Sesderma is a Spanish dermatology laboratory founded in 1989 by world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Gabriel Serrano. The company is a global leader in the research, development, and manufacturing of dermocosmetics, specifically known for being a pioneer in the use of nanotechnology in skincare.

Core Technology and Innovation

Nanotech:

Pioneering Solutions:
It was the first laboratory in Spain to launch products containing glycolic acid (the Acglicolic line) and has historically integrated now-popular ingredients like retinol and vitamin C long before they became market standards.

Exosomes:
In 2025, the company launched the EXOSES line, its first dermocosmetic line incorporating exosomes.
