    Good for the skin!

    I ordered this product in my latest Lyko order. I've used it quite a bit since then. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and had also heard many good things about this serum before. The Ordinary has such affordable and good products🧖‍♀️ A bit exciting that the product is so pink in color, but you don't mind that when you like pink🧷 The dropper bottle works well, no hassle like some droppers can cause. I think the product calms and moisturizes the skin, and it feels smoother and more radiant afterwards. It also calms redness in the skin. I can recommend! 🥰 #lykoreview

      Hey there! 🥰👋 These are compatible and complement each other very well! Absolutely, use the serum first and then the cream either as a spot treatment or over the entire face, and remember the sunscreen during the day! 🌞 All the best now!

    Totally okay

    Good, but then I should stop using it since I don't know if my skin just got better or if it was the product, but still nice

    Consideration

    Hi, I wonder if it's possible to use that together with Niacinamide in the same routine. And if so, which one should be used first after toner?

      Hello! 🥰 You can use these together in the same routine, depending on how sensitive your skin is! Maybe Niacinamide would work better in the morning and this in the evening if that suits you best! Test it out carefully! ❤

      Hey Liv! This serum works best for skin that is around 20 years old and up. You rarely see the need for younger skin to use this type of product! 🥰🙏 After that, it can have different properties based on where you are in life and how your skin reacts or skin type. All the best! 🌞

      Hey! The Ordinary does not recommend combining this serum with C-vitamin. There are many possible reasons for this. 🌸 Soothing & Barrier serum contains many active and effective ingredients. The combination of several powerful antioxidants can cause skin irritation, especially on sensitive skin. 🌸 The pH value of the Soothing & Barrier serum is close to the skin's natural pH. In contrast, C-vitamin (L-ascorbic acid) works optimally at a lower pH. When combined, the pH discrepancy can weaken the effectiveness of C-vitamin and cause skin irritation. If you want to use both C-vitamin and Soothing & Barrier serum, I recommend using them on different days to avoid skin irritation and to get the best benefits from both products.

    Can I give 10 stars?

    This is the best product I have ever tried! I used Vitamin C and Retinoid until menopause and was happy with it. Until my skin changed overnight. It became incredibly dry, I who have always had oily skin, it became red and it burned. Absolutely terrible! I don’t know why I decided to try this, but I’m glad I did. It soothes, moisturizes, and reduces skin irritation 100%. But I MUST use it morning and night. Vitamin C and Retinoid/Retinol are being put on the shelf - my skin no longer accepts it. The Ordinary's barrier serum, Embryolisse's moisturizer for sensitive skin, and SPF 50 (from a brand LYKO doesn’t carry) are now the perfect combination for me. I cannot recommend this serum enough. It is absolutely magical. #lykoreview

    Amazing!

    This is truly pink gold in a bottle! This both moisturizes, soothes, and strengthens my skin! Especially nice to use on the days I use retinol 😊 I’m already on my second bottle and will continue to buy 💕 #lykoreview

    Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

    Hi! Can the serum be used simultaneously with retinol? And can it be used directly after using an acid peel, like the so-called blood peel? Thank you in advance for the answer 🥰

      Yes, you can combine this product with retinol and AHA/BHA acids 🌞 Just remember not to combine it with products containing vitamin C.
