In aesthetic medicine and skincare alike, we’re hearing more and more about exosomes: the tiny vesicles that are naturally secreted by the body’s cells. These nanoparticles are 300 times smaller than a skin pore, and capable of penetrating deep into the skin’s superficial layers to repair and rejuvenate. More specifically, exosomes act as messengers, transporting active ingredients directly to skin cells to intensify their efficacy. Until now, this technology has been reserved for professional clinical treatments.
The Inkey List (famed for their skincare products that focus on a particular active ingredient) has broken new ground by launching a serum formulated mainly from exosomes. Released in March, the serum has been a hit on social networks ever since, with latest figures reporting that one bottle of this affordable serum is sold every two minutes worldwide.
“It’s not a salon treatment, but it could be,” notes Colette Laxton, co-founder of the brand. This assertion is justified by its composition, which contains 3 million exosomes of plant origin combined with antioxidant centella asiatica, tripeptides (for skin firmness), hydrating hyaluronic acid and ectoin, capable of supporting the skin barrier’s function. A cutting-edge cocktail to stimulate facial radiance, smooth skin and reactivate cell renewal. The figures speak for themselves: according to the brand’s clinical tests, in 14 days, this serum boosts skin collagen production by 300 per cent, improves skin repair by 63 per cent (in 8 hours) and reduces signs of inflammation by 55 per cent. The result: an undeniable glow.
