Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles that carry signaling molecules between cells. In skincare, the source of the exosomes matters. Exosomes can come from platelets, as in Plated Skin Science products, or from human adipose stromal/stem cells derived from fat tissue, as in Exoceuticals branded prodcuts. These are different exosome technologies and should not be considered interchangeable.

Exosome products should be applied directly to clean, dry skin before other skincare products so the exosomes have direct access to the skin. Allow the product to absorb before applying the next step. For example, Plated Skin Science recommends waiting approximately 5 minutes before layering other skincare products.

Exosome products also need to be stored properly. Do not leave them in direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can affect the stability and efficacy of biologically active skincare ingredients. Follow the storage instructions for the specific exosome product because stability and storage requirements vary according to how the exosomes are processed and formulated.

What goes before and after an exosome product matters. Applying the wrong product first can interfere with delivery, while the products layered afterward should complement the exosome treatment and address the needs of the specific Baumann Skin Type.

For the best results, follow the personalized Skin Type Solutions skincare routine in your profile. The routine places the exosome product in the correct step and combines it with the appropriate cleanser, moisturizer, retinoid, antioxidant, sunscreen and other treatment products for your Baumann Skin Type.
