Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a multi-active solution targeted at reducing the look of irritated skin. It helps recover the skin barrier in 2 hours*, and provides an immediate 86%** boost in skin hydration. This helps soothe feelings of discomfort, and reduce signs of redness over time. While strengthening the skin barrier, the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum also improves the look of uneven texture for a smoother appearance. Formulated with multiple vitamins, lipids, and phytotechnologies, this comprehensive serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
The multi-active formula contains 8 key technologies:
- Vitamin B12: Helps support skin barrier by reducing dryness and the look of redness, while also imparting the serum’s characteristic pink hue.
- Gallic Acid Derivatives: A combination of 3 activated forms of gallic acid (propyl gallate, gallyl glucoside and epigallocatechin gallyl glucoside (EGCG)) helps soothe skin discomfort and target the look of redness associated with external stressors irritants.
- Bisabolol: Helps reduce the look of skin redness.
- Soothing Complex: Reduces feelings of skin tightness and discomfort from dryness.
- Ceramide Complex: Plant-derived ceramides (sphingolipids and phospholipids) provide topical delivery of key skin components.
- 2% Niacinamide: Supports essential skin components that help promote hydration.
- Sugar-based hydrators: Offers long-term skin hydration and helps support the skin barrier function.
- Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies
*Clinical testing on 23 people after one application

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I had high hopes for this serum, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. My skin actually became more red and sensitive after using it, and it felt a bit irritating. Skincare is so personal though—what works for some might not work for others 🤍

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible Found this more irritating, wasn’t impressed at all and pilled a lot too

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Ok My skin is really dry and sensitive but with this serum I haven’t really felt like the barrier of the skin looks better or is getting better, but one thing it does give a glow to your skin maybe I should try it for a longer time to get the result

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Good Formula but Not for My Skin” 2. “Didn’t Suit I wanted to love this serum because the ingredients sounded promising. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. However, after using it consistently for a few days, I started noticing small breakouts and slight irritation. Since I have very sensitive and reactive skin, I stopped using it and my skin slowly improved. I think it may work well for others depending on skin type, but unfortunately it wasn’t the right match for me. Definitely recommend patch testing before applying it all over the face.”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best serum out there I have had a lot of pimples and the state of my skin barrier was atrocious! My skin started to clear up noticeably after using it

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love this pink formula I love using this after I use the peeling formula. The only downside is that it has the bright pink tone that will colour my skin, but it only lasts while I'm sleeping and then I take it off in the morning. I love the feeling of the formula and it is soothing after the peel. Great stuff!
