“Bad experience”
Written on: 03/05/2013
I am new to fake tanning, so gave this a go on the basis that previous Garnier products I have used have been great. This however was not. I put one coat on, followed by another ten minutes later (as I wanted a nice rich colour). I was ridiculously sticky for about ten hours and the smell was god awful. I showered about 10pm having put it on at 1pm simply to get rid of the smell as best as I could, I am now a streaky mess. It ran everywhere, and I am left with a smelly patchy orange body....

“Best spray tan around!”
Written on: 23/02/2013 by Figgypie123 (1 review written)
This spray tan is brilliant and gives a lovely golden glow. You have to follow the instructions and spray at least 40cm away, my friend made the mistake of spraying to close and ended up with loads of streaks. One other tip put something to bottom of your feet if you stand in the mist that's hit the floor your feet will go a really dark browny orange colour which is not a good look! I like the smell and it goes after 20 mins. This product takes about 3-4 hours to develop so I tend to... (read more)

“Be patient... Unlike me! ”
Written on: 12/06/2012
I bought this tan as I'm going on holiday soon and can't tan my legs to save my life! I was told about this tan by a friend I usually uses San tropay moouse ones, but fancied a change. I went out and bought this I was just planing on doing my legs but I decided to arms as well. I spray as instructed 40cm away, and was like oh I'm used to other looking tan a little bit more tan instantly. So I let it dry and develop for 3 hours and didn't really notice a whole lot of different, a little but... (read more)
“Don't Touch It !”
Written on: 29/05/2012 by caroleinwales
I applied the mousse version of this product after my morning shower, so it had all day to absorb and dry, and result was OK. BUT - went to bed, and next morning my bed linen was badly stained. (Thank goodness I didn't wear my best cream trousers during the day). It toook a couple of washes to get the stains out. Contacted Garnier and got a patronising reply saying the can said 'to avoid fabric'. So, we are expected to walk around naked and sleep on floorboards ! They have totally ignored... (read more)

Written on: 09/05/2011
Tried this for the first time, followed the instructions exact as on the bottle with my partner so we didnt mess it up.
spraying on is easy but as a mist doesnt exactly give you confidence that it is covering all of you
Results were mixed, although sprayed same distance all over, the results mainly appear in overnight and they were streaky at best but in other areas seemed basic tan
I think ill stick with the moisturising lotion, at least you know where your putting it and can spread much...

Written on: 18/04/2011
This is my first time using any self tanning product ever. I naturally do not tan at all and remain milky white most summer.
I bought this as it was on offer at around 7-8 pounds, I cant remember exactly.
I think the reason why so many people are getting streaks here is because they arent reading the instructions which states hold the can 30 CENTIMETRES away from skin and spray in circles. I know this because when doing the back of one of my legs i accidentally got too close, so i have a...

Right, seriously, do not buy this!! I never usually wear fake tan becasue i have quite olivey skin anyway but I decided to try some for our engagement party last September. I had bought a shortish dress to wear and had quite pasty legs so was recommended this spray by a friend. I only wanted to use it on my legs so a few days before I though i would try it out to see if it worked. I followed the instructions exactly and went to bed hoping for an even tan. How wrong I was!!

Written on: 02/04/2011
Awful awful product! I bought this because I couldn't afford my normal spray tan this month. I applied it twice within 48hrs and it made absolutely no difference to my legs or torso - they are as pale as they were before. This alone I wouldn't mind - you win some, you lose some! But unfortunately the horrific side effects to my pale legs were orange feet and one big, fat streak down the back of one of my legs neither of which will budge regardless of how much I scrub!! I would blame the... (read more)

Written on: 30/03/2011
Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer - I used this for the first time at the weekend for a pre holiday glow...and thought it was fab! I was careful to exfoliate all over first which I think is key...as is washing off the soles of your feet afterwards..sort of common sense really! I did not need to rub it in, it dried within a couple of minutes and I just put my dressing gown on and relaxed for 30 mins to ensure it did not rub off...not much happened that I could tell after the first spray but...

i got this product just before christmas and on christmas eve morning applyed it to my legs. my dinner time i was very happy with my results so far but when i woke up the next morning i had blotches everywhere. It was a non-streak tanner but my legs were completely covered in streaks. i however must credit this for being long lasting for it took a good two weeks before i had normal streak free legs again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. its cheap but not worth it. i would recomment doves summer... (read more)

Written on: 21/09/2010
Ive read a few reveiws on here saying this is awful, and 'lies lies lies' but tbh I think it really does depend on how you use it and the space you do it in. I've NEVER had a problem with it going to dark, unless ive put it on dry skin, and ive never seen it 'shimmery', ok so its not dry but it dries quickly! overall this is the best/cheapest spray tan i think is available, st tropez is a very good one but less practical application and higher price leads me back to garnier.

Very easy to apply and it doesn't come off on your clothes or bedsheets and I definitely had no streaks! I did miss a part on my arm but it was very easy to respray the area to give an even tan. My only negative comment was the amount of application per tin. Overall I'll be buying it again and switching from my regular fake tan (read more)

Ambre Solaire Light Glow No Streaks Bronzer. Where do I start! With the name of the product which lies lies on all counts. No streaks: codswallap. Light natural tan: codswallap. Dry body mist: codswallap. My legs were feeling a little left out of some sun, and we had planned a day out on the beach. Shopping in Tesco, I saw this little joker on the shelf on special offer, with a description on the tin that sounded to tempting to refuse...you know why, because it's deadly venom in a can that...

