Bondi SandsPURE Gradual Tanning Lotion | Hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid for a Glowing Tan, Fragrance Free, Cruelty Free, Vegan | 6.76 Oz/200 mL

This is my go-to gradual tanner. I love Bondi Sands products. You get color after 1st use and then you can build on that. It doesn't streak if applied well. Wash hands after applying. Slight smell but goes away quickly. I definitely recommend it.

I have sensitive skin and I loved how my skin looked and felt the next day after using this! It actually made some of my redness disappear! I find that the actual tan gave me a nice glow. I didn’t feel orange, I thought this developed nicely despite some of the dry patches on my skin. Overall I recommend this to anyone who is new to self tanner.

I am beyond pale- I’m talking Victorian Era sickly pale. I’ve never tried to self-tan before (or any kind of tan because I burn instantly in sunlight), so I did about thirty minutes of browsing on Amazon before finding this product. On top of being pale, my skin is extremely sensitive and will react if it doesn’t like what I put on it. I decided to try this product because I assumed that “gradual” meant it could be layered. It doesn’t mean that- it means that it gets darker with time! I looked a bit orange on days 2-4, but the product lasted a little over a week and looked natural for the most part! For having no self-tan experience and lathering myself carelessly with the lotion- it wasn’t as streaky as it could’ve been! My neck and underarms were a bit streaky, but I’m sure that was just a user error. The lotion goes on clear so it’s a bit hard to see where it is and doesn’t develop for a day or two. This product didn’t break me out and didn’t make me bright orange, so it did it’s job! Everyone said I looked sunkissed! It wasn’t that moisturizing, but I didn’t buy the product for that reason. The scent was good initially, but after marinating in it for a while wasn’t the best. Still, it’s not overbearing!

I have tried others with no success. I have no odds colors streaks or blotches. Great product and pleasant scent dries quickly and no staining on towel or clothes.

I am light to medium skin tone with a peachy undertone so do not tan easily. While my arms, chest and face can sometimes hold a light tan my blindingly white legs seem to reflect light right back at the sun and never seem to tan.Most faux tanners seem to have a goal of a dark golden tan to dark for me or gradual tanners are so gradual I wonder if they are doing anything. After one day using this gradual tanner I can see color in my legs! I could see how continued daily use would produce a darker tan if desired. The lotion is white and goes on clear so you have to make sure you really blend it in. I do have one spot on the back of my calf that has a darker smudge where I did not blend it in well.While it is not 100% scentless as I can smell that faux tanner smell most of us are familiar with its not as offensive as some I have tried. It does not bother me when hanging out around the house and not enough that it would bother me to go run errands with it on but I would definitely wash the scent away before going out with fiends or on a date.Update: it’s day three and I applied it the last two days (not today) I am not as impressed as I first thought I was. Yes it gave me some color without being to dark but it’s blotchy I want a self tanner I can put on and forget about. This one I feel like I need to go back to do touch ups in areas of my legs and that’s disappointing. I think I will be returning and trying something else

I really liked this product. My skin felt hydrated and the color was nice, and there was no stinky smell or coming off on my clothes or sheets.

Love this self tanner! The colors the most natural of all of the tanners that I have tried. It is virtually odorless and dries quickly.

I was a big fan of the Neutrogena gradual tanner, but it’s now discontinued, and before that the Nivea self tanner, also disappeared and likely discontinued. I don’t like the ones that say they’re “firming” lotions. Thought I’d try this as it’s generally thought of as a good brand and advertised as a gradual, buildable self tan. This time of year when I’ve had my legs in jeans for most of the winter, I like to add a small amount of color, not DARK, so my first times out in shorts aren’t with screaming white legs.I applied this product after a morning shower and waited all day for some color to appear. I went to bed that night thinking the same as other reviewers: no or very little color. Waking up the next morning, I noticed a little more color but still fairly light. It would seem that this stuff needs 24 hours for the color to develop but it’s not enough color for me.It does go on smooth and doesn’t have the obnoxious tanner smell.I wouldn’t buy again and the hunt goes on for something better.
