German aesthetics doctor and leader in anti-inflammatory science Dr. Barbara Sturm has dropped her latest product in the form of the Exoso-metic Face Serum and Eye Serum.
The serums make use of lab-made growth factors to mimic exosomes, which boost the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate. In clinical testing, they reversed the skin’s biological age by about 4.5 years in 28 days, which was tested in a 32-person study group — that’s no small feat. To understand more about the science, Barbara breaks down her guide to exosomes.
What Are Exosomes?
I’ve been researching Exosomes for over 20 years; membrane bound spheres inside a cell, which contain a complex variety of contents derived from the original cell, including proteins, lipids, and genomic DNA. They are key mediators in cell-to-cell communication and have been shown to play pivotal roles in reducing inflammation during aging, encouraging skin regeneration for a healthy, youthful-looking complexion.
As we age, the concentration of circulating exosomes declines and skin structure becomes disordered and ‘untidy,’ resulting in unevenness and wrinkles. Replacing them with Exosome-based skincare, like my EXOSO-METIC COLLECTION, is an effective anti-aging treatment and the future of skincare.
Why They Matter In Skincare
Exosomes are essentially the skin’s own communication system for repair and regeneration. They carry molecular signals from one cell to another, guiding critical processes that can stimulate collagen and elastin production, restore barrier function, and regulate inflammation –the main driver of skin aging – creating the conditions for healthier, more resilient, and youthful-looking skin. Exosomes represent one of the most promising frontiers in regenerative aesthetics, bridging cutting-edge science with the body’s natural ability to heal and rejuvenate.
How They Work On The Skin
When delivered to the skin, exosomes can – by transferring their bioactive cargo – deliver targeted instructions and influence skin cells to activate repair processes, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and strengthen the skin’s barrier. In this way, they help orchestrate a healthier, more balanced skin environment, supporting regeneration and improving overall skin quality from within.
Daily Skincare Use
Yes, exosomes can be incorporated into a daily skincare routine when they are formulated safely and effectively. As with any active innovation in skincare, it’s important that exosomes are used in well-researched, high-quality formulations to ensure both efficacy and safety for everyday use.
How They Sit Alongside Other Ingredients
Exosomes work in harmony with other active ingredients by enhancing the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate. They complement hydrators like Hyaluronic Acid, antioxidants, and barrier-strengthening actives, creating the ideal environment for healthier, more resilient skin.
