    Truly in a class by itself

    Plated Intense is, without question, the most extraordinary home-use product I have ever used.

    Not only has it noticeably diminished mild perioral lines, but, to my great surprise, it filled in two small places where I had mild depressed (or atrophic) scarring from earlier acne.

    Also, my complexion looks smoother overall.

    I use the Intense Serum continually, because the Maintenance Serum is moisturizing and I break out from ALL moisturizers.

    This product makes meaningful and substantial changes that one might expect from an in-office treatment, but not something for home use.

    I do have to say that I have two little areas of sun damage (hyperpigmentation) and it hasn't done anything for them.

    However, as I said in the title of my review, there is no serum on the market that is in anyway comparable to Plated Intense!

    Holy Grail Serum

    I've been using Intense Plated Serum for over a year. It was recommended by my doctor after CO 2 laser treatment. It has since become the one skincare product I simply won't be without. Within a couple of weeks my skin looked brighter, clearer, smoother and had a "lit-from-within" glow that I'd been missing. The texture improved dramatically.

    This product has replaced almost everything else I had used with the exception of Tretenoin and a high-quality vitamin C serum. The serum itself is weightless, fragrance free and absorbs beautifully. It leaves my skin feeling perfectly balanced without any heaviness or irritation. It truly is worth every penny. Try one bottle, I think you'll be thrilled! Real, VISIBLE results!

    A skincare product that actually does what it says

    I started using the Intense Serum two months ago at the recommendation of my dermatologist. I have used other similar products in the past -- some highly recommended -- but I found most of them disappointing. Little clarity, no visible toning, same red patches.

    With Intense Serum, everything has changed visibly and quickly. I highly recommend it.

    And the Refill is great. So easy to use and friendly on the landscape.

    Amazing Serum

    I have tried many expensive serums that have made a lot of promises, but none have been as effective as I he plated intense serum. Some of the improvements I noticed were more gluey skin, softened wrinkles and less discoloration. I have also tried the plate eye serum and feel that it could truly replace the need for Botox around my eyes. These are great product that are worth the cost. You truly get what you pay for!

    Fine Lines

    I get asked repeatedly what I’m doing to my skin, and the only thing I’m using is Plated. I share the love and always send the Plated link. My dermatologist recommended Plated to be, and I’m so glad so did.

    Love it!!

    But I’m saving the Intense for after my various procedures. I purchased the Daily Serum for day to day use. I’ve noticed my skin is smoother & much more hydrated. The eye serum is amazing too!!

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, tone, and 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!
