I don't tan as often as a lot of other tanning bed users and don't like to spend an arm and a leg on lotions. I don't care for very tingly ones or some fragrances. This stuff smells like an orange dreamsicle and it's pretty strong- if you don't like that scent, this one definitely isn't for you.

I don't burn with this lotion, which tends to happen easily on my sensitive skin. When using small amounts, I did not experience the "greasy" sort of feeling some other users have or with other lotions I've used. Any lotion will cause that if you put on a lot. I just prefer to do my tanning at the end of the day so I can shower shortly afterwards too.

I also find a lot of the other lotions too be a little to gimmicky and not exactly for an adult consumer and cost waaayyy too much. After having sampled several different types over the years (usually in sample packs), I think this one is by far the best bargain and works every bit as well as $30-40 bottles. I also have burned with several others that cost a lot more. I certainly intend to stick with this one.

Also as a side note, the seller for this, ShopWars was very good to me when I received a damaged bottle. I'm guessing it was beat up at the post office and while it was wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap and placed in a plastic envelope, it was everywhere by the time I received it- a total sloppy mess inside the envelope. I notified them immediately and was contacted the next business day and had a brand new bottle 48 hours later via UPS with no questions asked. I always think highly of a business that knows how to handle a problem and it counts just as much as how they do business when things go exactly as they are supposed to.

This "accelerator" lotion is amazing stuff. I can't use very many moisturizers, as I break out very easily. For some reason, this product is not greasy and immediately soaks into your skin. It also gives your skin a five-minute `rush' of tingly that is just shy of being uncomfortable. It is just the right amount of sensation, like a very brisk after-shave. It does keep your tan longer as it prevents your skin from flaking. Best to use it before going in the sun. However, it is NOT a sunscreen, nor does it color your skin.

I love this product and I love the results. I am Irish and German but this product helps me tan. Love Love Love it.

I have a tanning membership at Darque Tan, but refuse to spend $50 on a lotion that definitely is not as good as this one. Been using it for about 3 years now indoor and outdoor. It's amazing.

This product works well - I have used it for each of my tanning sessions and have been happy with the results. It does have a orange cream-cicle smell, but that wears off pretty quickly. The product itself has worked very well for me and I would recommend it.

Feels great, smells even better and it seems to do what it says. I've been using it for 3 days now and have noticed a visible difference as opposed to some other products that I've used in the past.

This product is great except for around the elbows, knees and ankles - turns an orange/dirt color. I applied it to my whole body except when applying to the above areas, I mix it with a standard unscented body lotion and it comes out okay.

Who knows, it may work fine. But I have a problem with not getting what I intend to get. The picture of the product is a pump spray bottle. I recieved a bottle with a wide flip top dispenser of lotion. Not what I wanted. But I'm not going to go through the hassle of return. I've been a very, very, long-time shopper of items on Amazon. I've seen reviews of products where customers complain about not receiving what they ordered. Unfortunately, it finally happened to me.

the picture shows a spray version of the product, which was exactly what i was looking for..however, they sent me a lotion version!.. i know it is partially my fault for not reading the description correctly, where it says "lotion", but they still can't show a picture of the spray one when offering lotion! for me makes a real difference because lotion just makes my skin greasy and never seem to absorbe it..pay attention to that!

AGA works very well for the price. It's not as "tingly" as some of the others, but it works super fine. The fragrance could be somewhat lighter, for those situations where you tan in a booth/bed, and then are going somewhere without taking a shower, etc. But all in all, its very good.
