Neutrogena Instant Bronze Lotion Deep
Neutrogena Instant Bronze Lotion is the first drugstore sunless tanning lotion with an instant bronzer dark enough to see on most skin tones. Nice, but there are some problems. The chief instant coloring agent is caramel, which is as difficult to spread as substances tend to be. I ended up with numerous streaks. For the first time in my sunlesss tanning life, I panicked and rubbed in body lotion over it immediately after. Eight hours later, when I washed off the instant bronzer, the sunless tan looked fine.
The next time I tried it, I didn�t worry about the streakiness, and I wish I had. I was left with plenty of them once I washed off the bronzer. Two days later, the "tan" was completely gone, a plus or minus depending on your point of view. This is a quick fading product. The fragrance is light, identical to that of the non-tinted Neutrogena foam products. Not a good product for the face if you tend to break out due to several pore clogging ingredients.

Recent member contributed mini-reviews:This was OK for a drugstore brand. The cg gave a nice natural-looking glow and the smell was pretty inoffensive. The end result was an OK color, excellent on the face but not as nice and a little streaky on legs and arms. Also very easy to apply.
One of the worst sunless tanners I've ever used. Horrible colour guide, chunky and unspreadable texture, and the resulting "tan" is a mess even if you are a skilled sunless tanner. An absolute "why bother?" and a complete di
This product has a wierd CG, I couldn't rub it in! It would streak, but look acceptable the next morning after the first shower. My tan was light (almost not worth the effort), and I just couldn't get past the CG problems.
