Overview
This treatment lotion from Origins leans on reishi and fermented chaga mushroom along with hyaluronic acid, and it is meant to be used morning and night as the second step in a routine, right after cleansing. The brand positions it around calming, strengthening the look of the skin barrier and minimizing the appearance of pores.
The formula is vegan and comes free of formaldehyde donors, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates and sodium lauryl sulfate, and it has an earthy citrus scent rather than being unscented. Recommended uses on the label include calming, addressing oiliness and the appearance of visible pores, and supporting a stronger looking skin barrier.
With a 4.6 star average from more than 1,000 ratings, this is one of the more heavily reviewed toners in its category, which gives shoppers a solid base of feedback to judge it by, even though its current monthly purchase count is modest.

Performance notes
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that helps pull moisture into skin, and it pairs here with mushroom derived ingredients like reishi and fermented chaga that are associated with calming, soothing effects on the look of the skin. This combination supports the product's focus on redness, oiliness and the appearance of pores rather than deep exfoliation.
