What Ceramides does
Lipids that make up about half of your skin barrier. Topping them up reduces water loss, stinging and flakiness, which makes ceramides the best friend of anyone using retinoids or acids.

What Exosomes does
Tiny cell-signalling particles, most often derived from plant or stem-cell cultures for cosmetic use. In-clinic exosome treatments (injected or applied after microneedling) have more published evidence than the topical serums sold direct to consumers. Regulatory status varies by country, and topical evidence is still described as early and limited, so treat "regeneration" or anti-ageing claims with caution.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ceramides and Exosomes together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Ceramides and Exosomes, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Ceramides or Exosomes?
Apply Exosomes first, then Ceramides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Ceramides in the morning or at night?
Ceramides: works morning or night. Use as your moisturiser step, morning and night. On nights with actives, you can buffer by applying a ceramide cream first.
Should I use Exosomes in the morning or at night?
Exosomes: works morning or night. If using a topical exosome serum, apply after cleansing and before heavier creams. For in-clinic exosome treatments, use only a qualified, licensed practitioner and ask what the exosomes are derived from.
Is Ceramides with Exosomes safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Exosomes. Check with your doctor.
