Very good DS lotion, I am not certain I would go so far as to say plateau breaking.. It is actually quite lite in color, but seems to have a pretty good intensifier, for a more natural dark tan, the smell is actually better, { IMO ] than most of DS other lotions, It does give a really even tan, and color does continue to develop for a few hrs after tanning, I do recommend, I am pretty dark, olive skin tone. Someone with fairer skin will probably get best results.
