FAQ

  • What are exosomes?

    Great question. Exosomes are nanoparticles that package biosignals for export. In other words, they act as important messengers between cells, protecting and transporting the body’s natural messages. The exosomes in Exo Baume are biomimetic—vegan, lab-made, and modeled after the skin’s own signaling system. Their "message" is derived from bitter melon prebiotics.

  • I have sensitive/reactive/eczema-prone skin—can I use this?

    Yes! Exo Baume is formulated without fragrance or harsh ingredients like retinol, and was clinically tested to be safe for sensitive skin.

  • Can I use this if I'm allergic to retinol?

    Yes! Exo Baume does not contain any retinoids. We recommend performing a patch test and checking with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

  • When in my routine should I use this product?

    An easy rule of thumb is to apply Exo Baume as the first step in your routine after cleansing. But if you have oily skin, you might prefer to use Exo Baume as overnight mask—in that case, use it as the last step in your routine, instead of moisturizer.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Exo Baume has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're concerned.

Reviews

Love this exosome balm. I

"Love this exosome balm. I use it first thing after cleansing and toner. I have combo skin but it doesn’t make me break out. I noticed it’s healing my skin barrier rapidly as it sets a protective healing layer on my skin before adding other products. I dont even break out after layering retinol afterwards which is a first. The only thing I don’t like is not knowing when it’s nearly finished (as with the rest of the skinfix products). I also hope a refill option will come out soon as I’m planning to keep restocking."

I have been using Skinfix

"I have been using Skinfix faithfully for 2+ years - the foaming cleanser, serum and triple lipid peptide cream. I decided to try the Exo + Ectoin intensive repair baume. It’s amazing! I use it at night after cleansing, and my skin already feels bouncier, after only a few weeks of use. Both the baume and serum are great, but I will be making a permanent swap to this baume - that’s how good my skin looks and feels!"

"I have dry, sensitive and mature skin and this works great. I layer at night with a retinal and then seal it all in with the Skinfix Triple Lipid Peptide Cream."

Love how light this feels

"Love how light this feels going on but how moisturizing it ends up being. A great baume for all skin types. Hoping a refill comes out just like for my beloved Triple Peptide Cream. 😊"

Adds comfort and it’s non irritating

"Very moisturizing."

Nazanin E. (5/5)

This one surprised me in

"This one surprised me in the best way. I almost didn’t buy it because it is a 'balm', and the Barrier+ cream is already really hydrating, so I wasn’t sure I needed it. But I specifically wanted something with lipids and peptides, and I’m so glad I gave this a chance because it has its own place in my routine and focuses on protecting my skin from the stress that dryness, irritation, and the environment cause. It was 100% worth the investment. The texture is really unique — it’s not a heavy balm like you’d expect. It’s more of a lightweight, fluid “liquid balm” that spreads easily and absorbs well, but still feels rich and cushioning on the skin. It’s not sticky at all, and it layers really well with everything else in my routine. This is a high quality balm-cream combination and I will never go without it! I use this right before my moisturizer, and I really feel like it helps lock in everything underneath it. My skin IS SO SOFT, more hydrated, and just feels more nourished overall. This comes out of the bottle feeling like a dream. I also like that this isn’t just a basic moisturizer — the ectoin helps reduce irritation, protect the skin from stress, and hold onto moisture. That’s why I still use it daily, even though it’s called a repair balm. It adds that extra layer of support that I didn’t realize I was missing. Do NOT pass this one up. I am 41 years old and I have struggled with dry spots as I get older. This is an immediate solution to that problem."

Marissa M. (5/5)

I love this product. My

"I love this product. My skin as gotten dry as I've aged, and with the New England winter my skin has been struggling. Using this before I put on the barrier creme makes a huge difference. I have always had sensitive skin and rosacea. When I have a flare up, even products I typically use can burn, but this feels so good going onto my skin and absorbs well. This helps calm down my skin and take down redness. I have noticed if I go a while without using it, the first application when I restart it can sting a little. It doesn't linger, though and the next application seems to be fine. I haven't noticed any improvement with fine lines. I wish this was a refillable product though. That is the one thing I would change."

Love

"I love the way this balm makes my skin feel. I primarily use it at night after tretinoin and, the next morning, my skin is so soft, smooth and plump. It’s pretty thick, but I find that if I warm it up between my fingers a bit, it glides on pretty easily. I really enjoy using this balm!"

Q&A

Can this be used over Estée Lauder Night Serum?
Hi Barbara, Because Exo Baume does not contain any harsh ingredients, it should play well with others. If you're concerned about using Exo Baume with something else in your routine, we recommend performing a patch test or checking with your healthcare provider. An easy rule of thumb is to apply Exo Baume as the first step in your routine after cleansing. We hope this helps!
I currently use triple lipid + collagen serum and vitamin c in the morning. Where in the routine should the Exo product go? Should the layering be exo, serum, vitamin c, then moisturizer?
Hi H, Yes—that’s a great routine! We recommend alternating the time of day you use them: vitamin C in the morning to protect and brighten, and Exo Baume at night to support skin renewal. Both formulas are packed full of high-impact ingredients, so you probably don't need to layer them to see results. But if you want to, that's safe, too!
Is this formulation compatible with oily acne prone skin? If not, will you be making one for it?
Hi there, Exo Baume might feel too rich for oily skin in the daytime, but those with oily skin who want to reap the smoothing, evening, and firming benefits might love using it as an overnight treatment. It's noncomedogenic, so it shouldn't be a problem for acne-prone skin.
I use kiehls vitamin c serum in the AM but I use the triple lipid collagen serum at night. I just bought the exo repair Baum. Should I use that after the triple lipid serum and before moisturizer at night?
Hi Jacquie, An easy rule of thumb is to apply Exo Baume as the first step in your routine after cleansing. But if you have oily skin, you might prefer to use Exo Baume as overnight mask—in that case, use it as the last step in your routine. Option 1: If skin feels dry or sensitive, layer it underneath your moisturizer for a boost of hydration. Option 2: If skin feels oily, use it as an overnight treatment at the end of your skincare routine, instead of moisturizer. Because Exo Baume does not contain any harsh ingredients, it should play well with others. If you're concerned about using Exo Baume with something else in your routine, we recommend performing a patch test or checking with your healthcare provider.
Should I use this product and tretinoin or would that be over doing it / irritating?
Hi Madalyn, Exo Baume works well with retinoids to counteract their drying side effects, and amplify results. If you're concerned, you can always start with a patch test.
Hi! Random question but does the shape of the top do anything in particular or is it just aesthetic?
Hi P., Thank you for reaching out. The pump top and shape do have functionality- to avoid dispensing too much product as well as being ergonomic to dispense in the hand. This also ensures the airless component remains intact for quality concerns. We hope this helps!
