Anyone well-versed in affordable beauty knows that e.l.f. Cosmetics’ Holy Hydration! Line is just too good to gatekeep. Now, shoppers are saying that the e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops are delivering luxe results like its Daily Moisturizer counterpart, the latter of which has drawn comparisons to Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Formula. 

Infused with a blend of 1% hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid, the e.l.f Holy Hydration! serum drops are winning over shoppers who previously swore by high-end (see: much more expensive) face serums. One satisfied customer gushed, “I used to use a super expensive brand (around $50 for a smaller bottle) and I was super excited to try the ELF drops. They give you the perfect glow without making your face feel greasy at all!” 

The Thirst Burst Drops also boast 5% niacinamide, a brightening ingredient that helps make skin look visibly brighter. Satisfied shoppers love the product’s lightweight, non-greasy feel, saying it is great alone or mixed in with foundation for that extra dewy glow. “Great product! Not only is it budget friendly it also well exceeds its price point when it comes to quality! ELF is the GOAT, definitely for the girl on a budget!” Shared another customer. 

This serum is great for nearly all skin types, too, which makes it a great skincare product to share with older kids and teens delving into skincare. “I love this! It’s lightweight but leaves your face feeling moisturized and looking dewy. My daughter already tried to steal it from me! 10/10!” Shared another customer. 

So if you’ve been on the hunt for a hassle-free face serum that gives your complexion a glow, why not try e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops? At only $12, it’s an easy investment in your skin.
