 Well, I am not sure I have seen a more hyped product than the Drunk Elephant D-bronzi bronzing drops. I mean I am not sure if Drunk Elephant has the best Pr team in the world or if this is the wonder product of the century.

You know I am a marketer's dream and with all the hype of a face like sunshine in a bottle I was hooked in. I love a sunskissed skin look and I am all about any product I can wear instead of a foundation for a hint of something whilst still looking natural. So It was time to grab some viral bronzing drops and put them to the test. They have so many claims from boosting skin’s defences against pollution to unparalleled bronzing to a concentrated mix of protective antioxidants with all the benefits of a good skincare product. 

I have a combination skin that tans really easily and it will hold a natural tan for a long time. I like a sun-kissed glow type of skin and I am on the more yellow range of skin tone. 

So here is my honest review of the most viral product on the planet of skincare / make-up hybrid. 

What Are Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops?

Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops is a bronzing serum designed to give your skin a natural glow while providing antioxidant benefits. Unlike traditional bronzers or self-tanners, these bronzing drops are meant to be mixed with your skincare or makeup for a custom glow. They are packed with a mix of protective antioxidants that boost skin hydration and defences against pollution and environmental stresses. 

Why Is This Product Gaining Popularity?

• Viral appeal – A favourite among influencers and beauty lovers on TikTok.

• Customisable glow – You control how bronzy you want your skin to look.

• Skincare-infused – Packed with antioxidants and peptides to nourish the skin.

• No fake tan smell – Unlike self-tanners, these drops won’t leave you smelling like biscuits!

Elephant’s D-bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops Ingredients Breakdown

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

1. Marula Seed Oil – Hydrates and nourishes the skin with antioxidants and fatty acids.

2. Chronopeptide – Mimics the antioxidant benefits of vitamin D to support skin health.

3. Blackcurrant Seed Oil – Rich in protective antioxidants to defend against environmental pollution.

4. Vitamin F (Linoleic and Linolenic Acid) – Helps maintain the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.

5. Platinum Peptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-17) – Supports collagen production and improves skin elasticity.

Any Harmful Ingredients?

No harsh chemicals, parabens, or silicones! However, if you have acne-prone skin, marula oil may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores. Patch test first if you’re worried!

Application and Usage

How Do You Apply D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops?

The beauty of these Drunk Elephant bronzing drops is that they’re super versatile:

• Mix with moisturiser or serum for an all-over glow.

• Blend with foundation to warm up your complexion.

• Dab onto high points of the face (cheekbones, forehead, nose) for a bronzy glow.

The first time I popped this one on the back of my hand I was a little worried about how this bright brown pigmented bronzing drop would blend into my skin but don't worry if like me you weren't prepared for a very bright and pigmented drop. It blends so easily. 

So I start by applying one drop into my Embryolisse lait-crème concentré moisturiser and I start from there. I find one drop goes a long way but you can build up your coverage by starting by adding a little at a time. The drunk elephant d bronzi drops have a big pigmentation payoff. 

I use my fingers for application. This gives a lovely healthy glowy skin finish. Like you have just stepped off the plane from the beach holiday of a lifetime. Remember to add sunscreen to your routine too. 

Best Methods for a Natural Look

• Less is more – Start with one or two drops and build up.

• Mix well – Helps avoid streaks or patchiness.

• Apply evenly – Blend with fingers, brush, or sponge for a seamless finish.

• Shake the bottle well - This helps the product mix for application. 

Performance and Results

What Kind of Glow Do These Drops Provide?

• Subtle glow with a natural bronze shade – not orange or muddy.

• Lightweight feel – Doesn’t sit heavy on the skin like some bronzers.

• Buildable tint – Customisable from sheer to deep glow depending on how much you use.

How Long Do the Effects Last?

• Lasts all day when set with a light powder.

• Does not stain the skin like self-tanner – washes off easily.

• Does not smell like fake tanner.

Any Changes in Skin Texture or Tone?

• Leaves skin smooth and hydrated, thanks to the moisturising ingredients.

• No shimmer, just a natural glow – great for a “no-makeup” makeup look.

What I think of the Viral Drunk Elephant D-bronzi Drops

Ok, I wanted to really put drunk elephant's d-bronzi through its paces. It is on the more expensive side for bronzing drops but it is crammed packed with skincare ingredients and it instantly tans the skin and let's face it I will spend extra on products I like anyway. I mean my favourite foundation is the Chanel Aqua. 

From the first use of this product, I really like it. It is easy to apply. I mix it with either my moisturiser if it's a more natural day or a good primer. I normally use one to two drops and use my fingers to apply to the skin. 

If I am going out I use this under my foundation up to three drops to cover my neck etc too. I add a good concealer and shimmery highlighter do my eye and boom I am ready to head out out. 

This bronzer is so easy to use. I was worried about the application when you watch people on TikTok use their fingers you never see their hands after. I didn't want stained hands but as long as you wash your hands after this is not an issue. 

I was also worried this would cling to any dry patches or wrinkles that I have but it just doesn't it sits really well on the skin. I have to mention if I am using strong active skincare I get a little sensitivity when I use these. But it is only a little bit and my skin settles right down after a few moments. These give me a healthy skin look delivered with a bronzy finish. 

The drops give you a nice tan without the damage to your skin. 

• Loves: “Gives my skin a healthy glow without looking fake.”

• Concerns: “It’s expensive for the amount you get.”

• Different Skin Types:

  • Dry skin: Loves the hydration.

  • Oily skin: May feel slightly heavy.

  • Sensitive skin: No irritation reported.

Is It Worth the Investment?

Factors to Consider Before Purchasing

• If you want a natural glow with skincare benefits – YES.

• If you have oily or acne-prone skin – Might not be the best choice.

• If you prefer a budget-friendly alternative – There are cheaper options out there.

Would I Recommend this bronzi drops?

Personally, yes but only if it fits your skincare needs and budget! I love the way it makes my skin look, but I wouldn’t call it a must-have if you already own a good bronzing product. But for me the skin glow is next level, I will be repurchasing as I really do like them but maybe I need to try some others to compare.
