The OrdinarySoothing & Barrier Support Serum, Redness-Reducing & Hydrating Solution for Skin Barrier Recovery

Very good part of the ordinary products skin care routine. I highly recommended. I have very sensitive skin and this product helps

Helps my redness and uneven skin.

This serum is CRAZY good. So I use tretinoin and even after months of nightly use I still get quite dry skin, especially this winter season. I thought I was moisturizing enough, but clearly not because I'd wear makeup and the dry patches were just on full display.I got this product after seeing that my skin barrier is clearly a mess and I need to fix it. Dude, within the first night of use I noticed a difference the next morning when I applied my makeup.I have been continuing to use this product 2x a day: morning and night. I do not notice any issues with pilling to be honest. I also have no experienced pink stains of any sort left over on my face and I use an entire dropper of product on my face.It doesn't really smell like much of anything. It's a bright pink color. Soaks right into the skin and spreads easily.I pair this product now with a thick cica balm at night and I think the combo works. I literally still use tretinoin in the midst of all of this and absolutely ZERO issues.Here is my full night routine: Oil/balm cleanse. Regular cleanser. Milky toner. TO Barrier Serum (wait at least 10 minutes), tret (wait at least 10-20 minutes), thick cica balm (I use avene) and let that really sit for a few minutes and soak into your skin. After I will add a lighter moisturizer of any kind or I will use an overnight mask (I use the Kiehls overnight recovery mask). This may seem excessive but I find it has been working great for my barrier, not kidding. Makeup has improved so much.For morning I lightly cleanse to get the oils and all that moisturizer off of me or I will break out. I then use that same milky toner (I use laneige). Then this serum. A moisturizer and then sunscreen and proceed with day or makeup.If it helps, I just turned 28 and my regular skin without tret is still pretty dry like normal-dry, acne prone for suuuure and with tretinoin it's sahara-level dry and still acne prone but meh. I use tret for aging reasons, not acne!I hope this helps someone!!

Product seems soothing enough. There was no irritation from using it. Did it help skin recover more quickly? I don't know about that.

Love this barrier serum

This is a fantastic product. It absorbs quickly and leaves my face so soft. I have really dry skin and some redness. This product does t pill under my makeup when worn alone or with other products. And it’s under $20!! I have bought serums for $100-200, and this beats them. Yea, it looks like Pepto, which is why I passed it up a few times-this is nice thin, non-sticky formula.

I have been using this serum for over a month now and I’ve noticed that it has helped minimize red spots around my chin and nose area. It also tamed the itchiness significantly.

Effectiveness:Makes my skin feel amazing but.. if vitamin b12 makes you break out stay away. Worked great for a week but now I have horrible acne :(
