Summary: Ladies, this is it -- if you are pale
Comment: I am very fair, and in the winter I can look ghostly. I have tried various self-tanners and moisturizers + self-tanners and none gave me the same results as Clarins. This product delivers a beautiful warming of the skin, a sort of "radiance" just as the name promises, but the effect is very subtle. Also, I have sensitive skin and this cream did not cause me to break out. So, given that it works, why did I give four instead of five stars?
One: there is no color guide. That is, this cream (it is not a gel) is white, so you will not be sure if you have deposited too much of the self-tanner in one place. However, because the color that develops is not dark, any mistakes are easily covered up.
Two: the smell. It starts as a flowery sort of fragrance, but that fades into the usual "nutty" smell of self-tanners fairly quickly. It's not terribly strong, but it bears mentioning.
Three: The cost. I think this is silly-expensive, and I am the sort of person who is willing to shell out quite a lot of cash on beauty products. Fortunately, a little goes a long way.
So, despite the drawbacks, I will probably re-purchase and continue to use Clarins Radiance-Plus due to the gorgeous color it imparts and because it makes me look healthy and "glowy," even in February!
p.s. Read the two earlier reviews carefully; given the similarities, do you think these were written by the same person? Someone from Clarins, perhaps? Or did "Carol" copy phrases from "Cheryl"? Weird . . .

Summary: No Yellow or orange
Comment: I bought this a years ago and I still use it. It goes on easy, its almost impossible to make a mistake because it darkens your skin very lightly. It gives a pretty glow to your face. It has a light scent and it is easy to apply with the pump. You cannot use too much by accident, or spill it, etc. It has a great consistency . It smooths nicely over my face and neck. I highly recommend this. This also moisturizes your skin too. Its a little pricey but I've been turned orange one too many times by other self-tanners and this will not do that. It the only one I have found to be natural.

Summary: Awesome Face Self-Tanner
Comment: This is the bomb! I bought this a few years ago and I still use it. It goes on easy, its almost impossible to make a mistake because it darkens your skin very lightly but even for the first application, it gives one a pretty glow to your face. It has a light scent and it is easy to apply with the pump. You cannot use too much by accident, or spill it, etc. It has a great consistency like its name - cream gel. It smooths nicely over my face and neck. I highly, highly recommend this except for someone with very oily skin. This also moisturizes your skin too. Its a little pricey but I've been turned orange one too many times by other self-tanners and this will not do that. When this runs out I will definitely buy it again.
