2026 is officially the year of exosomes. There is finally an ingredient that’s living up to the hype, and it’s not another vitamin C derivative or peptide complex. What used to require expensive clinical treatments is now available in products you can pick up at Watsons Malaysia. If you want to stay ahead of the skincare curve and actually see results that make people ask, “what are you using?”, it’s time to add exosomes to your routine.
What are exosomes, and why your skin needs them
Think of exosomes as tiny messengers that tell your skin cells to act younger. These microscopic vesicles contain proteins, lipids, and growth factors that communicate directly with your skin cells at a cellular level. The results? Reduced fine lines, faded hyperpigmentation, improved texture, faster healing of acne scars, and a strengthened skin barrier. Basically, everything you’ve been trying to achieve with ten different products.
The top 5 exosome products at Watsons
WARDAH Lift Regenerating Serum
A Malaysian brand that is packed with powerhouse ingredients you’d expect from K-beauty—exosomes, EGF, PDRN, and Proxylane—at a price that won’t make you wince. The formula works systematically: exosomes trigger cellular repair and regeneration, growth factors stimulate collagen and elastin production, PDRN improves skin elasticity, and Proxylane provides deep hydration and plumping. The serum absorbs beautifully without stickiness, making it easy to layer with other products.
COSRX PDRN Exosome Skinplanning Glaze Mask
This overnight mask from COSRX combines PDRN and plant-derived exosomes to tackle dullness and fatigue while you sleep. The glaze-like gel texture feels luxurious yet lightweight, forming an occlusive layer that locks in all the good stuff—multiple forms of hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, niacinamide for brightening, and panthenol with allantoin for soothing. The formula absorbs well without feeling sticky or heavy, making it perfect for Malaysia’s climate.
BANOBAGI Skin Booster Mask Firming
It delivers serious lifting power with a duo of Salmon PDRN and Ginseng exosomes working together to boost collagen synthesis and restore elasticity. The hydrogel sheet adheres beautifully to facial contours, allowing deep penetration of actives for maximum firming benefits. After just one use, skin feels noticeably tighter and more supple, with a visible reduction in sagging. It’s an at-home treatment that rivals professional facials.
DERMATORY Cica 2x Blemish Soothing Gauze Pad
These innovative gauze pads tackle breakouts from irritation to post-blemish marks with a smart two-sided design. One side gently exfoliates and preps skin, while the other delivers intensive soothing treatment care without sliding off. What sets these apart is the nano-sized exosome cica formula—smaller than your pores—combined with madecassoside and niacinamide for powerful calming and brightening effects. These are perfect for anyone dealing with active breakouts or stubborn marks that won’t fade.
NATURALS BY WATSONS Luv 10/10 Cica Exosome Body Cleanser
A body wash that treats your skin as well as your face cleanser does. This cica exosome-infused formula goes beyond basic cleansing, actively hydrating and soothing skin while you shower. It lathers beautifully, rinses clean without residue, and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable—not tight or stripped. What makes this even better? The bottle is made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastics.
