INSIGHT

Exosomes: Cutting-Edge But Costly

  • Exosomes are an emerging, potent treatment that signal skin cells to heal, reduce inflammation, and boost collagen.
  • They work well post-procedure but are expensive and still under active study.
ADVICE

Choose Serums By Need

  • Add targeted serums (hyaluronic acid for hydration, probiotics for microbiome) as needed for climate and skin issues.
  • Use hyaluronic acid in dry climates and probiotic serums for redness or rosacea.
ADVICE

Treat Spots Safely First

  • For dark spots, choose daily-safe brighteners (niacinamide, azelaic acid, kojic acid) before prescription hydroquinone.
  • Use prescription hydroquinone short-term and under medical supervision due to risks and rebound pigment.
