While I've liked some Jergens body products, I don't think this is very good and I don't recommend it
First, the texture is odd. It's thick and a touch gluey - it reminds me of sticky pudding. Not something I love putting on my skin! What this also means is that it's difficult to spread and it doesn't absorb well, so I wind up using more of this per application than I do other creams. Therefore the product isn't cost-effective
Next, I don't like the scent. The cream has a very sweet smell that's not doing a good job of masking the chemical smell underneath it (it smells like hairspray). I don't like it. I'd honestly prefer the hairspray alone and not the fake sweet stuff that's trying to cover it
Last, the results. This takes ages to give me any colour, and when the colour does appear, it's patchy. Perhaps the patchiness comes in part from the fact that I have trouble spreading this product and getting it to absorb, so if that wasn't an issue, I may be able to get a more even tan. But I can't. Maybe it's better for normal to oily skin: my skin is dry so it does tend to 'cling' to product wherever it's driest (hence the patchy problem)
On top of this, I don't like having to wait 'several minutes to dry prior to dressing' (with most tanning creams, I can dress straight away) because I don't have time for all that. With two toddlers, I'm lucky to get a shower at all ; )
Plus I don't like that you're meant to use this daily for at least seven days to get any colour. Most self-tanning creams I use work in a much shorter space of time. If I liked the formula I mightn't care as much, but I don't so I do
I also don't think it's firming and it hasn't done anything for my cellulite, so I don't agree with those claims at all.
