Hey guys, real quick, have you checked out Droplet? It is by far the most revolutionary

0:03.6

skincare device on the market. Basically, it takes those harder to penetrate ingredients and pushes them deeper into the skin layers. They're actually getting to the cells that can utilize those ingredients. Recently, they just launched their Exxone Serum Mist, which is a phenomenal product because it's using real exosomes that are shipped to you on ice, so you don't have to worry about them being degraded by the time you use them.

And so when you put the capsule of exosomes into your droplet device,

it creates a fine mist. That mist is allowing those exomes to be pushed into the layers where they're going to actually be able to interact with the cells that can use them for signaling. If you want to check out the device, go to droplet.io, use our code Anarchy, A-N-A-R-C-H-Y, to get a very special bundle deal on this Exxome and Droplet device duo.
