CBD (also referred to as cannabidiol) is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in cannabis plants. It's one of the two primary active ingredients of cannabis, the other one being THC (the chemical that gets you high!). In recent years it has become a popular skincare ingredient due to its many skincare benefits.
CBD has impressive anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation, making it a great ingredient for sensitive skin (studies have indicated that cannabidiol may be effective in treating eczema and psoriasis too). It offers protection from environmental aggressors, such as pollution and UV rays, and it also calms the skin, moisturises and hydrates, and prevents acne by regulating oil production.
The natural ingredient is found in the Cellular Goods Rejuvenating Cannabinoid Face Serum. This luxe serum is formulated with cannabinoid CBG, a pioneering, breakthrough skin soothing anti-inflammatory cannabinoid which protects skin from irritation, and also prevents some of the key changes in the skin known to accelerate ageing.
The fragrance-free serum is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive. It provides an effective solution for preventing age-related skin issues for all age groups, including younger generations who want to maintain their youthful, glowing skin. The lightweight serum has been proven to visibly lift and firm the skin. Impressively, its hero ingredients - matrixyl and CBG - are more effective than vitamin C in reversing signs of ageing, and equally as effective as retinol, without the dryness or irritation typically associated with these ingredients.
The Rejuvenating Cannabinoid Face Serum cost £99 for 30ml and is available from Debenhams and cellular-goods.com.
