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.

Ingredient Research
Active ingredients backed by published studies
- 7 days
Better hydration and less water loss than the vehicle
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adult volunteers: after 7 days, skin treated with dexpanthenol was better hydrated and lost less water than skin treated with the vehicle alone. The abstract reports no effect sizes.

Aloe extract raised skin water content vs its vehicle
In 20 women, creams with freeze-dried aloe vera extract raised the water content of the outer skin layer on the forearm versus the same cream without it, after two weeks of daily use. Water loss through the skin did not change.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Cica Serum after a facial or peel?
Yes. The Cica Serum is formulated for post-procedure calming. Apply after cleansing to comfort reactive skin. Avoid layering other actives for the first three to five days post-procedure.
Is Cica Serum suitable for reactive, irritated-looking skin?
Yes, Cica Serum is designed for reactive and irritated-looking skin. Centella Asiatica and Calendula help calm visible redness and discomfort. Aloe Vera and Chamomile add extra soothing support. It fits easily into a gentle, barrier-first routine.
When should I apply Cica Serum in my routine?
Apply Cica Serum after cleansing and before your moisturizer, morning and evening. Smooth a few drops onto damp skin and let it absorb. Use it daily for consistent calming support. Panthenol and Vitamin E help reinforce the skin barrier as you build the habit.
Can I layer Cica Serum with other active treatments?
Cica Serum is built to layer comfortably with other Serenvit actives. Its calming complex supports tolerance when paired with stronger treatment steps. This reflects our multi-active, self-balancing approach to routines. Introduce new actives gradually alongside it for best comfort.
How long before I see results from Cica Serum?
Most users notice visibly calmer, more comfortable skin within two to six weeks. Consistent daily use supports steady, gradual improvement. Redness-prone skin often looks more even with continued use. Pair it with a gentle cleanser to support this timeline.
