I love a lot of products from the Ordinary and this is another amazing one. This serum claims to help improve the look of uneven skin texture, soothe appearance of redness and promote brighter skin. After trying it for a while I’m hooked. Made with really great ingredients to help support your skin barrier: -Vitamin A12: Reduces inflammation, redness and even acne. Plus it’s responsible for the fuchsia pink color of the serum. -Ceramide Complex: Helps to moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier, protect the skin. -2% Niacinamide: Help promote skin hydration, calms skin, and helps support a healthy skin barrier. -Soothing Complex: Reduces the feel of skin tightness and discomfort from dryness. -Centella Asiatic Phytoechnologies: Help protect skin from irritation. ... MoreI love a lot of products from the Ordinary and this is another amazing one.

This serum is a fuchsia color but dries down clear on the skin, has a slight medicinal scent but isn’t unpleasant. The scent dissipates quickly, as does the product itself. It doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable, isn’t tightening on the skin, but rather dries down with a nice soft feeling. After using this serum for a few days I can actually tell a big difference. My skin is touch-ably softer, a lot smoother, and looks overall better in general. My combo skin con actually get dry even in the summertime, but adding this serum into my routine I can tell a difference in the hydration of my skin. I didn’t realize just how much my skin would benefit from this extra moisturizing step into my daily routine. I haven’t noticed any difference in the fine lines under my eyes, but mu skin tone has greatly improved. I’ve also had fewer breakouts and blackheads thanks to the added niacinamide in the serum. All in all I have fell in love with this serum. Adding it into my routine has increased the moisture of my skin, helped even out my skin tone and texture, while giving my overall appearance a more healthy look. This serum is a little more pricy that most, $17, but still affordable enough to continue to use this everyday. I definitely recommend this to any wanting to up their hydration game and help support their skins barrier. With so many great beneficial ingredients, this is a fabulous serum for any skin tone.

Let me see start by saying this was my first voxbox! I am already a huge fan of “the ordinary” skincare and was seriously so overjoyed when I saw that this product was being sent to me! I have a VERY broken skin barrier that is dull and dry due to living in southern Arizona, and due to my eczema that is exclusively on my face. I have tried so many products as of recent to help restore my skin barrier but THIS is the first product that I’ve found that is explicitly just for that! For starters let me say I am OBSESSED with the color of this serum, it’s Barbie pink which is just so fun to apply, although it dries down clear once applied. This serum makes my skin feel so hydrated and smooth right after application and dry down as well. Due to my eczema my skin ... MoreLet me see start by saying this was my first voxbox!

(Picture of my face is before use of this product, I am going to post an a update of my skin 2 weeks after use!) I’m not even kidding you this serum felt like it had made a massive impact on my skin hours after I first applied it. I totally would’ve purchased this serum with my own money due to my skins need for this, so I am just so thankful Influenster gave me the opportunity to receive this product for the small price of a review and for the big benefit of my skin looking worlds better after using it!

The Ordinary’s Soothing Barrier Support Serum is intended to soothe skin discomfort, reduce appearance of redness, and support skin barrier repair. Overall, this is an affordable, pleasant serum from a trusted brand that can easily be incorporated into your routine. It does not contain harsh actives or irritants and seems to leave my skin with a more softened, hydrated feel.* SENSORY EXPERIENCE: - The product packaging reflects the simple, medicinal aesthetic that is typical of The Ordinary brand. However, you may be surprised to find that the bottle’s contents are a striking hot pink color. Apparently, the serum’s bright pink hue is naturally derived from Vitamin B12, one of the highlighted ingredients said to help relieve stressed and sensitive skin.

