Revitalise CBD & Vitamin B5 Moisturiser

CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it is one of the main active ingredients in cannabis. CBD has been known for a long time, first being discovered way back in 1940, though research into its effects has only just started taking place. In many places, the active ingredient within the cannabis plant, CBD, is legal while the cannabis plant itself still remains illegal. This varies based on where you are, and we’ll discuss more about CBD’s legal status in the UK and in the rest of Europe later on.

Acne is the most common skin condition in humans. CBD contains many compounds with oil-reducing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which may help acne. Studies have taken place researching the effect of CBD on sebocytes - cells that create sebum - a waxy, oily substance that the skin creates. Excess sebum can cause acne. The study indicated that CBD could prevent sebocytes from creating too much sebum, thus resulting in improvements in subjects’ acne. CBD has also been found to have antifungal properties, which could help prevent skin infections, such as acne.

A study found that CBD may be useful for treating some common symptoms of skin conditions, such as dryness and itching. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD may be particularly useful for reducing potential triggers of eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. As CBD oil can help soothe skin and reduce the appearance of irritation, it may be useful for people with sensitive skin.
