I've tried EVERYTHING, I have sensitive skin and always break out in hives or a rash of some sort from self tanners and not to mention the smell and orange color!! Nothing even comes close to this!! I have the darkest of the 3 for reference. It blends right into the skin like a dream, even with my gloves on. Dries in maybe 3 minutes and hardly has a smell whatsoever! I wake in the morning with the most beautiful shade...an olive based deep tan , no orange, no yellow, just perfect! It fades evenly no blotches or patches. I am hooked for life!! BUY IT!!
Awesome!

I am 34, and have tanned all my life either at the salon or outdoors, and get very dark! I love to be tan! Just recently while at the dermatologist, a mole was discovered on my back that looked abnormal, but it was found to be benign. With that, and the fact that wrinkles are starting to rear their ugly head, I decided to enter the vast world of sunless tanners. I read review after review and did my homework for a few months before concluding that Sun Geisse was the best overall according to people like me. I bought a bottle of the dark (step 3) to try and instantly fell in love! The dark lotion goes on smoothly and lets you see where you are applying without streaking. Plus it gives you an instant glow and develops even darker within three hours. I didn't look orange either, but looked very natural. The girls at work the next morning actually thought I had been tanning at the salon. The odor at first smells nice, but while developing, it smells like all the others. Good news, however, it does fade away. I just bought three more bottles so I won't run out. I recommend this to anyone who wants a deep, dark natural tan without all the harmful affects of UV rays.
Beyond the best, just gotta learn a few tricks..

Okay, so I'm about as white as you can get, and the ONLY thing I get from being in the sun is freckles and a nice little sunburn! I've tried ALL the different brands, and have paid for the mystic tans (which is a timely effort, due to all the barrier cream application thats required if I don't want streaks). However, my Aunt gave me the leftover of a bottle of this stuff two years ago. She's spent her entire life in tanning beds and lying by the pool, and tans beautifully, however shes just recently paid the price with a battle with skin cancer...needless to say shes changed her ways!! She gave me the bottle of Sun (in Ultra Dark) which I tried out on my stomach first to make sure it wasn't orange. I am not completely addicted to this stuff!! It requires a little work, but here's a few tips... 1) Shower and shave FIRST 2) Completely dry off and put plain lotion (nothing with fragrance in it) on the soles of your feet, your ankles, kness and elbows 3) I keep the sink water running in the bathroom, and after application to each body area, use one of those little nail scrubbers and soap to get the stuff off my hands 4) wear junky clothes till it dries...I put it on before bed, and let it dry for awhile before I hop in the sheets, 5) If you use it on your face, use a TINY amount and do your cheek bones, a light grazing on your forehead, and keep your neck okay with a very thin application, that way it looks natural, not like you dunked your head in something and came up brown, think about it, does anyones face get that dark while tanning? Nah, and when it does it looks BAD. I will add pics later, got a wedding this weekend I have to look nice for...it'll give you an idea how great this stuff really is!!
Sun-best self tanner yet!

I have used every self tanner known to man. This product goes on very easy and dries pretty quickly. Your skin feels soft and the color looks very natural. You really do look like you are sun kissed-without overdoing it. It is not orange looking at all. You do need to wash your hands really well after using product. It goes on dark but dries to a natural color. Has a pleasant smell too. It is by far the best self tanner I have used in 20 years!

BEST ON THE MARKET- I PROMISE

I have been using self tanners for 20 years. I started with my mom QT back in the 80's. I have literally used almost every brand on the market. This is the best. I would love to share my secret about getting the color perfect. First put regular lotion on your elbows, knees, and back of hands. This is to prevent the dry spots from absorbing too much and turning too brown. Then put heavy coat of self tanner on, and rub quickly because it dries fast. Then to make perfect blow dry your self for about 5 minutes. Only put on in the morning and not at night. Put on after shower. Dont put on before bed, it will rub off and become uneven. Follow these instructions, and you will have the ingredients for a perfect tan!
Great option for self tanning

The smell is great on this product which is always my biggest concern with self tanners. It covered nicely and looked very natural, even my husband said I looked pretty but couldn't figure out what I had done. I had no streaking, but be sure to wash your hands immediately after applying.

I've tried all the different tanning lotions and sprays and anything else under the SUN. Giese'e has always been what I've come back to. Its natural looking and not streaky. Always wear my latex gloves to apply and it blends right in.
Finally! Something that works!

I am a very fair-skinned individual who does not tan well at all. I've been trying various sunless tanning products recently, hoping for a miracle before my upcoming vacation. They've all been disasters until I tried Sun. I can't speak to how it wears off, but I've been very impressed with the application. It's true that the stuff in the bottle is scary-looking-dark. Once you rub it into the skin though, the difference is very subtle. I'm practically ghost white and I bought the dark version and now I think I could have gotten the darkest version and still been able to achieve a moderate tan without looking extremely dark. The best part is that it goes on so smoothly! I did put lotion on my palms every time I squirted more tanner from the bottle, which may have helped. I also washed my hands about 4-5 times during the application over my whole body. I exfoliated once about two weeeks ago, and still it went on perfectly over problem areas like my feet, knees, etc. The color also looks very natural. After application, I waited about 1/2 hour before getting dressed, then put on old clothes, but didn't have any staining on them. I'm loving this product and can see now why there are so many people raving about it!!
The Best and The Only!

I have used this for years! There's been a couple of times I haven't been able to find it so I tried something else. From expensive to cheap the other products were a dread disappointment each time. As a sidenote this is the favorite product of my pedicurist, she says it's the only one that doesn't turn the footbath orange and/or come off on her hands. I lay in stock now so I don't have to face a summer without it! Do shave, exfoliate/buff and moisturize before application. Your "tan" will be beautiful and long lasting!
