WHy do they make it over 100 ML? – I must start by saying I've used this product and others in the range regularly and it works really well for me when applied with a proper mitt. Unfortunately, my skin was meant to remain in Ireland but generations ago my family migrated to Australia where I too want to look like a bronzed Aussie but with fair skin have learnt not to even try with… Read more

the sun. A few weeks ago, I was on my way O.S. to Sri Lanka on holiday with deathly white skin. No time to prepare, I bought a Le Tan Dark Bronze Tanning Mousse at Sydney airport chemist on my way through to Melbourne (we had to fly via Melbourne to Sri Lanka). This looks fairly natural on my skin (surprisingly), I've tried many tanning lotions and this is now a better colour than some more expensive brands. What happened next- customs confiscated my BRAND NEW UNOPENED tanning mouse as it was 10 miserable ml over the allowable size (the container says 110ml), I'd lay odds that some of that is just airspace I told the guy, otherwise how could I shake it up from the liquid to become a mousse? compelling argument but he wouldn't budge. It was tossed in his stack of products that would never see any overseas destination. SO - I had no tan, lost my money on the purchase of Le Tan, remained as white as a ghost for the whole holiday. Here's a NEW LE TAN MARKETING PLAN: make it 10ml smaller (note to self: they only sell skin whitener in Sri Lanka - perhaps as tourism takes off more there will be a market over there for those of us so inclined :). I was very unhappy with the whole deal :( - didn't expect the foam type to be treated as a liquid and with it only being 10ml over the limit why not reduce the size of the container (and the price) to allow for what MUST BE an obvious Marketing Advantage! Want any more ideas for cosmetics/pharmaceuticals I'm available but it will cost you at least another bottle of Le Tan dark tanning mousse (ha ha).

Patchy and weird – Even though my skin was moisturised prior to use this dried to a very patchy uneven unnatural colour. It went on very well and was easily applied but the final result was awful. It looked just passable for an evening event. In daylight it was awful. Thank goodness I used it just on my legs..had to wear long pants to hide it. Do not recommend at all.

Amazing!! – I'm a fake tan freak! I've been using fake tan from 14 to now 21, I never Sunbake I wear sunscreen everyday all through high school I used Le tan then I went to Bondi sands then to St Tropez, my skin doesn't react well to St Tropez makes my skin so dry and irratared. it's a nice colour and the bottle lasts like 6 months (expensive) so I would… Read more

recommend it to someone else with better skin, Bondi sands.. I think they changed they're formula because it stopped turning out as good as it use to, it has to much green pigment, maybe I was doing something wrong as I usually sleep on it. I went to the shops to look for something else, Everything was sold out except Le tan, Le tan is kinda dead in the tan world after everything else came out so I tryed they're new Le tan shimmer oil, I got home used it thought this is so gross, watery and too much glitter, so I went and washed it straight off, the next day I woke up my skin was sooo soft and tan even though I just washed it off straight after. I looked at the tiny bottle and it looked like it hadn't been touched I put some more on then did another layer half an hour later like they advise if you want to be dark... oh my god this tan lasted so long looked so nice and my skin has never been so soft it has Moroccan oil in it and my skin loves it I've had so many compliments on how nice it looks and despite doing another two layers the bottle is still looking full! I'm so impressed by this product I've never wrote a review before but every fake tan freak should try this annnnd you don't have to wash it off like other bottles say it doesn't smudge and quickly dries this products is legit you can put clothes on and go out half an hour later so convinent and easy I hope this product neverrr gets discontinued it is too good!! I'm so happy I found it

Fake tanning has come a long way :) – I purchased the Le Tan Deep Bronze Mousse to give it a go after doing a lot of online research in to tanning products and reviews. I am a make-up artist and general beauty lover and have a couple of events to go to this weekend where it is dress up time. Living in Darwin it is so hot and the sun so strong that I make a very big effort to stay out… Read more

of the burning/ageing sun.

I have to admit it's been about 5 years now since I have tried any tanning products, though I used to tan in my 20s quite a lot with fake tan products. Back then it was very hard to find a good fake tan that didn't streak and stain and wasn't orange. I had many a bad experience. Professional spray tan was the best option back then, but even those were iffy.

I am so pleased to say that after trying this Le Tan product I am stoked with the result! It was so easy to apply (used the mitt with the mousse so as not to stain hands) and I put it on about 2 hrs before bed. It was dry completely within about 15 minutes anyway and I could see the colour easily as I applied it. I only wanted a natural glow and was a bit worried that it might go really dark, but everyone else who's reviews I read recommended the Deep Bronze as the Bronze was just not enough. So off I went to bed with concern that the tan would rub onto my cream coloured expensive sheets, but alas, I woke up in the morning nicely bronzed with no rub off from my skin to the sheets at all! Again stoked!

