Adaptogens are fantastic whether ingested or, in this case, used topically on the face and body. I'm a huge believer in the healing properties of herbs and roots in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, so it's a natural progression for me to use adaptogens (non-toxic plants) that help the body resist stressors. And that includes adaptogens for skincare, like this facial elixir.
The K-Beauty brand Chasin' Rabbits is new to me, but I liked the playful packaging right away. Magic Beauty Shroom is an adaptogen for face and body made from the Tremella mushroom, which is rich in beta glucan and collagen-like substances that moisturize and have antioxidant properties. Anti-oxidants in the mushroom act essentially like hyaluronic acid for moisturizing, which is profoundly beneficial to the skin.
I'm at the point now where I mostly trust K-Beauty products implicitly because they work 99% of the time. I LOVE that this "water" elixir is totally fragrance-free, cruelty-free, designed for sensitive skin, free of most "bad" ingredients, and particularly free of the controversial preservative "phenoxyethanol". Everything lines up for it to make my skin sing. It pats easily onto the face and under eyes, and left my skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, and very soft. I actually don't know if it's doing anything special, but my skin aure looks and feels good afterwards, so that counts more than anything. If my skin begins to glow as promised and continues feeling this way throughout the entire bottle, I would definitely order it again.
