TheGlitz received this brand-new launch from ClayCo… the Cica Microneedling Exosome Serum and naturally, we were intrigued. Known for their effective, science-backed skincare with a luxe touch, ClayCo has a reputation for crafting formulas that not only sound good on the label but actually works wonderfully well on the skin. So when this sleek little serum landed on our desk, we knew we had to test it out pronto…

After all, ClayCo consistently rolls out stellar products, so the big question was: would this one live up to the legacy, or surpass it altogether?

First Impressions: Packaging & Texture

Let’s start with the aesthetics. The packaging is clean, compact, and feels clinical-meets-luxury, very ClayCo. The serum itself is lightweight with a faint botanical scent, smooth in texture, and absorbs quickly. No sticky residue, no overwhelming fragrance, just clean performance.

But what really piqued our interest was the microneedling exosome technology. Yes, you read that right… this serum mimics the benefits of a needle-based treatment, without the needles. Instead, it uses spicules derived from Cica Exosomes, which create micro-pathways on the skin’s surface to help the active ingredients sink in deeper. Translation? Maximum benefits, zero pain.

What’s Inside: Ingredients – The Skin-Loving Lineup

This serum reads like a who’s who of skincare heroes:

  • Cica Exosomes: Calms, heals, and boosts regeneration.
  • Copper Tripeptide-1: A powerful anti-aging peptide known for improving skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Collagen: Helps maintain structure and plumpness.
  • Ceramide NP: Strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate: A deeply hydrating form of hyaluronic acid for long-lasting moisture.

This ingredient cocktail is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone and it’s designed to be used both day and night, seamlessly slotting into your existing routine.

The Experience: TheGlitz Tried ‘N’ Tested

We applied the serum for five days straight, morning and night. The sensation during application is slightly tingly, which is a sign the micro-delivery system is at work. It’s not painful, but you’ll definitely feel the product doing its thing, like a facial workout in a bottle.

And the results? Let’s just say, our skin was glowing like it had just had an expensive salon treatment.

  • Fine lines appeared slightly smoother
  • Skin texture became noticeably more even
  • Dullness? Better, much better.
  • Post-acne marks slightly lightened
  • And perhaps most impressively, our skin barrier felt stronger, more resilient, especially in the face of monsoon humidity and long hours under makeup.

In short, this serum doesn’t just promise results, it delivers them.

The Verdict: Worth the Hype (and Then Some)

At ₹999 for 30ml, the Cica Microneedling Exosome Serum offers incredible value. You’re essentially getting the benefits of microneedling and a barrier-boosting treatment, without stepping foot into a clinic. Whether you’re battling texture, dehydration, dullness, or early signs of aging, this serum covers all the bases.

And here’s the kicker: It’s available everywhere, from the ClayCo website to platforms like Amazon, Nykaa, Myntra, Tira, Blinkit, Zepto, and more. So restocking won’t be an issue once your skin falls in love (which it will).

Final Word from TheGlitz

ClayCo has done it again… and this time, they’ve managed to bring high-performance skincare straight to your shelf, minus the usual fuss. Their latest innovation, the Cica Microneedling Exosome Serum, is everything we didn’t know we needed. It’s smart, effective, and future-forward, but still completely approachable. Whether you’re a serum superfan or just dipping your toes into the world of actives, this bottle will make you feel like you’ve leveled up your routine without entering a skincare bootcamp.

At the heart of the formula? Microneedle-like spicules derived from Cica Exosomes, designed to enhance absorption and deliver actives deep into the skin, without discomfort or downtime. The result? That post-facial glow, but from the comfort of your own bathroom. And with ingredients like Copper Tripeptide-1, Collagen, Ceramide NP, and Sodium Hyaluronate, it does more than just smooth. It restores, brightens, calms, and strengthens your skin barrier all at once.

Over a few days of use, we noticed a visible improvement in texture… fine lines looked softer, dullness was dialed down, and our skin felt plumper, fresher, and more resilient. It’s especially ideal for city skin that battles pollution, stress, and fatigue. Plus, the lightweight gel formula absorbs quickly, layers beautifully under moisturiser and sunscreen, and can easily be used both day and night.

So go ahead, ditch the needles and keep the glow, because ClayCo just bottled a facial, minus the ouch. It’s skincare that works with your skin, not against it, and that’s a philosophy we can fully endorse.

Sharp results, soft skin, no sting, now that’s a serum we can get behind. Add it to your cart, add it to your routine, and consider your glow-up officially activated.
