Worth it!
I had this a few years ago. I loved it. So comforting on the skin, so lightweight but just perfect. I never replaced it and recently I had a flare up of redness with my skin. I purchased this instantly, and within an hour of using it, my skin had calmed down dramatically and I forgot how much I needed it in my regime. I’ve seen a lot of people say there are cheaper products that work just as well but I haven’t found that to be the case. I’ve tried everything but I keep coming back to this. It’s expensive but it’s a game changer for my red, angry skin! So pleased to have it back on my shelf. Probably my favourite ever product.Â
Report this reviewGreat to calm the skin after retinol, sun exposure or Roaccutance.
Purchased the mini bottle to try whilst on Roaccutane. Worked a treat to calm the redness. It is oil free from what I read so is a perfect serum for my skin. Will now be investing in the full size bottle.
Report this reviewMy holy grail
Originally tried a sample of this serum and I was hooked from first use. Especially if you use any type of exfoliating acids on your skin, this is a MUST! My skin is calm, hydrated and plump after use and I will never be without this. Highly recommend ⭐️
Report this reviewFabulous serum
I love this serum, great for rosacea. I use a few drops with hyaluronic serum. The only problem is the products are so expensive.
Report this reviewA calming and effective serum for sensitive skins...
This is my second bottle of Calming Serum and I wouldn’t be without it as it’s excellent for calming rosacea, general redness and sensitivity. Basically, any skin trauma. I use the serum after any aesthetic treatments: fillers, derma roller treatments and micro-dermabrasion. This serum can be used immediately after cleansing, before your moisturiser and also works well with any anti-ageing serums. Dr Sturm’s revolutionary purslane does excellent work by calming inflammation quickly. The product is non-greasy easily absorbed and compatible with dry and oily complexions.

Ever since I discovered Sturm, I have not been able to fault any product. The calming serum does exactly as it says and reduces and inflammation or redness that one might get. I suffer with terrible redness around my nose area and the calming serum works every single time to reduce it. Thank you Barbara for your skin care!
Report this reviewSkin-changing formula
I went for it and bought this along with the Anti-Pollution Drops and Glow Drops. This combo has changed my skin! It's pricey but I'm constantly on a lookout for products that will improve my skin - I have blemished and dull skin. I'm also willing to make the investment as long as they don't cost more than US$250 a piece. Tried these 3 in combination and tried them separately for 4 weeks and my skin is now 70% even-toned and has a nice glow! I've also brought them on long flights and they work sooo well to keep my skin hydrated and less dull. Based on separate trials, the Calming Serum is top of my list followed by the Anti-Pollution Drops. I think Barbara's anti-inflammatory philosophy in her skincare works much better on my skin than I expected. I forgot to add that I also have the Sun Drops (LOL) and while not horrible, it's not something I would run out and get. Save your bucks on that one.
Report this reviewMy hero
This serum ‘saved’ my face after having a severe reaction to exfoliating treatment that contained Lactic Acid (despite knowing I’m allergic to this, I did not read the list of ingredients to check). Used the serum immediately after the treatment and again in AM and by lunchtime, the redness disappeared. My skin was almost back to normal in less than 24 hours. I’ve been a big fan of this serum for some time now and would normally use it after dermarolling, but after this experience, it’s a definite MUST HAVE on my bathroom shelf.
