Is ( plated ) Skin Science really worth it? We hear this question a lot, and we appreciate it. It's a company ethos of both ( plated ) and our parent company to democratize access to our technology and keep prices as accessible as possible. That being said, making a product that is truly regenerative skincare, one that actually renews the appearance of your skin, is a heavy lift.
Concentrated Formulas.
No Fairy Dusting.
First, we never participate in "fairy dusting." In the beauty industry, "fairy dusting" is known as the practice of putting just enough of an ingredient into a formula to claim it, without it ever reaching a threshold that causes real, visible change.
Whether we are talking about ingredients in our base formula like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or our star ingredient HPE, we reach for the stars. That is how our formulas have so few ingredients. They are simple, potent, and elegantly formulated to make a real impact on the appearance of your skin. No fillers, dyes, or fragrances are used. In fact, our main SKUs achieve a perfect score on many clean ingredient apps and sites.
The Power of Platelet-Derived Exosomes
Second, our star ingredient, platelet-derived exosomes, is a human-derived ingredient, a fact we are both proud of and take very seriously. We require extremely rigorous sourcing standards and testing protocols to ensure every bottle is of the highest possible quality.
In fact, before our technology was ever brought to market, it took over $150 million in research and more than two decades to develop, refine, and bottle. And we aren't done. We continue to test, research, learn, and hone this unique technology to bring you better outcomes, better formulations, and outstanding results.
Invest in Your Skin's Future
Finally, it's a little-known fact that when you invest in ( plated ), you aren't just investing in beauty and the longevity of a youthful appearance; you are contributing to the advancement of science that impacts many fields. Purchasing ( plated ) helps support research in areas like wound healing, orthopedics, and regenerative medicine, all of which are being pioneered by our parent company.
So when we're asked why our products are priced at a premium, the answer is simple: they're built with uncompromising excellence, grounded in extraordinary technology, and designed to advance science in ways that reach far beyond skincare.
