Olay Radiance - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I was just interested in hearing about others' experiences with this product. I've used Jergen's Natural Glow (a sister product to Radiance), and I like it, but it's been out of stock everywhere I looked since I got my first bottle. For now, I'm going to use Neutrogena's sunless tanner for my face since the color develops faster than Jergen's, and you don't have to use as much. My body is tan from being outside (yes I do use SPF 30!), so I think I'm going to save the Jergen's for the cooler seasons when I want a little color. I'm also interested in Olay Radiance, because there has been plenty of it on the shelves, and I may never see Jergen's again! At least, not until the popularity wears off. I saw that a poster on the Jergen's thread prefers Olay because of the smell. Anyone else try it?

LeeLee,

I just picked up a bottle of it today. I don't believe its supposed to get you as dark as Jergens, but I can never get my hands on the stuff. Olay Radiance does have a nice light smell that disappears quickly, though...a definite plus considering the heavy smell of some self tanners (haven't smelled Jergens Natural Glow myself).

I just got the Jergens Natural Glow and it smells very, very nice at first but after a couple hours, the smell is just putrid. I can't stand it! Sure, I'll have a tan, but no one is gonna want to come within 10 feet of me! How is the Olay Radiance after a couple hours? Does it smell after several hours of application?

There is no gross smell at all, it smells like regular lotion. A few hours after applying, what little smell there was has almost completely dissapated.

I have both....i bought olay radiance because I could not find Jergans anywhere. I eventually found Jergans and bought it, but I cant stand the smell. It smells like a self tanner. Olay radiance has such a nice smell so I have been using that more.
