PLATED - Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads

( plated )® Skin Science Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads are an innovative daily skin-preparation treatment designed to gently exfoliate, refine texture, support the moisture barrier, and prepare the complexion for the skincare products that follow.

Created as the ideal companion to ( plated ) INTENSE Serum and DAILY Serum, these pre-saturated cotton pads combine polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), gentle exfoliating enzymes, niacinamide, fermented ingredients, ectoin, and beta-glucan to help reveal smoother, more balanced, hydrated, and radiant-looking skin.

Unlike traditional exfoliating pads that rely on aggressive acids or abrasive resurfacing, Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads take a more considered approach to skin renewal.

The formula combines Gluconolactone and Maltobionic Acid, two polyhydroxy acids recognized for their gentle exfoliating and moisture-supporting properties, with Pumpkin Ferment, Bromelain, and Papain to help remove accumulated dead surface skin cells.

At the same time, Niacinamide, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Ectoin, and Beta-Glucan help maintain hydration, support the skin's protective barrier, and promote a healthier-looking complexion.

These pads are designed to accomplish more than exfoliation alone.

They help remove residual cleanser and impurities, maintain the skin's naturally acidic pH environment, and create a clean, smooth surface before the application of ( plated ) exosome serums.

With a targeted skin pH range of 4.5–5.5, the formula supports the skin's natural acid mantle while helping improve the appearance of texture and dullness.

The result is a simple but sophisticated preparation step that helps skin look smoother, fresher, more refined, hydrated, and ready for the next step in your skincare routine.

Professional Insight

One of the most overlooked steps in an effective skincare routine is preparing the skin properly before applying treatment serums.

Many clients invest in sophisticated skincare products but give relatively little consideration to what happens between cleansing and serum application.

That's what makes Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads particularly interesting.

Rather than introducing another traditional toner or aggressive exfoliating treatment, ( plated ) developed a preparation step specifically intended to complement its exosome skincare.

The formula focuses on three important aspects of skin preparation:

Gentle surface renewal.

Moisture barrier support.

Maintaining a balanced skin environment.

These considerations are especially relevant when using advanced treatment serums.

The goal isn't to aggressively strip away surface cells or create excessive exfoliation.

It's to help maintain a clean, smooth, comfortable skin surface while supporting the barrier.

For clients already using ( plated ) INTENSE or DAILY Serum, these pads offer a convenient way to create a more complete brand-specific skincare routine.

Why Skin Preparation Matters

The skin's outermost layer, known as the stratum corneum, plays an essential role in protecting the body and regulating moisture loss.

It consists of skin cells embedded within a lipid-rich protective structure.

As part of the skin's natural renewal cycle, surface cells are continually shed and replaced.

However, accumulated dead surface cells can contribute to:

Dullness.

Rough texture.

Uneven-looking skin.

A less refined complexion.

Gentle exfoliation helps remove this buildup and improve the appearance of the skin's surface.

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads combine PHAs and enzymes to provide this benefit while incorporating ingredients intended to maintain hydration and barrier function.

This is particularly important because excessive exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier and contribute to irritation.

The objective is controlled, comfortable surface renewal—not aggressive peeling.

What Makes These Different From Traditional Exfoliating Pads?

Many conventional exfoliating pads focus primarily on resurfacing.

Some use relatively strong concentrations of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or other exfoliating ingredients.

Those formulas can be beneficial when appropriate for the skin, but they are not always ideal for every individual or every routine.

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads take a different approach.

They combine:

Gluconolactone — PHA exfoliation.

Maltobionic Acid — gentle exfoliation and hydration.

Pumpkin Ferment — enzymatic surface renewal.

Bromelain — pineapple-derived enzyme.

Papain — papaya-derived enzyme.

This multi-ingredient approach provides complementary pathways for removing accumulated surface cells.

At the same time, the formula includes Niacinamide, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Ectoin, and Beta-Glucan to help support hydration and barrier comfort.

The result is a product positioned as a skin-preparation treatment rather than an intensive resurfacing peel.

Why Skin pH Matters

Healthy skin naturally maintains a slightly acidic surface environment, commonly referred to as the acid mantle.

This environment helps support normal barrier function and the skin's resident microbiome.

Cleansing products, environmental factors, and other skincare ingredients can temporarily influence surface pH.

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads are designed to help maintain skin pH within the range of 4.5–5.5.

This is important because maintaining a balanced skin environment supports normal barrier function.

Rather than focusing exclusively on exfoliation, the formula combines surface renewal with pH and barrier support.

The Role of PHAs in Gentle Exfoliation

Polyhydroxy acids, or PHAs, are a category of exfoliating acids recognized for their ability to improve the appearance of rough texture while providing moisture-supporting benefits.

