I had an all-over-the-body reaction to using a depilatory, resulting in tons of awful, swollen bumps and ingrown hairs on my skin. They were painful, they weren't going anywhere for weeks, and I was starting to pick at them (I know, I know). I had tried salicylic acid, African black soap, and antibacterial gel to get rid of them. It wasn't until I used this serum all over that I finally saw any progress -- and oh, the progress! After one use, the redness and swelling went down within a few hours. After the second use, I could already notice faster healing on the ones I had picked at. I'm stoked to see what the third use brings! Really impressive product that's saving my hide...literally!
I have eczema/ atitis on my hands from hand sanitizer use during pandemic. It wouldnโt heal with hydrocortisone but this serum seems to be calming it down.
this serum has become a staple in my everyday skincare routine as someone who has very dry and sensitive skin and also deals with redness on a daily basis. it is very hydrating and does an amazing job at soothing and calming my redness leaving my skin looking so refreshed. itโs very lightweight and doesnโt feel greasy! I love getting ready with this product because of the benefits it does for your skin and also because itโs pink!!
I was gifted this product complimentary from The Ordinary in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. The Ordinaryโs Soothing & Barrier Support Serum has been so good for my acne/rosacea. I have only been using it at night because the color of the serum is bright pink. I thought it would make my skin look pink and immediately after application, the pink color does linger. That is why I have made this my nighttime serum. The benefits are totally worth it though. I have noticed my skin is softer and less irritated. My problem areas are on my cheeks and this has helped to soothe the skin there. I would recommend this to those who have irritated skin due to over exfoliation, acne, or rosacea. I imagine that this will be even more helpful in the wintertime.
I have dry sensitive skin. I don't know if it's because I'm in my 30s or because I moved to a desert climate but for the last 4 years I've struggled with having redness and large pores on my nose and cheeks. I have reacted poorly to a lot of products over the years so I tested this product on the back of my hand and inside of my wrist and waited 48 hours before putting it on my face. After I had no reaction I used it on my face at night. I did have a small break out after using it for the first time and waited 2 days before trying it again. My face seems to have adjusted and I finally have something to reduce my face redness. My nose and cheeks look the best they have in 4 years.
Bought this a month an ago and the results have been more than expected. I will definitely continue buy your products.
I usually have pretty good skin but I suddenly started breaking out a few months ago and it seemed like nothing was helping. (I think stress and my skin was too dry after moving to a different climate) Nothing seemed to help until I tried this and its been such a relief, my skin already looks sooo much better. I have since started using the True Botanicals vitamin C powder and pure radiance oil (expensive I know) to reduce dark spots and its made a huge difference!
Great serum for everyday use, it has become one of my essentials! It makes my skin glow and after a couple of weeks of daily use, I see the general redness on my cheeks has almost disappear. I use it with the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides), Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion and (only during summer/autums) Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan. It works perfectly. Plus, the colour is just so fun and the smell is quite soft and neutral.
I picked it up during a vacation trip when it was first launched because I forgot my prescription ceramide cream at home for my perioral atitis. I found it very soothing and comforting. Interestingly, my stubborn perioral atitis that bothered me for 4-5 years has mostly gone away after about 4 weeks of use!!! I am not sure if itโs a result of a less stressful psychological state, or if itโs all from this product. Just thought I should share my experience out there for people who are hopeless with their skin sensitivity. Itโs definitely worth a try with this price point ๐
I really love this serum and bought a few bottles while on sale. I was using upto 2xs a day but I decided to slow down as it seemed unnecessary. I like to put this on any time my skin doesn't feel right and this usually makes everything better again. Becareful with layering as this has pilled on me a few times that I started out with this serum. Don't go overkill on it and you'll appreciate it more. Fantastic PINK stuff.
Pleasantly surprised to see this product is pink!! This felt nice on the skin and is soothing. It does leave a slight pink tint on the skin so try to use at night. Overall love this product. It doesnโt feel sticky or break me out. Gifted by the ordinary.
Redness around my nose has been one of my concerns for years. I heard about the magic of this product and wanted to try it. I have been using it for 2 weeks already and I have noticed and improvement already. Once that I apply it, it automatically looks way better and makes also my makeup to look flawless.

This was gifted by the ordinary. I have used their skincare for so many reasons and I am glad to add this to the collection. I have found their products to be effective and affordable. I also have bought so many other products from them on my own and do not regret any of it.
Gifted by the ordinary in exchange for review. I really enjoy this serum! Itโs moisturizing but not heavy or greasy like some barrier products tend to be. Itโs a nice light wait option for incorporating skin barrier healthy ingredients into your routine!
Gifted by theordinary This product is a game changer if you have redness or inflammation. For me personally, I noticed a difference within days of using. After using, my skin looked and felt renewed. Which is why this product will be a staple in my skincare collection.
Gifted by The Ordinary, Iโve observed a remarkable boost in my skinโs comfort and durability over the past few weeks. This serum truly lives up to its name, soothing irritation and fortifying my skinโs barrier. My complexion now feels more balanced and is less susceptible to redness or sensitivity. Additionally, the serum has enhanced my skinโs texture and hydration, all while avoiding any breakouts or discomfort.
