If you haven’t heard of the viral Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Drops by now, you’ve probably been living under a rock (in which case, you’ll definitely want to invest in one of these products to get your tan back).
This TikTok-famous product from clean skincare brand Drunk Elephant boasts both makeup and skincare benefits that makes it obvious why it’s so beloved.
Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops
£35.00What is in the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops?
In addition to giving you an instant sun-kissed glow, the Bronzing Drops contain omega-rich marula oil, blackcurrant seed oil and vitamin F to support a healthy skin barrier, and antioxidants from ingredients like white tea and cocoa to shield the skin from pollution damage (i.e., premature ageing).
For additional anti-ageing benefits, these drops contain a peptide blend for better skin elasticity and chronocyclin to keep skin looking youthful.
As for what's not in these drops, you'll be glad to know that it's 100% free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance to avoid irritating the skin.

How do you use the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops?
All you have to do is mix these concentrated drops with your fave moisturiser, SPF, serum or oil and massage into the skin to get an instant and customisable golden glow over your entire face. You can also mix it into body lotion for an all-over tan or up the dosage to apply around the neckline, forehead, cheekbones and nose as you might a regular bronzer.
Unlike tanning drops, this product gives you immediate results that are removed with cleanser at the end of the day, but unlike bronzer it definitely needs to be mixed with a base product before application.
Dupes for the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops
However, while the D-Bronzi Drops aren’t quite a self-tanner and aren’t quite a bronzer, we’ll be sifting through Cosmetify’s huge collection of both to bring you the closest alternatives.
Since blowing up during a GRWM TikTok from makeup artist Alix Earle, this product has been pretty much impossible to get your hands on. Add its scarcity to the somewhat hefty price tag (though a little does go a long way), and you’ve got the perfect equation for needing a list of dupes!
