I am a HUGE SkinCeuticals fan and use many of the products from the skin care line. However, this is a weak link in their offering IMO. Unlike other self-tanners, I found this one wore of unevenly, leaving an unattractive "splotchiness" (glad I tested first!). Perhaps I did something wrong, but I have used many self-tanners and found this one the least successful in terms of both color and even-ness. I do recommend Clarins, though I've never used the gel (here): Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel. That said, I highly recommend any of the following from SkinCeuticals, all of which I have found to be excellent products: SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic - 1 oz,SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel - 30 ml, SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture - 60 ml, SkinCeuticals Intense Line Defense - 30 ml, or almost anything in the skin care department.
