Overview
A 6 ounce bottle of self-tanning lotion, Australian Gold's A40177 is built to develop a medium deep bronze tone over an 8 hour cure window. The formula is aluminum free, sold under Australian Gold's Fade Defy Technology line for a gradual, even fade.
Self-tanners live or die on cure time and color depth, and this one is specified at 8 hours to full development and a medium deep result rather than a light or ultra dark shade. That makes it a mid-range choice, darker than a gradual daily lotion but not the deepest tone Australian Gold sells. New packaging, same formula, per the listing.
- 6 fl oz bottle
- 8 hour full cure time
- Medium deep skin tone result
- Aluminum free formula
Who it's for
Suits buyers who want a medium deep sunless tan and can commit to an 8 hour cure before showering or dressing in light colors. Not the pick for anyone wanting a very light, barely there tint.
Pros and cons
- Medium deep bronze result
- Aluminum free formula
- Hydrating and softening benefits listed
- 6 ounce size in a single bottle
- 8 hour cure time before it can be washed off
- Only one tone (medium deep) offered
- Scent is tanner-specific, not fragrance-free
Performance notes
The lotion's tanning process needs the full 8 hour cure window listed to reach its medium deep result, so color builds gradually rather than appearing right after application. Fade Defy Technology is aimed at making that color fade evenly as skin cells turn over, rather than patching or streaking.
