Self Tanning Concentrate Collistar Magic Drops for Body & Legs Self Tanning Concentrate

This is probably the best self-tanning product I have tried. This summer, I couldn't get a tan from the sun, so this product saved me. It gives a very natural shade, spreads easily, and is difficult to get streaks (although it may require careful blending). I apply a moisturizing lotion first, then this product. It fades gradually and evenly.

"This is a wonderful addition to their face tanning drops. Just like with the face, I apply it with body lotion - it looks very natural and beautiful."

Great self-tanner! I mix it with my body lotion and it applies smoothly on the skin without streaks. The product also doesn't have the artificial self-tanner smell, which is another huge plus.

Note: I and my two friends bought this product. I am writing this review on behalf of all of us. I am giving one star for the color - the color is gorgeous. It gives a natural tan. Now, onto the CONS: the main issue is that it clogs the pores on the body! Hands, chest - the pores are clogged, it's comedogenic!!! (All three of us experienced this, not just me. We bought it at the same time and shared our impressions.) The second downside is that it leaves STAINS (My two self-tanners, which cost 200-400 hryvnias, do not do this - they fade evenly from the entire body. This product, on the other hand, makes your body look like you have a rash after only 3-4 days! It also dries out the skin! So, what is the price for this product? It also stains clothes throughout its use!!! (My Polish self-tanner even keeps light-colored clothes light inside! Beddings stay white. After using this product, all my clothes had yellow seams the entire summer! The scent is terrible, it smells for a whole day, just like the 300 hryvnia self-tanners! It is not economical - I mixed it with lotion (for a lighter shade) and applied it pure for a more intense color, but it doesn't last long. I absolutely do not recommend it! It only serves one purpose - to give a beautiful color for a couple of days. That's it. I have tried over 5 self-tanners, and this one was the most expensive and horrible due to the clogged pores on my hands and chest, and the stained clothes and beddings!

I really like this self-tanner, especially when applied to the face, neck, and décolletage. However, it is not very economical to use on the body, and it is not very convenient to apply it all over. The price is a bit steep as well. It has a slight smell, but when applied and left overnight, it washes off well in the morning with shower gel, and the smell is gone. It washes off quickly from the body, but oddly enough, it stays on the neck and face for a long time (it washes off very quickly). If we compare it to Bali body, for example, that one washes off in patches and has a stronger smell, but it lasts longer, I would choose this self-tanner.

The only self-tanner that doesn't clog my pores. It applies like any other bronzer - if you rush and don't blend it properly, there will be streaks. I apply it with a self-tanning mitt. The shade is nice, natural, without any orange undertones. I will definitely order it again, it's worth the money.

I use it with cream, and it applies beautifully. It looks natural on very fair skin, without any visible spots or streaks. It does not clog pores. Definitely worth the money.

I have been using this product for 2 months, not alone, but with my friends. There are four of us, including me. The self-tanner clogs the pores on my skin and causes closed pimples. I have noticed that the pores on my chest have become more visible. The self-tanner also stains clothes, although less than cheaper alternatives. However, white items turn yellow, but luckily, I can remove the stains with bleach. I also want to mention that it dries out my skin, despite the manufacturer's promise of moisturization. After using it, my skin remains dry for about 5 more days, similar to after a sunburn, so I have to constantly moisturize it with lotions. Without them, it feels very uncomfortable. As for the application convenience, it is easy to apply without streaks or patches. It absorbs quickly and completely, allowing me to go to sleep without worrying about waking up with streaks. It provides a nice tan shade with just one application. It washes off evenly, which is important.

I have tried Dove and Garnier, both of them are super dark. The first one was just yellow-brick and washed off in patches. The second one was mega dark and developed overnight. I went to drink water 4 hours later and there was no tan, but in the morning, I was tanned, about 5 shades darker with a slightly brick-like color. But Kolistar is love.

Cons: Price, the color is quite pale after the first application, and it fades quickly.

Pros: The color is chocolate, absolutely without any yellow or orange undertones. It applies perfectly, the consistency is like a face serum, it glides smoothly and blends well. It fades evenly without any patches, the color simply fades away. It doesn't clog pores or cause irritation. The tan starts to develop in just an hour, even less - a light color starts to show in 10 minutes, and the main tan is visible in the morning.

I'll share some application secrets for those who have difficulties with it:
1. Moisturize your skin at least 3 days before applying.
2. Before applying, cover your elbows and knees with a thick cream, also the sides of your heels and feet.
Apply the product wearing latex gloves, start from the feet and move upwards, always blending the excess on the feet and fingers, rubbing it thoroughly until it's completely dry. Always make sure it's completely dry!
I clean my hands with a damp sponge, initially moistened with any moisturizing cream, to achieve a smooth transition on the fingers and edges of the hand. You can also do the same for your feet to ensure there are no clear boundaries.
I have never had any streaks or spots, just an even shade. If you have issues with application, you might be rushing and not applying the product correctly, leaving a layer on the skin. Everything should be applied before fully absorbed. It takes me about 25 minutes for the whole body.
3. I apply it on my face with any serum.
4. I avoid applying it on my knees and elbows, I use the excess from rubbing it on my legs and arms, respectively. This way, these areas don't absorb too much color and won't be the darkest. As for scrub, I can't say anything, but if your skin is dry, exfoliate a few days before and moisturize thoroughly on other days.

I am disappointed. Once I bought a facial concentrate from the same brand and everything was excellent. In this case, it is just sitting unused because it applies horribly. Streaks, spots, smudges. Ugh. Either the product itself is not fresh or this particular series is not what I need. I tried to adjust, tried it four times, but there are still streaks no matter how hard I try. Ugh.