Two PHAs featured in this formula are:

Gluconolactone.

Maltobionic Acid.

Compared with some stronger alpha hydroxy acid treatments, PHAs are generally associated with gentler exfoliation.

They help loosen accumulated dead surface cells while also functioning as moisture-supporting ingredients.

This combination makes them particularly appealing in a product designed for frequent use.

However, even gentle exfoliating acids can cause irritation in some individuals, particularly when combined with other active treatments.

Why Enzymes Complement PHAs

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads combine chemical exfoliation with enzyme-based surface renewal.

Bromelain and Papain are proteolytic enzymes that help break down proteins associated with dead surface skin cells.

Pumpkin Ferment provides an additional fermented botanical component associated with gentle surface renewal.

Together, these ingredients help improve the appearance of skin texture without requiring physical scrubbing.

This is an important distinction for clients who prefer to avoid abrasive exfoliating particles.

The pad itself is made from soft cotton with a gently perforated texture, allowing it to sweep away residual impurities while delivering the formula.

Use light pressure rather than scrubbing.

Barrier Support Is Just as Important as Exfoliation

One of the most thoughtful aspects of this formula is the inclusion of ingredients intended to support the moisture barrier.

Niacinamide helps maintain barrier function and a more even-looking complexion.

Bifida Ferment Lysate provides skin-conditioning support.

Ectoin helps maintain hydration and protect against environmental stress.

Beta-Glucan provides moisturizing and soothing benefits.

These ingredients help balance the exfoliating activity of the PHAs and enzymes.

For clients using advanced skincare treatments, maintaining a healthy barrier is essential.

A compromised barrier can contribute to dryness, irritation, sensitivity, and reduced comfort.

The objective is to support consistent skincare use while avoiding unnecessary stress on the skin.

Designed to Complement ( plated ) Exosome Serums

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads were developed specifically to complement the brand's two facial exosome serums.

( plated ) INTENSE Serum

INTENSE Serum is the brand's more concentrated exosome treatment, designed to address multiple visible signs of aging and support healthier-looking skin.

Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads provide a complementary preparation step before applying INTENSE.

( plated ) DAILY Serum

DAILY Serum is designed for ongoing skin maintenance and daily support.

The prep pads fit naturally into a DAILY Serum regimen by providing gentle exfoliation and barrier-supporting benefits before serum application.

Important distinction: Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads do not themselves contain platelet-derived exosomes. Their purpose is to prepare the skin for subsequent application of exosome-containing products.

Although the manufacturer positions them as an enhancement to exosome skincare, the availability of the pads does not by itself establish that they increase exosome penetration or produce superior clinical outcomes compared with using the serums alone.

A More Complete ( plated ) Skincare Routine

For clients already using the brand, Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads offer an additional way to organize a simple but sophisticated regimen.

Step 1 — Cleanse

Remove makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily impurities using an appropriate facial cleanser.

Step 2 — Prepare

Sweep Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pad gently across the face.

The formula helps remove residual cleanser and surface impurities while supporting gentle exfoliation.

Step 3 — Apply Exosome Serum

Follow immediately with ( plated ) INTENSE Serum or DAILY Serum.

Step 4 — Moisturize

Apply a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type.

Step 5 — Protect

During the day, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

This streamlined approach combines cleansing, gentle surface renewal, advanced serum application, hydration, and environmental protection.

Who Should Be Cautious?

Although the manufacturer positions these pads as suitable for all skin types, individual tolerance varies.

Use additional caution if you:

• Have an actively compromised or irritated skin barrier

• Are currently using multiple strong exfoliating acids

• Are beginning a prescription retinoid

• Have recently undergone a professional resurfacing procedure

• Have known sensitivities to pineapple, papaya, or enzyme-based exfoliants

• Experience persistent burning, stinging, or irritation with exfoliating products

After microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or other procedures, follow your treating professional's instructions before resuming exfoliation.

Professional Recommendation

We particularly recommend ( plated )® Skin Science Exosome Enhancer™ Daily Prep Pads for clients who already use INTENSE Serum or DAILY Serum and want a gentle, convenient preparation step designed specifically for those products.

They're also appealing for individuals who want to improve the appearance of rough texture and dullness without introducing an aggressive exfoliating treatment.

The combination of PHAs, enzymes, Niacinamide, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Ectoin, and Beta-Glucan makes this a thoughtfully formulated approach to surface renewal and barrier support.

For clients new to exfoliation or those with sensitive skin, introduce the pads gradually and increase frequency as tolerated.

The goal is a smoother, more balanced complexion—not excessive exfoliation.
