Tanologist Insta Glow Body Bronzer, Instant Illuminating Self-Tan, Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C, Streak-Free, Radiant Finish For All Skin Tones, 5.75 fl oz/170 ml Tube

I’ve tried several different brands, but this has been my favorite. I got the medium and it works really well with my skin tone. It doesn’t give off any orange vibes! Perfect for fall/winter months when my natural tan has faded! I shave, exfoliate, and use every 5 days or so. I prefer doing it in the morning, wearing loose clothing and then showering before bed for the best IMO results! I recommend this to all of my friends

This is my favorite instant bronzer. It doesn’t transfer & it smells amazing. Now I will say, it does dry fairly quickly. So you have to work fast. If you’re new to it, I would start off in small sections at a time. I would also recommend using any generic “tanning brush” that you can find on amazon (I included my own picture). That way you can apply it evenly and in sweeping motions like it’s meant to be applied. This doesn’t come off until you get in the shower & remove it. This is the best product that is on the cheaper more affordable side if you’re looking for a quick tan that won’t fade or streak. Especially if you’re scared of using an actual self tanner. I added before & after pictures. I cropped out my toes for obvious reasons lol

I like the color but the smell is off-putting for me. I’ve purchased this before and it was in a white tube. There was no smell at all. Now they’ve changed the formula and it’s scented. Fruity, but very weak? It’s not good. I’ve tried using a scented lotion with it to try and cover up the smell but it didn’t help. I’ve tried using a whole body deodorant spray to try and cover the smell and that didn’t help either. It just smells terrible to me. Zero stars for the scent. But I do love the color especially to blend in when my self tanner is starting to fade. Don’t apply too heavily or it looks strange. You need to blend it in quickly. Using small amount of lotion will make it easier to blend the product but then I feel like it transfers to clothing more readily. It is easier to use gloves to apply. It can be difficult to remove from the palms of your hands when you have applied the product to arms, legs and décolleté. I have to use a nail scrub brush to get it off. I usually apply it then buff my skin with a towel(after it’s dried) and I don’t notice as much transfer(very minimal) onto clothing. Any water or sweat will cause spots or streaks. Maybe have a dry washcloth/paper towel handy if you think you’re going to encounter any water so you can buff over your skin quickly to blend in any streaks.

This is more of a make-up type bronzer than a self-tanning bronzer, which is what I expected. For an instant tan where you don't have hours to wait for the color to show up, this works well. I would compare it to Westmore Beauty Body Protector in that sense. You need to put it on quickly bc it dries super fast - even faster than the Westmore - and becomes impossible to unstreak at that point. I use disposable latex gloves rather than a brush to apply - bc this will also stain your hands unless you wash them vigorously in soapy hot water for 5 min afterwards. Like the Westmore and makeup/foundation, my biggest gripe is that this product sits on top of your skin vs being absorbed - and thus it prevents your skin from being able to breathe - so in my case that means sweating when I might otherwise not do so, which is icky because you can practically feel the product coming off on whatever you're wearing (my sheets at night!!!). My other gripe is that it doesn't last as long - it comes off in the first shower (the Westmore lasts at least 2-3 showers). Can't speak to longevity in a pool or the ocean but I don't see this lasting beyond a 10 min swim. The color it provides is decent - much deeper and more realistic than the Westmore. And the smell is fine - it's not that nasty self-tanning smell so yay. Bottom line, I'll use when I need color on my legs and have no time to wait as long as I won't be swimming and can wear dark colors so I don't streak my clothes when I sweat. It's cheaper and IMO looks better than Westmore (but then I don't need the "uniform coverage" that Westmore provides...just the color). But I will go back to Fake n Bake when I want a tan that will last longer.

This bronzer is like liquid courage for my skin. One minute I’m Casper’s distant cousin, and the next I look like I just got back from a luxurious beach vacation where someone else paid the bill. Tanologist Insta Glow gives instant results—like, “who is she?” levels of transformation—without the awkward orange undertones or streaky regrets. It blends in like a dream, dries quickly (bless), and doesn’t smell like I rolled around in a bucket of regret and coconuts. The finish? Glowy, not glittery. More “healthy goddess” than “disco ball under pressure.” And I appreciate that it’s non-committal—washes off when I’m done pretending I own a yacht. Bonus points for the hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. I didn’t expect skincare-level ingredients in a bronzer, but here we are, moisturizing and bronzing like overachievers. If you want people to ask if you just got back from somewhere expensive, this tube’s your new best friend. I plan on using it all year long—especially during “why is my skin this color in February” season.

The color of this tanning cream is gorgeous! I tend to have some dark spots on my legs and it does not accentuate those at all. It’s not waterproof so use with caution if you’re expecting that. It does come off if you get into a pool.

If I could give this product a zero I would. Not only did Amazon ship it used but the product itself is terrible. Does not go on even and it leaves streaks. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. Amazon should also be more careful to not send used products to their customers.

super thick and hard to blend. definitely need a mitt or gloves to apply. thought this was a gradual tanner but it washed off immediately in the shower. so the amount of effort I put in to cover my whole body and blend was a waste

Prodotto utile per uniformare un abbronzatura già presente,o ottimo aiuto per aggiungere un mezzo tono di colore su una pelle che si abbronza poco o per niente.bello l’effetto sul décolleté se si vuole indossare un abito o un poco di scollatura,idem per le gambe.non fa effetto coprente,quindi in presenza di inestetismi vari,non è il prodotto giusto.si toglie con una doccia,sconsigliato indossare il bianco dopo l’applicazione perché inevitabilmente qualcosina sporca.

Yes yes yes Used when going out on holiday Great colour and coverage did not wipe off

Je viens de le recevoir et dans l’excitation je l’ai essayé tout de suite: Cette crème est juste incroyable ???! Appliquée avec le brush Tanologist, la couleur s’étire et se fond avec la peau de manière bluffante! ET QUEL HÂLE!!! Je n’ai jamais été aussi bronzé de ma vie! C’est plus foncé et naturel que n’importe quel autobronzant que j’ai pu testé jusqu’à maintenant! Je sais que ce ne sont pas les mêmes produits mais savoir que je peux obtenir un tel bronzage en quelques secondes sans avoir à passer par les mousses autobronzantes c’est révolutionnaire pour moi! Mais attendez parce que c’est pas tout! Je n’ai noté aucun transfert!! Une ou deux minutes après avoir bien étiré et fait pénétré le produit j’ai frotté un mouchoir blanc sur ma peau et RIEN! En comparaison (j’étais en pleine expérience) le Concentré Bronzant de Typology, étalé avec le même brush, a continué de transférer 10min après son application! Pour ne rien gâcher il faut peu de produit pour couvrir une bonne zone et la crème sent divinement bon!! Contrairement à d’autres commentaires je n’ai pas trouvé que le produit séchait particulièrement vite, et je n’ai eu aucune difficulté à l’application. Encore une fois ça dépends peut être de l’outils utilisé ! C’est définitivement l’un de mes produits favoris de l’année!!

Barely works Used with a tanning glove and it was really spotty It also comes off in water so not good for swimming or the beach Very orange Does not look like that. It came in a white bottle

Fantastico! Me encanta este producto! el color es muy natural y es muy facil de aplicar sin rayas.
