Clarins Self-Tan Gel Face and Body Tanner, 4.5 oz.

The new formula is absolutely awful!!!! I have been using this product for years and it was truly the best and now it’s literally the worst so streaky and it smell smells bad.

I adore this self-tanner. I live in a warm climate, and with dresses, skirts, shorts, etc -- what a difference a glowing tan makes. It is so easy to apply, works like a charm, and I enjoy the scent as well. I have been using this gel for well over a year (I sometimes use the 'milky' Clarins version as well, changing between the two. Thank you, Clarins.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Clarins self tan for my face for years but when my latest subscription came and I saw that they'd changed it, I was really disappointed. I took it on holiday and it was awful. I could always trust that the self tan would make my skin feel and look amazing but the new product made my skin look horrible. I didn't feel confident at all and I had to use another product. I would not recommend and I will be cancelling my subscription. Why do beauty companies do this?? Not impressed at all.

Very easy to apply, never uneven streaks and fast drying. Last about a week too

Very easy to blend

I have been using this product for about 20 years and would never use anything else . I couldn’t believe it when I purchased my latest one a couple of weeks ago . It doesn’t smell nice , it seems really watery and sticky and doesn’t apply the same any more . Why on earth would you change something that’s obviously a customer favourite to a product that’s now disappointing. I need to now look for a replacement after all these years ?

I have used the gel tanner for years. I constantly get compliments on my skin when wearing. This new formula is sticky, does not smooth easily, and the color is not as pretty. It also does not feel as nourishing as the last formula. Please listen to your customers and bring back the old formula!

Ive been using the Clarins Instant tanning gel for years but the new ‘Express’ formula is awful! Goes on streaky, patchy & uneven, doesn’t tan any quicker than previous formula as takes hours/overnight, the gel is sticky & you certainly cant get dressed until dried over a long time. I will be looking to find an alternative tanning gel to replace this product! Why on earth was the formula changed when the previous one was great & easy to apply ???!!!

I have used Clarins self tan gel for nearly 20 years - one of my favourite beauty products. I cannot believe they have changed to the new formula! I agree with all the poor reviews here. It is sticky, smells unpleasant, is difficult to apply and results in awful streaks and patches. It is very expensive but results in the worst self-tan look possible. I am SO disappointed about this and will now need to find a replacement - not by Clarins. I really hope that Clarins listen to their loyal customers about this.

I noticed a lot of bad reviews about the new formula for the gel self tanner. However, I feel like it works much better than the other formula. It goes on easier and it lasts longer. I really like it a lot.