It's awful! I sprayed it on 2 days ago, and it's made me look like a cross between an orangutan and a zebra. It's shocking. Somehow even the sole of my feet have gone bright orange, and I have no idea why. And when spraying my arms, my neck went orange. I'll never buy it again. (read more)

It is a really good product but you have to know how to put it on. Even though it seems as if you just have to spray it i put plenty on and then spread it evenly. I can understand why it wuld be streaky if you just spray it because you could miss a bit. I love this product and will continue to use it :) (read more)

I bought this the other day as they didn't have my usual self tan. looked like a decent sized spray bottle so grabbed it as i was in a rush. put it on when i got in slept in it and there was hardly any color difference. applied again that nite and only a slight difference in the colour. the thing i am most annoyed about it i payed 10.99 for it and only got 2 full body applications out of the can. would not buy again as 2 body applications is not worth that amount of money.

Love love love this product! I have been using this product for almost 3 years now! I have tried a few fake tans St Tropez (good but expensive) and boots soltan (again ok but strong smell) but I really like using ambre solaire mist spray.
You need to know how to put this on properly or of course you are going to get steaks and lines! You must must exfoliate properly before application and get someone to help you. Don't spray too close to the skin or you will get lines!!! I have had some...

Written on: 16/11/2009
They should have never changed from the original. The original make of Ambre Solair was much better than the new formula. The only thing better about the new one is its fragrance. The old one went on almost like an oil which was much better to rub in etc. The new one goes on like a water based. The old one went a much better colour also. (read more)

I'm a big fan of self spray tan, I've used many. When I saw Garnier no streaks bronzer, I thought I was on to a winner as it was half price, £7.00 instead of the usual £14.00. I felt confident purchasing the product as Garnier is a well known brand.
I followed the directions on the back of the can but may as well just have gone ahead and ignored them. I woke up the next day to legs that resembled a zebra. I tried to scrub the tan off but to no avail and had to wear jeans or trouser...

Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Spray is clear so you can't see where you're putting it, it's runs out pretty fast too. The smell can be pretty intense when you first apply it but it's soon dies down. States it can be applied from any angle, well, you can, but it's extremely hard. I had to shout my sister to help me! It takes a few hours to notice a change in colour. For about an hour after your skin is still pretty moist so I had to disappear up to my room and wonder around naked until it... (read more)

The first time I used Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Spray I ended up with runs/treaky marks all over my legs and arms...not a good look. But used it last night at it seemed to work much better.....think practice makes perfect with this stuff. I would recommend holding it closer than the advised 30cm's and spraying continually in long sweeping motions. Two 'coats' in one go seems to give a pretty nice golden colour. (read more)

Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Spray goes on so easy and you can reach the hard to reach parts of your body with the dry mist, the colour turns out great really tanned and only after 2 hours, it lasts shower after shower.
I always choose this tan its the most reliable for a dark golden colour and its makes your skin really smooth too

I decided to give this a go when I saw it on offer for five pound in asda, easy to apply, but the result colour was more orange than brown, worked fine on my body however looked TERRIBLE on my arms and hands, I looked like a dipped my fingers in a can of baked beans?
I do not recommend, unless you want to look like a cheesy wotsit.

I really liked this product. It was easy enough to use and it could get into hard to reach places. It's definitely easier than creams or mousses. As you can't really see where you are spraying, you don't know if you have missed places until it turns out. Still very pleased with the product and will carry on purchasing it. (read more)

Only used it once so far, over all its an acceptable colour, apart from the few very obvious streaks. maybe it just takes practice to use.
Mine was on offer, but if i'd decided to pay out more, for what I though would be better than a cream, I would have been disappointed.

Written on: 04/06/2008
I love no streaks bronzer and after reading other peoples reviews some think its great some think its not!! My only advice I could give is to exfoilate in the shower with a body shop body scrub, dry your arms and moisturise leave the moisturiser to dry and then apply the no streaks bronzer an don't spray in lines. Me and my cousins have been testing it out and have found if you hold the spray down and continue to go up and down the area it comes out a lot better. Hope this helps !! (read more)

I love the idea of a home self tan spray, and this feels just like the stuff from the salon when you apply it! I had finished applying in less than 10 minutes and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it dries in comparison to creams.
The odour is okay and not too biscuity, it doesn't leave a mess behind. Unfortunately the instructions on the can are what let this product down. It just says to spray on at a distance of 30cm, which I did. I have waited nearly 2 hours and have yet to see a...

Helshippychick's Response to steph2011's Review
Written on: 30/01/2013
I have used this product very successfully for a few years now, and reading some of these negative reviews, it is clear that disappointed users have not followed the instructions, which state apply from 30 cm using circular motion. It works very well if applied according to instructions. I am pale skinned and do not tan at all, so use this product all year around. In the summer I use it more often, but also in the winter I use it as I don't like my natural paleness.
