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

Never arrived

By Jo, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

My order never arrived and I have been unable to track it. The last available tracking showed it had arrived into New Zealand, then nothing more. I have no idea how to get my money back or who to complain to! Definitely a scam!

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

Tan Physics lotion

By Marian H., West Virginia, Verified Reviewer

The lotion does everything it states it won't...smells of copper after about 40 minutes after applying, leaves orange streaks. Would never pay this again as what I've bought at local drug stores for under $15.00 does as well if not better as you can pick your light, medium, or dark tan. Not happy with this product for what it cost at all!

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

Purchased, not delivered

By Gaynor Giro, Walkerville, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I was so excited to receive my products today and can't wait to try it. BUT I am missing one bottle of Tan Physics true color. I have received the Exfoliant and the Tan Extender so I guess I will write a review once I can try the product.

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

Love it

By Lisa P., Vienna, VA, Verified Reviewer

I have been using this product for several years. It works very well. It only has a slight smell. When applied correctly it does not streak. Take your time and apply in a circular motion. The only downside is when I purchased it there was no moisturizer in it. They may have improved that by now. I would just moisturize afterwards. Also, I would avoid wearing white as it will come off onto the inside of your clothing. Same thing with white sheets. I'm of the age where I do not lay in the sun so this is a lifesaver for me. The color is realistic and it works much faster than other self-tanners. I don't know what I'd do without it.

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

Rip off

By Kelly B., Troutdale, OR, Verified Reviewer

This product is misleading. I have very fair skin, I have put it on 10 times today and it can’t even be noticed, not one person has said anything. It is way too light, there needs to be different levels or colors.

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

Smells

By Jennifer B., Tacoma, WA, Verified Reviewer

HighYa reviewed the Tan Physics and said she used her bare hands and it did not color her hands after application. I applied it the same way and washed hands soon after and it did stain my hands.

Also, HighYa said it does not smell, after application. For me, the smell got more intense as the hours went by. Not a pleasant smell like what was in the bottle before application.

Lastly, HighYa said it wouldn't rub on clothes, but three hours later, I rubbed a white towel over my arm and it rubbed off, I did put lotion on before application.

Plus the tan it gave for me was more intense than the subtle tan that HighYa gave in her review after one application.

It is highly priced and not sure, if there is a cheaper, less chemical, self-tanner out there but worth your time to research and see.

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

Incredible

By Marianne S., Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

This product is amazing. For a woman that works 50-hour weeks and can't get in the sun like I wish. Tan Physics has made me a very happy woman, inside and out. I will be using this product until the end of my time here on Earth. Thank you.

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

I hate it and want know how to get my money back.

By Betty C., Combs, KY, Verified Reviewer

It is the most awful stuff I have ever used and I have used them all. I followed it step by step and I woke up orange. My feet are the worse. Now I want that money-back guarantee and I will send your product back so you can put the money back on my card.

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

I like it because it doesn't leave any streaks and looks good and the best I've ever used. Can tell in just one use that your skin is kind of tan. Would recommend to people if they ask what I was using.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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