Genuinely interesting science, genuinely overstated marketing. Cosmetic 'exosome' products are usually plant- or ferment-derived vesicle preparations, and they are not the same as the exosome procedures offered in clinics. Independent evidence for topical, over-the-counter versions is still early.

What winter does to your skin

Cold air and indoor heating strip moisture, so layer hydrating toners and essences under a richer cream or occlusive.

How that changes Exosome-type Ingredients

Winter is when barrier support outranks everything. Actives that were comfortable in August frequently are not in January. Exosome-type Ingredients works on anti-ageing & firmness, loss of firmness & elasticity, post-acne marks (pie & pih), and it is normally applied PM.

⚠️ Keep apart from: AHA (Glycolic/Lactic), BHA (Salicylic) — especially when seasonal dryness has already made skin more reactive.
