Cica Serum
Serenvit Cica Serum is BIOSAR's calming serum for visibly reactive skin. Centella Asiatica calms surface redness; Panthenol supports overnight repair of the look of irritation; Squalane reinforces the barrier without clogging the surface. Use it morning and night during sensitivity flares, post-active recovery, or whenever the skin feels reactive to climate or product. The texture is fluid and layers cleanly under any moisturizer. Tolerance-tested under dermatological supervision. Pairs with any Sensimed cream or the Serenvit Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Why it works
Stressed, reactive skin finds real, lasting calm. Centella Asiatica and Panthenol soothe and rebuild a compromised-looking barrier while Squalane, Jojoba, Macadamia, Chamomile and Calendula replenish and comfort, and Caffeine and Vitamin E refresh, all on a rich Aloe Vera base. Redness settles, skin feels cushioned, resilient and deeply comforted.

Topical Centella softens lines, floods skin with moisture
A network meta-analysis of five topical Centella asiatica trials in women found it visibly softened wrinkles and markedly raised skin hydration, echoing the calm, cushioned feel of a well-supported barrier.

96% stayed calm and flare-free through the trial
In a 3-month trial, 96% of young participants using a panthenol-containing emollient stayed flare-free, versus 77% on reference care. Provitamin B5 keeps sensitive, barrier-stressed skin soothed and steady day after day.

Deeper skin hydration in just two weeks
In a controlled trial, a squalane-and-shea moisturizer raised corneometer-measured skin hydration by 83.6% over two weeks. Squalane slots into the skin's own lipid layer to lock in moisture and restore a soft, comfortable barrier.
