Gel Vs Lotion

I have tried the fake bake lotion as well as the gel. My consensus is they both give a great color, coming from someone who has tried every self tanner in the world, I do really like this product because it looks like a real tan. It has a rich brown color and is not orange at all. For those that say the tan washes off, it's supposed to. I almost feel that these products are more like a skin stain than a sunless tanner.
It may be intimidating at first because of the darkness (like chocolate syrup) but it looks nice on the first application even for fare skin. It is build-able, so if the tan isn't as dark as you would like you do it again the next night. It is important you exfoliate on the first usage and wash before each application thereafter to ensure proper absorption of the tan. Don't use any lotion, or oily products (I used a sugar scrub for exfoliating and it was too oily for my first go around)
The lotion goes on more evenly than the gel upon application, however both appear equally as even after rinsing the next day. The gel has a more intense tanning factor I feel than the lotion. The gel however is quite sticky, the lotion is not. They are equally as messy, however it washes out of clothes/sheets. Either way you cant go wrong, but I would start with the lotion if you are a first time user. I would also buy a pack of latex gloves for application, the one pair that comes with the bottle just isn't enough.
It also doesn't dry the skin out or look all crazy when your skin starts to shed like other tanners.
Overall I really love this product. On a scale my favorites in order:
1. Fake Bake
2. Mystic Tan
3. Loreal Wipes
4. Sally Henson Airbrush Legs (not a tanner but amazing)
5. Breathe Delight Gradual Tanning Lotion
Everything else kind of seems the same.
It's ok

So I just had mine come in the mail today, and I put it on mid-day, and it works really well and is good for instant gratification because it goes on really smooth and evenly. However, once I took a shower later that night, so much of it washed off, it's like my skin didn't take much of the color at all by the time I was toweled off. Kinda irritating too when it comes off on your clothes and under garments.

Hi, I am a black person who has lighter imperfections in her skin, well, white imperfections. I tired of using liquid makeup as it would always come off. I tried this product and guess what? No more makeup no more coming off at inappropriate times. It's really very good. I hope they make it just a wee bit darker so I don't have to apply three coats.
