compliments when I wear it! It gives me the perfect golden tan! The dark is super super dark! It's a pretty brown golden tan! This is a clear formula and it has no color barrier but it's still SO easy to apply!! It gives flawless color and doesn't build up around the knees wrists feet or anything like that as long as you use it sparingly and put moisturizer in those areas! It doesn't smell bad! The color lasts for about a week! It's a really really great self tanning water!! The only thing I don't care for is the fact you spray it on it makes it a little messy and your floor will be super slippery so lay a towel underneath your feet! I just spray it on my skin and use a mit to rub it in! I usually do one coat and leave on overnight rinse off and apply another coating overnight and rinse off and this gives the perfect tan!

Possibly my favorite new self tanning product!

I've tried every self-tanning product under the sun, and this is one of my new favorites for sure! I bought it on a whim when I made a run to Ulta to restock on self tanners, and the gamble paid off! I love the smell! It almost reminds me of a men's cologne or something like that, and there is also no weird self-tanning smell. Since it is a spray it is important to use a mitt, but that's easy. I like that it is a clear spray, because that way it dries quickly, is easy to apply and doesn't stain my clothes. It's a good price, and I like to rotate it with a couple f my favorite self tanning lotions, which is what keeps me from getting spotty/streaky. I highly recommend using this in rotation with your favorite self-tanning lotion!
