What is Retinol?
Essential for various bodily functions, including healthy vision, bone growth, and a robust immune system, vitamin A doesn't naturally occur in our bodies. Hence, it's crucial to consume it through our diet.However, when it comes to skin health, topical application proves most effective. This is because the skin, being the last organ to receive the vitamins we consume, might not derive significant benefits from dietary vitamin A alone. In skincare, retinol promotes healthy cell turnover and boosts collagen production -- leading to rejuvenated, radiant skin.
Sente's Unique Retinol Formulations
Retinoids are known to promote skin cell turnover, which is beneficial in many ways, but also causes inflammation, irritation, redness, and dryness in the skin.
Our formula includes our unique Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA) technology, which promotes retinol’s benefits while working to limit its negative effects, keeping the skin deeply hydrated and helping boost its immune response to inflammation.
Incorporating our unique formulation can give you a comprehensive approach to achieving even-toned, radiant -- and most importantly, healthy -- skin.
Where to Find HSA Combined with Retinol
This healthy mix of ingredients is available in two medical-grade skincare products that will bring healthy radiance to your skin:
- Senté's Bio Complete Serum: This serum is a unique blend of HSA and a sustained release retinoid; because the ingredient is delivered over time, it is less irritating to the skin. This way, the retinol can work to refine skin texture and tone while the HSA deeply hydrates, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The combination ensures not only rejuvenation but also hydration, making it suitable for daily use.
- Senté's Even Tone Retinol Cream: Designed to target uneven skin tone, this cream combines retinol with other skin-beneficial ingredients like omega fatty acids and ceramides. It works overnight to refine skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and improve overall skin tone. With consistent use, one can expect a brighter and more even-toned complexion.

Real Results and Calming Effects
Retinol can be transformative for the skin, from reducing wrinkles to treating acne. However, as with any skincare product, it's essential to use retinol judiciously and in consultation with a dermatologist to ensure the best results.
Our products bundle science-backed moisturizers with retinol to promote whole skin health -- and include the powerful ingredient in the most powerful formulation to get serious results without harsh side effects.
