Tan Optimizer – Sugar-Free Tanning Pills with 25,000 IU Vitamin A, Beta Carotene & Antioxidants for Skin Health & Immune Support – 30 Capsules

Before ordering these vitamins I read mixed reviews here on Amazon. I tan both outdoors and in tanning salons pretty regularly so I was looking for something to help maintain my tan and give it a little more longevity. The price was great on these vitamins so I decided out couldn't hurt to try them. I went tanning at a salon three or four days after starting the vitamins. There was no difference in the quality of my tan, and I wasn't expecting any after only a couple of days. But as the week went on, I expected my tan to fade as it usually does, but it actually appeared to be deepening in color! I couldn't believe my eyes. But it is hard to judge your own color. I didn't believe it had made any difference until my husband and a friend commented on how nice my tan looked. Even the girl at the tanning salon commented on the quality of my tan.I don't care what the other reviews say, these vitamins work! Now, to be completely candid, I don't think they are going to give you a tan if you're fair-skinned and haven't been in the sun in a year. I think that's an unreasonable expectation. But if you tan regularly and are looking for something to improve the quality of your existing tan, these worked for me.For reference, I'm naturally a light olive-skinned color. I usually turn a golden brown as opposed to that deep almost purplish brown that tanning salon junkies always seem to achieve. The vitamins really helped me achieve a deeper golden brown that looks very natural. Now that's my experience with them. That's not to day they'll work the same for someone who is naturally fair skinned or dark skinned. But at this price point, they're absolutely worth a try!

I was so excited to start using this because of most reviews and have been disappointed. No change whatsoever ever and I haven’t missed a dose. Very unhappy!

Would you want that quick fake tan? This is what you go for. Went to the beach put it on before she got there made her look bronze couldn’t beat it.

I gave it 3 stars because I've experienced no negative effects from taking it, but I couldn't tell if it did anything at all as far as the optimizing/extending a tan claims go, be it with the self-tanning sunless product I use or with the mild exposure to the sun I do get. I'll save the rest of the bottle to take on an upcoming trip to Jamaica to hopefully get some of the protective benefits from exposure to sun, but I don't think I'll be ordering it again.

Second time buying. SlowBut works

I think this really worked! It doesn't look look a typical tan.....not like I spent time in the sun. It's more like a healthy looking glow. It's hard to explain. I don't look like I tanned. It's more of a nice even healthy look. Not pale white but more over a healthy look.

Junk. Doesn’t work

Based on the studies that show color change, and me taking 2 a day for 14 days, I should have seen a skin hue or tint change. Nothing. These aren't quality or potent enough.
