Clear Self Tanner, Main Character Results
I love, love, LOVEEE b.tan. I discovered them during lockdown in 2020 when we were all chasing serotonin and a decent glow, and I’ve been loyal ever since. The scent, the color, the fact that I never end up orange or streaky… they’ve earned my trust. So when I saw they had a clear gel formula, curiosity won. Immediately.And yes, it delivered.Packaging (small detail, big win):Before we even get to the tan itself, I need to mention the pump clip. The bottle arrived with a little clip around the pump stem so it couldn’t be pressed during shipping. No leaks. No mystery tan explosions. I’ve kept the clip for travel because it’s genius. More brands need to do this.Gel consistency:This gel is the perfect middle ground. Not thick and sticky, not watery and messy. It spreads easily and evenly, especially with a tanning mitt, which I always recommend no matter the formula. It glides on smoothly and blends without effort. No panic blending, no racing the clock.No-rinse, no transfer:It goes on completely clear, which means no guide color, no stained sheets, and no awkward “don’t touch me” phase. It dries fairly quickly too. I was dry enough in about 10 minutes to throw on loose sweats and go about my evening. Dark, loose clothing is still your friend, but this formula is forgiving.Color & glow:This develops fast. Within 20–30 minutes, I could already see color starting to come through. By about 5–6 hours later, I had a deep, sun-kissed bronze that looked natural and even. No streaks. No orange tones. Just a rich glow that looks like you spent time outside instead of with a mitt in your bathroom. On top of all of this it leaves my skin feeling hydrated like I used a body lotion.Scent:This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to b.tan. There’s no classic self-tanner smell. It actually smells good, fresh and clean, and that stays true even as the tan develops. No “what is that smell?” moments.Product usage & value:What surprised me most is how little product I used compared to foam formulas. A little goes a long way. At $15 for a large bottle, the value is excellent, especially considering how dark and even the results are.Overall, this gel is everything I want in a self-tanner: easy, clear, fast-developing, great-smelling, and deeply bronzing without drama. Five stars, zero hesitation, and officially my new go-to in the b.tan lineup.

Not sticky gradual tan
I’ve tried a lot of self-tanners, and this one is honestly one of my favorites. The biggest standout for me is how quickly it dries—within about 5–10 minutes I can comfortably put clothes on without that sticky, uncomfortable feeling.It goes on clear, which I love, and leaves a subtle shimmer on the skin that makes you look a little more glowy right away. The tan itself is gradual, so you can build it up over a few days. If you want quicker results, using it morning and night definitely deepens the color faster.Yes, a little bit of the tan fades with showering, but it’s so easy to reapply that it doesn’t bother me at all. Plus, it’s actually moisturizing, so it feels more like skincare than a typical self-tanner.Also, as someone with sensory sensitivities, I really appreciate that this isn’t sticky or heavy—it’s super comfortable to wear. That alone makes it a winner for me.

Finally, a Self-Tanner That Checks All the Boxes!
I’ve tried quite a few self-tanners, and b.tan Gel extra Dark has become one of my favorites. The biggest surprise was that it doesn’t have the strong, unpleasant self-tanner smell that so many others do. It’s also gentle enough for my sensitive skin and has never caused irritation.I love that it applies just like a moisturizer, making it quick and easy to get an even application. Another huge plus is that it drys quickly and doesn’t transfer onto my bedding or clothes while it develops.For the deepest color, I do recommend applying multiple layers. I also suggest using a rubber glove during application to avoid stained hands. The final result is a dark, natural-looking tan that doesn’t look orange or streaky.Overall, this is an easy-to-use self-tanner that gives beautiful, natural results with very little mess. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Best color and easy application (for non-beginners)
The color this provides is insanely good. Make sure you shower after 5-8 hours because the smell gets worse as the color develops. The color lasts longer than any mousse, applies easier, and you don’t need a lot. Use a mitt. I don’t recommend for beginners because it’s clear so it will be easy to miss spots if you’re not used to tanning. But it’s a 10 for me.

Awesome product!
Every woman in my family uses this product regularly and love the results! NoMore spray tan professional or tanning beds.Apply it in the evening, follow directions and apply with mitten. Caution on elbows and knees not to over apply. Let it dry, go to bed. Shower in the am and use Loofah in shower to correct any uneven spots! Works great! Smells good to. Doesn’t feel gross and heavy on your skin with application.Both my daughters and my mom used this product for a spring wedding! Looks great!

