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.

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.

This is a lovely pink serum for hydration and I will definitely repurchase in the future when I have used all my other serums.

Great but don't overuse
I have been using tretinoin for a while and wanted to ensure my skin barrier remained strong so picked up this product. It's been really great to use and I can really see the effects working by the end of the week! However, I used it both morning and night and I think that was too much and I ended up in a very small breakout so adjusted to using it just in the morning or evening. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Not sure yet
Not sure if this product makes any difference yet or not as only been using it for a week. Not sure I’d buy it again.

Amazing results in 2 weeks
I got this free as part of a promotion, I don’t think I would have purchased it otherwise. The price doesn’t really match with Brandon Truaxe‘s original ethos for the brand so that’s a shame. However, this has transformed the resilience of my skin in only a few weeks. As soon as you put it on it feels soothing and hydrating, and now my skin is calm, it doesn’t flair up, redness is reduced. The product doesn’t bother my rosacea or sensitive skin, or cause breakouts. I didn’t want to love this but it will become a staple. It’s also helped with scars on my body.

Not sure
Not sure I noticed any benefit at all, will keep going with it though. I love their oils but just not sure this does anything.

Skin boost
This threw me when I opened it as it was very pink;and I was worried it would make my kin pinker, but it didn’t. Not something I’d wear all of the time, but when my skin is red or blotchy this really helps.
