Adaptogens are natural substances, such as herbs and mushrooms, that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to help the body adapt to stress and maintain physiological balance.

Adaptogens work on the skin by modulating the production of Cortisol (AKA stress hormone), reducing inflammation, mitigating the impact of stress on the skin, and ultimately enhancing the skin's natural barrier function.

The best adaptogens for the skin include Reishi mushroom, Schisandra, Licorice, Turmeric, Ginseng , Ashwagandha, and Aloe Vera.
