What it does

Exosomes are tiny membrane-bound vesicles naturally released by cells. They carry proteins, lipids, RNA, and signaling molecules involved in cell-to-cell communication. In regenerative medicine they are an active area of research, and in skincare they are being explored for their potential to support skin repair and reduce visible signs of aging. It is important to note that topical cosmetic exosome products are still an emerging category, and not all products marketed as "exosomes" have robust independent clinical evidence.
