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.

Love it
I used this product every single day for a month straight and I do have to say, I quite like this serum. I definitely noticed a moisturizing affect especially in regards to nights when I was using harsher chemicals like AHA/BHAs and glycolic peels, I noticed much less peeling the next morning.

Not for oily skin
This seems like it would be a great serum for dry skin as when I used this on my acne prone skin I could feel that it provided good hydration, I really liked it until after a couple days of consistent use where I got some breakouts that I feel have been due to this serum. I may still use this every now and then when my skin is extra dry but as an oily skin person I would not purchase this.

Nice enough
Received this free for a review, overall I like it but it’s nothing special. I have quite dry skin and I find this makes it drier so I don’t use it every day. Not sure I will repurchase once it runs out but I will use the whole bottle

Beautiful pink colour
I really like the serum, not very hidrating but still a good serum. I have used it after micro-needling and it really soothed my skin.

The serum I never knew I needed
I was asked to trial this product by LF, when I read about the product I thought, probably something I dont need but will give it a go. Oh boy was I wrong, I always have a bit of a redish cheeks, nothing that I thought of, most people get that right with no make up. After trying this product for just one day, I could see the red go to a neutral tone, after a few days the results was even better. I couldn't believe it, I don't think I have used a skin product that I have seen such an impact. The serum itself is a very bring pink and goes on and absorbs well into the skin. Its safe to say I don't think I will be without it now, its now a permenant addition to my skin routine, and will be buying a new bottle as soon as this one is done.

Decent product
The product is decent, there are probably better serums out there though. It’s not super hydrating so not the best for dry skin.
