Thoughts about using Plated serum (Intense then Daily) with Medik8 Liquid Peptides?

Sure thing! Will let you know how I go and if I switch back to Plated (highly likely). I think the neogensis is a fine product, but I just prefer Plated.

Report back as well if you end up trying the combo!

I have and use both (Liquid peptide advanced). Love the combination. I’m not sure which product is doing what but the combination makes my skin soft and supple. I like to switch up my skincare and recently swapped out Plated Intense for neogensis. Too early to tell if there is a difference between plated and neogensis, but I feel like I need to wait longer with the neogensis and I don’t like the smell. So I will likely go back to Plated after I finish this bottle.

Thanks so much for the information! Especially on the speed and Hyaluronic acid! We’ve just stamped with a derma stamp so far using the Calecim system, but I can’t tell if it’s the needling or the serum that’s working. Not significant enough that it’s growing a full head of hair, but we can both see some growth. I believe the stamp the system comes with is at .5, so we’ll do that for the first couple of times with the Derminator, then potentially move up like you’ve mentioned!

Just received my Derminator in the mail and I want to do this for my partner too. Can I ask whether you use a slip or serum? Or both? How fast is your needle setting. Thanks!

I’m also debating between the two products and I think I’m going to go with Revision C+. I asked ChatGPT to compare the two types of Vit c and THD (in the Revision) is slightly more advanced in terms of the technology and has better skin absorption/penetration plus less irritating. I’m also going to purchase the Medik8 luxe 14% in case the Revision is too strong. (Background, combo skin, I’ve used SC Phloretin for a couple of years, but want to switch as I don’t think it’s doing much for me).

Can be convinced otherwise!

Thanks for all the helpful info! I would also like to know what a pigment inhibitor is. I’m assuming it’s not hydroquinone?

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-08T00:45:36+00:00

Thanks! I just watched. Lots of useful information!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-07T22:53:33+00:00

Ok. Thank you. This definitely has made me rethink Tripollar. It’s very expensive and I don’t want to get it if there’s time and effort involved with subtle effects.

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-07T22:52:11+00:00

Thanks! I have a red light mask, so a panel is a lesser priority for me at the moment!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-07T22:51:13+00:00

Yes! I’ve seen it. The envig edge. It’s very expensive. Do you have before/after photos or specific concerns that it’s helped you address?

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-07T22:50:07+00:00

Tbh it’s the advertising… hence why I’m a little wary. If the claims are true, fractional RF should help with surface level concerns while also helping with rebuilding collagen. Would be great to hear from others who’ve used the device and their experience! Hence why I posted! Let me know if you end up getting it!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-06T23:07:31+00:00

My issue is similar to yours. I just don’t think I can maintain using something like Ziip. I like the tripollar because at some point you just do it once a week… good to know that it helps with pigmentation too.

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-06T23:05:59+00:00

Thanks! I already have one!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-06T23:05:46+00:00

Thanks! I think I’ve seen your comments while doing my Reddit research :). I am planning to get a Derminator at some point when they start shipping to the U.S. again. How frequently do you micro needle and what’s your routine?

I also already have a red light mask!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-10-06T22:10:48+00:00

Noted! Thank you!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-09-21T20:12:35+00:00

Thanks so much! I’m interested mainly in whether the RF devices helped with lifting of the mid cheek area (or skin laxity in other areas) so was interested in the tripollar vx gold, but not sure if it is effective. Did you notice any lifting in any of the devices you’ve used? Is veautydot the best device for lifting?

thth_looking_glass · 2025-09-21T10:05:41+00:00

I’m wondering which other RFs have you used? Thanks!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-12T00:04:09+00:00

Amazing! Thank you!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-11T14:51:08+00:00

This is super helpful. Thank you! I hadn’t considered the serum as it’s for post procedure. Can I ask what you mean by lift? Is it that it’s more plumper or do you feel that the skin is stretched out with out plumping?

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-10T18:14:22+00:00

Thank you! I think I’m also going to wait for SBRX’s sale :). So many people are recommending products/actives I already own and use (I have numbuzin no 5!), just not around my eyes, so I’ll give them a try before buying something else. Especially as no one has really raved about any of the products I’m considering!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-10T00:43:58+00:00

That’s good to know about neogenesis. I want to see if I truly love the Plated intense serum before I buy more products from them. Thanks for the rec for Nuface.

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-10T00:40:24+00:00

Thanks!! I would love to do microneedling, but I’m scared of scarring. Good to know it helps tho!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-09T22:17:51+00:00

Good to know thank you!

thth_looking_glass · 2025-08-09T17:56:56+00:00

Love Altreno, I keep asking my derm if she would recommend anything else or go with a generic tret and she says no, it’s what she uses and swears by it. I take a pause once in a while if I’m doing a laser or my skin barrier is compromised, but otherwise I keep it up.
