Adaptogens

Adaptogens are plants and fungi used in skincare to help the skin cope with stress and external aggressors. When skin feels tired, unbalanced, or easily reactive, adaptogens can help calm, strengthen, and restore its natural resilience over time.

They are often found in serums and creams, where they support skin balance and improve its ability to retain moisture and radiance. Common examples include ginseng, reishi, centella, and ashwagandha, which provide the skin with stability and clarity.
