Soothing & Barrier Support Serum – Sérum na obličej

Absolutely horrible and painful

I literally never EVER write reviews. I love reading reviews though (how ironic). Anyways, I’m writing this because I’ve never broken out in my life. Literally ever. This stuff made me have the most painful red sores on my face(no heads on them) and made my skin completely red. It was actually insane. I’m returning tomorrow.

Sensitive skin girls please stay away from this serum. It gave me big pimples on my jawline and my forehead. Its won’t support your skin barrier it’ll mess it up more.

Calming, hydrating formula perfect for sensitivity

The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a gentle, hydrating serum designed to calm irritation and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Packaged in a sleek pink-tinted glass bottle with a dropper, it feels both clinical and chic. The texture is lightweight and creamy, absorbing quickly into the skin without any greasiness or residue. It’s packed with skin-soothing ingredients like 2% niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, vitamin B12, ceramides, and bisabolol—all known for their calming and barrier-repairing properties. Although it’s fragrance-free, some users detect a faint, chalky scent that fades quickly. In terms of results, the serum delivers on its promises, helping to reduce redness, improve hydration, and support overall skin health. It’s especially helpful for sensitive or compromised skin, making it a great addition to any calming skincare routine.

HORRIBLE

i have super dry, sensitive skin. i NEVER get zits. maybe three a year MAX, never at the same time, and never for more than a day or two (they never become whiteheads). this made me break out in zits for the first time in my life

Sadly didn’t work

After using this product for a couple of weeks, I will be returning it. I have rosacea and it’s hasn’t helped - I’ve been breaking out worse than ever and the redness in my skin has intensified. I think it just doesn’t work for personally, because the product felt nice on application.

Caused milia all over face

Worked really well at first but then gave me milia all over my face and made my pores HUGE. I have very dry and dehydrated skin so clogged pores usually aren’t an issue, but this created very hard blocked pores that are difficult to remove.

Made my skin worse OMG!

OMG this product is absolutely horrible in every way! Both my husband and I broke out and made our skin even more sensitive and red! It also smells horrible!!!

You can skip… not for aging dry skin.

I have dry aging skin, and using this barrier serum I noticed clumping and pink pilling near edges. My skin was washed, moisturized. Unfortunately I would not purchase again.

Indeed it’s pretty pink - but also does wonders ! I’m really impressed with the formula, colour and it’s result.

Good for compromised skin barrier

This product has been helping my skin recover after some major over exfoliating. I've had red bumps and itchy patches. It's helped fight dryness and soothe my skin to resist the urge to scratch. For normal skin, you may not feel a big change. But if it's compromised like mine, this product (along with some others) can help bring your barrier back.

I’ve used this for the past couple months and honestly I just noticed it makes my face rly red and oily. I feel like it’s best for dry skin

Good for sensitive skin, but not for redness

I am torn about this product. I feel like it has helped my skin barrier. My skin feels less irritated, but I don’t think it has helped my redness, especially cause the product is so pink. It stains my skin. I don’t like that as someone with rosacea. I do recommend it for sensitive skin, but not for rednesss.
