(plated) Skin Science INTENSE Serum
No. 12 in Edit 046

(plated) Skin Science INTENSE Serum

Serums USA Approx. $258

The full-face version of the eye serum above, at two hundred and fifty eight dollars. There is a refill at fourteen dollars less, which is not much of a saving and is worth knowing about anyway. Same position as the eye serum: we name the technology the brand names and we do not tell you what it does. The published list is shorter than the eye serum's, twelve lines of human platelet extract, hyaluronic acid, panthenol and glycols, with none of the peptides the eye version carries. If you want to try (plated) and you are not sure, start with the eye one.

Our verdict on the (plated) Skin Science INTENSE Serum

A shorter list than the eye serum, and a hundred and twenty dollars more.
