One of my favorite things about testing beauty products is getting to try new brands I never heard of or ones I would have never thought of trying. Beverly Hills MD is a skincare line created by two cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills. They wanted a high quality, non-irritating line that gives results. They even offer a 60 day money back guarantee. So if the product doesn't meet or exceed your expectations they'll give you a full refund. Beverly Hills MD also donates a portion of their proceeds to Smile Train an international charity that free cleft surgery and palate surgeries to kids in need. The range has a minimal chic aesthetic (which I always love) with white glass packaging on the serums and exfoliant. Now onto the products I tested.

So this is a hydrating sheet mask. I really loved the serum in this mask. It was hydrating and plumping. It's a paper mask and I'm not a big fan of paper, or sheet masks in general to be honest. They never fit my face right. I do however love a biocellulose sheet mask as they usually fit really well. If this was a biocellulose mask I would be all about repurchasing this one.

Ingredients
Alumina, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Aspalathus Linearis (Red Tea) Leaf Extract, Eriobotrya Japonica (Loquat) Fruit/Leaf Extract, Ilex Paraguariensis (Paraguay Tea) Leaf Extract, Pilocarpus Pennatifolius (Jaborandi) Leaf Extract, Hexylene Glycol, Capryl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citric Acid, Fragrance (Parfum).
This is a physical exfoliant. It has a white grainy texture that's not like a dry powder, it's slightly damp so the granules stick together when you scoop it out. It's a unique and interesting texture. In addition to the physical exfoliant part this uses AHAs to help chemically exfoliate as well. The grains are very fine like a really fine sand. It feels like microdermabrasion. I have a really hard time with physical exfoliants as my skin doesn't like it. I'm a chemical or acid exfoliant girl all the way. I found this a little too harsh for my skin but anyone who loves microdermabrasion will love it because it's really fine and gives a similar feel.
Beverly Hills MD Rose Stem Cell Daily Cleanser uses the power of the rose flower stem cells and antioxidants to revitalize while gently removing dirt and buildup on the skin’s surface.

- Sloughs away dead skin cells for a smooth, youthful finish

- Provides antioxidant protection to help skin resist aging
Key Ingredients:
- Rose Stem Cells The Swiss Alpine Rose grows in some of the harshest conditions on the planet — making its stem cells ideal for helping protect skin from daily damage.
- Hyaluronic Acid This “moisture molecule” helps skin retain its own natural hydration — to help moisturize skin while you cleanse.

This is a hydrating gentle gel cleanser. It's nice with gentle surfactants. It always left my skin clean and never dry or feeling stripped. I liked this as a morning or in-shower cleanser. This has multiple soothing and hydrating rose extracts including Swiss Alpine Rose. This cleanser has aloe, sodium hyaluronate and a few fruit extracts like pomegranate & strawberry. I'm always saying strawberry needs to be in more skincare products. So if you love rose and want a gentle gel cleanser with a hint of fruit acids you'll like this one.

This has a creamy white texture and color. It's hydrating and refreshing but not heavy. I used this in my routine every morning until it was gone. I'm always interesting in the idea of anti-glycation skincare. Glycation starts with your body which converts what you eat into sugar for fuel and storage. Glycation is when the glucose molecules start latching onto the protein molecules in your skin. Glycation has end products that can weaken the skins proteins resulting in sagging plus increase inflammation. Inflammation lets signs of aging happen faster. Think wrinkles, discoloration and dullness.
It's hard to sit there and judge whether or not a product like this works in the short term because what you're really doing with this is preventing future aging like sunscreen or an antioxidant serum. It's not an instant result kind of product like vitamin c, AHA serums and peptides. I did feel this obviously was soothing and hydrating but at the end of the bottle my skin felt healthier. That was the main effect I saw from this serum. This was by far my favorite product from the line and if you try one thing from Beverly Hills MD grab this one. I need more--In a larger bottle & with a pump preferably. This one does have a dropper dispenser and I'm not a dropper fan.
This powerful anti-aging formula helps to dramatically reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines, while promoting collagen production and cell turnover for smoother, younger-looking skin.
- Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces facial muscle cell contractions to target deep expression lines
- Boosts collagen levels to increase skin elasticity
- Gives skin a tighter, firmer look
- Deeply hydrates skin
Directions Can be applied up to twice daily. For best results, a nighttime application is recommended, as skin’s regenerating processes are at their most efficient during sleep.
Key Ingredients:
- SYN®-AKE inhibits muscle contractions to reduce the appearance of expression lines
- Palmitoyl Peptides stimulate collagen production for younger, plumper-looking skin
- Extracts from the Ginkgo Biloba Tree help delay aging with antioxidant protection
- Aloe Leaf Extract helps give skin a firmer look and feel while moisturizing deeply
Ingredients
Water, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Polysorbate 60, C12-C15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Polyethylacrylate, Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Alanine, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Aminomethyl Propanol, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, PCA, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Valine, Fragrance (Parfum).
This is the peptide anti-aging serum of the line. It's got a hydrating milky appearance as well. This has a pump dispenser so that was perfect. I used this at night in my routine until it was empty. It lasted quite a long time. It took me a good two months almost closer to three to empty it. You'll notice the peptides are high in the inci list: Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine (Synthetic tetrapeptide. Stimulates protein and collagen production that in short help maintain the structure of the dermis/epidermis), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Firming), Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate (Syn-Hycan. Boosts production of hyauronan or HA. HA levels decrease as we age. It also boosts collagen fiber production and support which helps firm in short) & Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate (synthetic neuro peptide part of SYN-AKE. Helps reduce muscle induced expression lines).
The serum has amino acids, some other hydrators like safflower oil, glycerin, aloe, sodium PCA and shea butter plus soothing extracts like chamomile, ginkgo biloba and allantoin. I liked this serum, it's a nice peptide serum with a high concentration of peptides. I believe everyone should have peptides in their daily skincare routine. It's such an easy way to help with anti-aging. The two serums are definitely my top picks from the line.
