Smoother, more even skin from vitamin A made for sensitive skin.

You want the smoothing, evening results of vitamin A, and you want to start with something your sensitive skin will be comfortable with.

Bio Complete Serum helps fine lines look softer and tone look more even, gently enough for first time retinol users. It pairs retinol with retinyl linoleate, a vitamin A ester your skin converts gradually, then adds a peptide blend and Senté's patented HSA, which helps skin feel hydrated and look smoother while it adjusts. Senté created it specifically for sensitive skin.

Who It Is For

Sensitive skin, first time retinol users, and anyone who wants smoother texture and more even tone with a gentle start.

Not Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

In Senté's clinical testing, 82 percent of people showed more even looking skin after eight weeks. Fine lines take longer, so give it three to six months.

How to Use

Morning and night after cleansing, press one to two pumps into your face and neck and let it absorb fully before your next step. Follow with moisturizer. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.

The Science

Retinol is vitamin A in a form skin can convert to its active state. In a randomized, double blind study, retinol visibly softened fine wrinkles over 24 weeks.

Retinyl linoleate is a vitamin A ester. Skin releases the vitamin A from it gradually, which is part of how this serum keeps a gentle feel while still doing real work.

HSA is Senté's low molecular weight version of heparan sulfate. HSA helps skin feel hydrated and look smoother. In Senté's testing of this serum, 82 percent of participants showed improved skin evenness at eight weeks.

Questions

Where does it go in my routine?After cleansing and before moisturizer. If you use Plated, Plated goes on first and this serum follows.
Is it a good first retinol?Yes. Senté designed it for sensitive skin and people new to vitamin A.
What does it feel like?A silky, lightweight serum that absorbs quickly and sits well under moisturizer.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
