Exosomes

Also known as exosome serum, extracellular vesicles, secretome

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny bubbles that cells release to send repair signals to other cells. In skincare they carry growth factors, peptides, and lipids that help skin calm down and rebuild. They are most popular after procedures like microneedling and lasers, and for skin that is starting to thin.

Exosomes FAQs

Exosomes deliver signals that tell your skin cells to repair and make collagen. Skin looks calmer, smoother, and firmer over a few months.

Exosomes carry growth factors plus other signals, so they send a broader message. Growth factors have more years of research.

They come from plant cells, lab-grown human cells, or probiotics, depending on the brand. The product page lists the source.

Many providers apply exosomes right after microneedling to speed healing. Use only the product your provider approves on freshly treated skin.
