Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What they liked

Serum consistency with hydrating ingredients
Subtle enough for makeup-hesitant people

What they flagged

Minimal pigment, not true highlighter strength
All three shades blend out too similarly

What the gurus are saying

These drops blur the line between skincare and makeup with a lightweight serum texture packed with hydrating ingredients like polyglutamic acid. They're sheer and buildable rather than pigmented, so they work best for anyone drawn to barely-there glow and subtle color rather than bold definition. The catch is that all three shades read similarly light, so the set may feel redundant if you're after distinct highlighter, blush and bronzer effects.

"This entire category I don't hate it, I just also don't really use it very often because [...] there's just not a lot of pigment, it's not as much the type of product that I personally enjoy. [...] I don't think you need all three, I thought they would act as a highlighter, blush and bronzer, but they're too similar, [...] you start blending them out and they're all just extremely light. [...] It's a nice idea, not as much for me, much more for people who are hesitant about makeup."

"They come in two different shades. These are actually a serum consistency that are packed with skincare ingredients like polyglutamic acid to improve hydration and actually strengthen your skin barrier. You can wear these two ways. You can wear this on top of your last skincare product for an instant light reflecting glow, or if you want a more soft focus effect, put it under your makeup or you can mix it in with a moisturizer or your makeup."

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
