📢 3-Second Summary: Retinol efficacy without the irritation? We unveil the 'Plant-derived Exosomes' taking the 2025 US beauty market by storm, along with a routine to boost effects by 200%.
"I applied it last night, and my skin texture was completely different this morning."
Recently, there is an ingredient generating rave reviews among active seniors in their 50s on US TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It is none other than 'Plant-derived Exosomes'. Until 2024, 'Retinol' held the throne of anti-aging, but many gave up halfway due to its characteristic stinging and redness (Retinoid reaction).
However, as of December 2025, the landscape has completely changed. This technology, which is harmless to the human body while 'directly delivering' active ingredients deep into cells, has emerged as a game changer in the beauty industry.

Why 'Plant-derived' Exosomes?
Simply put, exosomes are 'intercellular delivery couriers'. They safely transport active ingredients to the cell nucleus in tiny capsules ranging from 50 to 200nm (nanometers). Previously, exosomes extracted from human fat or stem cells were used, but infection risks, ethical issues, and high prices were major hurdles.
On the other hand, Plant-derived Exosomes are different.
According to the latest research presented at ISEV 2025, plant-derived exosomes show absorption rates similar to human-derived ones while having an immune rejection response of nearly 0%. Crucially, leading companies like Kolmar Korea have developed 'hybrid delivery system' technologies, boosting absorption rates by over 2.4 times.
💡 Insider Scoop: The Secret of Numbers
When choosing a product, check the 'Particles per mL' rather than just the exosome content percentage. Truly high-efficacy products state exactly how many exosome particles are included, not just a simple ppm concentration. As of 2025, products with over 10 billion particles per mL are the 'real deal'.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Are there any side effects to plant-derived exosomes?
Unlike human-derived exosomes, there is almost no risk of immune rejection or viral infection. However, if you are allergic to specific plants (e.g., Mugwort, Rose, etc.), be sure to check the full ingredients list and perform a patch test before use.
Q. How should I store it?
Freeze-dried powder forms are the most stable, but liquid ampoules can be sensitive to high temperatures. Refrigeration is recommended after opening, and they should be kept in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Q. Can I use it with Retinol?
Yes, it is possible. In fact, Cica exosomes and similar ingredients have a synergistic effect by soothing the irritation from Retinol. However, when combining with high-dose Retinol for the first time, it is better to use them on alternate days to allow for an adjustment period.
