Just out of curosity, did you buy the fair or medium shade? Medium is what I can't find.

Even the media's picked up on this! From today's New York Times:

Lars Klove for The New York Times

With beach holidays in the offing, drugstores are running out of Jergens's new Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer, which has spawned a nationwide waiting list. The moisturizer ($5.99), which comes in two formulas, for fair or medium skin types, works as a gradual tanner. The waiting list can be found at www.jergens.com.

This is so crazy - have you guys ever seen anything like this?!

laken1 · Hermes

I can't find medium either. I found fair at 3 local stores, Walmart, Kroger (most surprisingly), & CVS, but I can't find medium either. Sigh.

I really didn't care all that much at first because I am already naturally dark anyway, but now that I can't find it the whole thing is driving me nuts. I figure if everybody else wants it then I must have it too - isn't that insane??? If everyone is like me, then this is why there is a waiting list.

Did anyone put in your info for that Jergens link? I listed my email & they said they would let me know, but I never entered zip code info - I guess it is possible that I have enrolled there previously, but I sure don't remember if I did. So how do they know where I live?

And according to this, you won't be able to until Jergens restocks it! Go to the link I posted and sign up for the waiting list - they will email you when it's back in stores.

They are selling some on ebay if you guys are interested.

Someone please tell me what is so great about this stuff? I currently use lancome and i really like it, although b/c i have dry skin, it comes off unevenly if i dont apply it for a few days. Is the Jergen Natural Glow really so great--why?

Here's why I really like it so much - because it's a lotion w/a hint of self tanner, so it's very natural looking and very gradual. Also, I have had no streaking or blotchiness and it doesn't smell like a lot of self tanners do to me. I just like that it moisterizes as well as tans, but I'm sure there are other tanners out there just as good if not better. I think it's something new so everyone has to try it right now. It's the latest thing. And I'm the same way as Laken1 - because it's sold out everywhere, I have to have it even more!

dot · Marc Jacobs

this is so insane. i have been using my current bottle sparingly (i'm already down to less than half) and fear i will never find another!

sweater girl · BCBG

I'm having the opposite problem...I can find the medium, but I want the fair. I might be able to use the medium in the summer time, but right now I'm so pasty white I want the fair. Ughhhh!

laken1 · Hermes

I found it in both shades & posted on ebay. I figure if some people are paying $20 I'll take some shoes money, thank you very much. Some people are paying upwards of $28 a tube - that's just ridiculous. I started them at $6.99 for 1 or $9.99 for 2. Just fyi

My link is in the ebay thread.

I made the ultimate sacrifice and went to Wal-mart

And I got the last two tubes, one in fair and one in medium. Phew. I can relax now.......

medium is all they had (and they had about 6 bottles)... i have used it for 2 days now and i can really tell a difference! i this!

i am going to check back to see if they are out of it yet, and if so, i am going to continue to look for it so that i have another bottle before the other one runs out.

well, i am sucked in -- all this hype has made me think i must buy this product! i am very pale so it will be the fair shade for me. i used to use something from prescriptives for your legs called magic potion or something like that, but it was a wash-off product and they don't seem to make it anymore, so this will be better.

I am very very pale and i use the medium shade. the fair didn't do much at all for me.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

thanks, that is helpful info. now i start my mission to find and buy it!

member · Hermes

I am so HAPPY! My aunt just called and said she found 3 bottles of this in Medium at Walmart!! I can't believe it - I thought I'd never find it again!

Try Ulta they had it at the store here in both shades. They may also have it online at Ulta.com, but I haven't checked there.
