Gradual without Streaks, Firmer Looking Skin

I like this gradual tanner very much. It does seems to take more applications than the product of a different brand I had been using for years each summer.The consistency is fairly thick, and smells tropical. I like to apply my tropical fragrances after the dry down of this lotion for a full island summer scent. I do not need an extreme amount to cover, especially using a mitt . I have not had issue with patchiness or streaks, just an even look of colour that borders on a light to medium tan…

Pros
  • Smells good and very realistic
Cons
  • It works nicely and easy to apply! I am not a fan of the smell however, smells very chemically

b.tan gradual tan lotion

I'm a sunless tanning addict. I just like to try different brands and see which turn me orange and which don't. When I find a brand I like (one that doesn't turn me orange) I need a good lotion to use since hydration is key to maintaining your tan. Thats where b.tan comes into play. I'm using this on days I don't use my sunless tanning mousse. It's adding a light shade, just enough to keep my other shade on track (because we all know how fake tans do a funky fade). And it has the added benefit…

Pros
  • This is great. I am always skeptical about these things, but I actually like this one!
Cons
  • The smell is not great and lasts unfortunately.

Didn’t notice any “tan” - great everyday lotion though

I used this everyday for a few weeks consistently and didn’t really notice a difference in the color of my skin. But it’s great for moisturizing and has a great smell. A lot of other reviews said they needed or wanted a glove to apply because it stained their hands I did not have that issue and always applied it with my bare hands. It is free from parabens, sulfates and phthalates which I really like as we try to be very cautious about bad stuff in our products. I don’t think I’ll be…

Pros
  • So glad I found this. Great tan, smell and moisturizer. Will put it on subscription as to not run out.
Cons
  • Gooey product. Did not see a different with the gradual tanner.

very good :) best in my review

i’ve used lots of gradual tan lotions and this one is the perfect natural tan shade. it doesn’t have any distinct scent but very nice to apply and great color :)

Pros
  • Achieve a natural-looking tan without harmful chemicals or sun damage
Cons
  • Not suitable for customers who are looking for an instant tan

Not my favorite good for me

The scent was a strong smell of fake tanner. The lotion was very runny. The only reason I gave 2stars is because it did work. Also the other items by this brand I love. This was a no for me.

Pros
  • no mucking around. no gimmicks. no added nasties. just skin lovin' caffeine, guarana + hyaluronic acid for plumped, tanned skin
Cons
  • Can stain palms and nails if not washed properly

Cannot see any glow.would not repurchase. Decent moisturizer.

Not a bad moisturizer. But It’s no different from any normal moisturizer. It doesn’t have a terribly strong smell but it doesn’t smell good to me, personally. And why is the spelling different? I don’t think I’d repurchase this. I love this brands self tanning mousse but this, not so much.

Pros
  • Love the gradual tan
Cons
  • This item was super watered down. Didn't come out like a lotion like it should, Very disappointed.

Not Much of a Tan for my opinion

I've been using this for several days and am not really noticing a tan. I wasn't expecting to get dark but was expecting the "hint" of color as it says but barely seeing that. I will say that I tried another brand of gradual tan moisturizer that also didn't work, so maybe the lotions just don't work on me. It does have a little sunless tanner smell but not too strong

Pros
  • A great choice for anyone looking for a safe, cruelty-free, and easy way to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking tan
Cons
  • May cause a yellowing effect on nails if not washed off properly

Like Liquid water! on my review.

Absolutely love Btan products especially their tan AF moose the best sunless Tanner I’ve ever used! But their natural glow is absolutely the worst I’ve ever gradual tanning lotion. How does product I’ve used. I had such high hopes but unfortunately, it was like liquid water that smelled like fake tanning solution.Really hope they create a better version for the gradual tanning lotion because I love their sunless tanning products

Pros
  • Promotes a healthy, youthful appearance
Cons
  • Can be difficult to apply evenly to areas such as the hands, feet, and elbows

It’s very diluted and watery.

Overall it seems to be okay, I like that I can even wear it on my face. It moisturizers great. I feel like it evened out and hydrated my already existing self tan.On the downside though, it was a bit shocking because when I opened it, the lotion came shooting out of the bottle like water. Just glad it didn’t stain my carpet and clothes. So I just try to open it slowly and put it on my mitt. Lol But yeah, everything was great. Just crappy consistency.

