Mr Tiryaki Featured in The Independent: Why Exosomes Are the Future of Skincare
Mr Tiryaki shares an insight with The Independent, on one of the most exciting advancements in cosmetic science: exosomes.
These microscopic messengers, once primarily studied in medical and regenerative fields, are revolutionising skincare and aesthetic treatments. Their ability to communicate with cells, encourage regeneration and visibly improve skin quality makes them as one of the most powerful tools in modern aesthetics.
At the forefront of this movement is Morphiya, a breakthrough exosome-powered biotechnology skincare range clinically proven to regenerate, hydrate, protect and heal the skin, delivering results that are up to 99% more effective than retinol, without the associated irritation.
What Exactly Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles released by stem cells. They are nature’s messengers, tiny bubbles that carry complex instructions from one cell to another. These instructions come in the form of proteins, lipids, RNA and growth factors, all of which help regulate and regenerate cells throughout the body.
In the context of skincare, exosomes are particularly effective because they are able to:
- Penetrate the skin barrier
- Deliver targeted messages directly into the skin’s deeper layers
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Reduce inflammation
- Repair damaged tissue
The result? Smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with visibly improved texture and tone.
Why Exosomes Are Different: A Biological Software Update
We’ve seen various ingredients over the years claim “holy grail” status, but exosomes offer something entirely different: they don’t just support the skin’s structure, they tell it what to do.
The magic lies in what exosomes contain. While previous ingredients like peptides have targeted the cellular hardware, the building blocks of the cell, exosomes contain mainly miRNA, or microRNA, which act as control keys for all intracellular mechanisms. In other words, exosomes interact with the cellular software.
For the first time in the history of medicine and aesthetics, we have access to a treatment that functions like a living software update for the skin. Exosomes deliver intelligent, precise instructions that can change how a cell behaves, prompting it to regenerate, repair and rejuvenate itself more efficiently than ever before.
This ability to control internal cellular mechanisms makes exosomes uniquely powerful in skincare. They contain nearly three times more growth factors than adult stem cells, and can reverse cell deterioration in a way that topical creams simply cannot.
Where Do Exosomes Come From?
Exosomes can be derived from various sources including plants, animals, humans and even food materials such as honey and egg yolk. However, it’s important to note that not all exosomes are created equal and the strength will vary dramatically.
In the UK, human-derived exosomes are not legally permitted for cosmetic use, which is why safe and ethical sourcing is essential. Plant-derived exosomes, while popular, tend to be less effective due to their lower biological compatibility with human skin.
Morphiya is formulated to use ethically sourced exosomes from calf cord blood, processed into hybrosomes, a delivery system that ensures optimal skin absorption while remaining compliant with UK regulations. These exosomes are stable, safe and well-tolerated by all skin types.
Which Skin Concerns Benefit Most from Exosome Skincare?
The versatility of exosomes is one of their greatest strengths. While they are particularly effective at addressing ageing-related concerns, their ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing makes them suitable for a variety of skin conditions.
Common concerns that benefit from exosome skincare include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of elasticity
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Post-procedure recovery (e.g. after microneedling or laser treatments)
- Acne-related inflammation and scarring
- Dehydration and dullness
In addition, exosome-based treatments for hair regeneration are showing significant promise, particularly when combined with technologies such as radio frequency microneedling.
How Can Exosomes Be Used in Your Skincare Routine?
Exosomes are now being integrated into a range of cosmetic formulations, from luxury serums and moisturisers to in-clinic treatments such as RF microneedling, exosome facials and laser therapies. Their use immediately after these procedures helps to accelerate healing, calm inflammation and amplify results.
To incorporate exosomes into your daily skincare routine:
- Start with a clean base – Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and prepare your skin.
- Apply exosome-based products first – These products should be applied before any serums or moisturisers, however if using Morphiya, additional skincare is not required
- Use consistently – Like any regenerative treatment, exosome products work best over time with regular use.
In-clinic treatments that use controlled skin injury (such as microneedling or fractional laser) can significantly improve the absorption and effectiveness of exosome serums. When used post-treatment, they help reduce downtime and improve overall skin quality faster.
Are Exosomes Safe?
Understandably, the idea of biologically derived ingredients can raise concerns. However, exosomes used in skincare differ significantly from stem cells in that they are cell-free and non-living. They do not contain the full cell structure or DNA, which reduces the risk of immune response or instability.
When ethically sourced and processed using advanced techniques such as hybrosome delivery systems, exosomes are considered safe and effective for most skin types. As always, individuals with highly sensitive or allergy-prone skin should consult with a qualified practitioner before starting a new treatment.
What Should You Look for When Buying Exosome Skincare?
As exosome-based skincare continues to grow in popularity, it’s important to know what sets a quality product apart from clever marketing:
- Check for clinical studies: Look for evidence-backed claims and published data on effectiveness.
- Understand the source: Reputable products will specify where their exosomes are sourced from.
- Look for delivery technology: Hybrosome methods enhance absorption and effectiveness.
- Avoid vague claims: Be wary of phrases like “stem cell technology” with no scientific backing.
- Ensure regulatory compliance: Only purchase from brands that follow local cosmetic regulations and sourcing standards.
Morphiya meets all of these criteria, making it one of the most advanced and trustworthy skincare lines currently available.
The Future of Skincare Is Cellular
As the beauty industry continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the future of skincare lies not just in hydration or protection, but in cellular communication and regeneration. And exosomes are leading the charge.
