VERY gradual
-05.13.13
Quick Take: gradual, hardly noticeable
After using this daily for over two weeks I have to say that the word "gradual" is putting it lightly (pun intended). I don't notice a difference in my skin tone at all. I didn't wash my hands after using this stuff as an experiment and it did nothing on my hands as well. Total bummer. I did give it a start for the moisturizer part. I feel like it's fine to use if that's the only benefit you'd want from it

Love it!!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: gradual, awesome
Love, love, love!!!!!! I don't understand the comments about not having any color. I put it on it the morning, and a couple of hours later I can already see a difference. I am so pale and this makes me look healthy and not tired like I normally do. I use it every 2 or three days. The fragrance is nice (not overpowering) and it feels light.

Love this product

Quick Take: gradual, long lasting, natural
I use this instead of tanning my face. I have had several compliments and friends have purchased it. I don't know if it helps anti-aging, but the tan isnice and gradual. It has a nice color to it and lasts.

Fab Product!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: gradual
I purchased this product two weeks ago and I have been using it at night after I wash my face. I can see a gradual difference in my tan. I live in AZ so I tend to wear lots of SPF and do not tan as much on my face so I wanted to give this product a try. I love the consistency of this product and I see a positive change in the moisture of my skin. I love that the tan looks fully natural - it's not orange at all. I would HIGHLY recommend!

greasy & smelly
-04.12.13
Quick Take: not worth trying
i was told that this self tanner wasn't greasy and didn't really have a smell as some of them do. WRONG. it was horrible. I returned it and bought Clarins instead. It was super greasy!

I mix St. Tropez Anti-Aging Multi-Action Face lotion w/ my everyday lotion, to ensure it's blended into my face evenly. It gives a perfect glow and color. I'll be buying this again.

Non existent color
-03.04.13
Quick Take: pointless
This is the worst self tanner I have ever tried and definitely a failure of the St. Tropez line. This isn't gradual, it's non existent. Unlike the Gradual Body Self tanner, this does NOT ever show any color. You will wash off (with face cleanser) any color it may produce. Disappointing, because I love EVERY other St. Tropez product. Totally returning this!!

What tan?
-02.15.13
I have applied this moisturizer several times and still cannot any sort of tan. I will continue to use it, but at this point would not purchase again as I bought it to put a little color to my face.

If you love St. Tropez products then this will be on exception. I would give it 5 stars but it doesn't last as long as I would like

So Much Better/More Natural Than Bronzer!!
-01.25.13
Quick Take: gradual, natural, no streaking, firming, no orange, no bad smell!
I seriously am in LOVE with St. Tropez products! I already tried their gradual tanner lotion with amazing, natural results. When I saw this I snatched it up!! I have porcelain fair skin, and this tanner makes a light-medium tan look so natural...it's build able, as well, use it two-three times a day for a bronzer look or just once for a little extra glow in winter (which I'm doing) It has a thicker texture, feels firming to my face, I just rubbed a quarter sized amount sparingly all over my face in firm, circular motions as recommended and extended a little past my jawline and on my neck. NO BREAKOUTS, NO STREAKING, ABSOLUTELY NO SMELL AND NO ORANGE. I'm telling you, there is NO WAY you can regret this! I like the antiaging as a side benefit, although it's a preventative for me since I'm 22. I have only had luck with this face tanner and am so excited they finally came out with one!!! The only thing you will regret is NOT trying it, I promise!

Actually Amazed
-01.16.13
Quick Take: gradual, quick
I bought this in store yesterday as it was suggested to me in the store since some bronzers make me too orange and I have naturally olive skin, but my face is fair. I used the product last night and woke up this morning, no difference. I used a bit more this morning and not even 15 minutes later noticed my face was the perfect color!
I'm not sure how long the color will last yet, but it gets 5 starts for working in not even a full day and not having any side affects like itching or a bad smell. It's wonderful but it may not be for everyone, so with that note if anyone buys this, use it at night before bed to see what reaction your face will have. :)
