Trending as 'the pink serum', The Ordinary's Soothing and Barrier Support Serum is a multi-active solution developed for sensitive skin and those prone to redness.
Providing an immediate 86%* boost in skin hydration, the serum is enriched with sugar-based humectants to lock in moisture and nourish the skin barrier. Vitamin B12 gives the serum its signature pink hue while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture levels. Bisabolol and gallic acid derivatives combine to visibly soothe the skin and reduce the appearance of redness.
The serum should be implemented into your prep, treat and seal regimen as step treat. It is recommended to apply after other similar water-based serums but before oils and creams.

Gave a nice even complexion
Loved the product to give a nice even complexion but it did break me out. I do have dry combination skin and acne prone

Too early to tell
Been using for for just under 2 weeks so a bit early to tell if its working. My skin does feel softer but overall I'd say my face still looks quite dry and dehydrated. That said, I am optimistic that with continued use (and less wine consumption!) things will improve.

Amazing
Really does repair the barrier, and helps my skin even out and has a calming effect on the skin. I often overdo it with other products and create issues with my skin barrier but this always helps to bring it back in check

Great little bottle of pinkness
This support barrier repair serum really does work. It’s reduced redness and break outs in my forehead. I’ve been using it for 10 days and it’s definitely improved the texture of my skin.it applies easily and doesn’t feel greasy on my skin. Would recommend

Really like this product.
Perfect for supporting the skin barrier for damaged skin, don't overdue it I find a little goes a long way if you apply too much it will peel so use a little.

Gave me fungal acne
My skin didn’t agree with this serum. After two uses, I noticed tiny spots around my face. They look like fungal acne.
