this is what it says on the xen tan UK website
What’s the difference between Deep Bronze and Dark Lotion?
Both offer an Instant Colour, if you favour a deep 'Dark Olive' Instant Colour, then we would recommend the Dark Lotion, if you prefer a slightly lighter 'milk chocolate' instant colour (enough to see where the tan is going), leaving a light olive glow, that develops throughout the day or night then Deep Bronze is the better option for you.
As Dark Lotion contains Nut Oils, it is intensely moisturising and is a great option for those with very dry skin. If you are new to self-tanning, we would recommend you give Deep Bronze a try initially, as it blends on the skin completely effortlessly, and dries almost immediately. It really is personal preference, a lot of our clients use both and alternate, as they recognise the remarkable benefits of both products.
hope that helps!

Thanks for all the recs on this. I ordered some from hqhair.com yesterday with the code 'seven' which gives 20% off. With delivery it came to over £23 but then I read somewhere that lots of people in the UK get theirs from islandcosmetics.co.uk where the lotion is £20.49 including delivery all the time anyway - gutted!
I'm super pale, paler than NW15 I think, so will try to remember to do before and after pics when i put it on this weekend

in my honest opinion, i dont think i would bother getting deep bronze, it isnt as dark as the dark lotion so you may aswell get a gradual tanner for less than £10 than pay for a small bottle of the xen tan one that gives the same colour
i would get the dark lotion, ive heard good reviews about their mousse but the bottle is like half the size of the dark lotion so you get loads of product for the same price

I see what you mean, but I figured I'd get a smaller one to try out it's colour rather than be stuck with a huge bottle that makes me orange.
I got mine in the mail today! I'm trying it out on my leg now. Smells like chocolate!

Good to hear!
But I'm pale enough to have most products turn me into an oompa-loompa (or at least give me an unnatural skintone), so I didn't want to take any chances, haha!

Not too far off, but enough to make it look unnatural.
Are you wearing Xen tan in your avatar or is it a natural tan? Either way you look great!

Say Bye-Bye to those in between “pale” days that occur between self-tanning applications and Hello to a natural looking even colour that won’t fade away!
Perfect for those who love to self-tan and those who don’t (or those who don’t want to admit it, their secret is completely safe with Transform).
TRANSFORM doesn’t look…smell…or feel…like a self-tanner. With a delicious scent—designed to appeal to both women and men alike—and a weightless texture, you can tan without even thinking about it. Just apply it as you would your daily moisturiser.
Before you start to think of all those sticky, smelly gradual tanners and decide to stop reading, Transform is different. - It is a completely non-sticky lotion that smells yummy and feels like…nothing…on your skin. It allows you to build a beautiful realistic tan daily, without even remembering you are wearing a self-tanner. Even in the hottest conditions the lotion will never feel sticky or leave an awful odour on your skin. Most daily tanners require a week of applying before you can see any results.
Transform’s Innovative time-release formula is completely unique as you actually see results with your very first application.
it sounds pretty good
