Good with other hydrating products
Recieved for free in return for a review. Started to see a difference once I began using the product alongside my usual serums - it has reduced redness and will continue using for now. Using on its own with a moisturiser didn't do much for me/my skin felt quite dry compared to usual, but I do normally use a lot of hydrating products so removing those will have had an impact, and adding those back seemed to boost this product's effectiveness.

Barrier Support Serum
I’ve been using this serum for around 3 weeks now and have noticed my skin is less red and my skin texture has improved. Would recommend for sensitive skin.

Received free to review
I received this free to try and to leave a review. I’m not sure if this is doing anything for my skin in honesty it doesn’t seem any different and I have now been using for around 3 weeks morning and night. One thing I have noticed is that if I have any dry skin once I apply this over my serum the dry skin appears and feels gone so there is that. I’m on the fence as to whether I would buy again but I imagine when I run out I might see if it had been doing anything.

Fantastic serum
Been using this for a few weeks now and it’s amazing, calms my sensitive skin down lovely after cleaning and keeps really hydrated, goes well with my moisturiser and sits well under make up too. would recommend

A great serum.
I’m very happy with this product, it seems to have smoothed out my skin texture. My skin also feels much more hydrated!

Soothing serum
This product has caused no irritation to my skin. It’s a bright pink colour so you can see where you are applying it. I’ve used it when my skin has felt extra dry due to the heating and it has calmed it down and made it feel moisturised

On the fence
Not sure how I feel about this serum. It made my face feel quite sticky and not sure I saw any benefit to using it. That being said, I only ordered it a month ago so maybe you need to give it more time to work.
