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

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

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

Doesn't Work

By Judy Ashton , Lafayette, IN

Tan Physics did no more for me than any product you buy off the shelf in the store! After trying it for several days in a row, I saw no difference in color on my body or face. Disappointed, and have returned the item!

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

Worst Tanning Lotion Ever Made!

By Shelley Love , Remlap, AL

I need to see how to send back order for a full refund. This is by far the worst tanning lotion I have ever tried. It leaves skin splotchy, orange & breaks me out. A friend's husband asked me why I was orange & said I looked like I had jaundice. Save your money! Terrible isn't even the word for this stuff not to mention the price!

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

Not what they had promised

By Loretta , Murrieta, CA

Like so many other I am very disappointed with this product. The plus is that it doesn't smell bad and I didn't have any trouble with it drying my skin. The minus, and a big minus, is that it does not work very well at all. I too will go back to using what I was previously.

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

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

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.

Stinks, It really it stinks

By Nancy Wannen , Washington, DC

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

Major SCAM

By Mellissa , Melbourne

Yes I am one who unfortunately fell for this scam (sigh). Being in Australia this purchase ended up being $63 and it is the WORST self tanner I have ever used. It smells like toilet cleaner, and once setting that familiar fake tan smell comes out, although they claim it doesn't smell! I have used many self tanners and this one instantly dried my skin, then made it orange. I did not have a healthy glow. It made me look older and my skin looked rough and it brought out all my flaws (and yes I applied properly). I looked at many reviews and wished that I have had done that before a spontaneous purchase, as all my research supports my claims of this being the worse product. I went onto their site to try to find return instructions to get a refund and there wasn't any (red flag). I sent them an email and am willing to bet the process of a return will be a big long drawn out nightmare. Which is how they make their money.

I am disgraced at this product. Go for model.co, which is never more then $10. It is so much better and much, much cheaper.

P.S. it has 1 star because it was the only way I could post the review. It should be zero.

Bad Business

By Angela, Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

WORST EVER. They say they have a 100-day money back, I have yet to talk with someone, even after I returned it in plenty of time. I called 3 times today, left messages, and now it dials and hangs up. Beware, scam and fraud.

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