I brought this product as wanted a bit of a tan ready for a friends wedding. A friend had told me how good it was and it was on offer in Boots so I thought I would give it a go as couldn't really afford to go for a spray tan! Initially all was ok applied the moisturiser after a shower and started to see a change in colour the following morning. Repeated the next evening again all was fine. Come the next morning I had a raging red rash under my arms, tops of my legs, stomach and back of knees. The rash looks like a stinging nettle rash, close bumps and very itchy. Be warned if you buy this product and get the free rash it will hurt! I phoned Garnier and explained what had happened and the woman advised that I dispose of the moisturiser and that she would send me some vouchers to compensate for what I had spent. They were helpful and far better than their product!!!

I've got the same!!! I used the garnier original intense - no streaks bronzer - which it really isn't. Not only is it streaky it's given me the same rash as you've described above....and it hurts so much I had to soak in the bath for ages trying to sooth my skin. I use the garnier after sun tan maintainer usually and never have a problem. It was out of stock which is why I tried this one...never again... Lesson learnt the hard way
