John Bell & Croyden – the renowned pharmacy emporium in London’s Harley Street Medical Area – is delighted to announce that one of its award-winning luxury cosmeceutical brands is taking up a residency in Beverley Hills to deliver its highly sought-after skin treatments to Hollywood’s elite.

In the week leading up to the Oscars, from March 20th to 27th, luxury British skincare brand Skin Design London will be taking up residency at The Spa at the Maybourne Beverly Hills Hotel to get guests red-carpet ready with its world-famous Face Tight Infusion Facial.

Skin Design London set up its first ever clinical residency inside the prestigious royal pharmacy, John Bell & Croyden, in April 2021 and has since enjoyed stratospheric success. In London, the pioneering brand – founded by global skincare expert Fatma Shaheen in 2017 – commands a significant waiting list. The clinic’s Face Tight Infusion Signature Treatment has become one of the most sought-after facials in London. The signature treatment uses non- invasive technologies to tighten, lift and revive the skin, create plumped lips, perfectly chiselled cheekbones and a radiant glow on the skin texture.

Winner of GQ Breakthrough Brand of the Year in 2020, the luxury brand will now be heading from London to Hollywood to prep artists for the most star-studded event of the year.

Alexander Johnston, General Manager at John Bell & Croyden, commented: “We have worked closely with the Skin Design London team for many years, and it has been exciting to see the huge leaps they have made since setting up a residency in our Wigmore Street store. It is fantastic to be a part of their incredible journey, which has seen them grow from strength to strength, sweep up awards and now be offering their celebrated treatments for the most prestigious awards worldwide!”
