Product Information

I would feel more comfortable if Physicians Formula was part of Leaping Bunny’s China Qualification Program. Where brands will need to complete both a Pre-Market Audit and a series of Post-Market Audits to meet Leaping Bunny’s extensive criteria and standards. Maybe this is just me, but the dropper is a bit uncomfortable to use. I had to make some almost dance-y movements to get the “juice” out of the bottle. Well, no biggie. I have been getting out of shape anyway.

Hydration power can elevate your look from exhausted to pumped up in seconds. Incorporated in the Physicians Formula Foundation, hyaluronic acid makes sure to pamper your skin cells with optimal moisture and hydration to restore your skin’s natural charm. The magic ingredient restructures your skin with its anti-aging benefits and helps increase elasticity to deliver a tighter and firmer skin tone. Octinoxate Physicians Formula also states it is committed to withdrawing its products in the unlikely event that animal tests are required as they continue to sell in China. My Thoughts: Then, there’s the issue of cosmetic companies selling in China, where animal testing is required by law for some cosmetics sold in stores in China. Is Physicians Formula Sold in China? And, it is no slouch in the longevity department either. I went a full day without the foundation ever starting to feel cake-y.When asking, does Physicians Formula test on animals? We must look beyond to ensure none of Physicians Formula’s ingredients or suppliers test on animals. And they don’t sell in any country or under conditions that may require animal testing by law.

And, most importantly, they are suitable for even the most delicate skin types. It is no wonder that dermatologists hold the brand in such high regard. The “skin-friendly” label is well and truly a reality in this case. Did PETA know from the start that Physicians Formula was about to sell in China before the pictures started circulating? As we wrote in our lengthy retinol description the problem is that the conversion is not terriblyeffective. The evidence that RP is still an effective anti-aging ingredient is not very strong, in fact, it's weak. Dr. Leslie Baumann in her fantastic Cosmetic Dermatologybook writes that RP is topically ineffective. However, dedicated vegans should not be alarmed by this. You will easily find some great 100% vegan products from their range as well. Just make sure to carefully go over the ingredients list. Review Conclusion: Is Physicians Formula Worth it? Source: cosmeticproof.com Physicians Formula’s statement that they do not conduct or commission animal testing is not enough information for us to classify them or any other brand as being cruelty-free according to our standards.The brand was developed in 1937 by a renowned California allergist Frank Crandall. For Dr. Crandall, developing Physicians Beauty was far from being just a business pursuit. To sum it up, dermatologists hold Physicians Formula in very high regard. After all, the brand was developed by a leading allergist of the time. And, the key idea of Physicians Formula has always been to offer “glamour without sacrificing health”.

However, there is a big hairy “but” lurking here. This comes in only two shades! My face is on the lighter side, so there just isn’t a suitable shade to choose from. Even the supposedly “light” shade is a bit too dark for me. We think that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and we agree with Dr. Baumann's conclusion: " sufficient evidence to establish a causal link between RP and skin cancer has not been produced. Nor, I’m afraid, are there any good reasons to recommend the use of RP". We would addespeciallyduring the day! The Physicians Formula Foundation features an exotic blend of ingredients that spoil your skin in hours of soulful therapy. This helps maintain an energized look without inviting any dullness. Let us take a peek at these ingredients. Brightening Complex (Chinese Wu-Zhu-Yu Extract)

My Thoughts:

must NOT sell any ‘ special’ cosmetics like sunscreens, hair dye, hair perming, or other cosmetics claiming new efficacy Dr. Leslie Baumann wrote a great review of the debate and summarized the research available about retinyl palmitatehere. It seems that there is a study showing RP being photo protective against UVB rays but there is also a study showingRP causing DNA damage and cytotoxicity in association with UVA. Yes, I do emphasize the factor of skin-friendliness a lot. This is because breakouts from using the wrong products have been a constant factor in my life. And, Physicians Formula advertises as being the ultimate brand for people with delicate skin. Well, because this is a great product for beauty enthusiasts like me. Those rare creatures who wish to keep their routines short and easy.
