The Ordinary’s ‘amazing’ and ‘chefs kiss’ £17 Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a must for sensitive skin
THE ORDINARY is the affordable, sustainable beauty brand we have known and loved, ever since it landed on our radar in 2016. We love The Ordinary’s Caffeine solution for dark under eyes, hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, as well as the Niacinamide and Zinc blend.
But there’s another failsafe product we love and it comes in the form of The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier support serum, which has proved to be a sell-out success.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum, £17.30 from The Ordinary
The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum retails for £17.30 from The Ordinary.
The serum also hailed the “pink potion”, is one product we need on our radar.
The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a hero product because it has many skin benefits.
The Ordinary prides itself on simple, vegan and cruelty-free products, and the serum, which is suitable for all skin types, works to improve skin tone and texture and reduce the appearance of redness – while also soothing the skin, hydrating the dermis and leaving your skin radiancy.
The Soothing & Barrier Serum has also been described as a treatment, and the second step in your skincare routine, to protect your skin barrier, which is essential to protect from harmful UV rays and environmental aggressors.
The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is designed to be applied after cleansing, but before applying serums, oils and creams.
While it protects the skin’s barrier for two hours, it also works to deeply hydrate the skin.
It does all this with ease thanks to its potent ingredient formula.
The inclusion of Vitamin B12 works to support the skin barrier and reduce dry skin, while also hydrating the skin, and reducing redness.
Gallic Acid may be a new ingredient some may be unfamiliar with, but the trio of activated forms of gallic acid inside this formulation soothe distressed skin and calm any irritation.
Bisabolol also works to reduce the appearance of redness, while ceramide complex, made from plant sources, is a topical solution to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Alongside Niacinamide to ensure your skin gets the desired hydration it craves, and Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies to protect the skin.
The combination of ingredients has been proven to boost skin hydration by 86%, which is ideal for all skin types, especially those with dry skin.
The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum has already garnered hundreds of glowing reviews, with an average of 4.8 out of five stars, and that’s before it officially launched on the site.
One happy shopper gushed: “This product has helped me repair my skin by soothing it. I have somewhat red skin in the morning and this calms it down! This has an amazing boost of hydration.”
Another added: “I am in my mid-30s, therefore, I started recently using quite a lot of products with retinal, which is amazing for anti-ageing signs however, they do sensitise my skin, and sometimes I get redness because my skin barrier is compromised.
“This soothing and barrier support serum is exactly what I needed to reduce the irritation I get from retinal.
“Usually, I apply it at night time when I experience, irritation, or redness, and by morning is all gone. Amazing product I highly recommend.”
