How to use them
Use them in the same routine morning or night. Apply Exosomes first, then Peptides, 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 Peptides does
Short chains of amino acids that signal skin to support collagen and repair. They are gentle, a good anti-ageing option for people who cannot tolerate retinoids, and they layer easily.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Exosomes and Peptides together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Exosomes and Peptides, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (aging and barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Exosomes or Peptides?
Apply Exosomes first, then Peptides. 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.
Should I use Peptides in the morning or at night?
Peptides: works morning or night. Use morning and night after water-based serums. Low-pH acids applied at the same time can break some peptides down.
Is Exosomes with Peptides safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Exosomes. Check with your doctor.
