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! 🥰 #lykoreview6023 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 1 yearsI was so happily surprised by the color when I first bought it! 🥰1 likes

A true superhero!
I have used this product for many years, but have been only somewhat satisfied. I didn't quite understand what difference it makes for the skin. But now I have the answer, and this product is a pure superhero! I have gone through a tough time, with serious cancer and a treatment plan that the doctors were unsure I could handle. They were surprised at how nice my skin was after the radiation treatment was over — and I can thank this serum for that! Together with the GF solution from the same brand, the serum has saved my skin from the worst damage. No one can see where I had radiation treatment, unless they use a magnifying glass. Now I really see in practice what this product does for the skin. Think about how many skin damages we get throughout life, which we don't see until it's too late. So now this serum is part of my weekly routine. I will never stop. 🤩48 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 2 out of 5verified customer

Soothing but sticky
My skin type: combination skin (oily forehead, the rest dry, slightly clogged) I have a love-hate relationship with this serum, but I always buy a new bottle when it runs out. It really does its job: it soothes the skin and strengthens the skin barrier. But - it is very greasy. To me, it looks like I've smeared butter on my face, even though I only use 2 or 3 drops. That's why I don't use it regularly, because I don't feel directly beautiful from it. 😅 But it's there, ready to save me when my skin is irritated and needs something soothing.82 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Ordinary serum
Works extremely well on sensitive skin! Use this over and over several times319 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5
Ok
Is supposed to solve problems with irritated skin. Is supposed to improve unevenness and provide smoother skin. It is bubblegum pink. It sinks in nicely without stickiness. The skin looks better, meaning no redness, but I feel a tightness on my cheeks that sometimes feels annoyingly irritated. 🤔 But you can't see anything. Not something I will buy again.556 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5
Such a shame about the pink color, otherwise it would have been a full score
A very good serum! I've gotten both good hydration and smoother skin on my forehead from it. However, I am quite dry and want to use a lot of product, which doesn't work so well considering the pink color, and this bothers me so much that I'm holding back on the last star. #lykoreview810 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Fast becoming a holy grail product!
I've used up 2 bottles of this serum and am in the process of ordering the third. Disconcerting hot pink color to begin with, but I like it now. I use it in my morning and evening routines. Mornings I use it as final step before sunscreen, and as a final step in the evenings. It's hydrating, fresh and not oily at all; truly nourishing. It's good as a base when I add a couple of Vitamin C serum drops to it in the morning, or even a few drops of Granactive Retinoid in the evenings. This serum takes the edge off more harsh actives and makes for a smooth and easy process in my experience. Warmly recommended.1315 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Awesome
Works great for my sensitive skin! During acne treatments that make my skin extra sensitive, I use this alternately and it really helps restore my skin.1635 views - The post was made 4 months
Combination
Hey, I can see that this product contains niacinamide, I started with the one in the picture, it worked pretty well, but I feel like my skin has gotten worse since I started using both. Could it be because together they make 12% and it's too much? Would it be best to go back to just niacinamide or only use smoothing and barrier support? It also provides moisture and helps with redness, which I also struggle with :)1887 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsHey Lotus! 👋 Both the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% contain niacinamide, which means that the concentration can get a bit too high and cause the opposite effect, e.g. irritation, even though niacinamide itself is a mild ingredient. A tip is therefore to try using the products in different routines to see if your skin feels better. Many find that it works well to only use the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum, as it not only contains niacinamide but also ingredients that hydrate and soothe redness 🤍 I would also strongly recommend doing our skin test via our app. There you can take a professional skin test and get tailored feedback on how to change your skincare and find the right products for your skin. Those who help you are trained and licensed skin therapists and pharmacists 😍👌 You can find the test via the link: lyko.com/sv/beauty-scan2 Take care!1 likes

Combine
Hi, I want to use this serum since I am red on the skin and want to reduce the redness. I am using a vitamin C serum today that I love, and I wonder why it can't be combined with this?2158 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 6 monthsHi Rebecca✨ It is not recommended to use the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum together with C-vitamin in the same routine, especially due to differences in pH and active ingredients. The combination can reduce the effectiveness of the C-vitamin and increase the risk of irritation – especially if you have sensitive or red skin. A good tip is to use C-vitamin in the morning and the barrier serum in the evening – that way you get the best of both! 💧✨ I hope my answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day🌞2 likes
