Exosomes
Tiny vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication, borrowed from regenerative medicine research.
- Who it suits
- Early adopters happy to try emerging technology with tempered expectations.
Why are exosomes used?
One of the most talked-about “regenerative” ingredients in skincare right now, but the science is still catching up to the marketing.
Worth knowing
No exosome product currently has regulatory approval for cosmetic claims. Judge the finished product on its formulation and testing, not the buzzword.
