Bondi Sands Skin Firming Gradual Tanning Lotion

As a complete self-tanning newbie, this product was great. It took me probably about 2 weeks and a full bottle to get to the tan I was looking for, but it is really forgiving. I used a mitt and put it on every time after a shower. The smell is strong and of cocoa, but it is pleasant. It dries quickly so I didn’t have to wait to get dressed after. The tan color itself is really lovely, not orangey. I recommend this for beginners and people who have time and patience to wait for the tan!

The smell is pleasant my husband says it reminds him of coco. Leaves a a noticeable but subtle tint that will last a few days. Comes off seamlessly

Glad I got this during Prime Days because had I paid full price - what a waste of money! I used it for about a week, mostly on my stomach and lower back because the rest of me is tan from being in the sun with a one piece swim suit on. But I wanted to have some color on my torso as well. This stuff didn't do anything. And it smells so weird. What is that smell? Chocolate? It's subtle but it stinks. In the trash it will go with so many other horrible self tanners.

Incredible self tanner - exceeded my expectations. The gradual tan can be as quick or as slow as you’d like - it all depends on how you apply it. I had had a mishap on half my body during a spray tan and I had 2 days before an event to even myself out. I successfully did so by applying this bondi cream 3 times per day for 2 days - I had the most gorgeous cohesive tan. I didn’t think I could get there so quickly but it worked. Since then I’ve been using this much more sporadically for a much slower, gradual effect - still gorgeous, so easy, and it’s very forgiving with a low risk of staining.

When people say gradual, this is GRADUAL. As a very pale person, this was exactly what I was looking for, but I can see why those with even medium skin tones would not notice any difference. Scent is very sweet, and I didn't notice any transfer to sheets/clothing/towels. I'm only removing a star for price value, because I've about used this entire bottle up with 2 weeks of applying every other day.

I absolutely love this product and I have bought it more than once. Gives me the best gradual tan and no streaks. Perfect if you just want a little sun-kissed glow!

This is the best tanning lotion I have ever tried. It is so hard for my legs to get color and this worked! No streaks, no rubbing on close, and truly natural looking. The tan stays even after showering..this is NOT a surface cream with orange tint. It’s November and I still have a little color on my legs. Try it! You won’t be disappointed!

I do really like the effectiveness of this I just am soooo picky about smells. I need my lotions and products to smell good and this one does not at all. It does work super well so if you’re not worried about smell I would definitely recommend!

Love Bondi sands gradual tan , smells Devine , gives a subtle glow instantly , ideal for bare legs at short notice !

Really easy and no streaks goes on smooth very happy will order more thankyou

Does not gradually tan at all

I prefer Bondi sands lotion instead of this. This is very light but drys quickly and doesn’t stain. Not really any scent either but there are better options out there .

After reading some of the reviews on this product I thought I would buy it. On 2 applications I've got the desired tan I want not to dark. Very easy to use and dries very quickly no streaks. Need a larger tube but il definitely will be ordering another one.
