Maui Island SecretBurn to Brown Formula 8 Oz. 1pack

This product is one of those ones that should be labeled as a 'holy grail'. An absolute miracle in a bottle for sunburns. My husband, two sons & myself just came back from a trip to Marco Island, FL where we gravely underestimated the intensity of the sun our 1st day there. Especially w/our 10 yr old, who despite slathering spf 50 on him, still suffered an intense burn. We all did actually, but he got it the worst w/blistering (complete Mom fail moment). We ran to the local Walgreens & bought it all; Bacitracine/Emergency Burn Gel/Lidocaine spray/Aloe Vera gel/SunBum after Sun relief - NONE of it was budging the pain on any of us. By Day 3 I went to Google to search any remedy & stumbled upon this product. After reading the ingredient list & noticing it's one of the only products that didn't have water listed as the first ingredient I figured we had nothing else to lose. I searched every local store on the island & nowhere sold it so thanks to Amazon's next day delivery, to anywhere that I am, I had it in hand the next day.We had to apply w/cotton balls using the slightest possible touch. It almost has a stinging affect at first, which feels like it could go really bad, but that quickly turns to giving the skin a cooling affect which I assume is the menthol. My boys are 13 & 10 & immediately went to saying it wasn't working but all I noticed was how within 10-15 min after the first application they were both up moving around w/fairly good ease. I had my husband put it on my back burn - if you're burnt bad enough anything touching you is agony so I won't say it gives an instant contact of relief. But I WILL say that after applying the product twice in the first day, we were all able to get a full nights sleep & I can confirm that our burns were officially turned to brown skin overnight. The pain was still there the next day but another day of applying this product & it was over. It's truly amazing.I will tell EVERYONE about this. How its not being sold in all of the stores in areas of immense heat like Florida is beyond me but if you're prone to burn, or even if you're not but will be outside this summer, BUY THIS!!! It's worth it!

Discovering Maui Island Secret’s Burn to Brown Formula was like finding a soothing oasis in the midst of our sun-drenched adventures. This product isn’t just another after-sun lotion; it’s a cooling balm for those days when the sun has been less than kind.Key Features:Cooling Sensation: The immediate relief it provides is nothing short of magical. The cooling effect is especially appreciated after a long day under the sun.Reapplication: It’s important to note that while it offers great relief, it does require reapplication, particularly if you’re dealing with a severe burn.Not a Sunscreen Substitute: This formula is for after-sun care, so make sure to use a good sunscreen during your day out to protect your skin.Experience: My fiancée absolutely adores this formula. It’s become her go-to for post-sun care, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it as well. Having had a history of allergic reactions to aloe, I was hesitant at first. However, this formula has been kind to my skin, providing a cool, soothing sensation without any adverse reactions. While this is my personal experience and may not apply to everyone, it’s certainly been a welcome addition to our skincare routine.Conclusion: If you’re looking for an after-sun product that provides a refreshing, cooling sensation and helps turn that burn to a more bearable brown, Maui Island Secret’s formula is worth considering. Just remember, it’s not a stand-in for sunscreen, but it’s an excellent follow-up to a day spent basking in the glory of the sun.

My worst sunburn of the season was too bad for this although maybe it would have worked if I did it right when I got burnt but I had to order it first haha. Smell is good and it feels really nice. I like it more than the drugstore aloe!

As a pale person who normally sports 100+ spf sunscreen, this gel saved my life this year after I felt bolt enough to try and tan. I usually burn, peel, and then am more pale. But I put this directly on my burn and I actually tanned!! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my new tan since i’ve always been so pale. I recommend this to all my pale friends and family members haha.

Smells good and does turn your red to brown. Need to still use a moisturizer though

I first use this when I went to Maui and got really burnt somebody on the island suggested I buy burned to Brown. I tried it then it felt amazing. It worked great this year. I decided to tan again burnt really bad ordered burnt brown used it. it felt wonderful it was soothing. I didn’t peel, and my tan is gorgeous

This is the best aloe vera product I have ever used. It works well and turns your sunburn to tan and it also has the best scent. It is very hydrating.

I got a pretty substantial burn and within 24 hours, it was completely tan where it normally would've taken almost a week. I am very fair skinned with red hair so I was pleasantly surprised that this actually worked. It did clog the pores on my face a bit so I broke out but my face is also very sensitive.

This stuff works great. Very soothing after too much time in the sun.

I like to product. Worked good for bug bites. ( stops the itch) But for the price Canadians have to pay.Not worth it.

I ordered to see what it would be like since it had great reviews. However, got it in and read the ingredients on the bottle. Absolute trash. All but a few ingredients are actually okay for you to put on your body. Returning as I wouldn’t put this on myself or my kids. Toxic.
