“I've thrown out more self-tanners than I can count. This is the one that finally stays.”Karen M. — Verified Buyer, Clear Self Tanning Gel
What 22,000+ women are saying
Every review below is from a verified purchase. We publish the five-star raves and the four-star nitpicks alike.
Not orange. Actually not orange.
I'm 54 and I've been burned (literally, tonally) by every mousse since the 90s. I did a patch test on my forearm fully expecting carrot. It came out like a golden brown week-in-the-sun color. I stood in my bathroom genuinely confused.
My knees and ankles finally match the rest of me
Every other tanner grabs onto my knees and elbows and turns them three shades darker. The gel glides over them like a moisturizer. First time I've worn a skirt without checking my knees in every reflective surface.
Zero biscuit smell
You know the smell. That warm, yeasty self-tanner smell that announces itself in the school pickup line. This has none of it. My husband didn't even know I'd applied anything until he saw the color the next morning.
Cancelled my spray tan subscription
I was paying $65 every two weeks at the salon, plus the awkward paper thong situation. One bottle of this lasts me over a month and honestly the color is more natural. Did the math, never going back.
The day-3 test — passed
Day three is where every self-tanner betrays you. Patchy shins, leopard-print chest. I'm on day five with this and it's just softly fading everywhere at once, like a real tan does. That alone is worth the price.
White sheets survived
Because the gel is clear, there's no bronzer to rub off. I applied at 9pm, slept in my good white sheets out of pure defiance, and woke up to clean sheets and tan legs. Witchcraft.
Great color, wish the bottle were bigger
Docking one star only because I love it enough that I'm going through it fast — full body twice a week adds up. The color itself is the most natural I've had from a bottle. Take my money for a jumbo size.
Works on 57-year-old skin
Mature skin is a different beast — dry patches, sun spots, crepey bits that grab color. This evened everything out instead of highlighting it. My sun spots are less visible, not more. I've bought three bottles: me, my sister, my best friend.
My hands don't rat me out anymore
Hands are the tell. Orange palms, dark knuckles — dead giveaway. I use what's left on the mitt for my hands, wipe my palms, done. They match my arms for the first time ever.
Bought it skeptical, staying for good
My drawer is a graveyard of half-used self-tanners. This one lives on the counter now. That's the review.
Compliments from strangers
A woman at the grocery store asked where I'd been on holiday. It was a Tuesday. I'd been to the garden center.
The mist got me started, the gel keeps me
Started with the Lazy Tan mist for my face and shoulders, added the gel for full body. They layer beautifully and the color matches perfectly.
Go slow your first time
One coat is subtle, two is beach vacation. I went straight to two and it was a touch dark for my coloring — my fault, not the gel's. One coat is my sweet spot now. Color quality itself is excellent.
Fair skin, redhead, still natural
Redheads basically aren't allowed to tan. This gave me a believable golden color instead of the Oompa Loompa situation every other brand gave me. My skin tone, just warmer.
Ten minutes, no gloves, no panic
I did my whole body during one episode of my show. No staining my palms, no rushing to wash my hands mid-application. It's the first tanner that doesn't feel like a science experiment.
