Review 2 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Helps reduce my rosacea
-03.29.13
Quick Take: milky, soothing, healthy for skin
I've been using this product for years and haven't had to rely on medication for my rosacea prone skin.
It's milky, rinses well and leaves my skin soothed and soft. I love the scent: natural and earthy.
Occasionally I'll switch to a lighter cleanser during warm months, but I always use this product when I feel a breakout coming on.

Review 3 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Love this for my rosacea prone skin
-03.21.13
Quick Take: milky
I used cetaphil for years and then tried this product and found out what it was like to have my face really clean without drying it out. My skin is extremely sensitive to most products and this is just wonderful!

Review 4 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Left a residue
-03.20.13
Quick Take: milky
I am currently on acne medications and needed something gentle and that aids with the dryness the medication is causing (I usually have very oily skin).. This cleanser was recommended to me by one of the girls at sephora. I tried it for a while, but noticed that it began to burn when I used it. I also started to notice that my makeup was not sitting right on my face. I kept thinking it was my moisturizer, but finally realized it was a residue from the cleanser being left on my face. Once I switched cleansers, I no longer had the issue

Review 5 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
BEST Cleanser EVER!
-03.15.13
Quick Take: softening
I was having a lot of problems over the winter with my hyper reactive skin. It was very patchy, red and inflamed and nothing was helping. The associate at my local sephora recommended this cleanser and gave me a sample of it to try. I used it for a few days and immediately started noticing a difference in how my skin responded.
It was gentle with a lovely herbal scent and I adore the lotion like texture! I'm now on my second tube and I'm loving it! It's the perfect cleanser to go with my Clarisonic Mia 2!

Review 6 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
best cleanser ever!
-03.10.13
Quick Take: amazing and calming to the skin, best product to use day to day, gentle for all skin types, smells amazing!
I have tried many cleansers and face washes but this is by far the best investment I've made. I have had acne problems and left behind redness and scarring and when I had a breakout here and there so many sales people would suggest drying out agents but the results made it worse. The associate who helped me at Sephora was very knowledgeable and helped me find the right skin care line for me. The cleanser is soft on the skin and does not dry you out (which makes acne worse) it leaves the skin baby soft :D A definite buy for anyone looking to better their skin :)

Review 7 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
amazing!!!
-01.31.13
it removes every trace of my waterproof foundation and waterproof mascara!. does not foam but leaves skin soft after cleaning, i use on dry skin than move around until all of my makeup is softened and mascara is no longer on my lashes and than rinse with warm water, that's the only way to actually get the makeup off. than i follow with the toner from the same line. the best cleanser i have ever used!! so soothing and leaves my skin so soft! nothing compares to it and ive used many!!

Review 8 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
-01.27.13
Quick Take: milky, bad for sensitive eyes
I got a sample of this, and the stuff seemed to irritate my eyes. I'm used to gentle cleansers that you can used over your eyelids -- this one, not so much. It kind of burned. I wouldn't buy it.

Review 9 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
lovely...just not for me
-01.25.13
This is a lovely creamy cleanser that smells and feels wonderful. I thought it would be very soothing on my skin for the winter months, but there is something in here that makes my face itch. So I have to return it. Probably excellent for someone with less sensative skin than mine.

Review 10 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
LOVE this product!
-01.17.13
Quick Take: milky
I absolutely love this cleanser. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to some acne and this cleanser is more gentle and soothing than any other I have tried. After just a few months of use, my skin is bright, renewed and my pores seem smaller too. I would absolutely recommend this product, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of acne.

Review 11 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
I love this cleanser
-01.10.13
I was on the fence about buying this cleanser at first but I am really glad I did. It smells great, I love the texture and my face feels hydrated after using it. I really love how smooth it feels. It really makes me want to try other products in this line.

Review 12 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
-01.05.13
Quick Take: milky
I've been using this face cleaners for about three weeks now. It's been great in helping calm the redness of my skin, and so far, has not irritated it like Clinique's Redness Reducing face cleanser did after the same time period. Love this product, would have given it 5 stars, but not a fan of the earthy smell; however, it's not too strong or overpowering

Review 13 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Great Product
-01.04.13
Quick Take: milky, best on dry skin to start
I've used Origins cleansers & lotions for over a decade now - the Never A Dull Moment face wash was always perfect for my on-the-oily-side skin. I'm in my late 30s now and had started to have trouble in the winter months, in the dry climate I live in - couldn't get back to feeling balanced, face always felt too oily or too 'clean' (ie, dry and stripped). I've been using this for 2 months now and it's been just great. I'm back to not having to think about babying my skin anymore.

Review 14 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Great Product
-01.03.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing
I don't have a problem with redness, and while I can tolerate most cleansers they don't seem to do much and most are rather drying. I've been using the Mega Mushroom cleanser for about 2 weeks and it's been great. Creamy and moisturizing without being clogging. Some nights I don't really rinse it off and in the morning it feels like I've used a serum. My skin is soft, smooth and blemish-free.
Not really in love with the scent. If you've been mushroom hunting, that's what it smells like. Which, ya know, makes sense. And is preferable to a bunch of chemicals, plus it fades pretty quickly. It won't keep me from buying another bottle.

Quick Take: milky
I have rosacea and got a chemical burn on my face so my skin was super sensitive and the texture changed completely. This is the only thing that has really helped it and makes my skin soft again without irritating it and causing flare-ups. Greattt!

Review 17 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
I never write reviews....
-10.02.12
Quick Take: milky
But I had to because I just love this product. I am 38, have always had problem skin (which has been worse with being pregnant) & have NEVER found a product line I like. I have probably spent hundreds of dollars on everything under the sun, this product line has calmed my skin, reduced breakouts & has even helped with aging. My skin is soft & not greasy. Use this with origins modern friction every other day & you'll be thrilled like me.

Great for Sensitive Skin!

Quick Take: smells wonderful, good for sensitive skin
I have fair skin, occasional breakouts, and rosacea. This is the only cleanser I have found, from the uber-cheap Simple to the pricy Eve Lom, that doesn't cause a flair-up.

Review 19 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Finally my oily skin has been tamed!!
-08.29.12
Quick Take: milky, moisturizing, fabulous
I have been using this for 2 months now and I can not live without it! First a little about me: I am 24, have really bad oily skin and 6 months pregnant to boot (which in turn gave me oilier skin). So my needless to say, I needed a cleaner that was good for me and my baby. This product has been keeping my face oil free and moisturized ever since day 1! I have never had much luck taming my oily until now. I love this product and use it morning and night. If I forget one of these times, my skin has the awful oil layer. The only thing that shocked me was how creamy it was. If you are expecting it to foam or give any bubbles, it doesn't. Then when you remove it from your skin, it gives such a refreshing feeling. I would definately get this again, especially with such great results during a very humid summer!

Review 20 for Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser
Carolineproto
Best of both worlds cleanser!
-08.22.12
I bought this as an after workout cleanser and I love it. I have acne prone skin that's also very sensitive and it needs to be washed after an intense workout but 3 times a day with a harsh cleanser drys out my skin way to much. This is gentle enough to keep it from drying out but has also helped keep me from breaking out as well. Best of both worlds! It doesn't lather at all but I still don't have to use a lot for it to cover my entire face. The smell isn't too much- kind of like a clean smell. I'm so happy with my purchase I've always been a fan of origins but this is by far my favorite!
