I love the original formula, but this one is sooo streaky and doesn’t wear well at all. I had high hopes. It also WILL transfer to alll white or lighter clothing no matter how many days it’s been since you’ve showered it off

Only tan I have ever used that lasted 1.5 weeks at the beach with no patchiness!!! It’s a gorgeous color.

NOT INCENTIVIZED (Stating that due to the reviews at the top stating all of the good reviews must be incentivized) I've been an avid self-tanner for well over a decade. I've legitimately tried them all and tried them in various ways. Before discovering Dolce Glow (last year) my go-to's were Loving Tan Platinum and Norvelle Venetian (I'd but the professional spray tan solution and put in a foaming dispenser). No other brand was ever able to give my ridiculously fair skin a natural looking tan. Until Dolce. What sets this apart from the others for me is a few things: 1) The gradual fade. It doesn't leave large, blotchy areas when it fades and the others always have on me. 2) The dry down. It dries fast and doesn't transfer while marinating in it. Even at night. If it's a hot day and I'll be wearing this, I use their tan setting powder on areas prone to sweat to lock it in. Zero issues. 3) The color. It's perfection. I use the ultra dark in the summer/early fall months and the medium the rest of the year. Like with all self-tanners, PREP is the most important part of the application. If you aren't exfoliating/shaving/stripping the skin completely before applying - you're going to get streaks. Same as you would going for a spray tan. Higher end self-tanner formulations don't cause streaks, poor PREP and application does.Because I know this, I've probably tried 20 brands of self tanner and only had one streak on me. Ever. Give this a try, you won't be disappointed. And if you are, Sephora has an amazing return policy.

This is the streakiest tan I have ever tried. From years of self tanning, my hopes were high with this one based on the ratings. Drys way too fast you can’t even blend it in. Literally takes 30 seconds and it won’t move. It’s patchy it’s unevem, horrible formula

This review was not sponsored or incentivized. I purchased this product after reading the reviews on this page. It is highly unlikely that even 80% of these reviews are from individuals who purchased this product with their own money, as it is the worst self-tanner I have ever used. I typically use St. Tropez Express (the blue bottle) and thoroughly enjoy it. After reviewing all the reviews on Dolce Glow, I decided to try this product this time. My honest thoughts: - Color: Orange - Stay Power: Only lasts until you rinse it off for the first time in the shower. Initially, it appears dark, but after rinsing, you only have 2% of the desired tan. After your next shower, you have no self-tanner left on your body. - Application: Blotchy and inconsistent - Wears off on clothes. Even after a body shower, it wore off on my white tank top. Truly, I cannot believe all the reviews on this page and would return this product if it were not past the 30-day return window. I am currently on vacation in Bali and am even more upset with the product as I self-tanned the day before I arrived. My white tank top, which I wore on the plane, is completely ruined. I went to the beach today and now have no self-tanner color left on my body. The hype surrounding this product is not worth it.

Dolce Glow 2-Hour Express Self-Tanning Mousse in Ultra Dark is honestly one of the best self-tanners I’ve tried. The formula is lightweight, easy to blend, and gives a flawless, streak-free finish. I love how quickly it develops—within just a couple hours I had a deep, natural-looking tan that wasn’t orange at all. It fades evenly and doesn’t leave patchiness, which is a huge plus. The scent is also much lighter compared to other self-tanners. Perfect for when you want a rich, bronzed glow fast. Definitely a staple in my routine!

I was really excited about this product, especially after reading all of the great reviews. I have used many different kinds of self-tanner and was pretty disappointed with the results of Dolce Glow. It seemed to take a bunch of product to get it on my skin evenly and didn’t seem to absorb very well either, despite letting it dry and then waiting overnight before showering. Most of it appeared to wash off. There is also definitely a yucky self-tanner scent that clung to my skin even after showering. I really wanted to love this one!

I absolutely love love love the color- it's very natural and actually dark like I need. But I work outside and around water alot (whether in the garden or doing dishes) and this did not hold up. So it does work great as long as you don't plan to be around water.

I’m genuinely impressed with the Dolce Glow 2-Hour Express Tanning Mousse. It gives the most natural-looking glow I’ve tried—never orange, never streaky, just a smooth, sun-kissed finish. The formula feels lightweight and blends effortlessly, and I love that I can control how deep the tan gets depending on how long I leave it on. Plus, it develops quickly (perfect for busy days) and still leaves my skin feeling hydrated instead of dry. It’s easily become my go-to for a flawless, last-minute tan.

For fair skin, this was a hard pass. It definitely lives up to the long-lasting claim—almost too well, because once it’s on, it’s difficult to remove. It clung badly to dry areas like my hands, ankles, knees, and elbows, even with proper prep, making them look uneven and patchy. The “ultra dark” claim didn’t deliver either; even after two applications and sleeping in it, the color barely showed and my legs still looked pale. The mousse is lightweight and blends easily without streaks, but the payoff just isn’t there for lighter skin tones. Overall, more frustrating than flattering, and not something I’d repurchase.
