My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The serum Origins Mega-Mushroom Advanced Face Serum It is primarily intended for sensitive skin prone to redness, discomfort, and dehydration. The Origins brand employs a botanical and soothing approach, suitable for reactive skin or skin weakened by external aggressions (pollution, stress, climate variations). Based on my analysis, the formula focuses on skin tolerance and repair, while providing deep hydration and an anti-inflammatory effect. This serum is therefore intended for people looking for a soothing, protective, and rebalancing skincare product, particularly for redness or tightness.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Mushroom extracts (Ganoderma lucidum, Fuscoporia obliqua, Cordyceps sinensis) These extracts are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They help reduce redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and protect the skin against oxidative stress.
• Squalane This biomimetic emollient restores the hydrolipidic film, improves suppleness, and limits water loss, while being non-comedogenic and very well tolerated.
• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : It intensely moisturizes, plumps the skin, and promotes water retention in the epidermis, contributing to an immediate soothing effect.

The synergy of these active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness on skin sensitivity and dehydration.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this serum morning and night to clean skin, before your moisturizer. It is compatible with most moisturizing and soothing active ingredients (niacinamide, ceramides), but I do not recommend combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA/BHA acids) to avoid irritation. It can be incorporated into a minimalist or more comprehensive skincare routine.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This serum stands out for its tolerance, rapid soothing effect, and light, non-greasy texture. However, its botanical fragrance may not be suitable for ultra-sensitive skin or skin that is allergic to essential oils. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for soothing, moisturizing, and strengthening sensitive skin on a daily basis.
