Summary

Tan Physics' range of self-tanning products claims to give you a vacation-worthy glow without the risk of skin damage. These products seem to contain safe, effective ingredients, but the resulting tan might be more subtle and short-lived than you want.

Pros

  • The scent dissipates quickly after application
  • Doesn’t stain clothing when applied correctly
  • Dries quickly
  • Leaves a natural-looking color tone
  • Gentle enough for use on the face

Cons

  • Color might be too subtle, even after multiple applications
  • Starts to fade within days
  • Minimal color options
  • More expensive with subtler results than competition

Tan Physics Stinks and made my skin dry

By Cindy Stone ,

I got this product based off reviews from the website (now I understand fake reviews apparently), well I was very disappointed. It smelled like a mix between PineSol and Orange Glow. It stained my bed sheets, and when I woke up and took a shower, I didn't see any difference. I applied the next day and I had streaks all over and my skin was dry. I called for a refund and they told me they would only refund if I did not open the bottle, just my luck. Do not buy. 

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I think this product works well.

By Shelly ,

I cannot believe all the negative comments. I think this product works well. I don't think purchasing the exfoliator is necessary as long as you exfoliate with a washcloth. I was surprised that the tan extender was tinted as well; but I still like it. The one negative is that without using a body lotion after, my skin looks and feels dry. And if you wash your hands after applying, like all self-tanners, you will not see any stains.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Terribly drying product.

By Marjorie Farley , St. Simons Island. 31522

I used Tan Physics on the basis of their own reviews. Mistake. It's three days later and my legs are flaking off skin and I have a grossly spotted tan. It is truly ugly. A friend tried it too, with similar results.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sucks! Return my money please

By Consumer , California

This product sucks! Sticky, makes you look orange, creates streaks and smells very strong. I agree with everything St. Louis said. My palms are the most tanned after extensive washing. It is practically chocolate syrup. I am never putting it on my face again. Completely overpriced after seeing the low quality product and bottling. Tan does not look natural. Jergens is still the best.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Stinks, It really it stinks

By Nancy Wannen , Washington, DC

Again, it stinks, and the color is horrible. I like Nivea better.

Don't waster your money

By Tammy R. , Salem, OR

I feel like I was scammed. I've put on five applications and can't see any results. I've even applies more than generously. Don't waste your money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Didn't work for us.

By Ginger Alflen, Grand Rapids, MI, Verified Reviewer

Tan Physics did not perform the way they hyped it up to be. We used it and did not shower for two days and when we did it washed off and left my skin with blotches.

It does not live up to its hype. Too bad because it smells real nice and dried fast but it did not moisturize your skin like they say it does/

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great customer service.

By Tom Everhart , North Carolina

After a mix up on shipping, I got a phone call within five minute and the problem was handled very professionally to my complete satisfaction. I have not tried the product yet. Just letting you know they are a stand up company so far.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I thought it wasn't bad

By Anonymous ,

I personally don't really have any issues with this product other than you must wash your hands immediately after use or you're stuck with dark palms and weird half and half coloring through your fingers. I saw my tan within 3 hours from my first time. I have a nice glow and skin is soft.

I only bought the tanning bottles, 5 to be exact, pretty silly of me. Try to put less on the face and really work it in carefully.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Surprised at the negative reviews

By Lynch , Chicago, IL

Must admit that the day after using for the first time I was extremely disappointed, hardly any color change at all especially on my legs. But I decided to give it another try and proceeded with a second application and then the following day a third. At last, I have a tan and a very natural one at that.

This product smells great, dries within 15 minutes so you can wear your clothes, does not leave you feeling sticky and for me, moisturizes and leaves my skin feeling soft. It also does not come off on you clothes or sheets as much as other self tanners.

I'm about to buy another bottle. I do however think it should be darker, you need to apply every couple of days so the bottle certainly does not last long and is therefore expensive.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Amazing Product

By Kayla Hunter , Houston, TX

I wonder about all the negative reviews on this site. I just started using Tan Physics and I could not be more pleased. It tans evenly and naturally. It would not be as popular as it is if it were not a good product.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
