The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum
The ordinary soothing and barrier support serum is one of the most viral serum from The Ordinary. This brand has been quite popular in The world and now In India. They have so many great viral products. They are very transparent with their ingredient list and they mention the percentage of their main ingredients so that we can choose wisely according to our skin condition.
Costumers get attracted to skincare products which are pink or green or comes in some other colors. This product is pink in color so it makes the product more attractive. But, is it just the coloring or the formula is also great? So, now we are going to discuss about the ordinary soothing and barrier support serum.
Packaging
The packaging of this product is very simple. It comes with a glass bottle and dropper like most of the ordinary products. It is pink in color so many of us feel the attraction towards this.
Benefits of the Ordinary soothing and barrier support serum
The ingredient list is quite good. It has niacinamide, ceramides in it. Niacinamide helps with so many skin condition. there is a whole blog on niacinamide that you can read: Click Here
Ceramides helps in skin barrier repair. Our skin naturally produces collagen which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. As we age, the collagen production reduces and elasticity of our skin reduces. It boosts collagen production thereby saves your skin from aging. So, ceramide is a good ingredient that comes with this serum.
It does give you soothing and calming effect on the skin as they mention in the name of the serum.
Price
The product is Rs 1800/- in India for 30 ml. This is quite expensive if you compare it to other ordinary serums. But I think it is worth giving a try.
Fragrance
This product is fragrance free and can be used by all skin types.
How to use it?
The brand recommends patch test. After the patch test if you are not irritated by the product you can use it. Use it in the morning or evening. You can also use it both the times.
We apply our products in consistency based order. The toner comes first , then the serums and then the cream formulas. So, use it in that order. You can also use face rollers or Gua sha to massage after applying the serum.
Is it necessary to have it in our skincare?
It is a good product that you can think of including in your skincare routine. But I would not call it necessary. If you are using a moisturizer that already have ceramides , niacinamide in it then you can skip this product. there is no need to do extra. That is why you should always check the ingredient list of your skincare products. Using same ingredients from two products is not necessary. Choose any one.
Overall I like this product. I think this is a good serum to include in skincare. Those of you who are confused about which serums to include in your skincare, I can go for this product. But you know your skin better than anyone, so choose skincare products that match your requirements as per what your skin needs.
