( plated )™ Skin Science INTENSE Serum
( plated )™ Skin Science INTENSE Serum is the most concentrated formula in the plated lineup — a clinical-grade regenerative serum powered by Renewosome™ technology that works at the cellular level to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of firmness. Each pump delivers over 15 billion platelet-derived exosomes that function as molecular messengers, activating the skin's natural repair pathways to accelerate renewal from the inside out. It is the highest-performing option in the (plated)™ range and the formula of choice for those who want measurable, visible results.
Key Benefits
Renewosome™ Exosome Technology — delivers over 15 billion platelet-derived exosomes per pump to stimulate cellular communication and activate the skin's natural regeneration pathways for accelerated, visible renewal.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles — exosome signaling encourages skin cells to repair and rebuild structural proteins, visibly smoothing expression lines and deep wrinkles with consistent daily use.
Improves Tone and Hyperpigmentation — supports healthy cellular turnover and reduces oxidative stress to diminish dark spots, post-inflammatory discoloration, and uneven tone over time.
Firms and Restores Elasticity — promotes the production of structural proteins that give skin its bounce and resilience, visibly improving firmness and the appearance of lifted, more youthful skin.
Reduces Inflammation and Redness — platelet-derived exosomes act as molecular first responders that calm active inflammation and visibly reduce redness associated with oxidative stress and skin aging.
Antioxidant Defense — neutralizes environmental and oxidative stressors that are among the primary drivers of accelerated cellular aging, dullness, and compromised skin health.
INTENSE Serum is designed for anyone with more advanced or persistent skin concerns who wants the most concentrated regenerative formula available. If fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or loss of firmness are your primary concerns, this is the formula built specifically for you. It is the flagship product in the (plated)™ lineup, delivering over 15 billion platelet-derived exosomes per pump for accelerated, visible results that conventional serums cannot match.
It is equally well suited for anyone who wants a high-performance daily serum backed by clinical-grade biotechnology rather than conventional skincare ingredients. Whether you are in your late 30s and noticing the earliest signs of aging or navigating more significant skin changes later in life, INTENSE Serum meets you where your skin is and works at the cellular level to address aging at the source.
It is also the right choice for those who have used skincare consistently without achieving the visible results they were expecting. Because Renewosome™ technology targets cellular regeneration rather than the surface, it is a meaningful upgrade for skin that has plateaued with conventional serums and treatments and is ready for a genuinely different approach.
The highest exosome concentration in the lineup makes INTENSE the go-to formula when results matter most. Pair it with an enzyme exfoliant at least three times per week to clear dead skin cells and open the surface for deeper absorption — the difference in how quickly visible results appear is significant. INTENSE can also be used as a dedicated six-week intensive protocol before transitioning to (plated)™ DAILY Serum for long-term maintenance, which is an approach we recommend for clients tackling more established skin concerns.
Prepare: Start with clean, dry skin. Cleanse, tone, and ensure your face is completely dry before applying to maximize serum absorption.
Apply: Dispense 1 pump into your palm and apply evenly across the full face. For neck and chest coverage, dispense an additional pump and smooth downward.
Technique: Press and pat the serum into the skin rather than rubbing. Avoid the eye area. Allow to fully absorb before layering additional products.
Frequency: Use once or twice daily as the very first active step in your skincare routine. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF. Each bottle provides approximately 64 pumps.
NOTE: When replacing the refill, don't lose the silver ring. Watch this video learn how to properly use the refill.
- Platelet-Derived Exosomes: Utilizing the power of the body’s natural first responders, these exosomes deliver targeted peptides and antioxidants directly to the site of need for the ultimate skin renewal. They play a pivotal role in the skin’s natural regeneration process, improving tone, texture, firmness, and elasticity for a healthier, more youthful complexion.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): A powerful natural moisturizer, healer, and protector that rebuilds the barrier and acts as a shield against irritation.
- Glycerin: Provides long-lasting, intense moisture retention.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Naturally occurring in the skin, provides intense hydration and plumps and improves skin barrier function by attracting and retaining moisture.
- Arginine: An essential amino acid that supports collagen production and skin repair. Arginine helps improve firmness and elasticity while boosting hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.

What are platelet-derived exosomes and how do they work?
Exosomes are naturally occurring nano-sized vesicles that act as molecular messengers between cells. (plated)™ Renewosome™ technology harnesses platelet-derived exosomes to deliver targeted peptides, growth factors, and antioxidants directly into the skin — activating the body's natural regeneration pathways to repair, renew, and restore a more youthful complexion.
How is INTENSE Serum different from DAILY Serum?
INTENSE Serum contains the highest concentration of Renewosome™ exosomes in the (plated)™ lineup — delivering over 15 billion exosomes per pump compared to 7.5 billion in the DAILY formula. It is designed for those targeting more advanced aging concerns or who want the fastest possible regenerative results. DAILY Serum is a hydrating daily-maintenance formula ideal for sustaining results long term.
How long does it take to see results?
Most users begin to see visible improvements in tone, texture, and radiance within four to six weeks of consistent daily use. For best results, use daily and incorporate regular enzyme exfoliation to maximize serum absorption and accelerate cellular turnover.
Can I use INTENSE Serum with retinol or other active ingredients?
Yes. INTENSE Serum is safe to use alongside retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, and other active ingredients. Apply INTENSE as the very first step after cleansing and toning — before any other serums, treatments, or moisturizers — to ensure the exosomes reach fresh skin for maximum effectiveness.
Is INTENSE Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is free of known irritants and has been developed to be well-tolerated across skin types. If you have highly reactive skin, introduce the product once daily and monitor your skin's response before increasing to twice daily use.
How many pumps are in a bottle and how long will it last?
Each 0.5 oz bottle contains approximately 64 pumps. Using 1 to 2 pumps per application, a single bottle typically lasts four to six weeks with twice-daily use.

This product did fade some dark spots after several weeks , without irritating my very reactive skin but another less expensive product might be just as effective. I would rate this effective, but expensive .

I've only been using the product for a few weeks but I'm already starting to notice a difference in my overall skin tone and texture. I will be keeping this in my routine.

I started using plated a few months back.. typically I give something like this a fair 3 month trial. So far, I believe that this product lives up to its claims.. I wish I would have taken pics to document the progress. I do believe that it slows down the need for Botox as well. My skin is in good shape but I do believe that it’s because of overall good habits…. No alcohol, sleep, hydration, supplements and quality skincare. Nothing is a HG in a bottle if you don’t care of yourself.

I love this serum. My skin texture and tone has improved, however it’s just sooo pricy. I will probably take a break after this bottle and move to the daily. I do really like it though!
