WHAT IT IS

Exosomes are powerful messengers that help skin renew itself from within, supporting smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin over time

FEATURED PRODUCTS


Story Highlights

  • Exosomes are cell messengers that help support the skin’s natural regeneration process.
  • As we age, natural skin regeneration slows – leading to visible signs like dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture. 
  • Phyto Nature E2 pairs exosomes with exfoliating enzymes for daily resurfacing and visible skin renewal. 

 

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are biological packages created by living cells. They are tiny, naturally occurring vesicles that act as the body’s own communication system for cell repair and regeneration. Each carries regenerative signals that help cells communicate, 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 stop sending the right signals, and natural regeneration stalls. As a result, changes start to appear on the surface: fine lines form, texture becomes less smooth, and skin can start to look dull or uneven. Exosomes act as messengers that restore cellular communication across multiple layers of skin. This helps maintain smoother texture, even tone, and a more radiant appearance. 

 

What skin concerns can benefit from exosomes?

Exosomes are especially well-suited for skin experiencing visible signs of aging, uneven texture, or dullness. They also support recovery after professional treatments like microneedling or chemical peels. 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 boost skin regeneration daily. 

 

Are all exosomes the same?

Exosomes can be derived from a number of sources – including human, animal, plant, and bacterial. Dermalogica uses only vegan exosomes, carefully selected for their performance and purpose in skin care: 

  • Plant-based exosomes for at-home use help support skin regeneration and renewal over time. 

  • Bacterial exosomes for professional settings help enhance post-treatment recovery and accelerate visible results.

 

How do in-office and at-home exosome treatments work together?

They’re designed to complement each other. In the treatment room, exosomes can be paired with microneedling or other advanced modalities to help support visible recovery and optimize results. At-home formulas maintain the regeneration process daily, supporting smoother, brighter, and more resilient skin. Together, professional and at-home exosome treatments provide continuous support for skin renewal.

 

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

Dermalogica leads the way in exosome-powered skin care, offering expert solutions for both professional treatments and daily routines 

  • In the treatment room, Exo Booster uses bacterial exosomes to enhance recovery and optimize results after microneedling or chemical peels. 

  • For daily use, Phyto Nature E2 pairs plant-based exosomes with exfoliating enzymes to help support skin’s natural renewal over time.
