Soothing and Great for My Skin Barrier
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really like this serum! It feels soothing and hydrating on my skin, especially when my face is feeling dry, irritated, or a little red. The texture is lightweight and absorbs nicely without leaving my skin feeling greasy or sticky. I’ve been able to layer it easily with the rest of my skincare routine, and my skin feels softer and more comfortable after using it. I also love the pink color! Definitely one of my favorite products from The Ordinary. ... show more

Great after exfoliating to preserve skin barrier
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I use this serum after I apply an AHA/BHA exfoliant with lactic acid and immediately apply a night cream. All the glow and none of the tightness! It prevents irritation and helps preserve my skin barrier. There’s no discernible fragrance and the consistency is rich without being sticky or tacky. It absorbs easily. ... show more

A Gentle Lifesaver for My Irritated Skin
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been struggling with redness and irritation around my cheeks and nose for months, and honestly, I was getting pretty frustrated with my skin. A friend recommended The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum, and I’m so glad I listened to her! What I love most about this serum is how quickly it works. The product claims it helps recover the skin barrier in 2 hours, and while I can’t say I timed it exactly, I definitely noticed my skin feeling calmer and less angry within hours of my first application. The redness that usually flares up after cleansing was noticeably reduced. The texture is lightweight and absorbs beautifully without any stickiness. Since it’s fragrance-free, there’s no scent at all, which is perfect for my sensitive skin. I use it both morning and evening as directed – just a few drops go a long way. The hydration boost is real too. My skin feels plump and moisturized all day, which has been a game-changer during these colder months. I love that it contains ceramides and other skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide and Centella Asiatica – it feels like I’m giving my skin exactly what it needs to heal. The only minor downside is that you do need to patch test first (which I learned the hard way with another product!), but I had zero issues with this serum. Overall, this has become a non-negotiable step in my routine. For the price point, you really can’t beat the results. My skin looks calmer, feels more comfortable, and I finally have that healthy glow I’ve been chasing. Definitely repurchasing! ... show more

It works and it doesn't cost an fortune for quality skincare
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin was a mess. I was having terrible skin issues with redness, flaking, itching, etc. I stripped back my skincare routine to something very moisturizing, and after doing some research, I realized my skin barrier was broken. I found this and tried it. I noticed improvement after a few days of using. It is hydrating and soothing, as it states. I have repurchased it 3 times. I tried another skin barrier product, and it was more expensive and didn't do the same job. Ordinary is such a great product without spending a fortune. ... show more

Helped Calm Down Skin Irritation Caused by Heat
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Amazon is asking me to comment about skin irritation. What I experienced was a rosacea flare brought on by being left too long on a heating pad at my physical therapist's office. I wasn't paying attention to how long I was on the heat, although it felt like much longer than usual. And they failed (or their timer did) to realize that I was over-cooking. By the end of that evening my cheeks were almost literally tomato red. I researched what to do - cool compresses, discontinue use of other skin care like Vitamin C and other serums which can be irritating. My research indicated that "The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum" contained recommended ingredients to calm down the reaction I'd had. And it did! Even without using the Rx I can use for the rosacea, The Ordinary Serum did the job quite well. It did help reduce redness and felt soothing and hydrating. ... show more

Actually works for me
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have mild rosacea with redness and milia. I've tried compound prescriptions and layering OTC products with little to no effect, which often caused stinging. I patched tested The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum with no negative reaction. I've been using this every night along with The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA for the past 3 weeks. The redness has diminished greatly and milia has even reduced. I don't wear makeup so my skin used to look very red during video conferences, and now my skin looks normal on camera. I still haven't experienced any stinging or discomfort, which is amazing. The serum goes on smooth and spreads easily. There is no noticeable fragrance. The pink color is weird and does show on the skin until it absorbs. It tacky feeling goes away once it absorbs after several minutes Overall I am very pleased with results. The price is great since it looks like one bottle will last 2+ months for me. ... show more

A Miracle for Sensitive Skin
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have extremely sensitive skin, and when I say that, I really mean it. I have gone through so many products that I’ve had to either give away or throw out because they give me hives or contact dermatitis. I also struggle a lot with skin redness, dryness, and texture issues. I have EDS (if you know, you know) which also causes me issues with my skin. I’m also very sensitive to scents. This product has been amazing. I use it day and night, and have been for a couple months now. No reactions so far! Even when my skin has been in a flare up of sensitivity, it’s soothing and doesn’t burn or irritate things more. I truly believe it’s been helping to improve my skin barrier and calm things down. If I miss a day or two, I can definitely see things getting worse again. It’s incredibly easy to use and leaves a nice glow on your skin afterwards. Great for days you’re not wearing makeup! But also works well under makeup as well. You also just can’t beat the price point. It’s so fairly priced, and you get a lot of product. I’ve picked up several The Ordinary products over the past six months since discovering them, and you honestly cannot go wrong with this brand. Their ingredients are transparent and simple, and I haven’t reacted to anything I’ve tried. I’ve started recommending them to all my family and friends, and had a couple people already make the switch. It works better than products 4 times the price. Truly an amazing company and an amazing product. ... show more

Not my favorite product from The Ordinary. Causes makeup to slide off
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have several products from this company and they are always great products for a great price. This is the first one I am struggling with. I developed some redness around my nose and cheeks and saw they offered exactly the product for this. Unfortunately for me while it seems to have some impact on the redness, I can't use it during the day because as soon as I apply it my face starts to sweat in those areas and my makeup melts off. I can only apply it at night so it will take longer for me to see if it is effective long-term. ... show more
