Glow Clear - Self Tanning Mousse

Streaky and uneven tan

I bought this after I learned the tinted version had a bunch of toxic dyes in it. Due to the product being clear it makes it very difficult to apply. I tried it on 4 different occasions and each time my tan was streaky and splotchy. Even though I put the mousse everywhere the color was not consistent. This is the worst self tanner I have ever used.

SKIP

The pump on this product is absolutely miserable. I would not recommend purchasing until the manufacturer fixes whatever is going on. The formula is great but Isles of Paradise is dropping the ball by such poor packaging. This is the second bottle I've experienced issues with and have officially lost confidence in the brand.

Faulty pump/formula in newer bottles

This was previously my favorite self tanner and I’ve been using it for years, but recently the pump stopped working on a newer bottle. I’ve now seen other reviews saying the same. Thinking the pump was faulty, I poured the contents into a different pump container and it still wouldn’t work. I think there is something wrong with the formula now. Please fix! 🙏 contents into a different pump

DONT BUY

my first time buying cause i heard it was great and i got three pumps out of it and the pump stopped working not only is the tanner coming out liquid from the nozzle it is also coming out the sides which caused half of the tanner to go to waste very disappointed will be returning tomorrow

Horrible! Run!

This is the worst self-tanner I’ve used- and I’ve been using self tanners for 30+ years…I exfoliated, shaved and moisturized as directed. I’ve never had this type of response from any other tanning product!

The pump broke ?

Color is not bad. However, the pump stopped pumping after a few minutes of me using it - this has never happened to me with any other pump fake tan or product. Very inconvenient to have to pour the product onto my mitt. Still not as dark as I would like.

Solid 8.5/10

It’s a self tanner—let’s keep in mind the correct prep!! You have to exfoliate & moisturize well prior to application. Without those two things, ur doomed. Let’s keep in mind this is my first ever self tanner purchase. But these are my thoughts and findings from a couple applications: 1. The clear product is a game changer, absolutely no color transfer to my sheets or clothing. 2. The mousse application is just as I expected. I have not tried their oils, so I can’t compare, but I have no complaints about the texture. Not sticky at all. I would agree with their marketing that says it’s hydrating. 3. Smell. It does have a minor smell but I applied it before bed and it was gone in the AM. It was not a dealbreaker for me. 4. The color I think is pretty important. I am not a bronzed girly, but I got the purple—the darkest shade. I may end up switching to the medium to try it out. I loved how the purple developed and it was an 7/10 color in my opinion. A little more orange than I wanted to be, especially in natural sunlight, but literally only on my face. My body color was great!! If you’re indoors, I would say it’s less of a problem. 5. Application. What I did: Exfoliate 24 hours before with a dry brush. Day of: exfoliate in shower, apply my squalene oil to dry skin (my moisturizer), then apply product. I started at my legs and went up. Did not even touch my wrists/hands or ankles/feet until I was completely done with my body. I did not add more product to the mitt after I did my face, swiped my feet once and swiped from my wrist down my fingers once each side. Note: bend your fingers when you apply, otherwise you miss the knuckle skin and end up with lines where the tanner did not reach. 6. Final comments. Their mitt was a huge problem, product went through and turned my hands very orange. (Do not purchase their mitt.) Specifically my knuckles and my pointer finger on my left hand?? It was not the end of the world and it did not show up in photos at all, my frien

Defective pump

Product gets the job done but pump broke after three uses! Without the pump, the product is just a liquid instead of foam, it feels sticky.

Still the Best Self Tanner I've Used

This is probably the best self-tanner I've used. The mousse is easy to apply and it dries quickly. The color is subtle so you can layer it and get a very natural looking tan that lasts for a couple of days. The glove is a must for even color (just apply it as if you were applying body lotion), and choosing the right shade for your skin tone is key. I've been using this for years (the mousse, water, and face drops) and it's still the best I've found for an even, natural looking tan.

Essential for summer

I have pale skin and I used the med. I DO NOT sun bathe .Smoothest self tanner I have ever used. I use twice a week all summer. the glove is a must.

Foam nozzle does not work.

This was my go-to must have or I panic tanner last summer. I have so far bought 3 bottles this summer and every single one has stopped pumping. As one reviewer said the last one stopped after 3 uses. The first two times I thought might be my fault for leaving it in a bag where it was sideways or upside down but this is their problem and one I hope they fix asap. Until then do not buy.

Pump WILL break on you. Save your money.

Every time I’ve bought this product within the past year/year and a half, the pump ALWAYS breaks… which is a big deal because this is a foam product and doesn’t apply as well without the pump making it totally useless when the pump inevitably breaks. This recent purchase, I was only able to use the product ONCE before the pump broke. So disappointing because this used to be my go to self tanner and I have used it for years with no problem in the past. ISLE OF PARADISE! FIX THE PUMP! Won’t be buying again. Too frustrating!
