Perricone MD No Sun Tanner

The Claim: This gradual glow-getter uses pro-vitamin D for a sunny look that builds over one or two weeks, while cocoa butter and kukui oil hydrate. But it was a different ingredient that caught our eye. Caffeine, included to firm, tighten, and tone skin (bye-bye, cellulite?).

The Truth: "It felt rich going on, and I can't imagine anyone not liking the scent," the tester explained. True to its description, it imparted color over seven to fourteen days—not immediately. "I think this would be a great addition to someone's everyday regime, but if you're looking to put something on the in the morning and walk out the door with sun-kissed legs, this isn't for you."
