    Worth it

    I had the worst redness and bumps on my face once I turned 45. I did some laser therapy and started using this daily. I have had only a little redness on occasion but the bumps are gone! My esthetician is very pleased!!

    Breakthrough we’ve been waiting for

    At 46, I’ve been taking genuinely good care of my skin for the last 15 years. I moisturize, use high-quality products, apply sunscreen, and stay hydrated. I visit my dermatologist regularly. This year, I tried multifrax for the first time, and completed a total of three rounds. It was my last session where my dermatologist told me about Plated Intense serum, and I brought it home. The multifrax “scratches,” which typically showed up on day two and lasted for 10 days, NEVER APPEARED. This serum completely calmed and healed my skin from the procedure. I’ve used it every day since. It’s helped make my skin brighter and even feel smoother. Amazing new skin care technology, keep it up Plated!

    Hydrating serum

    I did not see the hype in this product for what it costs. I used the product for two months daily, day and night and did not notice any changes or improvements in my skin.

INTENSE Serum Refill

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ( plated ) INTENSE Serum?

INTENSE Serum is our most concentrated anti-aging exosome serum, powered by proprietary Renewosome® technology. It's a medical-grade formula designed for the most challenging skin concerns: fine lines, wrinkles, redness, brown spots, and uneven tone and texture. Apply once daily.

What does ( plated ) INTENSE Serum do?

INTENSE Serum helps improve the appearance of the most challenging signs of aging: fine lines, wrinkles, redness, brown spots, and uneven tone and texture.

Clinically, it's been shown to deliver 2x younger-looking skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, and boost luminosity and glow. Most people see visible results within 6 weeks, with a transformation that builds over time.

Who is ( plated ) INTENSE Serum for?

INTENSE Serum is for anyone looking to target more advanced or stubborn signs of aging with our most concentrated formula. It's suitable for all skin types and is an especially strong fit when fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, or uneven tone and texture are your top concerns. As with all ( plated ) serums, your provider can help confirm it's the right match for your skin.

How often should I apply ( plated ) INTENSE Serum?

Apply INTENSE Serum 1 to 2 times per day on a dry face right after cleansing. Wait 5 minutes to allow the platelet-derived exosomes to get to work before layering any other products. With millions of exosomes per pump, one pump per application is all you need.

Do I use ( plated ) INTENSE and DAILY Serum at the same time?

Depending on your individual skin goals and your aesthetic provider's guidance, INTENSE Serum and DAILY Serum can be used as part of the same anti-aging regimen. Start your morning with DAILY Serum, drenching skin in hydration while supporting your barrier and bringing out a healthy, lit-from-within glow. At night, switch to INTENSE Serum, working in sync with your skin's natural renewal cycle to visibly smooth, refine, and restore while you sleep.

Can you use the ( plated ) INTENSE Serum with other products like retinol or vitamin C?

Yes! In fact, according to a top dermatologist-researcher, ( plated ) may increase the efficiency of your other favorite skincare ingredients like vitamin C and retinol.

For best results, always apply ( plated ) serums first to clean, product-free skin. And let it sit for 5 minutes before applying other products. The platelet-derived exosomes in our Renewosome® technology work most effectively when they have direct access to your skin. Once you've waited, feel free to layer on any other products, such as ( plated ) EYE Serum, retinol, retinoid, vitamin C, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc.

Does ( plated ) INTENSE Serum cause sun sensitivity?

No. Our INTENSE Serum will not cause sun sensitivity. You can apply it in the morning or at night as you wish. In fact, the platelet-derived exosomes that power Renewosome® technology have been shown to help deliver advanced environmental protection against oxidative damage from UVA/UVB rays, pollution, and more. Of course, we still recommend you use your favorite daily SPF.

After a skin procedure such as laser treatment, microneedling, or chemical peel, is it best to transition to ( plated ) INTENSE Serum after using ( plated ) CALM Serum?

You may choose to stick to CALM Serum or transition to INTENSE Serum (maximum exosome concentration for mature or stressed skin) or DAILY Serum (renewing support for a youthful glow). Your provider can help you select the best choice for your skin goals.

What makes ( plated ) INTENSE Serum worth the investment?

( plated ) Skin Science is the #1 dermatologist-recommended exosome brand for a reason: the science is backed by 10+ gold-standard clinical studies that show one thing: platelet-derived exosomes lead to visible transformation. As our most advanced exosome serum, INTENSE Serum delivers the most cutting-edge exosome science and technology to your skincare routine.

Developed by Mayo Clinic physician-scientists over 20+ years, ( plated ) serums represent a true breakthrough for aging skin. They harness the power of platelet-derived exosomes and their remarkable cargo to visibly renew the skin while remaining soothing and gentle. So many serums are only as good as the next cleanse.

Don't forget, a little serum (just one pump) goes a long way. With millions of exosomes per pump, one pump per application is all you need. One bottle of INTENSE Serum contains approximately 64 pumps. That's over two months of use. An investment, for sure. Clinical studies show a compounding effect; the longer you use INTENSE Serum, the more your results build. Think of it like a long-term investment for your skin, where every application adds up over time.

An investment for sure, but worth it? Definitely! You'll see these results for years to come.
