Exosomes are the latest innovation in skincare science, and they are changing the anti-ageing scene. Here’s everything you need to know at a glance.

• Exosomes are naturally occurring cell messengers that help support the skin’s natural regeneration and repair processes
• As we age, our skin’s ability to perform its natural processes slows. Exosomes allow these processes to continue and accelerate
• There are many sources of exosomes, but not all are created equal in their ability to support anti-ageing goals
• Experience the world’s first bacteria exosome system, engineered for advanced regeneration, repair and restoration, with AsterSpring’s newest Exosome Rejuvenation Treatment

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are naturally occurring intelligent cellular messengers responsible for regulating cell function. Each carries important signalling molecules — such as proteins, lipids, growth factors, peptides, and genetic material (like microRNA) - that help cells communicate and perform their natural functions, playing a vital role in the skin’s ability to function and renew itself.

How do exosomes benefit the skin?

As skin ages, its ability to renew itself slows down. Cells slow down and stop sending the right signals, and natural regeneration stalls. As a result, signs of ageing can begin to appear on the skin surface: fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and dullness. Exosomes come in to restore communication in multiple layers of the skin’s surface to support the regeneration that healthy-looking skin depends on. This helps maintain skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance.

What skin concerns can benefit from exosomes?

Exosomes are beneficial to all skin types, but particularly for skin experiencing visible signs of ageing, uneven texture, or dullness. In professional treatments, they can help restore the barrier of over-treated skin and support the skin’s recovery process after invasive and intensive treatments. At home, they help smooth, brighten, and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time – making them ideal for anyone looking to support skin’s natural renewal process daily.

Are all exosomes the same?

Exosomes can be derived from several sources – including human, animal and plant. However, with Dermalogica’s pioneering lactobacillus exosome system - the world’s first vegan bacterial exosome system. While traditional exosome sources — animal, plant, or human — present challenges in stability, function, and ethical sourcing, Dermalogica has redefined the category with a vegan, highly stable, concentrated lactobacillus exosome system delivering over 10 billion active exosomes. Its bacterial origin allows enhanced interaction with the skin’s barrier environment, supporting multi-pathway signalling across repair, rejuvenation, and structural reinforcement — while strengthening compromised barrier function.

Where should I start if I want to add exosomes to my skin care routine?
