LovelySkin Masterclass Series: Three ingredients to maximize your routine with Dermalogica

In this masterclass, Dermalogica's Kristina S. joins LovelySkin Senior Site Merchant Meg to explore three trending ingredients, peptides, enzymes and exosomes, and share how understanding what they do can help you streamline your routine without losing results.

What are exosomes in skin care?

Exosomes are biological packages created by living cells, tiny naturally occurring vesicles that act as the body's own communication system. They're often paired with other targeted ingredients to help skin care users get more out of a basic routine.

What are peptides for skin?

Peptides are chemical messengers that tell our cells what to do, and they're made up of amino acids that skin uses to build proteins like collagen, elastin and keratin. These proteins hold skin together and keep it firm. Because they layer easily with other actives, peptides are a go-to ingredient for multi-functional skin care products.

What are enzymes in skin care products?

Unlike physical exfoliants, enzymes work by gently breaking the bonds between dead skin cells to exfoliate without scrubbing or irritation. Because enzymes dissolve buildup rather than physically scrubbing it away, they tend to be a gentler option for sensitive skin types who still want exfoliating benefits.
