Sesha (pronounced sesh-ay) Clinical Skin Care line is relatively new to the pharmaceutical-based skin care arena. We first ran across them at the American Academy of Dermatology conference two years ago. They were new to the event and had some exciting technology to offer.
At first glance, the product ingredients were not new or innovative. Several high end skin care lines offer retinol (vitamin A), Vitamin C (l-ascorbic or ascorbic acid), Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate), MDI Complex, Carnosine, Dermaxyl, etc. What really sets this skin care line apart is the delivery system!
Those of us that are self-proclaimed "experts" in the skin care field are usually more interested in ingredients than how a product feels on the skin. Consumers who use skin care products are more interested in how the product feels than whats in it - both are interested, but for different reasons.
In the past, I was no different when it came to skin care products. I wanted to know "whats in it". Little did I know back then that quantity and quality alone are not enough to make a skin care line exceptional. I knew that skin care products were not all created equal. I understood that spa-based skin care lines had better ingredients than over-the-counter brands and that medical grade skin care lines had higher quality ingredients than spa-based brands with high concentrations of active ingredients... BUT... what I did not take into consideration was how key the delivery system was, until recently.
A product line can have all the most technologically advanced ingredients in high concentrations packed full of punch, but without an advanced delivery system, all those ingredients go to waste!
For instance, you can offer 20%, 25%, 30% Vitamin C in a product which is very high but when you apply that to the skin it oxidizes almost immediately, not to mention stings like a dickens. Vitamin C is a very volatile ingredient. When exposed to light and oxygen, it breaks down quickly rendering it useless. The skin cannot utilize it effectively. In fact, once Vitamin C oxidizes, it becomes radical itself causing more harm than good. If you take that same high concentration Vitamin C and encapsulate it in a delivery system that keeps it stable while penetrating the skin, now you have an effective product.
In
the past, liposomal delivery systems have been the gold standard in keeping ingredients stable; however over a period of time the liposomes break down in the product releasing the stable ingredients so they become less effective. The longer the product sits on the shelf, the less effective it becomes.
Sesha Clinical Skin Care uses a delivery system called P.E.T. which stands for "penetration enhancement technology". With this technology, ingredients can be delivered to the cells within the skin layers where each is utilized most effectively.
How PET works?
PET™ works by solubilizing the active ingredients and temporarily
modifying the permeability of the skin. Therefore, when large-molecule
active ingredients are combined with PET™, they are able to pass through
the skin cell barrier to reach the deeper layers below the epidermis.
PET™ is very versatile and allows us to combine nutrients to work
together as a networking system. Thus, PET™ enables the penetration of
the actives and provide you with the full benefits of each individual
ingredient.
PET™ is also extremely versatile and compatible with formulations
that containing peptides, vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids
enabling deep controlled penetration through the top layer stratum
corneum in a single formulation.
Is it Safe?
PET™ also passes the stringent requirements of the FDA to be considered
GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). Human clinical study demonstrated
to regulatory authorities that PET™ is non-toxic, non-irritating and
non-allergenic.
Here is a diagram of how the delivery system works:
