This serum has changed my face

This serum has changed my face and simplified my routine. I used to layer a whole lot of different serums and creams, different ingredients to do different things, but then this one came along and cleared out my cupboard. Firstly I pop on a generous dollop of The Ordinary "Niacinamide & Zinc" seru...

Disappointed

I really love this company and their products but this one was a miss for me. Not only did it not treat the redness, but it actually amplified it. When I put it on, my skin reacts to it and I turn cherry red. I really wanted to love this product.

Pepto for your face

I love this little Pepto Bismal looking serum. You know how Pepto calms your tummy? This does the same for your skin. I purchased it to use on my repair stages after retinal. It's so nice to put on and plumps my skin up. I even notice my skin still feels plump after I wake up and it's been sitting all night! No discomfort even after some rough skin treatments. I love it so much I will be repurchasing.

I am so happy that I finally decided to try this! It works amazingly! I have sensitive, dry, very acne prone skin. I can at anytime be dealing with redness and needing barrier repair. I accidently mixed a couple ingredients on my skin that I should not have and ended up burning a couple areas. This took those spots from red and stinging to calm, instantly sod and redness went way down within a day! The repairing happened that quick! This is now a staple in my routine. I think this is the best product Ordinary has. Oh and sidenote, I love the way it smells lol :) there's no fragrance added, of course— it's just the natural scent of it. :)

Makes my skin glow like no other!!

What really stands out about this product for me is that it really seems to enhance whatever I layer it with. Everything in my routine just seems to sink so much better into my skin when I layer this serum on, and it makes my face just so much more hydrated.

Q
I purchased this, but are you supposed to layer it with any other serums or anything bc you skin started to pill up after I applied my HYA and then moisturized.
Asked by Compromised Barrier
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum can be layered with other serums. As it is an emulsion, we recommend applying it after water-based serums and using 2-3 drops for the entire face to avoid pilling.Was this answer helpful to you
