My absolute FAVORITE!
I've been using Liquid Bronze for a few years now and I adore it. I have light olive skin with yellow undertones and this gives my face a warm, natural tan.

I do have to apply it twice to get the desired depth as it is a fairly light shade, but it's worth it. I can put makeup on within a few minutes of application. The lotion dries fast and doesn't break out my early 30's, yet acne prone skin.

The color looks quite natural on me as I have 'italian skin' and my body tans if a lightbulb is too bright (well, practically!), but I wear sunscreen on my face. I can have my face match the rest of my body with this. When I go on holiday and acquire a deeper tan, I switch to Clarins Intense Bronze which is a liquid formula.

Works for me
I have to disagree with the first two reviewers. I am on my third bottle of this stuff and I think it's great. I am fair skinned and the "tan" I get from this product looks completely natural. People always ask if I was away on vacation when I use it and are stunned when I tell them that my tan came out of a bottle. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I think it's a little pricey.

Natural color that you can control
I go back and forth between this formula and its newer, more intense version Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint. This formula is a light lotion that absorbs well, and since I'm oily I use it in place of my regular moisturizer occasionally. I usually need to reapply to achieve a good depth of color, as it is very light with the first application. This is actually a good mechanism, since it allows you to control how much color you get. I disagree with the reviewer who said that it makes you look orange. Clarins self tanners are my favorite for a really believable tan. This formula has a little more fragrance to it than the intense version, but its pleasant so I dont mind it. For those worried about trying a face self-tanner, relax! This will make you look glowey with no UV damage.

A lovely soft glow
As the title to my review would indicate, this product gives your skin a nice glow to save you from a too-pale appearance. I am extremely fair with blonde hair and blue eyes, so self-tanners that are too dark just end up looking orange on me. This is a white lotion (no color guide) that is extremely moisturizing and feels good going on. It absorbs into the skin well and dries fairly quickly (about 7 minutes for me). I use it at night and in the morning I have this beautiful golden sheen -- it just makes me look healthy, not like I've been to the beach. If you want darker color, you can keep applying.

I subtracted a star for the typical Clarins fragrance, which is strongly floral. This perfumey scent tends to give me a headache, but some people might like it. Otherwise, this is a perfect gradual self-tanner for pale gals like myself. If you have darker skin this product might not be necessary for you, as you already have that nice color, lucky girl! :-)

One of my can't live without items
This is one of the very few products I consider to be a can't live without product. I use it only on those mornings I wake up with puffy eyes. It takes away the puffiness in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. Not a moisturizer, not for reducing wrinkles, it really does get rid of puffiness and fast.

so-so product
I really like Clarins products but this one was nothing exceptional. would not spend the money on it again.

best moisturizer for extremely dry skin
a friend suggested this moisturizer after i complained again and again about my terribly dry skin. i had never paid this much for moisturizer before, but my skin appeared to be peeling (like from a sunburn), especially in the winter. i use this on my face, as well as my arms, and one bottle lasts about a year. it doesn't take much of this great stuff to moisturize extremely dry skin. if you just have a slight dryness problem, this product probably isn't for you.

Not enough or too much?
I have dry skin and this product was recommended but I found if I used it lightly it did not moisturize enough and if I put more on it left me feeling too greasy.

Quick and Even
While SPF 6 is too low for my face and chest I'm glad Clarins still makes a self tanner with a relatively low SPF and hasn't fallen in with the rest of the crowd that would have you totally blocked. For me, this is perfect for my arms and legs and even my stomach which for some reason doesn't burn easily. Clarins Tanning Milk does have a milky texture. It goes on easily and it stays on as long as you don't go in the water. Even though it's light it seems to have moisturizers in it because my skin retains a healthy bronze glow and isn't the least bit dry. You may say a bronze glow isn't healthy and be right but I still like to get my body sunkissed and this allows me to do that while spending less time in the sun. For my skin the combination of a moderate SPF and a self tanner gives me the tan I want but I must stress it's not enough for the face and chest. I only wish Clarins would bring back their self-tanner SPF 15 without the streaky tint for the face. Then I'd have the perfect combo.

Awesome Face Self-Tanner
This is the bomb! I bought this a few years ago and I still use it. It goes on easy, its almost impossible to make a mistake because it darkens your skin very lightly but even for the first application, it gives one a pretty glow to your face. It has a light scent and it is easy to apply with the pump. You cannot use too much by accident, or spill it, etc. It has a great consistency like its name - cream gel. It smooths nicely over my face and neck. I highly, highly recommend this except for someone with very oily skin. This also moisturizes your skin too. Its a little pricey but I've been turned orange one too many times by other self-tanners and this will not do that. When this runs out I will definitely buy it again.

