In the ever-evolving world of skincare, it’s not often that an ingredient comes along that truly revolutionizes how we care for our skin. Enter Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA), a patented molecule exclusive to Senté and a game-changer in the realm of medical-grade skincare.
Designed to address the underlying causes of skin imbalance, HSA is intended to hydrate, repair, and rejuvenate the skin from within. But what exactly is HSA, how does it work, and why is it a must-have for your skincare routine this season? Let’s dive in.
What Is HSA?
HSA, or Heparan Sulfate Analog, is a proprietary molecule developed by Senté to mimic the natural heparan sulfate found in our skin. Heparan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan—a crucial component of our skin’s extracellular matrix that helps the skin regulate hydration, cellular repair, and inflammation control. It’s the ultimate multitasker, maintaining skin balance and supporting skin’s wound repair process.
However, as we age, our natural levels of heparan sulfate decrease, leading to a compromised skin barrier, reduced hydration, and a diminished ability to repair damage. Senté’s HSA technology reintroduces this critical molecule back into the skin, restoring balance and optimizing skin health.
How Does HSA Work?
HSA goes beyond surface hydration to deeply penetrate the extracellular matrix, targeting the root causes of skin concerns. Here’s how it works:
- Deep Hydration: HSA hydrates the skin at every layer, addressing both superficial dryness and deeper dehydration.
- Strengthens the Skin Barrier: By reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), HSA fortifies the skin’s natural barrier, helping skin protect from external stressors.
- Reduces Inflammation: Whether it’s redness, uneven pigmentation, or texture irregularities, HSA helps calm inflammation for a smoother, more balanced complexion.
- Helps stimulate Growth Factors: HSA helps encourage the production of vital skin proteins, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
- Enhances Cell Communication: HSA helps facilitate better cell-to-cell communication, allowing skin cells to function more effectively.
Why You Need HSA This Season
As the seasons change, so do your skin’s needs. Cooler, drier air can sap your skin of moisture, while increased exposure to environmental aggressors like wind and fluctuating temperatures can leave your complexion looking dull and irritated. Incorporating products with HSA into your routine is the perfect way to maintain hydration, repair damage, and keep your skin balanced, no matter the weather.
Where to Start with HSA
Senté’s core products harness the power of HSA to address a variety of skin concerns. Here’s how you can incorporate them into your routine:
1. Dermal Repair Cream
A hero product in the Senté lineup, Dermal Repair Cream helps to deliver deep hydration while fortifying the skin barrier. Ideal for soothing irritation and calming the appearance of facial redness, it’s perfect for daily use, especially in drier climates or during seasonal transitions. It’s so effective, it’s even been accepted by the National Rosacea Society.
2. Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish
For an extra dose of hydration, Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish offers a ceramide enriched formula that intensely moisturizes and revitalizes stressed skin. It’s your go-to for combating winter dryness or post-treatment sensitivity.
3. Bio Complete Serum
This lightweight serum combines the benefits of HSA with slow-release retinoids to improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, and firmness without causing irritation. A great retinol for sensitive skin, it promotes gentle exfoliation and helps to boost skin-cell renewal, while keeping the skin calm and hydrated.
4. HydraFirm (Dermal Contour Pressed Serum)
Designed to target the appearance of skin laxity, HydraFirm is formulated with Sent é-patented GAGs and peptides to improve skin elasticity, while delivering deep hydration. By helping to support skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, this product is a game-changer for those looking for firmer and plumper looking skin – making it an essential part of any anti-aging routine.
