Silky-Smooth

"Soothing Serum is yet another quality face treatment from Primally Pure. The formula gently moisturizes, leaving my skin feeling silky-smooth, with a lovely clean, fresh scent. I tend to savor this one as a daytime serum, although one could use it overnight, as well. Soothing Serum has swiftly become a vital step within my morning skin care ritual."

Dr. M. (5/5)

I LOVE this serum! I

"I LOVE this serum! I have only been using for a couple weeks and am so pleasantly surprised by how it works immediately. I wake up in the morning with soft moisturized skin and the redness on my face has significantly reduced. Has drastically improved my skin tone and texture in only a couple weeks."

Becca B. (5/5)

Finally a calming serum that actually feels calming

"I have sensitive, rosacea-prone skin and I’m very careful about what I put on my face. This serum has been such a pleasant surprise. It feels lightweight, soothing, and hydrating without being greasy or irritating. My skin looks calmer, less red, and more balanced after using it consistently. I also love that it layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare routine, including actives like tretinoin and azelaic acid. A lot of “soothing” products still sting or overwhelm my skin, but this one genuinely feels supportive and nourishing. Primally Pure keeps impressing me with products that are clean, thoughtfully formulated, and actually effective. This serum has officially earned a permanent spot in my routine."

cant believe i was behind on the serum trend

"took me ordering from PP for over a year before finally introducing their serums into the mix! this soothing serum is INSANE, it makes me skin feel soooo soft/luxurious/calm after cleansing. now i have to buy all the serums no joke. PP's serums are now apart of the ritual!"

Abby R. (5/5)

Love

"This product is like magic. I have the whole so soothing line without the cleanser. So I have the serum, miss, and the bomb and I love all of it. In a matter of seconds, the hydration kicks in. My skin is no longer dry around my cheeks. It really is amazing. It feels so lightweight. I’m really happy I chose it"

Siena C. (5/5)

My skin is healthy, happy & glowing!

"My favorite serum! My skin is sensitive and reacts to many products. However, the PP products have never given me a reaction. They leave my skin healthy, happy, and glowing! I wish the serums came in larger than a 1 oz volume."

Laura R. (5/5)

Holy grail

"This is my go to cant live without serum/product. I usually apply just for nighttime and use plumping serum in day but find myself always adding this to my day time as well. It is so calming to my skin and soaks in beautifully."

Jennifer J. (5/5)

Sensitive face feeling calm

"Product is so good love the ingredients and how it leaves my face feeling and looking. I have sensitive skin that get red and splotchy but after applying this in the evening my face is calm and even in the morning. ONLY complaint is the scent is a little off putting. Just a concentrated herby smell that is not my favorite. But product works as advertised. I would rather have it be all natural and have a different smell than to have chemical perfumes."

KB (5/5)

Delightful

"The scent is light and refreshing. I love using this on alternating nights with the clarifying serum. My skin has never felt more hydrated and clear."

Madalyn T. (5/5)

Favorite Serum!

"I love this serum. I used to be obsessed with beauty counter’s vitamin c serum but wanted a cleaner product. This serum calms the redness of my skin and leaves it feeling like silk. It’s the best! Just ordered the soothing cream to try next."

Q&A

Can I use this after retinol at night? Trying to fit this into my nightly routine.
We recommend talking with your healthcare professional to see which ingredients are ok to mix and use for your skin. :)
Are there any serums that aren't high in PUFAs? I've been a long-time customer but trying to change up to a low PUFA routine.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us regarding PUFAs. We completely understand where you’re coming from and we agree that PUFAs should be approached with caution and, in many cases, avoided completely. Not all PUFAs are harmful - but because of the fragile nature of polyunsaturated fatty acids, they can easily become harmful if they are damaged from extraction methods or poor storage. For example, fish oil is a PUFA, but it can be a great supplement as long as it’s high quality, properly stored, and extracted without heat or chemicals. It’s no secret that we are big fans of using high-quality fats in our skincare products! We love saturated fats such as coconut oil, tallow, and many others. We also use a variety of polyunsaturated nut and seed-based oils. All of the oils we use are high quality and cold-pressed (unlike the vast majority of PUFAs used in the food industry, which are almost always subject to extreme damage and oxidation during extraction and cooking methods). The oils we use have not been exposed to high temperatures or chemical extraction. Obtaining these high-quality oils is costly, but it’s an expense that we consider to be essential. We store most of our oils in amber colored glass which also helps to prevent oxidation. Additionally, we add Vitamin e, a potent antioxidant, to help further protect our products from oxidation. The labels on these products state that they are best if used within 6 months and we do suggest following that guideline. We suggest being mindful of the PUFAs that you use internally and externally. It’s important to check the quality by ensuring that the oils are cold-pressed and properly stored during every step of the supply chain process. We hope this gives you a glimpse into the care we take in choosing our ingredients. We truly hope you enjoy our safe + natural skincare!
Is this safe to use during pregnancy?
Hi Jessica, Taking extra precautions when it comes to nurturing little lives is of the utmost importance to us. We’ve done extensive research in regards essential oil use during pregnancy + while nursing, and feel confident that all of our products (aside from Fancy Face Serum for which we offer a pregnancy-safe version) do not pose a risk for pregnant/nursing women. Check with your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have questions/concerns. We hope this helps. xo, The Pure Team
What is the difference between the soothing cream and soothing serum? I currently am using the cleansing oil, the bar of soap and the soothing cream. I have been really satisfied with using the products but I am not sure how this would fit into the routine and when to add this step.
Hi Denice, Our serums are more potent + target certain skin concerns. They also offer a lighter level of hydration than the beauty creams. You can use them individually or together for a deeper level of treatment and hydration. :) XO, The Pure Team
How long (on average) does the 0.5 oz last?
Hi Macy, Depending on use, this product can last anywhere from 2-3 months with daily use. XO, The Pure Team
