You probably didn’t know this go-to beauty-tool brand offers skincare

If PMD Beauty rings a bell, it’s probably because you’ve seen (or tried) their signature at-home microdermabrasion tool or Kiss lip-plumping device. The brand has been a solid contender in the ever-expanding arena of DIY treatments that mimic professional procedures, but I bet you had no idea that PMD does skincare—and rather well at that.

Frankly, I didn’t know either until a package of products showed up on my doorstep, and I took their Daily Cell Regeneration System for a test-drive today after Pilates. Designed to complement PMD’s tools—but appropriate for use on its own—I was pleasantly surprised by this simple three-step system. The Cleanse: Soothing Antioxidant Cleanser did a great job at gently washing away my first sunscreen application of the day, along with the little bit of CC cushion I put on since I had to run a few errands. The clear gel doesn’t get all that sudsy (which is a good thing), yet it left my skin feeling really fresh. Then I sprayed the Soothe: Multivitamin Nourishing Toner on a cotton pad and gave my face a once over. There was no stinging or burning, and since I read the directions afterwards, I added a few extra spritzes all over my face (as recommended). Since I love a good facial mist, I enjoyed the extra moisture—and the light neroli scent. Finally, I finished with the Regenerate: Anti-Aging Recovery Moisturizer and again, I was quite happy with the formula and the level of hydration it left behind.

Each of these three products feature a unique complex of hyaluronic acid and peptides to maximize skin hydration while giving the skin’s natural regeneration process a boost—and they are formulated to help maintain your skin’s barrier as well. Serving up everything you’d want in a simple skincare regimen (i.e. effective cleansing, soothing, antioxidants, hydration and ingredients that target visible signs of aging like uneven skin tone and rough texture), this $80 bundle gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