Skin type: dry sensitive. I've been using bottle after bottle and my skin genuinely loves this stuff. Initially I got this product to reduce redness and re my very damaged skin barrier. Holy moly after a week did I notice a difference. My skin is brighter, I have more moisture, and my overall tone is more even. This has really transformed my skin barrier from all the damage in my twenties. I suffer with hormonal acne and a damaged skin barrier made it so much worse. This really is an amazing serum. I've gone from using it twice daily to using it on nights I exfoliate and occasionally in the mornings after I hit the retinol a little too hard. I HIGHLY recommend this serum if you're looking to reduce redness and re a damaged skin barrier.
I was recently diagnosed with contact atitis that caused redness, itching and blisters all over my face. My atologist recommended topical ointments that were not only expensive but didnโt resolve the issue. My allergist didnโt agree with my atologistโs treatment. All to say, I felt pretty hopeless but tried this and it red my skin almost instantly. For anyone with contact atitis, highly recommend trying this or asking your medical professional about it as needed.

This product was gifted by theordinary and I absolutely love it! I love that the serum is pink but also that it really does help. I have very sensitive skin and a damaged skin barrier and this product has helped tremendously! Any inflamed spots I had have subsided. I would recommend this product to anyone who has sensitive skin, uses retinol or has a damaged skin barrier.
This serum was gifted by theordinary to me. I love how it feels on my skin. Without being heavy or sticky it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump. It almost feels like a protective barrier on my skin and I love using it at night.
Barrier Serum is a great lightweight moisturizing serum. It is loose and goes on easily and it actually soaks into your skin pretty quick leaving no residue. I was looking for a ceramide skin barrier as I Use trentonin and it dries out your skin
I adore this product that The Ordinary gifted me! I just love how itโs made my skin feel and just a few of usage! I definitely recommend this product. I truly do see a difference in my skin and pours looking a lot smoother with and without make up! (Gifted by theordinary)
This product was gifted by theordinary and I am absolutely thrilled with it! This serum has exceeded all my expectations! Dealing with sensitive skin that tends to flare up easily, finding a serum that not only calms but also strengthens my skin's natural defenses has been a game-changer for me. From the moment I applied it, I was impressed by its lightweight, gel-like texture. It sinks into the skin effortlessly, leaving it feeling instantly soothed and hydrated. The serum's combination of ceramides, probiotics, and peptides delivers on its promise of fortifying the skin's barrier. Over time, I've noticed a remarkable reduction in redness and increased resilience in my skin. What I appreciate most is its versatility. It layers beautifully under my moisturizer and makeup without any greasiness or pilling, making it an integral part of my morning and evening skincare routines. The packaging is both practical and hygienic with its dropper bottle, ensuring precise application each time. And considering the quality of ingredients and its effectiveness, the price point is incredibly reasonable compared to other products on the market. For anyone struggling with sensitive skin or looking to enhance their skin's barrier function, I highly recommend The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum. It's affordable, effective, and has become a staple in my skincare regimen.
I tried many premium serums but this one is the best of all of them. It makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated and I really notice the difference when I run out and don't replenish in time
I canโt get enough of this holy grail serum. It really helps alleviate my sensitive and acne prone skin . My skin drinks this up and canโt stop falling in love with how less red and irritated my skin looks every use. Gifted by The Ordinary
This serum makes my skin feel great, calm and moisturized. It absorbed easily, without leaving any greasy feeling or any residue. I didn't like the smell that much, but it disappeared after a bit. It doesn't irritate my sem-sensitive skin at all, but it does pill a little when combined with the ordinary's niacinamide, gifted by theordinary in exchange for my honest review
Gifted by the ordinary. I absolutely love this serum! Itโs soothing and the pink color just elevates the experience. I find many barrier products too thick, but this is just the right texture in my opinion.
I absolutely love Ordinary products and was gifted by TheOrdrinary. At first, the product scared me a bit, but it did go on the skin nicely and the color of the serum is pretty. If you have sensitive skin, I would see how it goes first before implementing it into your whole routine.
this serum improved my skin!! my skin barrier was ruined before from using too many harsh products, but this serum has improved my skin. my skin no longer stings when i use skincare on it, so i recommend this product to anyone!
I have been enjoying this product as it has helped the process of restoring my skin barrier. My skin has been dull and dry. However when i use this my skin feels plump and hydrated. I apply this both in the morning and at nighttime. I have also previously been using products that were harsher for my skin in sense damaging my skin barrier. However now it is slowly getting better. gifted by the ordinary
This will for sure be a new item in my routine. I added it with the ha and peptide serum and have seen a big difference in the dry area around my nose. It has only been a couple days but I think itโs whatโs bringing results. It was gifted by theordinary to test out.
I received the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum complimentary from The Ordinary in exchange for my honest review. This serum is a very budget friendly option that works well to hydrate my skin. It is a no frills product that truly works. The texture is nice and it absorbs into my skin quickly.
Love this product and how it made my skin feel. I used it for a couple of days before making this review just to make sure that it really works and it does!
