I felt like the writer either knows nothing about skin care or has something against this line. That’s directly from the Skin Cancer Institute’ findings. I also took issue with the retinyl palmitate comment as there have been no clinical studies showing it to be harmful when exposed to the sun. I only use 2 pumps and have no problem applying it over my entire face. GAGs have been popular in skincare for years and my understanding is that HSA is a modified version of Heparan Sulfate that allows for it to penetrate the skin and has been patented.

I have only seen the word Glycosaminoglycans, never Glycoproteins used in their marketing. I was just looking for clarification as the line has expanded to now include the ATP Reset Moisturizer. I have been using Senté products since they first came out and love them, especially the Neck Firming Cream. I came across this article to see if Dermal Repair can be used as a stand alone moisturizer or is considered a treatment item that needs to be followed by a moisturizer. I do not see myself mourning or repurchasing the Senté it once it's finished, unless after writing this, I see some profound, groundbreaking results. And although I was happy to test and think that Heparan Sulfate is an interesting ingredient and the rest of the ingredients here are fine with no real nasties, the same can be said for a lot of moisturizers at a much lower price point. Perhaps Senté's Dermal Repair Cream needs more time to come into its own. The dispenser itself is very well designed and I had no problems using it. There is retinyl palmitate so it's recommended to only use at night. I had to use about five pumps to cover my face and neck. I found the cream does not have a lot of slip and I thought it dried out too quickly, before I could spread it completely over my face.

The cream itself is white and fragrance free, but there is a scent which is very pleasant and dissipates before you even finish rubbing it in. Strange since hyaluronic acid is listed as an ingredient on both the site and the product, but this might just be a matter of confusion. Other examples of Glycoproteins are Hyaluronic acid, Dermatan Sulfate & Chrondroitan Sulfate, all which are not present in our product.' Many people are not familiar with HS but are familiar with Glycoproteins, so we use that name as an umbrella term. I wrote Senté asking for clarification and they were kind enough to get right back to me, ' Heparan Sulfate (HS), the active ingredient in Senté Dermal Repair Cream, is a Glycoprotein. Glycoproteins is not actually spelled out on the box. However, to be fair the website only lists key ingredients, the top being glycoproteins. When my package of Senté Dermal Repair Cream arrived the first thing I noticed was that the ingredients on the box did not match those on the website and that really turned me off. I have been using Senté Dermal Repair Cream for over a month, and though I think it is an okay moisturizer I have not experienced any ground breaking results nor any of the claims listed on their website such as 'profound hydration.' I understand the need to talk up your product, but come on. Senté claims this ingredient to be a 'breakthrough' further saying their glycoproteins 'are 'biologically active,' attaching to the surface of cells and allowing growth factors and other molecules to regenerate the skin.' I have come upon many claims of its legitimacy when they come to skin care: cellular repair, increased energy level of skin cells by enhancing the production of energy-rich adenosine and increased hydration and elasticity. Glycoproteins are proteins that contain a carbohydrate attached to a protein. I had never heard of glycoproteins in skin care so I was very interested. I was happy to see the short list of ingredients on their website when I was first asked to test the Dermal Repair Cream. Their flagship product is their Dermal Repair Cream and their signature ingredient is Glycoproteins. Sadly I have had neither of those feelings with the Senté Dermal Repair Cream ($169.95) I am testing.

Second I start trying to convince myself that it's worth it to actually purchase, no matter the price. First, I start to worry about running out and I will start rationing it. It is easy for me to know when I really like a new product while testing it.
