Why You'll Love It

SUPERFOOD TURNED SUPER-SOOTHER.

Three adaptogenic mushrooms team up to quiet irritation across three separate anti-inflammatory pathways, while naturally occurring Glutamine works to head off future flare-ups by switching off the skin's inflammatory response at its origin. The result: skin that feels calmer, healthier, and less prone to react.

One mushroom would have done the trick. But variety matters here, on your plate as on your skin. So we picked three, each working on stressed skin from a different angle. Reishi is a well-documented calmer, especially helpful for mature complexions where chronic inflammation speeds up aging. Chaga delivers one of the highest natural antioxidant payloads on the planet and helps rebuild the skin barrier. Cordyceps tops things off with a cellular energy lift that helps stressed skin bounce back, plus it cuts down on oxidative damage. A formidable trio, cultured in our own lab for reliable potency and a lighter footprint on the planet.

This stressed-skin soother belongs to our booster lineup: single, concentrated actives built to upgrade whatever routine you already have. Drop 1 to 2 into your moisturizer, serum, or oil. At a combined 10% mushroom extract, the dose lands significantly higher than anything you'll see in a mushroom-based moisturizer or serum on shelf. Targeted, personalized, and nothing extra.

This certified-natural booster contains no fragrance and has been clinically tested as suitable for sensitive skin.

"Mushrooms gained fame for their beauty benefits decades ago in Chinese medicine. Believed to have adaptogenic properties, they contain an abundance of the amino acid Glutamine – a saviour for irritable skin. On a cellular level, it dials down the drama on our skin’s natural response to stress."

FOUNDER, PAI SKINCARE

What does the Tri-Mushroom 10% Super-Soothing Booster actually do?

It's a concentrated booster that combines three adaptogenic mushroom extracts (Reishi, Chaga, and Cordyceps) to calm stressed, reactive skin through multiple anti-inflammatory pathways. Add 1-2 drops to any moisturiser, serum, or oil to dial down redness, irritation, and flare-ups without overhauling your routine.

Is this suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types?

It's designed specifically for stressed, reactive, and flare-prone skin. The formula is fragrance-free, essential oil-free, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist tested. It's also relevant for those managing conditions like rosacea, eczema, and dermatitis, where inflammatory cascades drive symptoms.

How do I use this booster in my routine?

Add 1-2 drops to your moisturiser, serum, or face oil and apply as normal, morning or evening. It pairs particularly well with the Prebiotic Inulin Protective Booster: Tri-Mushroom calms acute flare-ups while Prebiotic Inulin strengthens the microbiome long-term to reduce future episodes.

Can I use the Tri-Mushroom Booster alongside retinoids or active acids?

Yes, and it's actually a smart pairing. Retinoids and acids like salicylic acid can increase skin reactivity, so adding 1-2 drops of Tri-Mushroom to your moisturiser helps counterbalance that irritation through its anti-inflammatory and barrier-supportive ingredients. You can mix it into the same moisturiser you apply after your active, or use it on alternate evenings when your skin needs a calmer routine.

Is the Tri-Mushroom Booster safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes. It's confirmed safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula contains no retinoids, essential oils, or any other ingredients flagged as concerns during this period.

How long does it take to see results with the Tri-Mushroom Booster?

Many people notice an immediate calming effect on acute redness and irritation. For longer-term resilience, adaptogenic compounds work by supporting your skin's own regulatory systems rather than overriding them, so benefits tend to build with consistent daily use. The Cordyceps clinical trial measured its wrinkle-reduction results at 28 days, which is a reasonable timeframe to expect cumulative changes in skin stress response.

What other ingredients are in the formula besides the mushroom extracts?

Beyond the three mushrooms, the formula includes hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans for hydration, apricot kernel oil and plum seed oil for nourishment, and Magnolia bark extract for skin conditioning. There's also chicory-derived inulin and Lactobacillus ferment to feed beneficial skin bacteria, reinforcing the anti-inflammatory effects of the mushroom extracts over time.

How are the mushroom extracts sourced?

Pai cultures its mushroom cells in-house through controlled fermentation rather than wild-harvesting. This delivers standardised concentrations of bioactive compounds batch to batch, eliminates seasonal variability in potency, and significantly reduces the environmental impact of raw material sourcing.

What certifications does this product hold?

It's certified natural by COSMOS, certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny, and verified vegan. The formula is 100% natural origin, free from parabens, silicones, sulfates, alcohol, fragrance, gluten, and 15+ additional potentially harmful ingredients.

Why three mushrooms instead of one?

