Intense Serum

INTENSE Serum is the most concentrated exosome serum from ( plated ) Skin Science. It's an anti-aging serum designed to take on several visible signs of aging at once: fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, uneven tone and dullness. A single pump goes on as the first step after cleansing, so it fits into the routine you already have.

The formula is built on ( plated )'s Renewosome® technology, which uses platelet-derived exosomes. These are tiny vesicles that the brand describes as helping skin tap into its own ability to renew, visibly rewinding the look of damaged, aging skin. Low-weight hyaluronic acid adds hydration and, according to ( plated ), supports how well the exosomes work.

In ( plated )'s clinical testing, users saw a 26% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and a 25% reduction in the appearance of dark spots, and 94% said their skin looked healthier. The brand reports visible results in about six weeks, and results build with consistent use.

INTENSE Serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It's non-comedogenic and doesn't cause sun sensitivity, so you can use it morning or night alongside retinol and vitamin C.

Why We Chose It

At Crafted Beauty, we look for formulas built on a clear idea, with a short, purposeful ingredient list. INTENSE Serum stood out because the whole formula centers on one technology, platelet-derived exosomes, supported by hyaluronic acid rather than a long list of extras. It's also gentle enough for sensitive skin. It's a thoughtful choice if you want one concentrated step for visible signs of aging that works with the retinol or vitamin C you already use.
