I've only tried the "Original Herbal Body Moisturizer" 17 fl.oz. Is this the same formula to refill or does after tan mean it is a different formula?

Hi, This seems to be the same formula. It is marvelous on dry skin, not just if you have been in a sun bed.Would recommend it as a moisturizer cream.

It seems to be the same as the 17 oz container. It's just cheaper buying it by the gallon and refilling the 17 oz one.

I don't think that after tan means a different formula.....with my experience it's all the same. Hope I answered your question.

I don't know why the heading says after tan. This is the original HEMP lotion

I tan pretty easily but I really love this lotion. I've gone tanning twice the past few days using Luminary and I'm already like 3-4 shades darker, it's insane!

Not completely sure what a body moisturizer is? This is a lotion so you shouldn't need anything else :) and it's Hempz so it's thick. You could get it and try it out. Maybe even a sample/travel size. If it for some reason doesn't work get a body butter. In my opinion, you're more than fine though :) This stuff makes your skin super soft

I don't know bc I only used one of the 3 Bottles I bought. I'm Hispanic and tan very easy but this tanning lotion did absolutely nothing!!! I went to Ed Hardy and LOVE it.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

Michael I thought the Same thing. I'm an active user of indoor tanning and after a month with this lotion I felt my results were very poor. Everyone has raved about how well this lotion works so I was disappointed when it didn't work, leaving me to believe maybe I had received an "imposter" lotion. Also I had the lotion for 18 months before using it so perhaps it has expired. I did buy another bottle in hopes it proves me wrong.

You do have to be careful when buying lotion online Bc it's very easy to fill it with any kind of lotion. but the one I received was real. I even tried out the packet at the tanning salon before I used the bottle. Same product.

If they're very new you probably shouldn't be going tanning.. but I didn't use it long enough to find out the bottle I received was expired. Although the lotion I'm using now which is called black by designer skin seems to be working well. my tattoos havent faded and you can see great color results after one session. Hope this helps!

I bought this last winter. Since then, I tried a few other lotions that were on sale. This one by far gave me a much bronzer look without looking orange. I got a beautiful dark color right away from the product and will be going back to this lotion for my next order. I know tanning businesses will tell you not to buy online because the products could be expired but I have yet to experience a poor tanning lotion product from buying online. I have been very happy and will gladly spend a fraction of the cost for just as equal of a gorgeous result. I hope this helped!

You only apply it before. After tanning, you should apply regular lotion (like Nivea) to keep your skin hydrated and have your tan longer.

I used to buy this at Sephora, then they stopped selling it...I assumed all the formulas were the same, and ordered from Amazon. The Fiberwig with the silver top did nothing for my lashes and I ended up looking like I wasn't wearing mascara (scary), although it does a great job of staying on. I'm now realizing that there seem to be different formulas, and the one I fell in love with at Sephora has the copper top and says something on the front about "painted on false lashes". I think it's called beautinizer although it doesn't say that on the packaging. I don't know why the company doesn't explain the differences better. With this order, I hope I get what I used to buy at Sephora.

This is only a tan extender, meaning to keep your skin soft and to rejuvenate moisture after tanning. I recommend "Smile! You're darker" tanning lotion for people who have a base tan already, or any designer skin product that is a tan accelerator.

The girl where I tan said the same thing! I think it's because they don't want to lose money and have you buy it in their salon. Mine was sealed and exactly like the lotion sold in stores so I am saying yes it is absolutely legit! I love this lotion and it works better than any I have ever used and for a price that's WAY better than 120.00 in salons I will use it all the time!

Not a chemist myself, but I just purchased a 2nd bottle- am quite pleased- not as harsh as the old Retin-A tube product was. I use it first after washing, then wait, then moisturizer. I'm 55 and was just told by a friend of mine who just had his 47th that he had assumed I was no older than 40 or so.

I have had the Millennium products for 2 years, and I have NEVER had an issue about the product watering down or just simply not working, because "it was too old". I just love their products and the bronzing formulas are awesome. You can notice in one session that you got dark. Looks like the most recent purchase of Black & Tan tanning lotion has an expiration of 2/2017. Quite honestly though, if I happen to still have this same bottle after that; I would continue to use it. A super product!!

Yes very good starter lotion. I love that I don't get burnt. I love tingle factors because I have a hard time tanning and that normally burns you . This one has more bronzers. So I don't burn. I tan quicker because of the bronzers. I noticed a difference on 2nd time going of how dark I was. Definitely good and smells good too.

It depends on how dark you want it, the good thing is you can see the color right away when you spray. For me, I get about 3 full body tans in one bottle and I like to be dark. It also lasts for a good amount of time.
