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.

Okay
Product goes in smoothly and feels nice. It definitely needs to be added on to your routine rather than a replacement product - I started using this at the same time as I ran out of hyaluronic acid and thought this could work as an alternative but my skin became very dry, probably worsened by the change to cold weather.

Great value serum
I use a lot of different products on my skin but this one made it look great within a couple of days, which few of the others do. It's bright pink in colour which means you can see what you're applying, however it's difficult to spread across the skin as it has a tacky texture, so best to combine with micellar. It really did smooth my skin and I didn't break out as I usually do with new products, however if anything my skin seemed slightly drier than usual after using it.

I'm using many of the ordinary products as I really trusted it and everytime I saw a real effect on my skin, regarding The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum I've noticed an amazing change on my skin hydration and I'm going to keep using it, highly recommended!

Great
I have been using this serum twice daily for 3 weeks now and found that my skin is much smoother and more balanced. I experienced no irritation. The serum absorbs well. Will continue to use this serum.

Not an instant miracle but a game changer!
I was nervous to add this serum into my routine, I struggled for one day with a small breakout after sleeping in the serum. I persevered and now 3 weeks later my skin is so much clearer and softer to touch
