Pros: Gives you a nice subtle color or "glow". Easy to use.
Cons: For me the smell and it will stain fingers after repeated use, wash your hands.
The Bottom Line: This product does what is claims: moisturizes and creates a subtle glow for those that need color. If you can find it and pay around 6.00, buy it!

| tmt25's Full Review: Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer |
MY EXPERIENCE
..until my sister asked about the product I had been using to get a "healthy glow". I said to her, "oh it's this new Jergens product my mom gave me." "She had it on her bathroom counter and didn't like the way it smelled, so she said I could have it" My sister said, "oh I've been looking for that product and can't find it!" "I can find the medium tone, but not the fair tone and I've looked everywhere"
Her and I both have freckles and have skin cancer in our family, so we are apprehensive about too much sun exposure, but desperately want to get rid of the "white legs look" and "the ghostly appearance" in the summer. We both use to worship the summer growing up and we'd get a decent tan. But now, we are looking for products to help us get that tan that we so want. We've tried them all with different ranges of success, but still haven't found "the one" that will do what we want. This product comes close.
Well, I'm a sucker for trying new things, and I thought this is worth trying, what can I lose? It was free and worth a shot. The first day I used it like a regular moisturizer. I smoothed it on my legs, arms, face, chest and neck. I treated it like a lotion and didn't think too much about it changing my skin color. I used it several days and did notice a tint of change, a glow, like it says on the bottle.
So I continued to use it after bathing and then I noticed near my ring finger an orange tint in between that finger and my pinky. OH no, the dreaded orange hands! Then I read the directions and you are suppose to wash your hands after each use. Ah, so I started washing my hands and that disappeared. I was beginning to be very impressed with the color I was achieving. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like a bronzed beauty for me, just a brownish glow, like I had been in the sun, yet it looked like I hadn't over done it with self tanners either.
I did get comments on my skin and asked if I had been to the beach or where was I tanning. And I said, "none of them, I'm just using Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer."
THE PRODUCT
New Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer is in a stand up tube. It feels like a lotion and works like a lotion. The lotion is white and creamy. It does have an odor, but it's not offensive to me and wears off quickly. The product label states, "creates a healthy, summer glow all year long just by moisturizing". "Designed for Fair Skin Tones with essential moisturizers and a subtle skin darkening complex". It comes is a 7.5 Fl. oz (221 ml). It also comes in a "medium skin tone" also.
On the back of the tube is gives you a visual about how the skin will change. Starting point-After several days-and after one week. It shows you the color you can expect to achieve. Then the bottle states-"Moisturize into the glow. Designed specifically for fair skin tones, Jergens natural glow daily moisturizer delivers the optimum amount of naturally glowing color to even out and enrich the appearance of your skin."
DIRECTIONS
For best results, use daily. Smooth on evenly, allowing several minutes to dry prior to dressing. Wash your hands after application. You will begin to see a subtle development of color within several days.

COST
Of course I told you mine was free, so I'm not sure of the price. From reading other articles, it sounds like you can pay anywhere between 4-10 dollars. .
WEBSITE-www.jergens.com-
Also it is selling at Ebay. www.ebay.com. http://search.ebay.com/Jergens-Natural-Glow_Health-Beauty_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQsacatZ26395. Price vary from 5.99 to 5 tubes for 50.00.
THOUGHTS BASED ON THE WEBSITE INFORMATION
You might wonder how to find out which skin tone you are so that you will know which one to buy, the website suggests to use the one closest to your foundation color or check the color on the inside of your arm.
I use the product all over and on my face and the website stated it is safe to use all over but warns not to get it into your eyes. I just slap it on and I'm not one for rubbing it in really well and I haven't had any streaks that I have noticed.
I have noticed that the color will fade if you do not use it often. The website states it will fade after a couple of days if you discontinue using the product and will completely fade within 2 weeks. I found that it does fade a little faster that 2 weeks.
If you are looking for a dark tan, this is not the product for you. This product will give you about a shade darker than you skin is now, but it will not give you the deep dark tan from tanning (either in the sun or tanning beds). And this is stated in the website information.
And those of you that are concerned about products being tested on animals, well you do not have to worry, this company does not test this product on animals.
FINAL REMARKS
This is a product I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something that is like a moisturizer, yet gives you some color. It is a natural looking color. It is easy to use. I like the way tube stands up and has a flip top for convenience. It doesn't come out too fast and has a very good consistency. I'm not too fond of the smell, however that disappears quickly. It doesn't stain my clothes and does dry quickly. This products does what it claims.
