Is this considered a pre-tanning lotion or an amplifier (or both)? Do I need to use an amplifier too?

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.

This product is a tanning accelerator that enhances tanning under the sun. Your skin will not change color when using this product without a light source

I don't use it as a tanning lotion but if you do tan, allways moisturize, you will get better color and soft skin if you cream-up everyday. this way, you don't have to use tanning products unless you want to. I use a bronzer once in a while. from Amazon of course. don't pay salon prices, they mark them up 3 times. find something you like and get it from Amazon.

It is not a self tanner, but is a bronzer that helps get a darker tan. You do need to use a tanning bed or real sun, however....it does NOT have sunscreen in it if you go out in real sun. Wonderful lotion though. I have used it for a few years.

It is for "Indoor" tanning. It is an accelerator, which means it is meant for speeding up the tanning process more then going with out. I believe a "tanning lotion: typically has a low level of sun block in it so you do not burn. I tan really well but know that it is proven to be beneficial to use any kind of lotion or accelerator to keep the moisture in your skin which keeps your tan longer. In addition to loving the smell of this one, I also like the fact that it does not have any "bronzers" in it which is almost getting harder and harder to find. Bronzers can leave streaks and tend to look yellow or fake, plus, if not washed off your hands properly, can leave you with weird yellow hands for a week! It is for "Indoor" tanning.

No, it's more like a toner/astringent replacement. Something you'd apply before a moisturizer.

No. At least from my experience you can't use it just as a lotion and get tan, it only works with indoor tanning beds.

I would start off with a lower bronzer like 25x then 40x first If your really pale. And then use this after about a month or even two of consistant tanning then you can do the 75x. You don't want it to look fake and as well as you could just burn. Hope I was able to help and good luck with your tan!!!!

It is a gel/serum. I use it alone at night instead of a moisturizer and my skin is GLOWING in the morning. If you need to moisturize, do it first, then use the serum.

I do. I try not to put it on right before I tan, But I have and it does nothing to my skin. It's pretty gentle and my skin is moderately sensitive.

I spent at least two days trying to tan my arms and face using this device and I noticed no measurable difference in skin tone nor did it lighten any tattoos. For that reason, I would not recommend using this on your skin but then again your experience may vary. There are probably better devices if you plan on using this on your skin. (PS...it's a class 2 laser - which i learned after a quick consultation with a friend named Google.)

It doesn't have any artificial tanners in it, if that is what you're wondering. It can definitely be used for both, and would probably help a sunless tan last longer being well-moisturized, but it doesn't provide any bronzers or anything to make you appear tanner.

Honestly, I would never put any tanning lotion on my face unless it's a facial tanning lotion. I have very sensitive skin and the lotion is so dense that it would break me out instantly. I have used a couple of facial tanning lotions and my favorite is the Designer Skin Luminary for Face Firming Bronzer Facial Tanning Lotion, it's wonderful (duh it's Designer Skin)!

Hmmm! It comes out brown and greasy, I've used it only when in the sun. So I guess an accelerator. It absorbs into the skin rather quickly. Have used it with and without additional sunscreen...still amazing.

For me, I have not used toner along with this. I wash my face in preparation, then dab it on mostly around my eyes, but any area with lines...then I take a little bit and smooth some more over my face....in a little while afterward, I apply a moisturizer with sunscreen in it. I really do love this and heard some good things on one of the televised "Doctor" shows...

I wouldn't reccomend getting tanning lotion online because the quality isnhe same as in store unfortunately, but getting it in store is so worth it! You can see and feel the difference in your tan and skin (:
