Anyone with blemish-prone skin will know and if you don’t, now you do; that stress is a trigger to causing breakouts.
Ironically knowing this stresses me out, as does trying new skincare products that could exacerbate the flare-ups.
Thankfully the almost instant soothing my skin felt after applying this serum took away the “will or won’t this aggravate my skin” turmoil that comes with the experience of trying new products, especially actives.
The anti-inflammatory and hyperpigmentation-reducing properties of one of the formula’s key ingredients; ginger root extract, were indispensable when battling my hormonal and retinol-induced breakouts.
After a few uses I really started to notice that my skin was hydrated and rid of redness; rejoice!
My journey back to healthy, glowing skin is ongoing and incorporating this serum into my routine was the re-fuel my skin needed and now I’m cruising down the highway to ‘great’ skin.
Texture-wise every day throws a new hurdle and overall I’ve seen changes for the better.
It’s always daunting trialling new actives, especially with blemish-prone skin and for this, I can vouch.
Applying The Ordinary’s Soothing Barrier Support Serum felt like I was donning my armour before exposing it to the elements that life incurs, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Final Thoughts...
My skin is now far from parched, courtesy of The Ordinary’s Soothing Barrier Support Serum.
I can happily report it delivered on its promise to reinforce my skin barrier (if you're looking for affordable products for a damaged skin barrier, add this to cart) and improve the texture and appearance of my temperamental skin.
After finishing my first bottle of this pink perfection all signs point to my impaired skin barrier being well and truly in its healing era and I’ll be repurchasing this pink panther.
I encourage everyone to have this bargain, barrier support serum serum on hand as an insurance policy for when you’ve gone a little, or a lot rouge with actives and aggravated your skin.
One of best skin barrier repair products under $50, The Ordinary’s Barrier Support Serum is in my opinion a no-brainer for anyone who wants hydrated, and happy skin or wants to address skin redness.
For those like me battling sensitive, temperamental, blemish-prone skin or the likes, I highly support you incorporating this soothing serum into your skincare routine.
Pink isn’t just for Wednesdays; with The Ordinary’s Soothing and Barrier Support Serum, why wouldn’t you opt for hydrated skin every day of the week?
