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.

Such a life saver
I have been dealing with the worst breakouts in years and my skin has felt so raw and sensitive. This was so calming and eased the raging inflammation that had taken over my face. I let it dry for a minute or two and followed it up with moisturizer (la roche double repair mousturizer) and can tell a difference that day. Who knew a serum the color of Pepto-Bismol could be so helpful?
A must have for barrier skin support!
Affordable and does the job fantastically
So far I am loving this product
Calms some redness I have on my checks. Feels so smooth and hydrating, works well with other products to minimize my blemishes and pores.
Good product
My skin felt soft after using it
Coming around to this!
At first I tried layering this serum with other serums and got a lot of redness. I almost tossed it, but tried it again with just an HA moisturizer on top and—wow. I struggle with dry patches on my cheeks in the winter and this gave me the soft, plump skin that I am barely able to achieve with a whole arsenal of (sometimes vastly more expensive) products. Sometimes less is more! This is now a winter staple for me. I even put a couple of drops on my sun-damaged forearms, which have been looking terrible this winter, and I'm amazed at how much better they look (temporarily). The only thing I'm not crazy about is the smell, which is kind of chemical-y. And what makes it pink? But I'll definitely repurchase!

- 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 EngageSoothing & 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
