The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum - 30 ml
Description
Restore, soothe, and fortify compromised skin with The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum (30 ml). This multi-action treatment is engineered specifically to target skin discomfort, calm visible redness, and accelerate epidermal barrier repair caused by environmental stressors, harsh actives, or over-exfoliation.
Instantly recognizable by its signature vibrant pink hue—derived naturally from Vitamin B12—this comprehensive formula blends a structural Ceramide Complex, 2% Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica derivatives, and plant-based lipids. Its rich, velvety emulsion texture absorbs quickly into the skin to deliver immediate soothing relief while building long-term barrier resilience and moisture retention.
