Has anyone compared this to Sun Pharmaceuticals or St. Tropez spray tan with quick tan color? What are the differences, pros and cons?

I have not used those two...but I have used the L'Oreal if that helps...Sublime I think one is called, and I've used a TON of other brands over the years. You can see this spray while you are applying...it is not true to the color it will end up, but it is a great marker showing where you are as far as even spraying. It does darken over time. I sprayed it on one morning after shower (SPRAY OUTSIDE...IT IS DARK AND GOES ALL OVER), put on white shorts after two hours and went to a baseball game outside in the summer. No mess, no stains, great color. Also, it has no funny smell like most do. It doesn't give an orange tint until DAYS later and that's just the leftovers on feet...if you're careful you can avoid that or just exfoliate it off.

I haven't tried the other 2 brands, and I most likely won't as I LOVE this! The coverage is awesome amd the quick dry and pleasant smell are an added bonus.

Hi Marilyn. The bottles are solutions with different intensity of shades. Quite honestly, it is confusing to know the lightest from the darkest. I purchased the Norvell Amber Sun Dark solution separately based on reviews. It does offer a nice color that can be used on any skin tone. I am fairly pale but can tan and found this color to be nice.

Honestly, I have not tried it with a spray tan. However, I don't think it would work because it is a bronzer, and it's very light so it's designed to work with the beds. You could probably try a sunless tan lotion, but if it were me I'd just buy either a tan extender such as Hempz or if you're doing a "cocktail" (lvl 3 tan + spray tan) on the same day this could work. I'd try a sample packet of either this or what they sell in the salon that goes with the cocktail. Sorry! Hope this helps a little! :)

I only use the bronzer for a natural golden tan. Very complimentary. All you need is the spray gel and sunshine.

Sun Labs has been great. I've tried several other self-tanners that gave me an unnatural orange tint but in my opinion, the "tan" I get from this one is very close to the real thing! I first saw it on a YouTube review and I haven't found anything better since I started using it about a year and a half ago.

From my experience, yes! I got a spray tan, used this after showering and before bed. I think it helped a lot, and also smells amazing!!

I am confident the product inside the bottle is what the bottle says. I got a great tan and my skin felt wonderfully smooth afterwards. Plus the product is sold from Green Web Inc. A reputable company and they've received 4:8 stars out of 24,800 votes on Amazon. Pretty legit if you ask me.

The tan is barley noticeable so I use it on top of my make up for sunscreen. I also have a second one that I put on my part in my hair (strawberry blond) to prevent sunburns and the powder is not noticeable in my hair.

I would say so! I worked for a tanning salon and it seems to be the exact same lotion!Love spell is another great lotion that is cheaper and smells better than this one!

I bought this last winter. Since then, I tried a few other lotions that were on sale. This one by far gave me a much bronzer look without looking orange. I got a beautiful dark color right away from the product and will be going back to this lotion for my next order. I know tanning businesses will tell you not to buy online because the products could be expired but I have yet to experience a poor tanning lotion product from buying online. I have been very happy and will gladly spend a fraction of the cost for just as equal of a gorgeous result. I hope this helped!

I have not, but I'm sure if you ask your tanning salon they can give you an answer. I would assume this would help and not hurt as long as you follow the standard rules for the spray tan itself.

I use this only on my face and have noticed neither tanning or sun spots. However, I generally use a foundation that contains additional sun protection, albeit not to the level of the Skinceuticals protection. I have found nothing else that gives me protection and that is so easy, comfortable to apply.

It depends on how dark you want it, the good thing is you can see the color right away when you spray. For me, I get about 3 full body tans in one bottle and I like to be dark. It also lasts for a good amount of time.

For this brand I have only used this in the tanning mist, but in general a spray is heavier than a mist. This is by far the best self tanner I have ever used. I spray and use a kabuki brush to blend. It's great coverage and perfect color.

I'm sorry but I don't know. This is the only product of this nature that I've purchased. I will say that for being olive tan complexion with many, many sunspots, it does seem to at least be evening out the skin texture and removing a light top layer. I don't see it doing much for the sun spots though. Hope this might help.

Works great for both! People at tanning salon I go to even asked what I use, they said I always look so dark. Well worth the price!!

Oh yeah! :) but I feel like non bronzers are better for starting a base tan, but this lotion will get you dark quick, that's my favorite part.
