lactic acid, and lactoferrin, creating a vaginal tightening gel that enhances comfort and tissue vitality through natural bio-signaling. Additionally, we are developing REPASKIN
HEAT, a next-generation photothermal sunscreen designed for individuals exposed to intense heat environments—such as professionals in the Middle East or those working in kitchens—where melasma and dermal damage are aggravated by high temperatures. This SPF 50 formulation combines Physalis pubescens fruit juice, quercetin, vitamin C (ethyl or liposoluble), and vitamin E, along with exosomes and glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives, to provide antioxidant defense against reactive lipids and heat-induced free radicals. Enhanced with cacay oil and water resistance, REPASKIN HEAT protects and restores the skin from photo- and thermo-induced stress. Because human-cell exosomes remain
restricted in most regions, we exclusively use non-human, probiotic, or biocompatible sources, fully compliant with cosmetic regulations. For me, exosomes are the logical evolution of liposomes— intelligent, biocompatible carriers that teach the skin to regenerate itself safely and effectively.
Cacay oil and future formulations At Sesderma we believe that innovation also comes from nature. One of our most significant recent advances is SESCACAY, a line built around cacay oil, one of the richest natural sources of pure, bioavailable retinol and essential fatty acids. With new European regulations limiting synthetic retinol concentrations, cacay oil has emerged as a powerful, skin-friendly alternative thanks to its exceptional regenerating, antioxidant, and anti- ageing properties. Clinical studies show that SESCACAY
significantly improves firmness (+92%), comfort (+93%), and overall luminosity in just 28 days. Because of these results, we are now extending its use beyond the SESCACAY line: cacay oil will be progressively incorporated into other Sesderma products and existing formulas to boost cell renewal, barrier restoration, elasticity, firmness, and overall skin vitality, while maintaining excellent tolerance even for sensitive skin. But SESCACAY is more than scientific
innovation. Since cacay is cultivated in the Amazon region, Dr. Serrano is launching a solidarity program to support the indigenous communities in Colombia who harvest it sustainably. The initiative will focus on fair trade, education, healthcare, and economic development, while preserving ancestral cultivation practices and protecting biodiversity. For Sesderma, cacay oil represents the perfect
convergence of science, sustainability, and social responsibility, and will play an essential role in the evolution of our formulations in the coming years.
Dr. Gabriel Serrano Longevity Centres Longevity medicine is the natural extension of my lifelong philosophy: the skin is a reflection of total human health. Ageing is not only biological— it is neurological, nutritional, emotional and dermatological. For this reason, we are launching
www.personalcaremagazine.com
the Dr. Gabriel Serrano Longevity Centres in Doha, Dubai, Qatar, Bogotá, Bayahibe, Madrid, Valencia, Shanghai and Moscow, with several additional international openings planned for the coming months.
These centres are the first of their kind
globally, integrating advanced dermatology with cutting-edge neurostimulation technologies, including photobiomodulation and electrical brain-stimulation therapy. These techniques have shown extraordinary benefits for migraines, anxiety, emotional stress, mild depression, cognitive fatigue and overall mental performance. By stimulating specific neural pathways, we help improve mood regulation, concentration, memory and emotional balance. In addition, the Longevity Centers will include a specialised programme of cerebral photobiostimulation, using Sesderma products in combination with specific light-based protocols. This approach is designed to support cognitive enhancement, reduce migraines, alleviate depressive symptoms and contribute to overall neurological wellbeing. However, longevity goes far beyond the
brain. Our centres also incorporate personalised nutritional programmes, targeted micronutrient supplementation, and lifestyle protocols designed to optimise cellular function. We are developing a new range of functional foods, including antioxidant-rich beverages, yogurts and advanced nutraceutical formulations aimed at improving immune resilience, metabolic balance, physical strength and cognitive longevity. The goal of the Dr. Gabriel Serrano Longevity Centres is simple but powerful: longevity is not
about adding years to life, but adding quality to those years—helping individuals maintain strong skin, a healthy body and a sharp mind as they age. These centres represent a new frontier where dermatology, neuroscience, nutrition and regenerative science come together to empower people to live longer, healthier and more vibrant lives.
Social Impact: Supporting Youth Through Sport In addition, Dr. Gabriel Serrano is developing a new social initiative in the Dominican Republic aimed at supporting vulnerable children and young people. His objective is to offer them a safe environment, discipline and opportunities for growth through sport. To achieve this, he has acquired land to build what will become the largest football stadium in the area, along with the creation of youth teams in Bayahibe and on Saona Island. The project seeks to help children and teenagers move away from life on the streets and channel their potential through structured sports training. For those who demonstrate exceptional talent, Dr. Serrano intends to open pathways for them to continue their football development in Spain, with the possibility of joining first-division clubs such as Valencia CF, Sevilla FC or Real Madrid.
