Product Insights & Style Tips

The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum for Sensitive Skin & Hydration offers a calm, clinical answer to a tired barrier. This multi-active solution targets damaged skin barrier concerns and promises barrier repair within 2 hours, with an immediate 86% boost in hydration to soothe redness. The pink hue comes from Vitamin B12, while gallic acid derivatives calm irritated skin and Bisabolol eases tightness. A Ceramide Complex, 2% niacinamide, sugar-based hydrators, and Centella asiatica support renewal. Made in Canada, this paraben-free, fragrance-free serum reads as a no-fuss upgrade to any routine.

A lightweight, oil-free serum with a pink tint sinks in quickly and layers under moisturizer or sunscreen. Apply a few drops to the face morning and evening after cleansing; patch testing is advised and irritation warrants rinsing off. The texture suits all skin types, including sensitive, and it supports a calmer, more radiant complexion without adding weight.

True to The Ordinary's pared-back, science-forward DNA, this serum delivers essential barrier care with no fuss. It leans into the current trend of hydration and skin resilience, pairing well with minimal routines and other gentle actives.

Beauty Trends & Makeup Tips

The 90s Zigzag Headband Is Back In Rotation

From the yoga mom ponytail to stacked barrettes, hair accessories had a serious moment this summer. Now another nostalgic favorite is making its return – and it might be the lowest-effort trend of them all. The zigzag headband is back, with Hailey Bieber leading the revival as only she can. She’s been spotted wearing the throwback accessory in her latest Instagram photo dumps and her Miu Miu campaign, which at this point is all the confirmation anyone needs. The classic acetate or resin headband, defined by its signature zigzag teeth, grips the crown and pushes hair effortlessly back into place. On hot, humid days when the last thing you want is hair sticking to your face, it’s less of a trend and more of a solution. Ahead, how to wear it without looking like you stepped straight out of a 90s yearbook.

The In-Flight Skincare Routine That Saves Your Skin Every Time

Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons, and if you still have flights to catch before it wraps up, the question of what to pack in your personal bag inevitably comes up. In-flight skincare content is everywhere right now, with creators sharing elaborate multi-step routines that look great on camera but raise a practical question: is that actually a good idea at 30,000 feet? The short answer is no. Planes are notorious for circulating bacteria, which means slathering on multiple products mid-flight is doing more harm than good. That said, doing absolutely nothing isn’t the answer either. The dry cabin air is genuinely brutal on your skin, and a pared-down approach using the right products can make a real difference in how you look and feel when you land. Ahead, the only in-flight skincare products worth packing—and exactly how to use them.

Blush Tailoring Gives You The Most Natural Flush

Not every makeup look calls for full-on blush blindness. And while a statement flush absolutely has its place, there are days when something softer and more diffused simply makes more sense. Blush tailoring, dubbed by makeup artist Rose Siard, is the technique that customizes your blush to better complement your complexion and the rest of your makeup – without requiring a drawer full of different shades for every occasion. Instead, it works with products you already own to create a color that melts seamlessly into the skin. The payoff is a naturally flushed complexion that feels less like makeup and more like your skin.

About The Ordinary

The lineup spans serums and ampoules, acids and exfoliants, hydrating moisturizers, nourishing oils, cleansers, sunscreens, and targeted treatments such as vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinol products. The brand favors minimalist, no-frills packaging and science-driven solutions that address specific concerns like hydration, blemishes, and uneven texture. It resonates with shoppers who want effective actives without luxury-brand markup.
