"I'm wearing the Drunk Elephant B-Goldie Bright Drops today as a primer, and I think it's a surprisingly pretty product. It [...] has some skincare ingredients in it, and honestly I quite like it as a highlighting product."

"Do we have that newest glow product? Oh yeah, the B-Goldi Bright Drops, those are nice, those actually really surprised me."

"It's just one universal kind of sheer gold color with a little bit of like a champagne hue in there as well. These are technically kind of meant to be mixed into your skin care but for the purpose of this video I kind of wanted to use it as a highlighter under the skin. The texture is really nice and lightweight and it's definitely giving the skin a ton of glow. It gives the skin a nice hydrated glow but there's not visible reflex in here I don't think. That's pretty."

TRYING TONS OF BRAND NEW MAKEUP 🤩

"These types of products I've actually been using quite a bit so I'm really excited to see how this one works. Look how pretty it's like a golden serum. I'm excited to see how this one works because I've been really enjoying the bronzer and the blush drops. I keep them upstairs in my skincare drawer because there's just days where I want a little something extra but I'm not quite in a makeup mood and those come in handy for those situations where I just want a little warmth added to the skin."

"They introduced this recent one, the B-Goldi Bright Drops, which is essentially again the same thing as the DE Bronzi serum except it's gold so you mix it in and it makes you look gold instead of bronze. I don't know who wants to look gold but they're kind of relying on their fans and sending out products for review because if you look at Sephora the brightening drops, the gold drops now have like 311 five star reviews of course it's all people that got the product for free."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
