"This is Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops. This was the first bronzing drop I ever tried, and it certainly showed me how much I love this type of product, but I have four other versions now in different formats and I reach for those more, so this one is definitely a pass."

☀️ Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops | Demo | Skin Obsessed Mary

"I think this has given me a really good tan and I'm really going to enjoy using this and sometimes nothing else, I have nothing else on my face, no makeup of any kind, just my skin, my glow and these two products. I actually really like it, I think it's fantastic and I am going to be using it more. I'm really glad I bought it and I can guarantee you I'm going to be using it particularly during the winter months when I can start to look a bit pale and pasty."

The Elephant Has Left the House - What Happened to Drunk Elephant and Inspiration in Skincare?!?

"The D-Bronzi, where they called it the anti-pollution sunscreen drops which you mix into a moisturizer, gives you a bit of a bronze glow. It was a good idea, it's been done a lot, but then they put some skin loving ingredients in there and it did really well."

Why Are There So Many Beauty Brands- What's The Difference & Why Are Doctors Doing YouTube?!!

"Drunk Elephant, they've got in my opinion a good brand reputation. Why is this more expensive than Pacifica? Pacifica they're more known for fast makeup, they release new stuff all the time, they're looked at as a lower price point. Honestly if you mix these two in my different products I probably won't be able to tell the difference. But Drunk Elephant has a reputation, they've done a great job with their marketing."

"I know that one before they changed the packaging. It does give a nice kind of a glow. I mean you can mix this in with a foundation if you want you can mix it with your moisturizer you can mix in with a serum. I don't recommend mixing in with your sunscreen but anything else you can mix it in with."

"This is a bronzing drop that you can combine into your skin care if you want to add a little bit of warmth. You can mix it into makeup if you'd like to. This is what honestly set the trend for all the bronzing drops that you see. It's a great product and at 50% off, I truly feel like it might be something to keep your eyes on or pick up if you've wanted to try this for a long time."

Trying The New 'Dupes-Only' Makeup Brand... THIS IS INSANE!

"The product looked very very beautiful on the skin. The more gel formula felt really nice, so I do feel like this one is a good one if you wanted to try something from this brand. I'm just not really a humongous bronzer drop kind of a gal. I mean I do have the originals and I do think they're really nice products, but for me personally I don't feel like I'm going to go through these in addition to these. So I wouldn't say that's a need for me personally, but overall I feel like the product was pretty good."

"I find that it's going to take too much. So much of the product for it to show up on my skin. And this is an itty bitty little bottle here. You can mix it with other things like you can mix it in with a moisturizer, a body butter, body oil, or something like that. I probably wouldn't mix it in with your sunscreen because you really shouldn't be mixing anything into your sunscreen because it could affect the performance of your sunscreen. If you want to wear sunscreen with it, you put these on first and then put your sunscreen on top of it."

"Drunk Elephant received two notices in December 2024 alleging that their D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with peptides contained DEA but did not have the proper warning labels that should have been provided to consumers. While DEA isn't carcinogenic itself, it's thought to interact with other ingredients, maybe certain preservatives, to create something called nitrosamines which are recognized as potential carcinogens. It's a potential irritant. However, they need to stick to the laws where the law says they can't use it. And I mentioned this previously just a few months ago. In November of 2024, Drunk Elephant voluntarily recalled specific batches of three of their products due to an ingredient mix up during production. I believe they mixed up preservatives with surfactants."

Reviewing WEIRD AF *Viral* Beauty Products

"I just feel like all my creases are orange. [...] There's like orange bits in my beard. [...] If I could have applied that on its own at certain points, I feel like it would have been less patchy and I could have got a more even coverage if I dotted it on my face rather than mixed it in the top of a moisturizer. Or maybe this is just the reason I don't like any kind of fake tan or like bronzing anything because I feel like it makes my skin look patchy. I don't think it looks bad. I just don't think it looks much different. I guess I don't get the hype. [...] Overall, I'm not impressed. I'm not unimpressed. I feel like everything was just a bit meh. Worth the money? Maybe not."

"I don't add them to your sunscreen to tint the sunscreen because adding things to sunscreens like these bronzing drops can actually mess up the overall formulation and ultimate protection. I do not get the hype with those. I also tried out they have like a pink drop that's supposed to be like a little blush and I again I didn't find either product to be very useful from Drunk Elephant. In my opinion bronzing drops are sort of overrated like they just haven't worked out well for me."

"We also have the bronzing drops still here from Drunk Elephant. $31.98. Reminder though, don't put these into your sunscreen. You'll mess it up and it won't protect you reliably."

"I know the B-Bronzi Drops from Drunk Elephant are really popular. They're not bad, but honestly if you're going to get the B-Bronzi Drops and add them to a moisturizer to make it a tinted moisturizer, I suggest that L'Oréal Lumi Glotion moisturizer instead, same effect, much less expensive."

"It's quite expensive and it's probably the one product that people dip their toe into when it comes to Drunk Elephant. The Drunk Elephant one translates as a little bit orangey on the skin, not my favorite, and of course that will depend on the tonality of it will depend on your individual skin tone to begin with, but for me it comes across quite orange. I don't like the fact that they say it's an antioxidant product when there's not a whole lot of antioxidant action going on in there. I certainly wouldn't swap out your antioxidant serum for it. I don't think you'll get the coverage you need, and for me it's just way too expensive."

"These are drops that you can add into your moisturizer your serums that give a bronzy tanned golden tint to the skin. It's really cool technology and innovation. They are $38 for these drops, they are definitely not cheap. I used to love this product and was convinced I would never be able to find a dupe or alternative to it."

My Honest Thoughts on Drunk Elephant's "Best Sellers" (in 2024)

"This is another one that isn't for me, it's way too much for me to work with. It could just be that I have a pretty fair skin tone, so this could be too light for you if you have a deep skin tone, but maybe if you're light to medium this is the perfect bronzer. I feel like it's not a good color for cool undertones, maybe if you're warm it could be perfect. It's a well done product with skin boosting ingredients in addition to the bronzer, just not for me."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Source: DermNet

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Source: NIH, National Library of Medicine

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.
