Vogue Beauty Board Tests the Latest Exosome Skincare Launches
Vogue's Beauty Board has assessed a range of new exosome skincare offerings, a sector that has expanded since March 2025. According to board-certified plastic surgeon Lara Devgan, exosomes are tiny vesicles that influence cellular communication and the aging process; however, she cautions that they do not yet serve as essential components like retinoids or peptides. Neada Deters and Sean Garrette reviewed four specific products: Eighth Day's The Overnight Eye Cream Treatment, Medik8's Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Serum, LYMA's Power Youth Serum, and Naturopathica's Gotu Kola + Fruit Exosome Gel Moisturizer. The article explores their ingredients, benefits, and Vogue's testing approach, which emphasizes expert opinions alongside personal experiences, addressing factors like texture, packaging, and skin issues.
