Chemist Confessions

👩‍🔬☀️👩‍🔬 30 for 30 Sunscreen Challenge (9/30)
🧪 Bioré Aqua Rich Airy Hold Cream SPF 50+ PA++++
🗒️ One of the strangest textures we've tested. Stressful application, surprisingly lovely finish.
⭐ 6.5/10
PS. UVA camera shows sunscreen at a specific wavelength (320-380nm) meaning it's not a good gauge of protection but a visual of general application.

A $250 exosome serum, worth it, or just expensive hype? 👀

The chemists want you to know that Plated is one of the few topical exosome products using a human-derived source, which makes it especially interesting in today’s exosome landscape.

What stood out most? Unlike many biotech skincare launches, Plated has actually done some clinical testing on the finished product not just the raw ingredient.

That said, the results are mixed. Some people may see great results, while others may not notice much at all.

Is it a must-have? No.
Is it one of the more credible exosome options currently available? Potentially, yes.