Ladies, this is it -- if you are pale
I am very fair, and in the winter I can look ghostly. I have tried various self-tanners and moisturizers + self-tanners and none gave me the same results as Clarins. This product delivers a beautiful warming of the skin, a sort of "radiance" just as the name promises, but the effect is very subtle. Also, I have sensitive skin and this cream did not cause me to break out. So, given that it works, why did I give four instead of five stars?

One: there is no color guide. That is, this cream (it is not a gel) is white, so you will not be sure if you have deposited too much of the self-tanner in one place. However, because the color that develops is not dark, any mistakes are easily covered up.

Two: the smell. It starts as a flowery sort of fragrance, but that fades into the usual "nutty" smell of self-tanners fairly quickly. It's not terribly strong, but it bears mentioning.

Three: The cost. I think this is silly-expensive, and I am the sort of person who is willing to shell out quite a lot of cash on beauty products. Fortunately, a little goes a long way.

So, despite the drawbacks, I will probably re-purchase and continue to use Clarins Radiance-Plus due to the gorgeous color it imparts and because it makes me look healthy and "glowy," even in February!

p.s. Read the two earlier reviews carefully; given the similarities, do you think these were written by the same person? Someone from Clarins, perhaps? Or did "Carol" copy phrases from "Cheryl"? Weird . . .

Best Self Tanner for Face, Neck, and Decollete
Long time user of self-tanners (19+ years) and have experimented with lots of self-tanners formulated for the face. I have come across a few that I liked but because they clogged my pores, settled into blemishes on my faces or simply did not have staying power on my face I continued to experiment.

Which brought me to Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning. And my search ends here with this product. Pros: The scent of this product is so light you don't even really smell it, the color is gorgeous once applied and becomes deeper over a period a few short hours. Because the formula is very watery (don't even let this fool you about how the color will look) it dries on your skin in about 4-5 minutes. No stickiness.

Once the color dries it leaves my skin looking evenly tanned, like I had been laying on the beach in the Cayman Islands and my skin is dark golden. The best part is that when you apply additional layers of this sunless tanner your skin not only gets a deeper brown but it 'glows'.

The only CON I would like to mention is that you really really must take care to keep your hands/fingers washed after applying this. To altogether avoid this step I simply wear disposable vinyl gloves (I buy mine from Home Depot in the paint section. A box of 100 for $7.) In addition I apply the Self Tanner to a Cotton Square ( Cotton Balls are too fibery for me) and apply an even coat over my face, neck and decollete.

And I agree with the other reviewer about the price. It's a little high but you don't really need much on your skin and it would probably last you about a good year and a half before you had to buy more.

Excellent, but not for the faint of heart!
If you're looking for a mistake-proof, quick drying self tanner that doesn't stink, this is it! BUT this is DARK! Even the fairest of complexions will look like they've spent 10 days on a tropical beach.

Good Points:

Not orange or yellow. (Great for us light olive skin gals or those of us with yellow undertones!!!) It's a rich, deep 'bronze' tan that will develop.

Bad Points:

Price. BUT for the tiny amount that is used for each application, one bottle should last 2-3 summers!

Bronze Goddess
I've tried all of the department store self tanners and a few of the mass market ones, and I've always wanted to find one that is a deep, but believable color. Other "deep" color formulas have always made me look orange, despite the fact that I have a golden color to my skin already. This formula hit the bull's eye. It gives you a gorgeous bronze color like you've been in the Bahamas for 2 weeks, but has no icky smell. The watery formula is a bit more challenging to work with than a traditional lotion, but other than that its a dream! I used a cotton ball, but that absorbed a lot of product, so I'll be switching to the Shiseido cotton squares. I love this so much I want to put it all over my body. I recommend putting it on before bed so you can wash off the tint in the morning after the color has developed, so it looks a little more natural. Another feature that I love about this formula is that it contains both DHA and erythrulose, so you get the golden color of DHA, but also the believable and longer wear of erythrulose.

Great value - excellent exfoliator!
I have used many facial skin products over the years and I have to say that this one compares with the very best and most expensive. I highly recommend it.

Great cleanser!
I bought this cleanser when I was pregnant as the Doux Nettoyant Moussant wasn't jiving with my hormonal skin. It worked great! I still use the Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser when my skin seems immune to the Nettoyant Moussant - especially during seasonal changes and in the winter. This cleanser is quick and kind. It helps maintain a healthy Clarins look during all of life's changes. Use sparingly - a little goes a long way.

