    A Truly Impressive Serum

    I’ve had such a positive experience with Plated INTENSE Serum! My skin feels noticeably more hydrated, the texture is smoother, and I’ve seen a reduction in inflammation. My complexion looks and feels healthier overall, and I love how my skin has responded to incorporating this into my routine. It’s become a product I genuinely look forward to using, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin’s hydration, texture, and overall appearance.

    Game changer…

    I have been using Plated Intense serum for the past year and have noticed improved skin texture and skin tone. I use it in the evening after applying my retinol, the two products work beautifully together.

    Using is it for my scar

    A game-changer for Tretinoin users!

    The absolute biggest benefit Plated Intense has given me is the ability to finally tolerate Tretinoin. Before using this serum, I could only apply Tretinoin twice a week because my skin would get extremely tight, dry, and flaky. Since adding Plated to my routine, I can now use Tretinoin every single day! My skin feels incredibly hydrated, has a beautiful glow, and I experience zero negative side effects from the Tretinoin. It is worth every single penny.

    Phenomenal glow

    I've been primarily using prescription tretinoin the last 3 decades, and not only was this a nice break, but my skin radiates and the fine lines and aging spots are disappearing faster than I ever thought - I definitely will continue rotating this with my prescription products.

INTENSE Serum

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?

Once or twice daily, begin your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser. Then, if desired, sweep a ( plated ) pad across your face and neck. Do not rinse. Follow immediately with your ( plated ) serum. Allow 5 minutes before layering other products. With consistent use, results amplify over time. 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.