After having a shower it definitely faded slightly in colour and the slight orangy hugh that I had from having it on for 9 hrs washed off along with it. So I am nicely golden and looking very healthy and glowing for my big weekend.

That was a really long review I just realised. But can't say enough good things about it. Great product.

Good value, nice looking tan – So recently I've been on a major self tanning binge I've become a little obsessed. Previously I've always used my spray tanning machine but I find a lot of the time I couldn't be bothered because it requires a lot of admin (i.e. setting it up, getting someone to spray me, cleaning up the mess). Over Christmas I bought 3 Le Tan products - the… Read more

mousse in Deep Bronze and a new one called Dark Bronze, and the lotion in Bronze. They were half price so I thoughts I'd go a bit crazy. Previously I had only used the Le Tan spray and found them a bit messy and not an overly even result. So first I tried the lotion and I was quite happy with it, I put on two coats allowing it to dry in between, left it on while I slept and woke up the next day to quite a natural and even tan, it actually also made my skin feel quite nourished. My only gripe was that its a bit light, I have fairly pale skin but like quite a dark tan. To get around this I applied it the next night again and it was the perfect colour. The mousses are also good - not as nourishing for the skin mine felt a little dry but I found them easier to apply and quicker to dry than the lotion. They aren't overly dark - even the dark bronze one but if you apply two coats then they are a lovely colour. I especially like the dark bronze one as its green based so the colour is a beautiful deeper brown colour. Overall loving this tan its so easy to use and each that I've tried has been so natural looking - an even and a nice brown colour like it came from the sun ;-)

Absolutely amazing! – I’m a newbie to self tanning, and this is the first product I went for based on the reviews. I exfoliated and moisturised with a thick coco balm before applying. It went on smoothly, evenly and absolutely streak free. It’s such a gorgeous colour, and looks very, very natural.

Best tanning product ever made – I'm pretty white and this was perfect for me. I love this tanning product because it leaves behind NO streaks whatsoever. Just make sure to shake good before using as it says on the bottle otherwise it comes out too dark

Best tan ever!! – I highly recommend any of the Le Tan - tanning Mousses, I'm pretty pale but use the deep bronze and let it develop over the day. I use the express mousse in the deep (green base) for 2.5 hours gives an amazing bronze colour.

Orange – The tan applied very well and was not streaky or patchy. i wasn't overly please with the colour when i washed it off. it did give me a more tanned look but it had a very bright orange glow compared to other self tanners. it wasn't as brown based as i had wished. this may just be limited to the bronze shade i purchased.

Waste of time and money – Used two coats of the bronze mouse and didn't tan me hardly at all. Not bronze one bit. Quite disappointing because I wasted my money.

It's excellent! – After reading these reviews I went with the DEEP BRONZE mousse, and I have no regrets! I just applied once, and I got an instantly deep, rich colour which looks completely natural. I can't believe how much better my legs look in a skirt!! It rubs in really easily, dries without any blotches and the colour is very even. I know I didn't apply it… Read more

perfectly even, but it still comes out all the same colour. I'm so impressed. I haven't used fake tan in about 15 years, and they certainly have come a long way. Although, somehow fake tan still makes your skin have that fake tan smell!

Best product ever !! – I've used both the BRONZE and ULTRA BRONZE, my favourite being the Bronze mousse. I find using 2 application of the Bronze is perfect. This tan never fades off patchy.

Happy with this product – I purchased Le tan mousse in bronze and was a bit worried when I read reviews stating the colour wasn't obvious once developed. However I did 2 applications with a tanning mit and was really happy with the colour. I am fair skinned though.

BEST natural looking tan ever used! – I recently bought this tan in the colour bronze. at first i was sceptical of it as its so cheap i thought it would be orange and look very fake and not apply evenly but it is the most natural looking tan ive ever used! it does not look fake at all and is so even! although next time i will definitely be buying the deep bronze one as the bronze one does not have that much colour even after applying 2 coats.

Awesome Natural Looking – Easy to put on when using the glove. I love the Deep Bronze one as the colour is deep and rich. Have tried the bronze one (gold label) but colour is weak and not as long lasting as the deep bronze. It doesn't look fake at all, no streaking and lasts about 3-4 days before it starts to fade. Same times you can pick it up in Woolies for around $6 per can. Definitely worth a try.

