The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

One of two barrier serums that help their dryness.

“The aveeno oat one and the ordinary barrier serum both are good.”

On fair, sensitive, dry skin, two uses of the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum left their face very red, like a sunburn.

“Used it twice and noticed my face extremely red when I went to wash my face this evening.. almost like I have a sunburn.”

After 1.5 months the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum became a favorite, giving an even, healthy-looking color without building up.

“I have used this for around 1.5 months. I love the pink color.”

Woke up with small pustules the day after starting the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum.

“I have experienced the same issue! I bought it yesterday and today I walked up with those small pustules!”

Three days into daily use, the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum made their face itchy and burning, worse when they retried it.

“I used it daily and after 3 days my face started to get itchy and burned after applying it.”

After moving to a dry climate, the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum layered with HA and petroleum jelly saved their very dry skin.

“I have tried the TO barrier lately plus with the hyaluronic acid and seal it all up with the petroleum jelly. Really a savior to my skin.”

With rosacea and dry sensitive skin, the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum made their face burn and sting and gave them small pustules.

“My face was burning, stinging, and I developed small pustules all over my face.”

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum felt fine alone, but with sunscreen on top it caused burning, itching and redness.

“Cue burning, itching and redness all over my face.”

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum cleared their tretinoin irritation within 2 days.

“Damaged my skin barrier by using the wrong tube of tret I had, accidentally. As it happened I'd bought this a few days before and not used it yet. Within 2 days the tret irritation was gone.”

After 3 weeks with the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum their skin is glowing, hydrated and clearer despite hormonal breakouts in their 40s.

“I’ve had it about 3 weeks and my skin is GLOWING.”

Likes the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum after cleansing at night, but finds it too drying alone.

“I really like it so far, I apply it straight after cleansing at night.”

On acne-prone skin the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum caused an intense breakout, pilled, and left a pink film at the hairline.

“Unfortunately it broke me out SO bad.”

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum gave them the worst pilling ever on first use.

“i just bought it today and am currently experiencing the worst pilling ever”

Loves how soothing the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is within a routine full of actives.

“I love it. To explain simply, it’s like when you were a kid and scrapped your knee and your mom would bandage you up”

Using the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum alongside tretinoin with no issues so far.

“I have it but I only got it recently, so I can’t really report any long term positive results yet. However, it’s nice, I don’t have any issues with it.”

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum worked wonders on a rash from another product; moisturizing and fast-absorbing on dry skin.

“I have personally tested this serum when my skin has been irritated/gotten a rash from a snail product and it’s worked wonders for me.”

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum has a rubbery smell that moisturizer doesn't mask.

“Does it smell really rubbery to anybody else?”