Pros
  • i'm your perfect match for those looking for deeper, darker gradual tan results + deeper skin lovin’
Cons
  • May cause discoloration on clothes and sheets

Don’t think this is correct product

Has a very thin, watery consistency, smells like the typical tanning smell that no one likes. Not what I expected from reviews and research. Not sure it is the correct product. Would not buy again.

Pros
  • Great for those who have trouble tanning in the sun due to sensitive skin or medical conditions
Cons
  • Can cause an uneven fade if not applied evenly

Not my favourite. for my opinion

I ordered the b.tan Gradual Self Tanner Lotion - Just Shut Up and Sun Kiss Me, Self Tanning Lotion Enriched with Marula & Argan Oil - Sunless Tanner Lotion & Body Bronzer Lotion For Fake Tan, Self Tan, 8 fl oz to use as a body lotion in between self tanning sessions to apply some moisture and even out my overall colour. I'm extremely pale, and I find that on my skin, this product doesn't produce much colour at all. (I prefer the b.tan Gradual Self Tanner Lotion - Plump Up The Bronze in the dark

Pros
  • This is the best self tanning product I've ever used. No streaks and it looks so natural.
Cons
  • Extremely watery

Comparable to Jergen’s Natural Glow…

I’ve been trying a lot of self tanners lately, mainly because my legs don’t seem to get as dark as the rest of my body in the sun. I’m wearing a lot of skirts this summer, and my poor legs are still white! I like gradual tanners because they don’t make your skin look orange or too dark too fast…. So I was really excited to try this brand. It’s comparable to Jergen’s Natural Glow gradual self tanning lotion; I feel like this one makes my skin a bit more natural looking. It has cooler tones to…

Pros
  • Affordable price point
Cons
  • May not be suitable for customers with fair or very dark skin tones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes, yes & more yes!

I've used this product now for 4 applications. I am extremely fair & was nervous it might be too much. But using just enough to "moisturize" your skin will give you the nicest color. Ive used it every other to every 2 days & I 10/10 recommend.

Pros
  • Non-comedogenic, won't clog pores
Cons
  • Can transfer onto clothes and furniture if not absorbed into the skin properly

Not able to use best in my review

Haven't been able to use product as it arrived with a pinhole in the sealed foil and lotion everywhere. Including in the cap.

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all skin types

Tan wasn't really apparent

I used this pretty much daily after every shower, but never really saw a difference between my natural skin tone and the "tanning" effect of this product. It seemed to moisturize well enough, but as I bought this for the tanning effect and didn't get it, I would not buy this product again.

Pros
  • Smell is great, doesn’t rub off on my clothes! Great for in between tanning and wonderful moisturizer!!
Cons
  • Super watery, so not a lot of actual product. Doesn’t work as well as the spray.

Counterfeit product!

Fake product! It was dark green and smelled terrible. I’ve used this product before from a Birchbox sample, thisone I received is not a B.Tan product.Must be counterfeit!

Pros
  • Self-Tanners
Cons
  • Can leave streaky or blotchy marks if not applied properly

Tanning Lotion good for me

This lotion tans very gradually and never looks orange-y or fake. If you are looking for something that will drastically tan your skin, this lotion is not the product to use. It smells great, non-greasy and moisturizes.

Pros
  • Good product! Noticed a difference after putting it on like twice
Cons
  • Product was too thin and didn’t have a nice smell. I have used before and liked it, this bottle was bad.

Shop Direct it’s cheaper the price went up

Literally one of the best self Tanners I have ever used and the fact that it’s a lotion that is streak FREE makes it even better it smells really good and it goes on very nice I wouldn’t say that it’s greasy I am a little pissed off that the price went up. lol So for that price I’ll just be ordering directly from the website

Pros
  • Can be used year-round to maintain a natural-looking tan
Cons
  • Can take a long time to dry, and can transfer onto clothing during this time

No color/change,smells like spray tan

No color. I have fair skin, used every day for 2 weeks. Barely a change. I usually use Loreal sublime glow, gonna stick with that

Pros
  • Love it! Not too greasy and doesn't darken facial hair.
Cons
  • Super thin formula. And it smells absolutely horrible.

Delivery always on time

When it's the original consistency, it is the best, have received 2 tubes that were too thin in the consistentcy, but overall it's a great product.

Pros
  • No unpleasant odor
Cons
  • Not recommended for use on the face
