The Science of Glow: Why Exosomes & PDRN Are Revolutionizing Skincare

Skincare is evolving beyond hydration and surface-level beauty. Today, science is bringing clinical-grade innovation straight into our daily routines. At Dr. Glowed, our formulas are powered by two of the most transformative discoveries in modern dermatology: Exosomes and PDRN (Salmon DNA). These ingredients, once reserved for in-clinic procedures, are now redefining what’s possible at home.


What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic messengers that help cells communicate. Think of them as your skin’s delivery drones—carrying vital nutrients, growth factors, and healing signals from one cell to another. Derived from Centella Asiatica, a powerful Korean botanical known for its soothing and regenerative properties, our Centella Exosomes support deep cellular repair and barrier recovery.

Benefits of Exosomes: - Stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer skin. - Soothe irritation and redness after cosmetic treatments or sun exposure. - Strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, improving resilience and hydration.

What Is PDRN (Salmon DNA)?
PDRN—short for Polydeoxyribonucleotide—is extracted from purified salmon DNA. In medical aesthetics, it’s known for boosting tissue regeneration and speeding up healing after laser or microneedling treatments. At Dr. Glowed, we use it in both our Stardust Serum and Lunar Regenerative Cream to promote renewal at a cellular level.

Benefits of PDRN: - Accelerates cell turnover for smoother, younger-looking skin. - Enhances elasticity and firmness. - Reduces the appearance of fine lines and scars.


 

Why Niacinamide Completes the Trio
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) complements exosomes and PDRN by evening out skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and strengthening the skin barrier. It’s the balancing element that ensures results are visible yet gentle.

How These Ingredients Work Together
Dr. Glowed’s formulations are crafted to create harmony between these powerhouse actives. Exosomes deliver repair signals, PDRN regenerates, and Niacinamide balances — resulting in radiant, resilient, and glowing skin.