Best Self Tanner
I have had skin cancer removed twice, so I have no choice but to use a self tanner. I thought I would like the spray kind, but Clarins Delicious Self-Tanning Cream has turned out to be the best so far. I love that it does not smell after application. Definitely read the directions and apply on ex-foliated, completely dry skin. It can be darker around the ankles, elbows, knees and lighter skin areas (inside of the forearm). I would suggest putting a lotion on those areas first so that not too much of the Clarins is absorbed.

Smells heavenly.
This is the best. It's like a tub of rich pudding and it's a joy to put on. Not at all greasy so it's great for face or body and very natural looking. Highly recommended. Doesn't have that "self-tanner" smell.

I love this stuff!
I had read a lot of good reviews on this stuff and thought I would give it a try. I don't want to go to a tanning salon anymore so I have been looking for a product that doesn't turn me orange. This stuff gives my skin a really nice healthy looking honey glow. I luv it!

holy mother of all spf's!
Some might think that any spf higher than 15 would be goopy, stiff, and leave a white film on your skin. Not so with this product. It is actually very runny, not clumpy and muddy. It is white in color and has a subtle, pleasant scent (a breezy smell, if you will, with just a hint of that "spf" smell). It is very moisturizing, somewhat mattifying, and works well with makeup. It is better to apply with quick patting motions of the finger tips, rather than rubbing, as the product may cake up on itself. Take extra care to give it a minute to soak in, and check for tell-tale white streaks. The only reason this product will look "milky" on your skin is because it was not applied evenly (so it's YOUR fault!!) in that case, just pat pat pat a little more to solve the problem.

Best Face Sunscreen
My son and I have ultra-sensitive skin (I've had skin cancer on my face twice), and this is the the best sunscreen for the face I've ever tried. I do not break out from it, as long as I wash it off in the evening. As far as how it feels, as I said, I have sensitive skin, so I can feel it a little. I prefer nothing at all on my face - even makeup bothers me. But compared to all the other sunscreens I have tried, this feels the lightest. When I have to go out in the sun, this is my #1 choice.

I also use it on my son, who takes photosensitive medication for a chronic illness. Where other sunscreens make him break out in rashes, this stuff gives him no reaction. I can put it on him in the morning, send him to school, and he comes back without a sunburn. Recess after recess, the stuff works.

I owe it all to my big sister, who generously gave me her bottle to try! Thank you, TG!

great product
This feels light on the face and pleasant to use. It is a great product if you are allergic to most sunscreen ingredients. It would be nice though if it was a little less expensive.

Great Self-Tanner for the Body!
This is the best self-tanner I have ever used and I've tried a lot of them. This has a gel-like consistency and goes on smoothly. I always moisturize my knees, feet, and elbows to ensure an even tan. This will not turn you orange, it will give you a very natural looking tan without the sun damage. I've only used this on my body but it suggests to use it on your face too. Another benefit of this product is you can get dressed right away without having to worry about this product transferring onto your clothes! I have already gone through several tubes and will keep buying it. I highly, highly recommend this product. Oh just be sure to wash your hands well after applying it.

Best Tanning Gel Ever
I saw that another person reviewed this product with 5 stars, but had only used the product on their body. I have used it on my face and it is flawless; no splotchiness. This product is definitely worth its value. I have really dry skin, especially on my fact, and this gel actually seems to add moisture back in (along with the perfect amount of golden tan, not orangey). I've also used quite a few sunless tanning products, some of which have been pretty good, but this one beats them all out.

It smells weird and it's awfully pricey for what you get
'Tis the season for every beauty magazine to once again dust off their alarmist articles about the dangers of skin cancer and tout the latest self-tanning products. Having seen my father go through two surgeries to remove cancerous lesions from his face as a result of not using sunscreen, I can vouch for those dangers. However, vanity will not allow me to expose my dead-white skin to the masses after spending the entire winter covered up and I've begun my annual quest for the ideal self-tanner.

I decided to try this product after reading several favorable reviews on Amazon and other websites. But at $29.50 for a 4.4 oz. tube it's expensive. The only reason I didn't immediately pass on it was because I had a $25.00 Amazon gift certificate. Otherwise I would never consider purchasing something this pricey.

True to its description, the gel goes on smoothly and evenly. It leaves a slight sheen so you can see where you applied it. The product dries a little slowly but I've learned to apply a small amount daily and let the color build over a few days rather than slather it on in one shot. I did that the first day and waited nearly 40 minutes for the product to completely dry before getting dressed.

Unfortunately I haven't noticed much of a color change. I'm certainly less pale but nowhere near what I'd call tan. Worst of all, the product smells like nail polish remover. It doesn't smell as bad as some other self-tanners, but I don't want to smell like acetone either.

In the end I gave it three stars for ease of application and superb skin softening offset by slow color change, odd smell and high price. I don't mind spending more for a superior product, but this isn't it.