Overall, this is an affordable, pleasant serum from a trusted brand that can easily be incorporated into your routine. It does not contain harsh actives or irritants and seems to leave my skin with a more softened, hydrated feel.* SENSORY EXPERIENCE: - The product packaging reflects the simple, medicinal aesthetic that is typical of The Ordinary brand. However, you may be surprised to find that the bottle’s contents are a striking hot pink color. Apparently, the serum’s bright pink hue is naturally derived from Vitamin B12, one of the highlighted ingredients said to help relieve stressed and sensitive skin. Great for adding a fun pop of color to your skincare routine (or evoking childhood memories of Amoxicillin). - Speaking of childhood nostalgia, the serum smells faintly of play-doh. I don’t mind it. It’s not overpowering at all and is a worthy trade off for being a fragrance-free product. It doesn’t linger either. - Texture is smooth, not too sticky. It’s relatively thick so you don’t need a lot for adequate coverage. Because the ingredients are soothing and non-irritating, there shouldn’t be any stinging sensation. In fact, it feels soft and lightweight on the skin shortly after application and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. USAGE: - Easy to dispense dropper. A little goes a long way. You may need to rub in a bit but it absorbs quickly. Initially may appear a little rosy on the face before it absorbs. It feels very hydrating and mild, and therefore can likely be incorporated safely into most skin routines and for most skin types. - I’ve been using in the AM after cleansing and before moisturizer and SPF. The only exception is on days when I want to incorporate a Vitamin C serum, per the product instructions (I’m not sure why they say not to layer these, nor have I been brave enough to find out). That is something to keep in mind if you use Vitamin C. - I’ve also been experimenting with using it in the PM before or after my Tretinoin step, always leaving some time in between actives. So far, it seems to play nicely and I’m happy that I can incorporate this into my routine without worrying about further irritating or inflaming my skin. EFFICACY / ADDITIONAL NOTES: - Having only used this serum for a couple of weeks, I can’t speak to the long-term impact. That said, I’m pleased with the results I’ve seen in the short-term, noticeably the improved skin softness, reduced dryness and tightness, and improved hydration. I also feel confident in ingredients like Niacinamide and ceramides, the benefits of which have been widely accepted, relatively speaking. - I will continue to use this product and would recommend it for those with sensitive or reactive skin and for those who are looking to offset the drying impact of retinols or exfoliation. The price point ($17 USD) is friendly enough to test it out! *Incentivized: I was provided this product in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are my own.

For context, I have sensitive, eczema prone, combination skin. I was incredibly excited to try out this product, as I love The Ordinary and their sensitive-skin friendly products! The pros: - It definitely does what it says! Over the two weeks of me using the product, I felt my skin getting much more hydration. - The color itself is gorgeous (pictured), I’ve never had any pink skincare serums. - The consistency and absorption is pretty solid as well, this product was easy to incorporate into my routine without pilling or tackiness. - No allergic reaction, always a plus! The cons: - I seldom get breakouts. Sadly, I’m not sure that my skin does not agree with this product. While my skin itself feels better to the touch, my pores have definitely looked clogged.

The cons: - I seldom get breakouts. Sadly, I’m not sure that my skin does not agree with this product. While my skin itself feels better to the touch, my pores have definitely looked clogged. I’m also getting more closed comedones than usual. I wouldn’t say that they’re major breakouts, but definitely something to keep note of. - I just didn’t feel like I needed to use it as often as directed (twice daily). Within the first few days, my skin barrier felt completely solid, and it felt like the daily use was over hydrating my skin. - The smell, as others have mentioned, is a bit off-putting at first. Very chemical-y. My main takeaways are that while this isn’t a new daily product for me, I am going to keep it around just to try out every once in a while when I need an extra boost. I did see an increase in hydration and skin glowiness, but at the cost of some clogged pores.

Plus, it's a great coincidence that the Barbie movie just came out, so it's like I'm channeling my inner Barbie while using it! 💁‍♀️💖✨ Now, beyond the delightful pink color, this serum aims to soothe and support the skin's natural barrier function, which is crucial for maintaining healthy and resilient skin. It's formulated with a blend of ingredients known for their soothing properties, such as squalane, ceramides, and bisabolol. Sounds promising, right? ... MoreNow, full disclosure, I haven't used this serum for an extended period of time, but I can still share my initial impressions. So here we go!
