Exosomes in Skincare: The Next Frontier in Skin Rejuvenation

June 6, 2025

If you love staying in touch with the latest skincare innovations, you’ve may have heard about exosomes – the latest development that’s transforming the way we support skin health, healing and amplify rejuvenation.

This may sound a little science-y (because it is!), but trust us – exosomes are something your skin will thank you for.

 

So… What On Earth Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are microscopic messengers originally derived from stem cells – think of them as tiny delivery trucks transporting vital information between cells. They’re naturally packed with powerful ingredients like proteins, lipids and genetic material – basically, all the good stuff your skin needs to thrive. These intelligent little vesicles help guide your skin cells on how to behave, regenerate and repair.

In skincare, exosomes are used to stimulate collagen production, calm inflammation, and support deep skin renewal. Because they mimic your body’s natural communication systems, they help kickstart your skin’s regeneration processes in a way that’s intuitive and easily utilised within the body. We love that they essentially reprogram your skin cells to perform at their best – like hitting refresh and reminding your skin how to function like it did in your teens!

This makes exosomes particularly useful after treatments like microneedling or nanofusion, they supercharge results whilst your skin is primed to absorb every last drop of rejuvenation.

How Do Exosomes Work in the Skin?

Once exosomes penetrate the skin, they act like little conductors, directing healing and renewal from the inside out. Here’s what they do:

  • Stimulate fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for collagen and elastin production – leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
  • Reduce oxidative stress (the damage caused by pollution, UV, and lifestyle) and support the skin’s ability to defend itself.
  • Calm inflammation, making them ideal for use after advanced skin treatments when the skin needs extra TLC.
  • Promote cellular regeneration, helping to heal damage, repair the skin barrier and restore overall skin function.

 

In short, exosomes help retrain tired, stressed, or damaged skin cells, allowing them to perform like younger, healthier versions of themselves.

 

The Power of Bacterial Exosomes

Exosomes can come from several sources – plants, human stem cells, and now, beneficial bacteria. Dermalogica’s Exo Booster harnesses exosomes from Lactobacillus, a probiotic bacteria already found in our body, that naturally supports the skin’s microbiome.

These Lactobacillus exosomes are vegan-friendly and incredibly effective because they’re already familiar to the skin. This makes them highly compatible and helps them integrate easily, delivering powerful results without causing irritation.

Plus, they offer unique benefits like:

  • Strengthening the skin’s barrier
  • Enhancing hydration and resilience
  • Supporting microbiome balance for calmer, healthier skin

Meet Dermalogica’s ExoBooster!

Dermalogica’s Exo Booster combines 10 billion Lactobacillus exosomes with their exclusive Pro-Resolution Technology, which includes omega-3 and peptides for even greater rejuvenation.

This powerhouse booster:

  • Increases skin firmness and smoothness
  • Speeds up healing post-treatment
  • Reduces inflammation and redness
  • Delivers a noticeable glow and bounce to the skin

 

It’s ideal for use after treatments like microneedling, RF, or lasers – when the skin is most receptive and in need of repair.

How It’s Used

Your therapist will apply the Exo Booster directly after your professional skin treatment, and you’ll be sent home with a week’s worth of serum to keep the results rolling.

Simply apply morning and night for 7 days, letting the exosomes continue their rejuvenating work long after you leave the treatment room.

Clinical studies showed that Exo Booster:

  • Provided an 86% greater reduction in wrinkle appearance
  • Increased skin resilience by 46%
  • Outperformed both human and plant-derived exosomes in post-treatment recovery and overall skin revitalisation
