The rapid advancement of biotechnology has introduced numerous innovative ingredients into the fields of skincare and pharmaceuticals, aiming to help people achieve a healthier and more youthful state. Among the many new ingredients that have attracted significant attention, exosomes are undoubtedly one of the focal points.
In skincare applications, the mechanism of exosomes does not involve simple “component supplementation” but rather represents a more sophisticated form of intercellular signaling or cellular instruction transmission.
The following section details the principles and processes through which exosome-based skincare products achieve their claimed effects:
Core Principle of Exosomes: Intercellular Communication
The health and functions of skin cells (such as collagen synthesis, damage repair, and antioxidant capacity) rely on efficient communication between cells. However, with aging and environmental stressors (e.g., UV radiation, pollution), this communication mechanism tends to become inefficient or disrupted.
Exosomes act as “miniature information packages” or “signal couriers” released by cells. Source cells (e.g., stem cells) encapsulate biologically active substances with specific functions (such as proteins and RNA) into exosomes and release them into the extracellular environment. These exosomes are then taken up by surrounding target cells (e.g., skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes), thereby precisely modulating the biological behavior of the recipient cells.
The Benefit Of Exosomes In Skincare
Exosomes do not directly serve as “building materials” for the skin but act as “messengers” to stimulate the intrinsic activity of skin cells. Their primary mechanisms of action are as follows:
1 Core Function: Regulation and Instruction
Carrying Functional RNA: Exosomes are rich in various microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs. Once absorbed by skin cells, these RNAs function like “instructions” that upregulate or downregulate the expression of specific genes within the cells.
2. Promoting Repair and Regeneration
Stimulates fibroblast proliferation and activity, increasing the synthesis of type I and III collagen and elastin, thereby fundamentally addressing wrinkles and skin laxity.
Enhances keratinocyte migration, accelerates skin barrier repair, and ameliorates sensitivity and redness.
3. Potent Anti-Inflammatory and Soothing Effects
Modulates immune responses by reducing levels of key inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α). This is critical for alleviating inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and acne.
4. Antioxidant Protection
Bioactive molecules carried by exosomes boost the intrinsic antioxidant capacity of skin cells (e.g., by upregulating superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity), helping cells combat oxidative stress and UV-induced damage.
5. Improved Microcirculation and Angiogenesis
Promotes vascular endothelial cell growth, enhances skin microcirculation, and delivers more nutrients and oxygen to the skin, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion.
Typical Implementation Methods of Exosome Skincare Products
The most common sources are human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), typically derived from umbilical cord, adipose tissue, or dental pulp. Exosomes secreted by these cells exhibit potent regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties.
Plant-derived exosomes (e.g., from grapes or broccoli) are also explored, though their mechanisms of action and efficacy remain under investigation, and their compatibility with human cells may vary.
Delivery System
The lipid bilayer structure of exosomes enables efficient penetration of the stratum corneum while protecting internal bioactive components from degradation.
Skincare formulations often combine exosomes with permeation-enhancing technologies such as microneedles, nano-needles, or fractional lasers to overcome the skin barrier and ensure effective delivery to the dermis. Topical application alone remains a key R&D challenge due to limited penetration efficiency.
Formulation in Products
As nanoscale particles, exosomes cannot be stored in pure liquid form. They are typically lyophilized into freeze-dried powders and reactivated with compatible solvents prior to use to maximize biological activity.These activated solutions are incorporated into products such as serums and ampoules.
