Exceptionally poor product
This is a very poor product. I thought I had bought the original formula - I had not realised it had changed. It’s going back - I applied it expecting to wake up with a lovely glow - woke up in the morning, no change. Incredibly poor product. I looked identical to prior to putting it on.

Shockingly bad
I’ve used the gel tanner for over 15 years and loved it. This new formula is shocking! I don’t want to reapply every day, with the old gel it lasted for days after one application. It’s streaky and so sticky, I have no idea how Clarins can say you can get dressed straight away after! I’m looking for another tanner. Please bring back the original formula!

Disappointing
I’ve used this product for years and never streaks. Bought this new updated version and applied as normal and arms all streaky. So disappointed.

A great tanning gel
Love this gel - gives a natural tan finish to my skin - I am fair skinned and I thoroughly recommend this product.

Clarins Self Tan gel
This gel is easy to apply and doesn't have any streaking color. However, as with all self-tan products, it eventually has that smell that stays until it's showered away. The color is very nice though.
Terrible, sticky and streaky! AVOID
I have always been a Clarins fake tan girl - have probably used their self tan for around 15+ years! I think they changed the formula a few years back and it wasn't as good as previous but it still did the job. I bought this new formula without even looking and when I got it home and opened it I saw it was a new formula again! I opened it and it smelt good! Better than before. I applied it and then was waiting for it to dry - but it didn't! The old formula was sticky, but this OMG it is horrific! It is so sticky it's unbelievable. For them to state that it is non-greasy and quick drying is an absolute LIE! On top of that the next morning I woke up and the colour was not as natural as before, more orange and it was streaky! I've never had streaky tan in my life! I had to opt for trousers as it was too embarrassing to get my legs out. I'm so disappointed. The tan stays on in patches and has dried my skin out. I'm not on the hunt for the discontinued bottles of the old stuff - but struggling to find any. Looking for recommendations for a new fake tan I will NEVER be using Clarins again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Awful fake tan!
I have always used your fake tan. Please bring back the instant gel this new one is really bad. I have started to use another brand. Very disappointing.

Thoroughly disappointed with result of new version
I worked for clarins for a few years and there introduced to the clarins self tan milk. Fabulous!!!!! I sold so much just by wearing on counter at work. Formula changed to the milky lotion and still loved it. What have they done to this new formula!!!! 😳 dreadful. I look an orange colour, streaks comes off and has stained my clothing. Leaves brown stain around my bath. Never had any of this before!!!! I thought id try the gel to see if it was better. Smells awful. That self tan smell and same results. Orange streaky skin and also shows up all little flaws on my arms and legs. Im going to have to start looking for a new make of self tan and this is after 20 years of using clarins. Dear clarins, reading through reviews it looks like you'll be loosing many loyal customers. Such a shame.
