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 Zinc PCA does
Zinc salts help regulate sebum and have mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. That is why zinc so often appears next to niacinamide in oil-control serums.