From a Tanning Aficionado
I never write reviews but since I am an expert level self tanner ( self taught of course), I felt I should weigh in. I have been using self tanner since it was first invented. I’m very pale and very old. That being said I have quite literally tried every tanner ever made in search of a perfect tan and when it comes to tanning, money is no object. The most important components are color, even tone and dry time. Most creams take a while to dry but even after make me feel a bit suffocated. Foams are better and the dampened wipes are better still but nothing beats a gel formula. Unfortunately gels are less common and not always great. b.tan checks all the boxes and the price point is ridiculous. You also get a ton. I almost don’t want to press send in fear they will raise their prices ( I’d pay way more ).If you know you know

50/50 - Honest and Fair review
So… I bought the “glow your own way” in “darkest”. As soon as it came, immediately I read the back for timing instructions… there’s absolutely no mention of time to keep on. To be honest, that turned me off immediately especially for someone that may be new to self tanning, they would have had no idea. I had a little bit of an idea so I went with eight hours, wash off with warm water and apply moisturizer. Says “rinse free” but you have to rinse! The DHA in the tan gel that makes your color darken will only continue to develop over the next 24-30hrs AFTER YOU RINSE OFF! If you do not rinse for an extended period of time thinking the color will make you darker and darker until you look like JLO, the DHA can actually start to diminish, and your skin will begin to dry out being the tanner is now over process. I would not go over 12hrs AT THE MOST before finishing off. That being said, this also didn’t not say if I could rinse with warm water, warm water and soap, a full blown shower, and for someone new to this - they would have no idea. Not cool!Smell - the first pump into my hands was a mix of bad coconuts, tanner, and chemically nauseating but once it was on and dried it was much better. The “fake” tan smell wasn’t as strong as others I’ve used which I very much appreciated. I did my over night so I wasn’t too worried about the smell, if you do tan during the day, your self tanner odor will be noticed.Picture #2 - I did not apply to my hands. My hands are very dry from cleaning, doing dishes, being a mom and wife. The only thing they need is moisturizer so I opted to not apply on my old man hands. I’m coming up on hour eight and you can see the subtle difference between my wrist and my hand color. Hoping the DHA will develop more over the next day and the color will darken (I will let you know if I remember). I did NOT see a huge difference to my light olive complexion and that was disappointing. This gel in “darkest” should have been a great match for my skin tone.Overall the smell was low after applying, the get dried very quickly which was a HUGE bonus to me! At the end of the night, speedy is the best thing for me! The subtle color this gave me was not worth it, I am hoping it darkens up over the next 24hrs. Maybe I got a faulty solution in mine.If you’re a beginner, here’s your guide to timing and rinsing and I wouldn’t say not to try. The clear solution is beneficial and the quick drying was awesome. But if you’re looking for a deep, dark color, you’re not going get it from this which is a bummer.Hope this helped!

not too bad, it’s just my first time 😂
i don’t have many bad things to say because this is my first time trying out self tan, and i’m sure i did it wrong but it’s alright. after i realized i messed up i looked up how to use it correctly and not let it become streaky and a lot of ppl said that covering urself in lotion and letting it dry before applying the tanning gel works, so i should try that my 2nd time.. honestly everything else is pretty good other than the smell but i didnt know what to expect from a self tan so i think its normal, it smells like dirt or wet dog. but the color looks rlly good. i also didnt use any gloves or mitts so they might also be why it’s streaky and my hands were so orange. i just used nair hair removal and washed my hands with it and it got it right off so that’s a plus.also make sure u get EVERY crevice, my toes and fingers looked insane bc i didn’t rub it in between my toes. and it for sure doest’t rub off on any clothing or bedsheets. i had put it on maybe around 3pm yesterday then showered at 9pm the same night, and even tho i scrubbed myself with soap, it got tanner through the night, and i still smell like wet dog even after the shower unfortunately… but im doing a good job at covering it up with ariana grandes vanilla perfume 🙌🙌😭

Easy glow
New to self tanners. I wanted a safer, kinder to skin option, that didn't stain. This ticked all the boxes. Being naturally pale, I just wanted an improvement to my confidence. And an easy glow. Something that is more natural looking. The "Darkest" is perfect to achieve this.Despite having no guide color, I've found this product incredibly easy to use. I'd definitely recommend a tanning glove, back tanner applicator, and a tanning brush for face, hands and feet, for the most natural finish. Give the product at least six hours to develop before showing, etc.The skin is left feeling hydrated, and refreshed. Around the three hour mark, the color starts to develop. Limited "Tanning smell" during processing, nose close to detect the faintest smell. Otherwise, it's a pleasant fragrance. The color fades pretty evenly. If you shower every day, it's a twice weekly application. And it's easy to get used to applying.I definitely recommend. I am always very pleased with the results.
