Exosomes FAQs

What are exosomes in skincare?

Exosomes are tiny particles that cells use to send messages to each other. In skincare they usually come from plants or lab grown cultures. The idea is that they support skin renewal and recovery.

Who is it for, and do I need it?

They suit skin that looks tired, dull or slow to recover. The research is still early, so you probably do not need exosomes if your current routine works. Proven basics like SPF, a retinoid and vitamin C come first.

How do I use it in my routine?

Apply an exosome serum after cleansing and before moisturiser, usually at night. Some products, such as Medicube One Day Exosome Shot Pore Ampoule 2000 30ml, contain tiny spicules that tingle as you apply them. Start with the lower number before you try the 7500.

Can I use it with retinol, vitamin C or other acids?

Most exosome serums sit well with other actives. Avoid using a spicule product on the same night as retinol or strong acids, as the combination can sting.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin, and during pregnancy?

Plain exosome serums are usually gentle. Spicule products are not ideal for sensitive or broken skin. There is little research on exosomes in pregnancy, so check with your doctor first.