Very natural looking tan – I tried the BRONZE mousse and i am very pleased with the results i am yet to try it on its own i have only tried it on top of the Le Tan Deep Bronze Spray and i ended up more ORANGE then i was bronze but after a couple of days it settled nicely and i have since used the BRONZE mousse over the spray and my tan looks amazing.

so happy!!! – Its worth every cent... I've never spray tanned before; for The fear of being orange -_- my boyfriend was able to apply the tan all over my body I left it on longer then 6 hours... And I was a dark brown with the bronze and after a shower I was afraid it was all coming off but I was still a nice natural bronze so I'm happy just how long does it… Read more

Use only Deep Bronze – I love Deep Bronze, it's a nice natural looking tan that lasts up to a week. Easy to apply with gloves and I don't experience any streaking. Don't bother with regular Bronze, colour isn't deep enough. The smell of all of colours isn't as nice as other brands. Do not waste your time with Dark Bronze, it's like they've used a completely different formula with much more green base yet seems lighter than Deep Bronze and far less natural.

Very good for the price – I've been using this tanning mousse for the past six or so months and for a drugstore brand, it's very good. The bronze mousse doesn't give much colour though even with the recommended two layers so I would definitely go for the deep bronze mousse. It looks very natural and not orange, but it does feel sticky for quite a while after you've applied… Read more

Great Stuff & no chance of Skin Cancer! – I work in the sun all day so I could easily get a Natural tan but not worth the risk nowadays! So I don't look like I'm only tanned down to my t-shirt arms once a week I put 2coats of Deep Bronze & I can where a singlet & look like I just got back from the Bahamas

Best tan on the market! – I used Le Tan mousse in the colour deep bronze for many years in the past. I've tried other at home tans like St Tropez and J Bronze, but I always end up going back to Le Tan!!! I think it gives a natural colour and you can change the type of colour that you get by adding more or less coats of tan. Extremely quick drying, streak free and has a… Read more

reasonable scent to it. Not to mention the price point - it's extremely CHEAP!

Would never use another tan again!

Great colour, easy application – Really natural colour. I am a medium/light complexion and used just the bronze mousse and applied two coats. I exfoliated and moisturised before and applied with a mit and it worked beautifully. Great price too. I have also used the Ella bache mousse and at 5 times the cost there really isn't any difference. Yes it does smell like fake tan… Read more ·  1

This is the best tan I have ever used! – I am an avid user of fake tans and have tried so many brands. I was delighted when I discovered this cheap tan that leaves no streaks, dries quickly and gives a really natural looking tan. I hae had many compliments while wearing it. Everyone thought it was real. I put it on before bed so I do wake up with brown sheets but it comes off in the wash. Colour, dries quickly

Tan, gradual tanners etc but this is by far the best. Drys super fast so no dancing naked around the room, doesnt streak and the colour is amazing. A beautiful brown- no sign of orange. Have tried other tans and when i get in the water they still take on a bit of an unnatural colour. Not this one.Getting lots of comments about what a beautiful tan I have. And the price is awesome. Beautiful colour, inexpensive, quick drying Wish I found it sooner

It's so easy to apply, I did find it dried quite quick, so I use a moisturizer beforehand and it glides on so smoothly. Love it very much!

My best friend – What a great product. It really is instant and looks so natural. It is not streaky either but you must either rub it all over your whole body or to the lines of your underwear or swim suit. It is so effective that if you rub it to the top of your legs for example randomly and not to the underwear line it will clearly show. It seems like a small… Read more

Good – I consider myself a fake tan expert as I have tried so many. I am very pale but like a bit of colour and found this product to be pretty good. The one bottle has lasted me ages and I apply a couple of coats every week or so. For a 'deep bronze" colour I don't think it was really very dark and I needed to apply quite a few coats to get the desired… Read more

colour depth. It did not seem to rub off or go patchy as some tans I have used have but wore of gradually which was good. I will buy this product again without hesitation. The only negative was the smell. Affordable, nice colour for my skin, tinted so you can see where you are applying Really smells like a'fake tan' especially as it is developing, can 'grab' at the ankles and elbowareas if you are not careful

Excellent product – I love this product. I tried it last night, found it easy to apply, has a great colour. I got the Deep Bronze. It has hardly any fragrance so is perfect for me. I found the colour did wash off my hands ok. Very reasonable price for the 200ml. I think it was under $20. It dried quickly. Also Le Tan are Against Animal Testing. The colour is gorgeous and it went on easily.  Show reply

Excellent – I have very pale skin and most fake tanners appear too orange and streaky on me. The formula comes out as a tinted foamed mousse, so it is very easy to apply smoothly and quickly. It dries very fast, and develops in 3-4 hours. It is the least streaky fake tanner I have used. It is coconut scented, but once it starts developing you do get that… Read more
