A multi-action skin barrier-supporting serum.

Strengthen your skin barrier with The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum. This serum helps reduce the appearance of irritated skin by conditioning and repairing the skin’s barrier. A direct result of a stronger skin barrier is an even skin texture, reduced redness, and smoother skin. Eight key technologies including vitamins, lipids, and phytotechnologies, join forces in this multi-action formula (including vitamin B12, an ingredient that supports the skin barrier) to boost the skin barrier.

An infusion of gallic acid derivatives, a combination of three activated forms of gallic acid (propyl gallate, gallyl glucoside and epigallocatechin gallyl glucoside (EGCG)) alleviate skin discomfort and reduce the appearance of redness caused by external stressors. Bisodolol also minimises the appearance of skin redness, while a soothing complex decreases the feel of skin tightness and discomfort triggered by dryness.

With the help of a ceramide complex, comprised of plant-derived ceramides (sphingolipids and phospholipids), this serum offers a topical delivery of key skin components. 2% niacinamide aids essential skin components that boost hydration, as sugar-based hydrators deliver long-term hydration while supporting its barrier function, and centella asiatica phytotechnologies provide isolated triterpenes (asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid) derived from centella asiatica (gotu kola) to protect the skin from external stressors and pollution. Safe to say this product has earned a spot in your next haul.
