Can you use Exosomes with Niacinamide?

Safe to mix

Yes, it is safe.

There is no known chemical conflict between Exosomes and Niacinamide, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.

How to use them

Use them in the same routine morning or night. Apply Niacinamide first, then Exosomes, moving from thinnest to thickest texture. Finish with sunscreen in the morning.

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.

What Niacinamide does

An all-rounder that controls oil, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness and evens out tone. It gets along with almost every other active, which is why it is in so many routines.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Exosomes and Niacinamide together?

Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Exosomes and Niacinamide, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier), so together they reinforce each other.

Which goes first, Exosomes or Niacinamide?

Apply Niacinamide first, then Exosomes. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH 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.
