An ELLE editor says: “I’ve been using Plated Intense serum for about 3 weeks now. While it may be too soon to give true results, one thing I have noticed is that I may go to bed with redness from a pimple, but when I wake up, the redness is gone. One thing to note is that you must regularly exfoliate with this product due to the rapid cell turnover. I’ve noticed my skin looking duller since beginning the product—a key warning sign to exfoliate. So make sure to include exfoliation with this skin care routine.” —Danielle James, digital beauty director
