At the modest price it sells for (around £5-£6) I wasn't expecting a brilliant self tan but I now actually use this one the most of all my self tanning products! It works so well with a application mitt and applies smoothly, if you rub it in well enough you do not get any streaks or patches, its even quite forgiving if you do it quickly and messy if you're in a rush. I leave it on overnight and wash off the next day and the color is excellent! Its not too orange or fake looking but rather natural and a light-medium tan shade, on someone so fair i am so pleased to have found a reliable tanning mousse that is no hassle at all! 5*

This express tan is great value. It has a nice olive/green undertone so it isn't orange in colour which looks more natural. When you wash the guide colour tan off after the allotted time, it almost looks like you haven't got a tan at all... However give it 6-12 hours and you are glowing! Its beautiful and personally I like it that I can wash it off and it keeps developing but I don't need the tan physically on my skin for it to do so!! Its so cheap, not sticky at all which is great and more expensive tans I own are stickier!! You must keep moisturising when wearing the tan so it fades nicely.

I love this. It's so easy to apply and dries fast. I do sleep in it as I found I looked the same shade after an hour. You will get better results if you apply, sleep and wash it off the next morning. The tan lasts a long enough time and doesn't go as patchy when it's wearing off. I apply with a mitt.

this tan doesn't go streaky and also smells really nice (not biscuity!) the only thing is is that i put it on before bed and woke up to not much colour difference. it adds some tan just not as dark as id like. when i bought i wasn't given a colour option

I am in my mid 20's with combination, tanned tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, normal with normal texture.
Love the finish and colour of this tan! There is 2/3 colour selections which is the normal light, medium and dark. I picked up dark and I was super impressed! Although, it is pricey compared to my other go-to tan St. Moriz! But still a great product that I would buy again!

I am in my mid 20's with sensitive, medium tone skin and green eyes. My hair is black, oily with normal texture.
A lovely colour can be achieved with this product in very little time. Sometimes I will leave it on overnight for a much deeper tan. The scent is subtle and the colour guide makes it easy to apply. Ideal for a tanning novice.

Have bought so many times. Can achieve a natural looking tan if left on for 1-3 hours, or I sometimes leave longer for deeper tan. Smell is not too strong and easy application with a mitt as its a tinted moose. Can tan quite a few times as lots on bottle- and really cheap, often on sale in superdrug!!

Always repurchase and don't really use anything else. I always make sure i have exfoliated before use as it can collect in areas were there is dead/dry skin. It goes a lovely cover however the bottles can be a bit hit and miss i.e. some seem to come out a dark mousse and give a nice tan and other seem to contain hardly any tan
