The Skin Relief Face Cleanser from Origins’ Mega-Mushroom collection isn’t your bog-standard facial cleanser. After just one week of use, it soothed troubled areas and left me with a calm and smooth complexion.

The Most Important Thing About The Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser Is…

This is a facial cleanser that doesn’t just remove makeup; it also makes a difference to troubled skin. After my first use, I noticed an instant improvement in my skin. Angry, adamant blemishes were suddenly much calmer and my skin felt free of irritation.

What Skin Type Is It For?

This cleanser can be used on all skin types, but is formulated with naturally-derived ingredients to cater for sensitive skin.

You Will Love This If…

You have sensitive skin and are searching for a cleanser to remove impurities and makeup without causing irritation or redness. Similarly, if you already love Origins’ Mega-Mushroom range, this cleanser will only further protect your skin’s barrier from the damage caused by environmental aggressors, harsh products and external irritants.

Hero Ingredients:

Origins’ self-developed signature Molecular-Mushroom Complex. This complex contains two types of mushrooms. Firstly, responsibly sourced reishi – a mushroom used in traditional herbal medicine for over 2,000 years – is known to help fight visible irritation and boost the skin’s resilience. And finally, fermented chaga; the “King of Mushrooms” with a long history of use as a folk remedy to promote good health. A powerful anti-irritant, chaga is a potent skin soother. Alongside the mushroom blend, this cleanser also contains ginger, turmeric, holy basil and liquorice extract to remove makeup and impurities without upsetting the skin’s naturally protective lipid balance.

What Does It Feel Like?

This is a super lightweight cleanser. I wear quite a lot of makeup day-to-day, so I had to double cleanse to ensure I had totally removed everything. Once I had rinsed the cleanser off, my skin was feeling completely calm and soft. It’s a lovely soothing formula for sensitive, frequently irritated skin.

What Does It Smell Like?

Fans of the Mega-Mushroom range will recognise its herbaceous, nearly-not-there scent. The cleanser has this same clean-scented aroma that makes skin feel fully cleansed and refreshed.

How Do You Use The Product?

Squeeze about a 20p size of cleanser into your palms and massage into your face. This isn’t a foaming formula; it remains smooth on the skin and gently removes makeup and impurities. Once the face is fully covered, rinse it off with warm water. Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Cleanser can be used both in the morning and evening.

What’s Special About The Design?

The Mega-Mushroom range was designed by Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard-trained expert in medicinal plants, who believes that inflammation is the root cause of irritated skin. In his research, Dr. Weil found that mushrooms can fight irritation – specifically, reishi mushrooms, which possess powerful skin-soothing properties. This whole range is designed to soothe, decrease redness and activate the skin’s natural defences to make it more resilient. The whole range is bottled in olive green packaging.
