I used Rael‘s $28 exosome serum every night for a month. My skin has never looked this bouncy — like I could poke my cheek and it would ping back.
The real test? I woke up at 6 AM after a red-eye flight. No concealer. My roommate asked if I’d gotten a facial. I had not.
It’s a lightweight serum that claims to “communicate” with your skin cells to speed up repair. Sounded like sci-fi. I’m a skeptic. But $28? Fine, I’ll bite.
Exosome delivery system
Microscopic vesicles that supposedly carry repair signals deeper than your average vitamin C.
Gel-to-silk texture
Dries down in 10 seconds flat. No sticky pillow situation.
No fragrance
Smells like nothing. Which I actually love — my other serums are perfumey and I’m over it.

Hero here is exosomes derived from goat milk stem cells — weird but effective. They’re backed by copper tripeptide and niacinamide. No retinol, so I could use it every night without peeling.
- Exosomes (goat milk): Signals skin to repair faster
- Copper tripeptide: Boosts collagen without irritation
- Niacinamide: Calms redness and tightens pores
- Hyaluronic acid (low molecular weight): Actually sinks in, not just sits on top
First drop: feels like water, then turns into a silky glide. Absorbs so fast I almost thought I forgot to apply it. Weirdest sensation — but satisfying.
Week 2: I broke out a little. Not purging — just a few chin bumps. Week 3: gone. Skin looked more even than after my last chemical peel. What surprised me? It made my sunscreen sit better. No pilling.
My pores look smaller. My skin is actually bouncy — like a gel mattress. But the glass skin thing? Only if you’re already hydrated. I still needed a moisturizer on top.
This is my new go-to for skin that looks well-rested when I’m not. It’s not magic — but it’s damn close for the price.
