Overall Opinion:

It seems like lately I’ve tried a lot of sub par self tanners, and this one was no different.

I ended up giving this one 2.5 out of 5 stars, so it was very average in my opinion.

The color it produced was so light, I’d call it more of a glow than a tan.

It was natural and smooth looking, but I think this would work better as a tan extender then as a self tanner.

The smell was gross, it smelled like DHA mixed with a slight hint of fragrance.

And the price was way too expensive at $7.35 an ounce.

Detailed Opinion:

Look and Feel

Avene Moisturizing Self Tanning Lotion is a thin, white lotion.

The lotion is very slick and creamy, and it’s thinner than most lotions.

There’s no guide in it, so it comes out completely white.

Application

Avene Moisturizing Self Tanning Lotion is very easy to apply.

It comes out white, and you apply it just as you would a body lotion (although I recommend wearing gloves).

This one is a little thinner than most lotions so make sure it doesn’t drip.

Drying Time

I’d say this one took about 25 minutes to dry completely, which is pretty average.

I was a little sticky at first, but the stickiness quickly went away.

I would’ve liked it to dry a little quicker, but I can’t complain because 25 minutes is average.

Smell (Before Application)

This one smells like DHA with a hint of fragrance.

It’s not my favorite smell, but I got used to it.

It smells of self tanner, but I’ve definitely smelled worse.

It smells a little bit fresh, but mostly like self tanner….like I said, not my favorite smell.

Smell (After Several Hours And The Next Day)

The next morning any smell was completely gone.

I was worried I was going to reek of DHA when I woke up but thankfully I didn’t.

Color Produced

This one produced more of a glow than an actual tan.

The color I got was very light, but it was pretty natural looking.

I’d read a few other reviews that said the exact same thing, it didn’t give them much color at all.

This one was a light shade, very even and smooth, and thankfully it wasn’t splotchy or streaky.

How Long It Lasts

This one only lasted 2 days before the color was completely gone.

I wish it would’ve lasted longer, I feel like this is more of a tan extender than a self tanner.

OK For Men?

Nope, this one is way too light for men!

It also is too expensive and smelly.

Price

Avene Moisturizing Self Tanner is $7.35 per ounce….yikes. That’s expensive!

The bottle is $25.00 for 3.4 ounces, too expensive for this product.
