You may have heard of retinol, but chances are you’re not quite sure what it is or what it does. And you’re not alone—even though retinol is one of the most popular skincare ingredients on the market, there’s still a lot of confusion surrounding it.
Retinol Basics
So let’s start with the basics: retinol is a form of Vitamin A that speeds up cell turnover and boosts collagen production, resulting in firmer, brighter, and smoother skin.
Now that you know what retinol is, let’s talk about why you need it in your life. If you’re struggling with uneven texture and dullness, wrinkles and fine lines, or uneven tone and dark spots, then retinol is your new best friend.
Not only does retinol improve the appearance of your skin, but it also helps reduce the appearance of acne by unclogging pores and preventing future breakouts.
CBD Basics
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in Cannabis sativa plants—aka marijuana. And even though CBD comes from the cannabis plant, it won’t get you high; THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another compound found in cannabis plants, is responsible for that.
Both THC and CBD interact with our endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates everything from sleep and appetite to fertility and pain.
CBD oil has been shown to help reduce inflammation, redness, and dryness while also providing antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. When used topically, CBD oil can help to soothe irritated skin while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Basically, CBD oil is amazing for your skin—which is why it has been combined with retinol to create our brand-new CBD face cream with retinol.
How To Use Them Together
For best results, it’s recommended to use CBD with retinol face treatment at night after cleansing and before applying your moisturizer. Simply dispense two-three drops into the palm of your hand and massage the cream into your face and neck using gentle upward strokes.
Allow the CBD with retinol oil to absorb for one to two minutes before moving on to the next step in your skincare routine.
