It ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. Slightly overdone it with one too many formulas... again? Restore balance with the Soothing and Barrier Support Serum (30ml), a vitamin-rich staple designed to reduce the look of redness while rebuilding the skin barrier over time.
A pink dream for sensitive skin types in need of hydration and redness relief, The Ordinary's Soothing and Barrier Support Serum (30ml) ticks both boxes.
Adding more than just a pop of colour to your morning and evening routines, this soothing saviour is infused with vitamin B12, gallic acid derivatives and bisabolol, which work together to help target the look of redness and minimise tightness.

Saves the day - instant repurchase
Feels instantly cooling and soothing, no fragrance, leaves a nice glow and doesn’t pill. I use this as my water based serum for the Foreo microcurrent device.

The ordinary soothingly and barrier support serrum
I love this serrum. In case you're wondering whether it leaves a pink stain on the face, it goes away after like 2 minutes. It really helps reduce redness and my skin has been feeling healthier since using this.

Perfectly pink
TikTok got it right with this one! I love how nourishing this feels, and the way it supports my skin barrier (ideal if you're using retinol or AHAs). Plus, it being pink is just the cherry on top of the cake! Match your skin care to your wardrobe xoxo

Really rate this
I really rate this, my skin barrier was absolutely battered following using retinol without any kind of barrier product for a LOOOONG time. Coupled with the change in weather and the heating being on a lot more my skin was flakey and dry. Since using this there has been a huge improvement in the texture of my skin and less irritation and dryness with the retinol. My only annoyance is it’s quite pricey for The Ordinary and I can’t really see why?

Love!
Repurchased this for a third time. Leaves my skin feeling moisturised during recent cold weather. Very good price point too! Absorbs well with other serums

Nice
Nice serum, got this due to beneficial ingredients. It is fun because it’s pink, don’t notice too much difference but I do believe maybe it’s good for irritated skin days.

Irritated my skin
I have very sensitive, acne prone skin. This irritated me and made my skin peel. I use medicated skincare for my acne, so maybe one of the ingredients didn’t react well with that. I gave it to my mum, who has more normal skin, and she loves it.

Good for dry skin
I started suffering from eczema recently and I feel like this serum helps maintaining my dry and painfully tight skin on my forehead. My eczema has cleared before starting to use this serum, but it does not seem to irritate my skin. It does not break me out either. I feel like this a bit pricey for the Ordinary, but works well in my routine.
