Bronzers and intensifiers have basically opposite results. They will both make you tan, but in different ways. Intensifiers have ingredients that will make your skin produce melanin faster and darker while you tan, so you can get a deeper, natural tan with an intensifier. Bronzers just have pigments in them that will stain the skin brown so you look more tan while you are building your skin's natural tan. It all depends on how fast you want to be dark.
