"I attended a big skincare industry event in New York last autumn, at which people seemed to be discussing exosomes as though all other anti-ageing skincare products and methodology would soon be rendered redundant. I've read countless roundups of new exosome products since then (430 for a serum!), and felt the inescapable buzz of a perceived major breakthrough in skincare,"
"Exosomes, in very basic terms, are tiny, naturally occurring parcels of material used as a communication device between skin cells. They can positively influence skin cell behaviour, such as regeneration and healing. Studies into whether extracted exosomes work in treatments for skin inflammation, hair growth and scarring are so far mostly small, pre-clinical and it must be said, very promising, albeit far from conclusive."
Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring parcels that mediate communication between skin cells and can influence regeneration and healing. Preclinical studies indicate potential benefits for skin inflammation, hair growth and scarring, but most trials are small and not definitive. Optimal extraction, formulation stability, topical delivery methods, dosing and long-term safety — including any effects on skin cancer risk — remain unresolved. Dermatologists express cautious interest and continue research, while cosmetic companies aggressively market exosome-containing products. Consumers should treat exosomes as a supplementary ingredient rather than a cure-all and prefer products where they are an addition or inexpensive to trial.
