Stem Cells in Skincare: What We Know Now
Stem cell technology has played a powerful role in shaping modern skincare—but the science has evolved significantly since we first began talking about stem cells in topical products.
Today, we understand that live stem cells are never used in skincare. Instead, the real benefits come from the regenerative signals stem cells release—specifically growth factors, cytokines, and peptides that support skin repair, healing, and resilience.
Even more importantly, stem cell technology is now part of a larger regenerative skincare movement, alongside growth factors and exosomes. These advanced ingredients don’t just improve how skin looks—they help skin function better at the cellular level.
For the most up-to-date, comprehensive explanation of stem cells, growth factors, and exosomes—and how they work together—read our complete guide:
