Customer feedback highlights a natural-looking tan, an absence of harsh scent and ease of application. Reports are mixed on streaking, transfer and how long the result lasts, with some customers saying it fades after a few days and others describing longer wear. Customers also describe it as expensive. For a clear mist that requires blending with a mitt, the disagreement on streaking and durability is worth weighing against the convenience of the application format.

Positive themes

Customers describe the tan as natural-looking rather than orange or overly brown.
Some customers say application is easy and the product has no harsh scent.

Negative themes

Customers describe the product as expensive.
Some customers report that the tan fades after 3–4 days.

Mixed feedback

Customers disagree about whether application is streak-free.
Reports differ on longevity and whether the product transfers to clothing. Some also say it can be hard to remove.
