The Sun-Damage Saviors Our Editors Love

Drunk Elephant B Goldi Bright Drops ($38)

This 5% niacinamide formula is a long-term solution to hyperpigmentation and sun damage, but it’s also a light-reflective instant glow up. A way to make your skin look instantly healthier while improving its appearance in the long-run, this fragrance-free brightening booster is the perfect companion to your favorite moisturizer.

“The Drunk Elephant B Goldi Drops are the perfect companion for days when I just can’t get myself to do a full face of makeup,” says NewBeauty editorial assistant Isabelle Buneo. “I simply mix them with my moisturizer or SPF and my skin immediately has a slightly bronzey, super glowy look and feel that gives me the confidence to face the day without concealer or foundation. Plus, it’s a great primer for a dewy, radiant makeup look, too.”
