This is staying in my cabinet for all-over use!
cas Verified Purchase 2025-09-06

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 sto…

Does the job

I have eczema/ atitis on my hands from hand sanitizer use during pandemic. It wouldn’t heal with hydrocortisone but this serum seems to be calming it down.

must have for those who struggle with redness!
Customer 2025-03-11

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. it’s very lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy! I love getting ready with this product because of the benefits it does for your skin and also because it’s pink!!

My skin is soothed!
Kristen 2025-03-11

I was gifted this product complimentary from The Ordinary in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. The Ordinary’s 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…

Something that finally helped
Lauren Verified Purchase 2025-03-05

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 som…

So Helpful
Cat Verified Purchase 2025-01-16

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!

On of my essentials
isau90 2025-01-08

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.
