Everything You Need to Know About Exosomes

Discover the beauty secrets of exosomes.

Exosomes — the latest discovery in the skincare industry and yet still a secret among most people, even skincare veterans. What are they and more importantly, why are more people starting to talk about them?

Think of exosomes as little tiny, DHL packages coming to save the day. Each cell (mostly) in the human body secretes these packages filled with genetic material, lipids, proteins, growth factors, and other tools that, when secreted from one cell, activate another to work its magic.

Still a bit vague? Let’s better understand what exosomes are, how they work, their benefits, and how to incorporate them into your beauty routine.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are like little DHL packages that include growth factors, which promote cell turnover. They are carrier vesicles that contain valuable bioactive proteins, growth factors, and nucleic acids. They are envoys sent from one cell to another to help different cells in your body communicate with one another. If you imagine your body to be a small village, exosomes would be the local postal service delivering vital information to each cell.

And as we age, our cells struggle to produce the proteins and enzymes necessary for maintaining healthy, supple, and balanced skin. That’s when exosomes come in handy. Exosomes help by generating and stimulating new proteins within the skin, restoring balance and giving it a more youthful appearance. They're also great for those who suffer from rosacea, as exosomes reduce inflammation, revitalize dull skin, and help maintain hydration.

Are Exosomes Used in Medicine?

Exosomes are nano-size vesicles that cells excrete to communicate with each other. They are packed with lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, like messenger RNA. In aesthetics, they are generally sourced from stem cells—specialized cells that have the ability to develop into many other types of cells. Exosomes have been explored in regenerative medicine to repair cartilage and joints, and many doctors now believe exosomes hold promise for regenerating and repairing skin, and even restoring hair growth. Exosomes might help skin not only look better but also behave like younger skin on a deep cellular level.

How Are Exosomes Beneficial to Your Skin Care Routine?

Exosomes are regenerative, rejuvenating, and restorative. These words are often used to describe the benefits and effects of exosomes on skin. In many clinical studies, exosomes can effectively reduce wound healing times, visibly reduce the appearance of age-related pigmentation, increase firmness in your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, hydrate and nourish your skin, and promote the production of collagen and elastin. And that’s probably still not all of it. A recent split-face study outlined that patients who applied exosomes on one side after receiving microneedling therapy but not on the other side saw an 11.3% post-treatment improvement in elastin on the side where exosomes were applied. The other side saw no improvement.

At What Age Should You Consider Using Exosomes in Your Skin Care Routine?

You can start using exosomes in your 30s, as this is when collagen, hyaluronic acid, and exosome production slow down. It’s also when sun damage and genetics begin to show on the skin. Anyone who wants to even out skin tone, help with scars, pores, fine lines, sagging, or texture of the skin is a candidate for an exosome treatment.

Where Do You See the Future of Exosomes in Skin Care?

The field of regenerative skincare is starting to bloom, and exosomes are at the core of this advancement, targeting the root cause of skin aging. We are only at the top of the iceberg in understanding exosome technology and are excited to lead the charge. Continued research and clinical studies are necessary to inform science and consumers about the possibilities of exosomes, which is the biggest leap forward in skincare since the discovery of retinol.

Why NAYA and Exosomes?

At NAYA, in partnership with our lab, we have discovered a formula to stabilise exosomes exclusive to us so they can be effectively used in a skincare product. Hence, we have created Exosomes Serum. It is a lab-synthesised growth factor based on natural components that link to skin cells, helping boost cell communication and signalling within the body to initiate the renewal and rejuvenation process. It results in supercharged anti-aging benefits, including enhanced firmness, smoother skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone, increased radiance, and reduced pigmentation and age spots. And the best part? It is 100% natural.

We believe that exosomes are particularly beneficial for those who have seen signs of aging, sun damage, loss of collagen, damage from environmental factors, inflamed skin, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.

Exosome technology is amazing for anyone who wants the next level of anti-aging support and superior skincare ingredient science. Adding exosomes into your skincare routine will likely show more of a result when the body’s natural production of exosomes has already begun to decline, which is usually in your early 30s, and your skin is showing signs of sagging, dullness, lack of radiance, and a loss of elasticity. However, exosomes will benefit anyone looking to address the common signs of aging.

We are excited to introduce NAYA’s first Exosomes product with 100% natural Exosome Technology and other exciting ingredients. Sign up to be the first to learn more about this cutting edge innovation. We look forward to introducing it in 2025.
