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.

Calm my skin
My skin was in an unstable condition after using very strong retinol and it helps calm my skin, wish it comes in a big bottle, because I used it up quickly

Love!
I received this as a tester and I wasn't expecting much. But my skin feels soft and hydrated, and this serum has really helped with dryness from cold weather. Good product for my dry and/sensitive skin. I tried to go back to my old serum but I broke out in spots! So it looks like this is my new fave serum!

Amazing product for sensitive skin or rosacea!
I have rosacea and I've been using very expensive serum for past two years and really wanted to find a cheaper alternative! Now I can say I did! Already on my second bottle! My sister and sister-in-law are trying it as well! If you have sensitive skin or rosacea - I highly recommend this product!

Soothing
I have sensitive skin and get a lot of spots and redness. I've been using this for a few weeks morning and night and it does seem to be helping with my redness. I haven't seen seen any effect on my acne yet though.

New staple in my routine
This serum is great for barrier repairing. Since using this I have noticed my face is less red and angry and helps hydrate and soothe skin. I have dry and sensitive skin and this does not react and actually helps combat this. It’s definitely important when using actives in your routine at night, that you make sure your barrier is protected. I use this every morning, would recommend!

Great barrier support
I’ve recently overdone it with acids in my routine and I’ve had to really dial it back and simplify my routine. This is helping with strengthening my skin barrier again and alleviating some irritation I’m experiencing.

Good so far
I’ve fairly sensitive skin and this took me a good week to get over the breakout it caused. However this isn’t uncommon for me to have a breakout with a new product. After the spots went down my skin really loved this serum. It makes my skin feel plumper and more hydrated. Almost like a tacky primer (But in a good way). It works well with my other skin care. I use this twice daily and would say my texture has improved. It will be good to see how it works with continued use. I’d definitely repurchase though. My advice would be good this product time if you do get an initial breakout.
