Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer line off & on (mostly on) for several years, in the "Fair" shade, and have very much enjoyed the product. Even my dermatologist said it looked natural. But now they've reformulated. You can no longer get "Fair," which has been replaced by "Fair to Medium."
I called Jergens and the representative was very helpful. She said that the "Fair to Medium" probably would be somewhat darker than "Fair." Turns out that's true. It definitely goes on darker, to a shade that's kinda fun, but is unnatural for me. (And I'm fair, but nowhere near pasty white.) Plus, it accentuates my age spots. Not only that, but over a day after I applied the lotion, I showered, and found darkish streaks on my pale yellow towels, which did not happen with the "Fair" shade. (Same towels, reformulated lotion).
The bottom line is that the "Fair to Medium" shade Natural Glow Moisturizer is, in my opinion, not a gradual tanner but a self-tanner. The thing with the age spots and towel "staining" (am confident it will come out easily in the washer, but it just doesn't look that great hanging on the towel bar) is characteristic of full-strength self-tanners.
It seems like lots of products are being reformulated "these days," and are not necessarily improved as a result. At least this reformulation is easier to live with than the recent one with my hair color (hint, hint, Miss Clairol Professional), but that is a totally different story.
Anyhow, you "Medium" skin tones might want to give this product a try. "Fair" tones probably want to consider another product, unless you'd be happy with a conventional self-tanner. I noticed that L'Oreal still has a "Fair" shade in their gradual-color moisturizer, and it's on Amazon. (I have not seen it in local drugstores). I plan to try that next.
