cepoLABRX - BIOGENIC EV COMPLEX

Designed to be used in a professional setting after aesthetic procedures, or as part of post-procedure skin care routines, this product helps soothe sensitive-looking skin after laser and energy-based treatments and supports the appearance of skin recovery during post-procedure skin care routines. Its hero ingredient is a biogenic complex derived from a strain of Ceriporia lacerate, a type of fungus, purpose-selected for cepoLab’s RX line, which results in a distinct extracellular vesicle and secondary metabolite profile. This is designed to deliver a more precise biogenic response for post-procedure skin, compared to the main cepoLAB line. In a clinical study conducted by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute, after using the product for four weeks, skin density improved by 15.79% on the treated side vs. 4.39% on the untreated side.

Product Innovation
cepoLAB RX is distinguished by its use of a purpose-selected Ceriporia lacerata strain, rather than increased concentration or reformulation. This strain differentiation results in a unique extracellular vesicle and secondary metabolite profile, enabling a more precise and targeted biogenic response. The formulation is intentionally minimal, preservative-free, and optimized for post-procedure skin conditions. Its innovation lies in aligning strain-level biotechnology with real clinical use, as the product is already widely adopted in Korean dermatology clinics as post-procedure supportive care. This combination of strain science, precision formulation, and proven professional use sets cepoLAB RX apart.
