LOreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I have tried many self tanners, this one is awesome . Be smart use it after a shower add some lotion to elbows and knees to avoid the color grabbing in rough areas. I didn't do that in the first app. And had no problems but got worried it would start lyin in cracks etc. the only prob is the smell don't get me wrong it's way better than any other but I agree it has that mens colone smell for awhile(I don't see why they picked the fragrance) I realize with self tanner there prob. Isn't many options loreal could come up with to hide that horriable smell . I will buy this again it tans a nice color I have olive med skin so it's good for me I hate pale winter skin. It's worth a try!!!

I have used L'Oreal's Sublime Bronze Gel for a couple of summers and found it really good, it covered well with very little streaking so on going to buy a new tube I was a little concerned when I noticed it had been re-branded i.e. the packaging had been changed as I have come across this with other products when it hasn't only been the packaging that has changed but the 'revamped' item has also been altered. I should have trusted my instincts, on applying the gel I noticed I couldn't spread the gel out as well as previously and when looking at it the next morning it was horrendous! I had very obviously missed sections and it was so noticeable and long lasting I had to wear trousers for nearly 2 weeks to cover my legs as I was so embarrassed! Like I said, I use fake tan all the time and this has never happened before so it isn't like I didn't apply it properly. WHY DO MANUACTURERS HAVE TO CHANGE THINGS THAT DON'T NEED CHANGING?

I have never written a review on anything before but people need To be warned off products like these!!!The worst product I have ever used. I have a wedding tomorrow, am a ridiculous colour and covered in streaks. DO NOT BUY!!!

Bought this tan and was very disappointed. it was very greasy when applying. The result well lets just say I was like an oompa loompa!! Furthermore it takes ages to come off. Please stay away not worth your money.

The good part is The product is lightweight and easy to apply. It works quickly, within an hour I saw deepening. My face was streak free. However the rest of my body wasn't, in particular, my legs were streaked. I used the medium natural tan, which was probably too intense for my fair skin.

As a very fair skinned woman with skin cancer running in the family, I am always struggling to find ways to get a tan without having to use tanning beds or spend extreme amounts of time in the sun. I bought this at walmart the first time because it was on sale and have loved it since. It lasts you forever! I washed normally and then applied it right after my shower, and a few hours later (not an hour as the bottle says, it was more like 3 or 4), I had a nice summer glow without any steaks. Seriously, it's better than a spray tan. I hate self tanners because they always have that terrible smell that stays the whole day, but this one barely smells like anything, maybe a hint of mens cologne. I just spray a little on my legs and arms every day or two, and i have a nice glow all year round that isn't orange.

I have tried so many really expensive self tanners (such as Clarins) but this one is really worth its price.

Those who experience orange colour: it is VERY IMPORTANT to apply the gel on a fully exfoliated skin (if you don't have facial scrub then put some water in your palm and use fine sugar or sea salt, does the job perfectly) and apply it in VERY THIN layers very carefully, not to miss the area between the hair and the skin and EVEN it all over the face, neck, behind the ears etc.

If you apply TOO MUCH product you will look orange!

My secret is to apply it once, then wait for a day or two and then scrub my body again and re-apply.

If you are sensible and follow the instructions (exfoliate!!!!) then you will love this gel.

Yes, smells awful, but all the fake tans do and this is a safe way of looking healthy sunkissed.

i bought this applied and soon my body was all streaked i look like a f cow!! liars!

This stuff is the stuff for me!

I've tried a zillion fake tans (Garnier, Tan in a Can, Fast Tan, Nivea gradual ...), and this trumps em all. Its a tad more expensive than other supermarket ones, but totally worth it.

- no streaks

- lasting colour

- looks completely natural

It does stink, but I'm yet to find a tanner that doesn't. It also comes out of the bottle uber fast, and an all over body layer uses up like a fifth of the bottle.

BUT IT LOOKS AWESOME.

Don't use it ever. This product is a nightmare. I'm in a terrible stake now.
