Idéal Capital Soleil Self Tanner

This is the best self tanning lotion I know. It is rather subtle so you will never go from pale to super tanned with one aplication. Actually I am not sure you will ever get super tanned with this because it is really gentle. My tan looks very natural and no one ever guesses it comes from a cream. Also it doesn't leave smear marks or dark spots maybe also because it is so smooth and easy to spread.

Very easy to apply. Even and very natural tan. No cloying fake tan smell! Love it!

Works well, decent color, somewhat drying. Will never buy again. Can get same results with $10 drug stor products.

Vichy Idéal Capital Soleil Autobronzant Moisturizing Self Tanner Lotion for Face and Body with Vitamin E works well over time. It is spring and the long sunless winter must come to an end. For people everywhere, but especially those covered up all season with "whiter than white" legs, shorts are distressing first thing out. For me, self-tanners provide enough color to allow wearing shorts without embarrassment of snow white legs, while letting me outside starting to get some sun on those same legs.Having tried mousses, creams, and thinner spray products, with and without "guide" color--I have preferences. First preference, less cream with drier application. Second preference, low fragrance. Third, enough DHA concentration to push the first application on the skin to a retained color without relying on the color that literally washes away. If you have never used these types of products, the longer you can leave it one before you wash it off, the more color you may retain. As for color, in these products, DHA is the active ingredient and it usually is retained as a brown-orange color on lighter skin types. If there is added color, and you choose to keep the product on without washing, then that might be a factor in your own product selection. (In that category, I really like the Fake Bake products, thin consistency but high DHA and lots of brown colorant).Vichy Idéal Capital is a cream. It can go on thick and remain sticky depending on how much you apply. Too much and it will stay moist. Just enough and it dries to stay on longer for better retention. It does not have any added color, so it will not be immediately obvious until later how much tan color you may have retained. The fragrance is OK, not overwhelming, and it does seem to subside over hours, although not totally.On the first application, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of color provided after letting it stay on about 8 hours then washing it off in a shower. The second application provided a bit more color. From my experience with other tanners I would say the concentration of DHA is average, not providing a quick tan, and requiring an additional next day application.Cost wise, and accounting for the amount of product required for coverage on legs alone, I was able to use the given amount about 5 times over a period of weeks. For retention and continuation of the “tan color” you need to put it on (and let it stay on for a number of hours) about every 3-4 days.All of these products say you can put them on your face, although I would hesitate about doing that without trying some on your hands first. It is not so much about skin sensitivity (and the Vichy Idéal Capital did not irritate my skin at all, as they indicate) but strange or inconsistent color. Inherently a cream will provide easier and more consistent coverage than a thinner liquid product, but still-- try it on the top of your hands or upper arms first to see if you like the color that might be retained on your face. (I prefer no face application).So how does Vichy Idéal Capital self tanner stack up. I would give it 4/5, mostly due to ease of application and how it feels after it has been on a while. Minus a star for perceived lower DHA concentration and slower tan development.Vichy Idéal Capital Soleil Autobronzant Moisturizing Self Tanner Lotion can ease the transition to comfortable display of winter legs to summer short weather. If you have never used a self-tanner this is a good one, and worth a try, especially if you have tried other products.

I’ve been using this product regularly on my face for about 20 years. I like that it helps to keep my face the same color as my arms and chest without sun or foundation. I love the scent and weight of the lotion. Excellent value. No weird coloring, streaking or irritation. Highly recommended!

Been using it since I was 15, results are súper fast and looks totally natural

Barely noticeable which is fine except it was like a pink, orangey color where are you. I tried it once and missed the return date so I just threw it away. L’Oreal makes a brand of tanning cream that is 100% better than this

It really works. Love it spreads easy gives you a natural looking tan.

Sie ist gut aufzutragen und man bekommt ein super gleichmäßiges Ergebnis.

Facile da usare ed il risultato è decisamente buono. Se vuoi sembrare sempre in vacanza, usalo spesso, ti invidieranno. Lo consiglio

Me gusta mucho el aroma y textura

This is the second time I have bought this product and I am completely satisfied with it. It goes on well with no build up and leaves a natural looking tan.

Excellent produit que l'on ne retrouve plus en magasin .Donne un beau hale toute l'année,parfait pour le visage aussi.
