Banana Boat VitaSkin Instant Sunless Lotion Dark
This new product from sunless tanning heavyweight Banana Boat looks beautiful in its bronze pump bottle. As a faithful customer of the excellent Banana Boat VitaSkin sunscreens, I was eager to try it. Alas, it doesn’t live up to the promise.
Regardless of how the product has worked for people as a sunless tanner, complaints about the pump are universal. It breaks almost immediately, and even when it works, it is hard to operate. As one user complained, the product has the consistency of cream cheese and is just as hard to spread [cream cheese straight out of the refrigerator, I might add].
Too bad, because the fragrance is better than average. But due to the difficulty in spreading the product, it’s difficult to get even results. And some have reported that the product faded poorly.
I hope that Banana Boat works on this product, because it’s a great idea; it just needs some work.

Recent member contributed mini-reviews:I love this one for my face. I apply it after moisturizer once only every other day. It seems to give my skin a fresh glowing color. I love the smell. The only problem and I stress this....Only apply once or you will get lizard skin.
I bought this at Walmart because it was on sale. I love that it's thick and creamy. Its the most non-streaky I've used in its price category, and my skin feels like silk after. I also love the new color of me. ; )
The pump is extremely inconvenient. It takes FOREVER to dry. Developed into a very light yet very ORANGE color.
