The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum, Redness-Reducing & Hydrating Solution with Centella Asiatica for Skin Barrier Repair

I love this serum when my face is in need of a little bit of barrier support TLC! It helps calm my skin from irritation, inflammation and redness. It feels really good on the skin and because it is pink it adds a pretty little glow. It is not sticky or greasy and has not caused me any irritation or breakouts...FYI - I do have semi sensitive skin. I know there's a lot of barrier support serums on the market, but this is definitely a great serum if you're on a budget. I definitely will be repurchasing again.

Incredible value when on sale. The quality is just unmatched, it's well worth it even when it's not on sale. I’ve tried a lot of barrier repair products, and honestly, this one blew me out the water. The Ordinary’s barrier serum works better for me than both La Roche-Posay Cicaplast and the Cetaphil Ceramide Serum. If your skin barrier is compromised this is what you need. After microneedling or repairing your skin from overzealous tretinoin, it won't sting or cause further irritation, and you really do heal much faster. I've switched out my 7 step K beauty routine for just this. It's lightweight, doesn't pill, it really just makes your skin feel like healthy and hydrated skin. No stickiness, just moisture. Perfect under makeup.

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.

This serum is amazing if your skin barrier needs support. It feels very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare without pilling. I’ve noticed my skin feels more elastic, calmer, and less irritated, especially on days after using actives like retinol. It doesn’t have a strong scent, which I personally appreciate since my skin can be sensitive. Application is very easy, the dropper works well and the texture spreads smoothly without feeling sticky or heavy. For the price, the quality is excellent. You’re getting a soothing, barrier-support formula that truly works without being expensive. Definitely recommend, especially if you’re looking for something lightweight that dries quickly and supports skin recovery.

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This serum feels soothing right away and helps reduce redness with consistent use. It gives a nice boost of hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. The results aren’t instant, but over time the skin barrier does feel more balanced. A great addition for sensitive or irritated skin.

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.

I'm one week into using this serum and already seeing improvement. I have type 2 rosacea, my skin has been at its worst the past few months. My flaky, tight and tingling skin has reduced by 50% so far. Redness is starting to calm by day 6. I use other products by The Ordinary so knew to patch test first, so happy my sensitive skin accepts this serum. My only dislike is it has a smell. Not overpowering, but present. I'm sensitive to some smells so usually have scent free skincare.

Super producto

works wonders! been using it consistently and my skin feels well hydrated and healthy.

肌に塗るのが怖い色をしていますが、肌が安定しています！これのほかにビタミン系の美容液とレチノーツの美容液をOrdinalyで同時に購入しました。 このスキンバリアは朝夜どちらのスキンケアにも利用していて、そのうえに毎朝ビタミン系の美容液をつけて、レチノール系の美容液は週3,4回夜にスキンバリアをつけた後に塗布しています。季節の変わり目やホルモンバランスで肌が揺らぐことがあったのですがこのルーティンが私には合っているようで肌が元気です！ちなみにリピートしています。

I used for 5 days now. I’m impressed ♥️♥️♥️♥️
