Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

A restorative, multi-functional serum formulated to support a healthy skin barrier and calm visible signs of irritation. The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is ideal for skin that feels compromised, sensitized, or inflamed due to over-exfoliation, dryness, or environmental stressors.
With a rich peach-toned formula, this serum is powered by a unique blend of vitamin B12, ceramides, centella asiatica, and other skin-calming ingredients that work together to relieve redness, restore hydration, and strengthen the skin’s natural defenses. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly—making it suitable for daily use, even on sensitive skin types.

Ingredients of The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

• Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Provides the formula’s natural pink color and helps soothe inflammation while promoting skin healing and even tone.
• Ceramides NP, AP, and EOP: These skin-identical lipids strengthen the skin barrier and help retain moisture, improving resilience and reducing sensitivity.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: A botanical known for its calming and antioxidant properties, it helps reduce redness, irritation, and signs of stress.
• Gallic Acid Derivatives: These potent antioxidants help protect against environmental damage while calming inflamed or reactive skin.
• Bisabolol: Derived from chamomile, this gentle anti-inflammatory agent supports healing and reduces redness or itching.
• Sugar-Based Humectants: Help attract and retain water in the skin, improving long-lasting hydration and comfort.
