Pros: Gets your skin tan easily
Cons: rubs off on clothes, sticky, sits on your skin, doesn't absorb
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this product if you are looking for a real moisturizer or have a problem with lotions that feel sticky and tacky.

| jessicarbt's Full Review: Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer |
I took a chance and decided to purchase a container after reading the label. My face could use a freshly bronzed look.
The product label says "Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer". It claims to take about one week of daily use to create a healthy summer glow all year round just by moisturizing. It comes in three levels of darkening. Fair, medium and dark skin tones. The tube is 2.5 Fl Oz. The label says the product is dermatologist tested, oil free, non-comedogenic and light weight.
The directions instruct you to use daily instead of your normal moisturizer. You are supposed to "smooth on evenly over freshly washed skin", "allowing several minutes to dry".
This product looks like a white lotion when you are applying it, but the feel on your skin is sticky. I decided to give it a few minutes to soak in, or "dry" as they say on the label, many lotions go on your skin feeling sticky or too slick but absorb in. It does not feel "light weight".
This product does not absorb in. My face stayed sticky and slick feeling as if the product was sitting on top of my skin. I used the product for a week, trying different amounts of product each time, thinking I was using too much.
My face did indeed begin to look beautifully tanned. Matter of fact, by the first evening, I noticed my skin was faintly darker.
There is a smell That reminded me of baked goods, a slightly sweet smell, not offensive but the smell does linger all day. If you are bothered by smells, sniff it before putting it on your skin since it's going to stay with you all day.
However, the feel of the product on my skin made me shudder every time I thought about it. I do not wear make up, and I am not sure how anyone would be able to apply make up over this product because this product is sitting on top of your skin. It reminds me of the feel of a "masque" product that is designed to stay on top of your skin.
My clothes were stained from coming into contact with this product. I noticed the problem when I used my napkin, product came off on the napkin.
I will not purchase it again and I will be throwing this tube away. I have used other self tanners in the past and they did not leave this nasty slick feeling.
