no where close as dark as there ultra [SEP] don t know if i receive a faulty bottle or what but it did not work for me i was very disappointed i will say that i bought there x ultra and it s times darker wth the thousand x is supposed to be a times darker but when i open the bottle the x is very light it s barely got any tan color to it at all but the x is super dark which makes absolutely no sense i thought about returning it but i ve already opened it and i m not sure they would except it in any case just beware quality control must be lacking
