If youre a sucker for summer-scented products , youve likely encountered one of the beauty worlds most quintessential ones: Sol de Janeiros Brazilian Bum Bum cream , an addictively-scented moisturizer that promises to hydrate and visibly tighten skin along with dousing your dermis with a dose of tropical glow. With a 4-star rating at Sephora  across over 9,000 reviews and a devoted following on TikTok , its a clear fan favorite, but at $48 for a little over 8 ounces of the product, its not exactly a throwaway purchase.

Last year, we surfaced a significantly cheaper option on Amazon : a firming cheeky cream courtesy of the customer-beloved budget beauty brand NatureWell.  Typically, it clocks in at a very reasonable $14.99 per 10 ounces but now with a 15% off coupon, its less than $13. 

NatureWells cream offers a host of the same promises as its pricier counterpart. It contains guaran, cupuau butter and aa extract it says will firm and brighten skin over time. These ingredients may also offer a similar intoxicating smell to the one Sol de Janeiros moisturizer is known for: a warm, sweet aroma that reviewer James B. wrote smells great and is very similar to the original. The cheeky cream is also packed with coconut oil to keep skin generously hydrated. 

Im flabbergasted this product hasnt blown up on social media, etc, wrote reviewer Erica B. on Amazon. I constantly buy the Sol brand, [and] you get double the product for the same price here. Easily one [of] the best products Ive snagged. (Note: you can also get the NatureWell cream at Sams Club for an even more insanely affordable price of $16.98 for 20 ounces.) 

Amazon customers who have bought the product have helped it earn a 4.7-star rating and its enjoying even more accolades at Sams Club, where its racked up a 4.5-star rating across 203 reviews. At this price, you may want to investigate the hype for yourself.

It's non-comedogenic, has a lightweight finish and doesn't feel overly mattifying or powdery. It's formulated with dermatologist-recommended ingredients like niacinamide and always leaves me with a healthy, balanced glow.
