A light, non-greasy glow serum that works all over the face or on high points, built on Amazonian butters. One glow shade only, so it reads as sheen more than a colored highlight.

Overview
A morning vanity routine gets an all-over glow step from this liquid illuminating serum by Physicians Formula. It melts into skin and blends out to a dewy, radiant sheen, with a butter blend meant to soften and moisturize as it goes.
Glow plus care is the angle: the serum lights up the face while its butters condition the skin underneath. Only one shade is offered, so deeper complexions wanting a gold or bronze cast will need to look at a tinted highlighter.
Who it's for
Suited to a quick daily routine where a healthy-looking glow replaces powder highlighter, including on sensitive or oily skin. People chasing a strong, glittery strobe effect will find the finish too soft.
Pros and cons
- Non-greasy, lightweight serum texture
- Works all over or on high points
- Listed for oily, dry and sensitive skin
- Butter blend conditions while it glows
- Only one glow shade
- Medium coverage, not sheer
- Soft sheen, no bold metallic highlight
- Butters may feel rich on very oily skin
Performance notes
The glow comes from illuminating minerals suspended in a liquid base that spreads thin and reflects light evenly across the skin. Because the base melts in instead of sitting as a film, the finish looks like skin with sheen, while the butters add slip that makes blending easy.
