You’ve probably heard of Exosomes—the latest buzzword in the beauty realm—but what exactly are they and why is everyone talking about them? Exosomes have been dubbed the new frontier for skincare by experts and lauded for their ability to heal and regenerate skin. Consider this a guide to help you better understand what Exosomes are, how they work, their benefits and how to incorporate them into your skincare routine.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are nano-sized particles released by cells to communicate with each other. They are packed with genetic materials, proteins, growth factors and lipids that, when released by cells, activate other skin cells and promote cell turnover. This cell regeneration process helps to keep our skin healthy and youthful. 

Exosomes have been studied extensively and gained recognition for their potential to be used in many different applications of medicine. More recently, Exosomes have gained traction in aesthetics due to their ability to heal wounds quickly and decrease inflammation after certain procedures. 

How can Exosomes benefit your skin?

When used topically, Exosomes not only improve the appearance of the skin but also trigger aged skin to behave like younger skin on a deep cellular level. Exosomes have anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties and signal cells to do things they’re supposed to do—like produce more collagen and elastin, and regenerate and repair. This leads to an improvement in skin texture, thickness, and quality.

As we age, our body’s ability to heal, including collagen production, decreases. One key benefit of Exosomes is their ability to boost collagen production, reducing wrinkles and keeping skin looking younger.

Exosomes also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe redness and irritation, common signs of ageing skin. By promoting cell repair and renewal, Exosomes contribute to smoother, more even skin.

In multiple clinical studies, topical application of Exosomes can significantly reduce the appearance of age spots, increase skin firmness, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and hydrate and nourish the skin over time.

At what age should you consider using Exosomes in your skincare routine?

It’s important to start early in taking better care of your skin—after all, prevention is better than cure. Current research reveals that collagen production starts declining around the mid-to-late 20s and or early 30s, with the skin losing about 1% each year. Incorporating Exosomes into your skincare in your 30s is beneficial to slow down the skin ageing process, and maintain skin regeneration and collagen production to preserve youthful skin.
