Most Helpful Positive Review Origins best Mega Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Treatment Lotion (P2,100 for 200ml)
I was excited to try the famous Mega Mushroom lotion, since my face was so reactive to all sorts of skincare. Our other writers swear by its soothing properties, and I heard that this was best used as an after-active (or after-acid) soothing lotion. It's probably because there was so much hype around it that I built it up to be some sort of miracle soothing product and found myself wanting even after a week of testing.
Very good at reducing redness. The combination of reishi mushroom, sea buckthorn, and fermented chaga mushroom supposedly aids in reducing redness, something I always seem to have in the nostril and chin area. The Mega Mushroom Lotion didn't aid in reducing redness at all. I used it alone for two weeks, massaging the watery lotion or swiping it on like a toner, and I didn't notice any reduction in redness.
It does reduce and prevent flaking. On the other hand, this actually worked for me. My nostril area and my chin (which is the only area I have breakouts) always tend to be flaky, but are now smooth and hydrated thanks to the Mega Mushroom Lotion. A week before I tested the lotion, I used a glycolic acid cream to exfoliate, so I was the flakiest face on earth, and the Mega Mushroom Lotion really helped in bringing back the smoothness. I found it to be best used (10-20 minutes) after a glycolic cream to act as a sort of barrier of protection when the acid does its magic.
It truly does hydrate the skin. It does hydrate my skin well. Nowadays, I prefer it as a follow-up to mud masks and acids because of the soothing this brings.
Most Helpful Critical Review Too sticky - broke out I was using the face lotion before, and when I ran out I went to the Origins store in Disney Springs to buy a new one. The sales lady said that they didn't carry the face lotion anymore. I asked if I could get it online, and she answered no, that they had upgraded to this - the hydrating moisturizer - instead. I asked what the difference was and she said it was just more hydrating. I decided to give it a try as I loved the lotion. I've now used it for a week and I do not like it at all. My face feels all sticky. I don't feel like it blends with my skin, and it even had me break out in tiny little bumps. So I went on here to look in to the rest of the Mushroom line only to discover that they DO actually still sell the face lotion. I can't help to feel a bit tricked.
This is might be good for someone else, but not me.
I'm giving it two stars because it smells nice and I like the packaging.

I truly love origins. Specifically this line and the perfect world line. This moisturizer is so lightweight yet really moisturizes my skin as if it knows exactly how much moisture I need. My skin is very sensitive and always red. This is a god send!
This is so good 5
Sugartown from California
My skin is very picky/allergy-prone and this feels so good when I put it on. It's non oily and absorbs well. Will definitely repurchase!
tried on a whim 2
madrasm from New York, NY
When Origins stopped making my favorite moisturizer, I bought this one without much thought. "Weightless" seemed like a nice, light moisturizer, but I should have looked more carefully at what "deeply hydrating" means. It's an oily product. Not for me. My face felt wet for about an hour, very uncomfortable. Maybe this'll produce a glow for someone else. For me, it was more like a flop sweat. I had no trouble returning (my first return!).
great! 5

There are a lot of comments about the smell of this moisturizer...I think it smells amazing. Definitely a personal preference.
Its a nice product 4
NikkiB from Michigan
I use this in the morning after I wash my face. It smells good and it works without causing any acne. Overall a good product. Its a little thin compared to the cream I used before it so I have to use a lot of it to feel like I am getting the moisturizing I need. I also have other origin products I use that are probably keeping my face moisturized. If I only used this it probably wouldn't be enough ( I have dry skin.)
My new go to! 5
Sarah b. from Michigan
I'm about halfway done with my bottle and I'm definitely repurchasing. The lightweight formula is exactly what I my easily clogged pores need. This moisturizer is a really good base for makeup and also a really good moisturizer for nighttime. I don't use it every single day but I find myself gravitating towards it often.
I love all Dr. Weil skincare products! 5
Sib from Arkansas
Makes my face feel cool & hydrated.
Love this 5
NCmom from Durham NC
I'm 61 with dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. This is my favorite moisturizer. It's light and moisturizing and has a wonderful earthy scent which dissipates. I use this every night after applying Differin gel. My skin drinks this up with no break outs. I will buy this again and again.
Horribly strong scent 1
Kayla from Spokane, WA
I can't say I am as happy as I thought I'd be with this product. You definitely feel it on your skin even hours after application. The scent is was is a MAJOR turn off. It's strong and very "earthy". I am one who doesn't have an issue with smells but this one really bothers me.
Flaky burning skin 2
Delaney from WI
Used this every night and loved it at first....as time went on my skin started peeling badly. Super flaky skin and couldn't pin point what it was until I realized my skin had a burning sensation every time I put this on.
Must buy again 5
Nicholas111 from Los Angeles
I suffered from redness and dryness for a long time after trying many different products nothing compares to this instant results after the first use !
Love it!!!! 5
Susienc from Wrightsville beach NC
1- I keep reading reviews of a bad odor. It doesn't have a bad odor at all. It's refreshing!
2- I'm 58 and have 3 areas with extreme dryness that nothings really ever worked for. THIS DOES!
3-just a small amount on a cotton ball dabbed all over the face and voila! That's it! So amazing feeling soft and smooth and dryness isn't showing at all nor can I feel where it was dry!
This is my day moisturizer now! Night I use the nightamins
Would not buy again 2
SAW from CT
Although this moisturizer is lightweight and soft- the smell of this product is very strong and unpleasant. Returned immediately after my first use of it.
Yes, I would buy this product!! 5
Billie from New York
I received a free sample of this with my order. I was able to get three applications out of it. I think its fantastic! The formula is light. I didn't find it to be tacky once it was completely absorbed by my skin. I do have redness on my cheeks and forehead and it was beneficial and reduced redness. It also left my skin amazingly soft. I would buy it instantly if I didn't have three brand new moisturizers from Origins in my cupboard....And I might anyway, who knows?
Great moisturizer 5
Katie from California
Thanks Origin for giving me this moisturizer to try it on with my order. I ordered for a full size after 3 times used. It works great with soothing treatment lotions as recommended.
Great for combo/sensitive skin 5
Ainne from San Marcos
This product is great! I started using using in conjunction with the FAB resurfacing pads, and the biossance vitamin c serum. This stuff does not cause any irritation. I spray a bit of the la roche posay mineral spring mist on it after my vitamin c serum then pat in. My skin loves it!

I love this product!!!! 5
Kimmy Jean from Raynham, MA
I received my free sample the other day and I'm in love. What an amazing product. I definitely recommend this product. I've been using Origins products for as long as I can remember and they just keep getting better.
This might be fine for someone else, but not me! 2
Jan from Aspen, CO.
I have used t this product several times since I bought both it and the spray that is recommended to use with it. I don't like the way my skin feels from them - too sticky! Even this one on its own feels sticky. And my skin broke out from using them.
Great, but not for me. 4
Carmina from Cottageville, WV
I have combination skin, so I go from dry to oily. This product is great, but isn't my cup of tea. It leaves a tacky feel on my skin and tends to become oily. I would be able to tolerate this on winter when my skin is very dry.
Hydration and calming!! 5
Babs from Boston
The mushroom extracts really helpsy sensitive, dry skin. Looks in moisture while nourishing, keeping my skin plump/smooth and preventing break outs. Absolutely love the Mega mushroom line!!
I like it! 4
Mlopez221 from Los angeles
Goes on skin good. Thin moisturizer. Goes well under makeup. I notice when I use this redness is less visible. Smells good. Bottle is perfect size
