Garnier Summer Lotion Sun Kissed 400Ml Reviews Summary

Application & Consistency

Pros:

• "It’s so easy to apply not streaks at as it goes on like a normal moisturizer."
• "I love that you can apply this with your hands, and as long as you apply it all over the body, it comes out even and natural looking."
• "It’s easier to apply than a fake tan due to the creamy consistency and is so much easier for removal."
• "Really easy to apply and never looks streaky."
• "I can apply this after I've just shaved and it does not cause any irritation."
• "Applies really nice and evenly, and isn't streaky unlike quite a few others I've tried."
• "It applies just like a moisturiser goes on brilliantly and rubs in super well."

Cons:

• "I found two coats in two days was a bit too much and I looked a little orange so it would be better with just one."
• "Got this thinking it was going to be like a tinted and gradual. Was not! Instant tan after one use, and went flaky/patchy after a few days."
• "Moisturising buttt... even with a small amount I looked orange and if you don’t use a tan mitt you will look awful as there is streaking."
• "The only con is it tends to transfer to lighter clothes."
• "Product comes up streaky and with some patches darker than others."
• "No matter how much I tried to even it out everywhere and rub it in properly, it still left me in orangy stains in places."
• "This is ok for certain parts of my body but even after moisturising just before applying, my ankles and knees ended up quite a bit darker."

Scent

Pros:

• "It smells lovely no streaks."
• "The smell is much better than other brands that do similar creams."
• "It smells AMAZING."
• "The scent starts off like tropical fruit (mango or papaya maybe)."
• "One of the nicest smelling products everrrrr. Smells like apricots and summer, Id buy it just for the scent."
• "Nice scent, the apricot makes it really summery- not the classic fake tan smell luckily!"
• "The almond oil smells so nice."

Cons:

• "Scent isn't the best in the morning."
• "Has a very perfumey smell which gives me a headache and then that lingering fake tan smell."
• "Smells summery at first but then you do get that fake tanny smell when it’s settled in."
• "This smells OK when first applying, but god it stinks weird once it's been on a while."
• "But after a couple hours the dreaded sunless tanner 'dorito smell' starts going on."
• "Don’t know what other people are smelling but for me the scent is still the usual overpowering (and not nice) scent."
• "It smells fruity and youthful, like bath and body works in the 00’s."

Effectiveness & Results

Pros:

• "Amazing tan leaves you with a natural glow."
• "It’s a really good product and it does what it says! it smells really nice too and the bottle is quite big and lasts awhile."
• "With so many events and no UK sun… this tanning moisturising lotion is so handy. No streaks and doesn’t have that strong fake tan smell. I already have tanned skin and it doesn’t make me look really dark. Looks very natural."
• "Good gradual tan. Not too much, perfect for a slight summer glow."
• "It produces a natural looking tan during winter months and is an excellent moisturiser that does not clog the skin."
• "Gives such a bronze natural summer glow."
• "Gives an even, golden tan, excellent moisturiser."

Cons:

• "Bought to give legs a bit of colour after lockdown. VERY disappointed and won’t be using rest of bottle."
• "Also I don’t have sensitive skin at all but this started giving me sores and eczema patches on my knees and my shoulders."
• "It did break me out though in cystic bumps on my arms, shoulders, and chest. I stopped using the lotion and the breakouts went away."
• "It says gradual but after a couple of uses, I looked like a tangerine."
• "Colour is bright orange and works after the first application, nothing gradual about it. Streaks and lines everywhere, awful product."
• "Unless you want to look like a banana don't buy."
• "The color is even and dark, but not orangy."

Texture & Moisturisation

Pros:

• "I like the feel of this, it works really well in keeping my body moisturised but also adding a nice tanned tint at the same time."
• "The lotion does moisturise very well and has a nice scent."
• "It’s very moisturising, left my skin very soft."
• "Very moisturising, my legs feel so soft."
• "This product is amazing! It’s very moisturising."
• "Always leaves me feeling nice and moisturised as well as glowy and confident!"
• "Love this product. Used for a few years. Rubs in very easily and leaves skin feeling moisturised for days with a lovely natural glow."

Cons:

• "I tend to not to use it as much in the height of high humidity summer, as it can sit on the skin a little and feel greasy when it's particularly hot and sticky weather."
• "This product stays very sticky and wet feeling on the skin until you wash it off so it's like it never dries properly."
• "It takes FOREEEEVER to dry so im sat there like a scarecrow trinna not move."
• "The only problem is the sticky bit is not sticky forever but it takes a while to fully dry better if you apply it at night after a shower."
• "Unlike a lot of Garnier moisturisers I actually didn't find this making a huge difference to the moisture to my skin."
• "This is ok but is a bit orange and I swim a lot and tends to leave a film on your leg and doesn’t sink in properly even a day later."
• "Nice and moisturising but make sure you're dry before dressing."

Price & Packaging

• "Seems like a good price for the product."
• "Really good size bottle for the price!"
• "I couldn't believe that I managed to find it online for half the price so I obviously jumped on that."
• "I always buy this in store when it is 2 for the price of 1."
• "Amazing value for money, and a lot of product."

Cons:

• "The actual moisturiser works wonderfully but I think Amazon needs to take more care into the packaging because not only did it make a mess but it also got wasted and in turn wasted my money a little."
• "This item was bought as a present to give today and it came all crushed and battered and not able to use."
• "I used the original product ie prior to it going vegan - it was greatNow even after 3 applications there is hardly any colour whatsoever - wouldn’t buy again & would not recommend."
• "I think this is fake as it wasn’t tanning us at all."