Each mushroom brings a different class of bioactive compound to the formula. Reishi's ganoderic acids (triterpenoids) modulate inflammatory signalling, Chaga's beta-glucans and polyphenols restore the skin barrier, and Cordyceps' cordycepin boosts cellular energy. In a 40-person clinical trial, Cordyceps extract alone boosted skin cell ATP by 68% and increased collagen production by 69% in vitro. Combining all three means if one mechanism is less relevant for your particular skin biology, the others compensate.

What role does glutamine play in this formula?

All three mushroom species are naturally rich in the amino acid L-glutamine, which directly inhibits NF-kappaB, the master switch controlling pro-inflammatory gene expression. Glutamine also supports your skin's glutathione antioxidant defence system, helping cells maintain their defences under stress before a minor trigger escalates into a visible flare-up.

What clinical evidence supports the ingredients in the Tri-Mushroom Booster?

A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (40 subjects, 28 days) found Cordyceps extract reduced wrinkles by 28%, cut reactive oxygen species by 30%, and increased collagen production by 10% in vivo. Separately, published research confirms that Reishi's ganoderic acids and Chaga's polysaccharides each suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines through the NF-kappaB pathway, and a single case study showed topical Reishi produced near-complete regression of inflammatory lesions within 3 days. The finished formula is also 96-hour patch tested on volunteers with reactive skin.

What makes this different from other calming skincare products?

Most soothing products target one inflammatory pathway with a single ingredient like centella or chamomile. Tri-Mushroom delivers three distinct bioactive classes (triterpenoids, polyphenols, and cordycepin), each interrupting a different arm of the inflammatory cascade, at a combined 10% mushroom extract concentration far higher than typical mushroom-containing serums or moisturisers. A 2024 systematic review in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology formally classified topical adaptogens as ingredients that decrease skin reactivity while enhancing skin stamina through multitargeted homeostatic mechanisms, which is exactly how this formula works.

Reviews

Amazing stuff!

"Really lovely booster. I use this one more than any of them as it makes my skin look brighter and smoother instantly"

— Lea L. (5/5)

Amazing!!

"I have combination skin with a very oily t-zone in summer, but it's still dry and patchy on cheeks. Plus, I have this lovely new menopausal discoloration, uneven tone and redness🙄 Mushroom complex has really helped my dog's tummy, so I decided to try this lol Mix with my regular moisturizer at bedtime, and it feels amazing. It really smooths out the rough areas but doesn't make the oily bits worse. It feels silky and lovely and looks less red in the morning. It kind of stung very, very slightly the first few times but not anymore. I bought another bottle in the 3 for 2 sale, and I love the retinol booster, too!"

— Vicki L. (5/5)

So soothing

"I love this product and have used it since it launched. It makes my skill feel so happy! I just love using it alongside the Vegan collagen and Peptides and my skin has never been so happy! Thank you Pai, I love it!"

— Michelle S. (5/5)

A great addition to his skincare.

"Great to soothe my partners sensitive Skin."

— Desirée V. (5/5)

Not for daily use

"It's bit something I can use daily. Maybe once in a while"

— Reema H. (4/5)

the absolute best!

"This is the best thing I have ever used for my rosacea, hands down! I use it as a serum after the Pai spray and it helps every single time!"

— Rafaella N. (5/5)

Tri-Mushroom Booster

"Lovely booster. Nice when your skin needs that bit extra. It was a repurchase for me."

— Dagmar L. (5/5)

Absolutely love this product!

"I was already a mushroom fun on multiple levels but this added a whole new layer! The smoothness of this is delicious and the tone of my skin is evening out so nicely. I do feel this product "goes" quickly - for example in comparison with the vit c serum (same size bottle) - I've used twice as much but not necessarily applied more / more often. So that's a bit of a mystery. But otherwise super happy with this :-)"

— Myrthe P. (5/5)

No more redness

"Calms my skin very well!"

— Sascha C. (5/5)

Tri-Mushroom Helps Reduce Rosacea

"Before I saw on your website that Tri-Mushroom was good for rosacea I had discovered that through trial and error. It works better (around my nose) than the prescription ointment that I have been using. It hasn't elimiinated the problem but it has diminished."

— Mary W. (5/5)

Would this help calm psoriasis?: Hi Pam, Yes! This trio of powerful fungi reduces irritation, while antioxidant action from Glutamine helps keep future flare-ups at bay. It is a comforting recipe for calmer, healthier, and less sensitised skin. Pai Customer Experience Team
Hi! Can your serums be used mixed with an oil, like your rosehip one or with squalane, or is it better to apply it before?: Hi Cyrielle! We don't recommend mixing our serums with an oil but they can be layered over the top of one another. We recommend applying the serum first and the oil over the top. We hope this helps!
