ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:Reishi Mushroom, Fermented Chaga Mushroom, Adaptogenic Licorice Root &Plant-Derived Hyaluronic Acid. Adaptogens – commonly used in Ayurveda and TCM practices – have been a major talking point in the wellness realm with certain herbs and mushrooms (including cordyceps, chaga and reishi) said to have adaptogenic properties that allow the body to better deal with stress. Studies on adaptogens are promising. But while mushrooms themselves are rich in nutritional benefits (and any food that’s great for your health, is good for your skin), Dr. Borysiewicz is wary of topical skincare products that claim to have adaptogen qualities as there isn't sufficient evidence to support the claims. One of the biological activities of thecentellosides isto be able to stimulate GAGs(glycosaminoglycans - polysaccharides that are part of the liquidy stuff between our skin cells), and especially hyaluronic acid synthesis in our skin.

Truffles Smells of potato peelings On there plus side, it smoothed my skin and people noticed and even said that it was glowing, but I won't be buying it again based on the smell.

Skincare formulas that incorporate mushrooms offer enhanced moisturising, soothing and brightening effects while softening the appearance of skin damage and ageing. Which mushrooms are found in skincare? Cordyceps – widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Tibetan Medicine to ease signs of fatigue in the complexion.Similar to most ingredient trends, the mushroom movement isn’t completely a completely new phenomenon. “Mushrooms have long been used in Asia for their ability to improve health, maintain vitality, preserve a youthful appearance, and to counter the adverse health effects of chronic stress,” says Dr. Andrew Weil, a US-based medical doctor and practitioner of integrative medicine. His collaboration with Origins, which began in 2005, arguably brought mushroom skincare to the Western mainstream. According to him, studies on unique mushroom species show promising anti-inflammatory effects and the topical use of these mushrooms may help protect skin from skin damage caused by environmental aggressors. Centella Asiatica also often shows up in products that try to treat cellulite or striae. Of course, it cannot make a miracle but it might have some effect via regulating microcirculation and normalizing the metabolism in the cells of connective tissues.
