StemFactor is a lightweight serum built around two unusual ingredients: human stem cell conditioned media and human fibroblast conditioned media. "Conditioned media" is the nutrient liquid that cells are grown in, in a laboratory. As the cells grow, they release growth factors and other proteins into that liquid, and it is this liquid, not the cells themselves, that goes into the serum.

The rest of the formula is deliberately short: witch hazel, a cellulose thickener, phosphatidylcholine (which Osmosis uses to carry ingredients in tiny liposomes) and a touch of lemon peel oil. Osmosis describes the technology as exosome-based.

StemFactor is often used as the first serum after cleansing, with other serums and a moisturiser layered on top. It is listed for ageing, dry, pigmented and sensitive skin, so it is one of the more versatile serums in the range, and it sits comfortably alongside a vitamin A serum in the evening.

Ask us about StemFactor at our clinic in Abbotsford, and we can help you work out where it fits in your routine.

Key benefits

  • Made with human stem cell and fibroblast conditioned media, a source of growth factors and skin proteins
  • Supports a glowing, refreshed-looking complexion
  • Uses exosome technology to help skin look smoother and more even

How to use

Apply 2 pumps or desired amount on clean skin morning and evening. Follow with additional serum(s) and moisturiser if needed (directions from the box).

Osmosis suggests smoothing any leftover serum onto the backs of your hands.

Who it's for

The box lists ageing, sensitive, irritated, pigmented and dry skin. StemFactor suits people who want a light serum with a short ingredient list to add to an existing routine, including those who find stronger actives hard to tolerate.

The key ingredients are derived from human cell cultures grown in a lab, so StemFactor is not vegan. Some people prefer to know this before they buy.
