This tanning lotion is gradual and easy to use. As with any other tanning product, you have to make sure you’re applying evenly/blending out in order to avoid it being streaky/uneven. Tanning gloves are helpful if you have them, but washing your hands well right after is also fine. For the price point, I don’t think I would repurchase, because I think there are more effective ways to achieve a fake tan. But this option is fine for someone who doesn’t want a lot of work involved. Definitely not ;or super pale skin - maybe a lighter shade would work better.
