Australian Gold Espresso Dark Tanning Milk
There was nothing that smelled worse than the old version of Espresso Dark Tanning Milk. There is nothing that smells better than the new French Vanilla version of the product. Pleasantly moisturizing and easy to apply, it provides a light brown color that is easy to build on. This an excellent product to use over a darker product to maintain the color. The pump dispenser works well, a nice change from the dysfunctional devices frequently foisted upon us. In fact, the Espresso Dark Tanning Milk has the most beautiful packaging of any sunless tanner I've ever seen. It deserves its own shrine. In spite of the claims on the label, this product does not provide immediate color. There is a small amount of caramel, enough to tint the lotion, but not enough to tint you. The active ingredient is DHA [dihydroxyacetone], the active ingredient in all sunless tanners. And, like all sunless anners, it's not immediate. A great product, but unfortunately very expensive. Australian Gold is preventing the discount lotion companies from selling it below full retail price. While I can understand that AG is doing this out of loyalty to the salons who sell their products, I hope they realize that the people buying sunless tanning lotions online are a new customer base that does not overlap with their original salon customer base. And we like our low prices! March 29, 2001Online merchant: aBetterTan.com

My favorite ST'er for hands and feet! Very light natural brown, wonderful scent. Also works well as a layering product, especially with Mystic Tan.

I got no color from this at all. It was just too light.

Smells great, but definately not a 'dark' sunless tanner. Is good layered on top of an st.
