How can I troubleshoot redness or sensitivity while using ( plated )™ products?

While redness and sensitivity are common responses for some users when introducing new cosmetic products, ( plated  )™ serums are formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Users typically see marked reduction in redness and irritation.

Pairing ( plated )™ DAILY which is specifically formulated for the most sensitive, barrier compromised skin with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers, can help reinforce the skin barrier and enhance the overall soothing effect. 

Which ( plated )™ serum is ideal for sensitive or redness prone skin?

DAILY serum is specifically formulated for our most sensitive users. Rich in ultra-hydrating  glycerin, PAC-6 to create an invisible protective layer to lock moisture in and irritants out, as well as platelet-derived exosomes to gently rejuvenate the appearance of the skin and deliver key antioxidants to combat oxidative stress, DAILY is the ideal choice. This richer, bouncier formula floods the skin with the hydration, renewal, and protection sensitive skin craves. Users report soothed, calmer looking skin with a glass-like glow.

What types of sensitive skin should I be aware of?

Sensitive skin can present in several ways:

• Reactive / Flushing-Prone Skin: Easily reddens from temperature changes or active ingredients but quickly subsides. 

• Barrier-Compromised Skin: Feels tight, stings, or flakes due to a weakened skin barrier.

• Allergic or Irritated Skin: Reacts to fragrances, preservatives, or certain cosmetic ingredients.

• Rosacea-Prone Skin: Characterized by visible redness, broken capillaries, and occasional acne-like bumps.

How should I adjust my ( plated )™ routine for rosacea-prone skin?

The key is choosing the right serum for your skin and keeping your routine ultra-simple while starting new products. Start with 1 pump of DAILY Serum once daily, preferably at night. After 1–2 weeks, increase to twice daily if well-tolerated. Pairing with a fragrance-free moisturizer ensures your routine does not cause flare-ups.

Observe your skin closely — mild flushing may occur upon application for very reactive skin, but usually subsidies within moments. Once visible redness and irritation have completely subsided and improvements in the skin tone and texture are observed, consider switching to INTENSE to accelerate results and enhance renewal.

What should I do if the look of redness persists?

Transient application pinkness is normal. Ensure your skin is clean, thoroughly rinsed of cleanser, hydrated, and avoid combining multiple products simultaneously. But if true irritation persists, reduce the frequency of application to every other day and consult with your skin therapist, aesthetic provider, or dermatologist for guidance on safe cosmetic use.

Can environmental factors affect skin sensitivity?

Yes. Heat, wind, sun exposure, and low humidity, and even diet can increase reactivity. Applying sunscreen daily, maintaining hydration, and minimizing exposure to harsh environmental conditions, and being mindful of diet triggers can help maintain skin comfort and reduce the appearance of redness.

When should I expect improvements in the appearance of redness?

With consistent use, most users notice reduced redness appearance, improved skin barrier resilience, and a calmer appearance within 2–4 weeks. Full cosmetic benefits, including more balanced tone and smoother texture, typically appear after 4–6 weeks. Patience and gentle, consistent care are key to achieving optimal results.
