    Clearer, brighter, younger-looking skin!

    I love this product and never want to be without it. I find it soothes, smooths and brightens my skin, making it look younger. I layer it under my moisturizer every evening.

    The BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE serum I have ever used.

    I have used a variety of serums in the past, and none of them provided the great results I am experiencing with Plated Intense Serum. My complexion looks the absolute best it ever has.

    I like the refill option as it is more environmentally friendly, and easy to use.

    Miracle worker

    This serum is a miracle worker for specific areas or for all over your face and neck. So many have commented on how my skin looks so smooth and wrinkle free. I would highly recommend! It is worth the price!

    superior

    I have tried La Mer, Shiseido Clinique etc with minimal change. I started plated six months ago and have noticed decrease and disappearance of fine lines, plumper skin and people actually noticing my face. My girlfriends tell me how great my skin looks, which I never heard when I was using the above products. I am definitely a super fan and highly recommend plated

    Intense serum did not disappoint

    When I first thought about purchasing this serum, I thought I'd spend a lot more money on a serum than I usually do for skin care. Even though I contemplated it at first, I am so happy I went through with the purchase that I will make sure to keep using this product as part of my regular skin care routine. This product has truly elevated my skin, which is sensitive and prone to redness and texture due to my rosacea. The price point is different, but the results are as well, and for that it is 100% worth it.

INTENSE Serum

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the ( plated ) INTENSE Serum?

In just weeks, the clinically proven, INTENSE Serum targets the visible signs of aging with results you can see!

INTENSE Serum is our most concentrated anti-aging exosome serum, formulated specifically to improve the appearance of the most challenging skin needs, such as fine lines, wrinkles, redness, brown spots, and tone, as well as texture.
How often should I apply the INTENSE Serum?

Apply INTENSE Serum 1 to 2 times per day on a dry face right after cleansing. Allow the product to dry completely (approximately 5 minutes) before layering other products.

With millions of exosomes per pump, one pump per application is all you need.
Do I use the INTENSE and DAILY Serum at the same time?

Depending on your individual skin goals and the guidance of your aesthetic provider, the recommended approach is to begin with the INTENSE Serum for 6-12 weeks to support visible renewal. After completing this initial phase, many people transition to the DAILY Serum to help maintain results and support ongoing skin maintenance.
Can you use the INTENSE Serum with other products like retinol or vitamin C?

Yes! 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 exosomes in our Renewosome® technology work most effectively when they have direct access to your skin. Once the INTENSE Serum has dried, you'll know it has absorbed, and you can feel free to layer on any other products, such as ( plated ) EYE Serum, retinol, retinoid, vitamin C, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc.
What makes ( plated ) INTENSE Serum worth the investment?

Backed by clinically proven results and recommended by top aestheticians, injectors, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons, ( plated ) delivers the most cutting-edge science and technology to your skincare routine.

The science behind ( plated ) serums was carefully researched and curated over more than 15 years to bring the power of platelet-derived exosomes, their remarkable cargo, and renewing power into a powerful serum while also being soothing and gentle.

Our serums truly have the impact and action of multiple products in one! ( plated ) offers the power of platelet-derived exosomes, antioxidants, peptides, amino acids, collagen, and hyaluronic acid (a powerhouse serum that replaces many steps).

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. But, worth it!? Definitely! Because you're worth the investment!
