The Ordinary has been one of my favourite brands for skincare serums for a few years now so when I heard that they were coming out with a soothing & barrier support serum that helps protect the skin's barrier the main reason I wanted to try this was because even though im oily combination with my skin type im getting dryer around certain areas this has a range of active ingredients 

Vitamin B12: Reduces dryness and the look of redness while giving the serum its pink hue.

Gallic Acid Derivatives: Helps soothe and calm the appearance of irritated skin.

Bisabolol: Alleviates the look of redness associated with skin discomfort.

Soothing Complex: Relieves tightness and dryness.

Ceramide Complex: Replenishes skin lipids, supporting barrier repair.

2% Niacinamide: Promotes hydration and supports the skin barrier.

Sugar-Based Hydrators: Boost hydration while strengthening the skin.

Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies: Protects against external irritants.

This product has a lightweight feel it hasn't caused my skin to breakout and its soothing ingredients have helped areas I get dry in during the colder months my skin has been more smoother
