it is your average lotion [SEP] i wanted to love this lotion so much but it does not live up to the hype it is your average tanning lotion nothing really that special about it the dha being white and not instant bronze is nice so you do not have discolored hands in my opinion the color is not darker than a normal lotion that does not contain bronzers the scent is not one of my favorites but it is not a tanning lotion smell it is more of a floral perfume scent i have been using it for weeks and i prefer the other lotions i have used in the past
