Sol de Janeiro's Bom Dia Bright Body Cream uses fruit-derived AHAs from mango and banana, a vitamin C ester and willow bark extract to retexturize and brighten body skin while delivering 24-hour hydration, wrapped in the Cheirosa 40 scent of black amber plum, jasmine and vanilla woods. It feels lightweight with a satin finish, and creators and Who What Wear's editor praise its glow and scent. The fruit acids are gentle rather than clinical-strength, and it contains fragrance and dyes, so it suits people who want a pleasant daily cream more than an intensive KP treatment.

Who What Wear

I love whipping this vitamin C–drenched body cream out whenever my skin is looking dull and lifeless. Nothing else in my arsenal revives my skin quite like it.

The formula on Sol De Janeiro creams, Bom Dia Bright included, strikes a great balance between silky and thick for easy blend-ability and a moisturizing finish.

You’ll run through it quickly if you use a generous amount to cover your whole body daily. But if you reserve it for once a week or only plan to use it on, say, your legs, it’s worth it.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does Bom Dia Bright Body Cream make skin sensitive to the sun?

Sol de Janeiro says its fruit-derived acids won't increase sun sensitivity. The brand still recommends wearing a daily SPF.

How does it compare with Brazilian Bum Bum Cream?

Sol de Janeiro positions Bom Dia Bright for smoothing texture with fruit AHAs and vitamin C, while Bum Bum Cream is marketed for visible firming with guaraná. Bom Dia Bright uses the floral Cheirosa 40 scent instead of Bum Bum's pistachio-caramel Cheirosa 62.

Can I use it on my face?

Sol de Janeiro says its products were created for the body and were not tested for use on the face, where skin tends to be more sensitive.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Sol de Janeiro says it has not tested the cream for safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding and recommends reviewing it with a healthcare provider.
