Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir Review

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir ($16.95) is a new “100% Natural Origin” facial oil that contains a host of floral and fruit oils to hydrate and brighten your skin tone. I picked this up at CVS about two and a half weeks ago and I thought I’d share my review and thoughts about Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir today!

Jump ahead for it!

Josie Argan broke into the beauty world with her introduction of Argan Oil and about two years after that every high end and mid-range brand was creating their own variations. Facial oil, like contouring and highlighting, is a lasting beauty trend that’s been cemented in the world of skincare. In 2014, for the first time, we started to see drugstore brands introduce their own facial oil formulas and Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil was one of the first drugstore brands to break into the trend. Need to say Physicians Formula went all out and also introduced blush, lipglosses, BB Cream, mascara, and a host of other makeup products that were infused with Argan Oil. Hey, if Josie can put it into everything why can’t Physicians Formula right?

I actually really liked Physicians Formula’s take on Argan Oil. They added nothing to it, it was simply argan oil! No fragrance, no unusual ingredients, just pure argan oil. Let’s face it, brands like to get a little creative with their skincare offerings and start adding fragrance and a host of ingredients that aren’t always beneficial to our skin. Physcian Formula kept it pure and simple.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir is filled with a good deal of fantastic oils that should be beneficial to your skin like Camellia Seed Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, and a host of other plant, floral, and fruit oils.

This comes housed in a pretty white glass bottle decorated with a pretty floral design. After I’m done with the oil I plan I using a little nail polish remover to see if I can take off the name of the product as well as the Organic Wear emblem and just leave the pretty floral motif. I thought it would look rather lovely on my vanity and I can refill it with facial oil. The bottle is 1 oz in size and contains a dropper for application. I think essential oils in general at a health food store are considerably cheaper than this bottle but drugstore always have sales so, you’ll likely never spend the full $17 dollars on this.

When I originally purchased it, it almost seemed like it was geared towards being more of a Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil . They call it lightweight and fast-absorbing. They also suggest using it every morning to boost radiance. I gotta tell you, I’m dry, but I really can’t use facial oil in the morning. It just doesn’t wear well under makeup and makes my makeup fade fast. It also leaves me feeling rather greasy and shiny. This oil in particular in very thick and very hydrating. A little drop is all you need for super hydration. But it isn’t something I’d use in the morning as it’s a bit too rich for me to use in the AM. But as a night treatment? Sure! I love it! It makes my skin super smooth, soft, and hydrated. I can’t say I experienced brightening from it but I find most times with skincare that promises a “brighter” look it mostly means that the hydrating factor will ease dullness and your skin will appear brighter. I know I have dry, dull skin and moisture goes a long way at making my skin look much brighter and a lot less dull. Compared to Physicians Formula Argan Oil this is considerably more hydrating and richer. For sensitive users, it does have a light herbal fragrance but it is fragrance-free so, what you’re smelling is the natural essential oils scent.

All in All, Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir didn’t quite deliver on the brighter and more radiant skin tone it promises but it does offer super hydration in the form some excellent plant oils and antioxidants. I can’t say I’d use it in the day to boost radiance but I am using it happily at night to keep my skin hydrated and soft.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir is launching now at drugstores and should be available soon at Ulta.com.
