What You Need to Know About CBD Skincare

When it comes to acne and anti-aging skin care, most consumers use products that include ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid or SPF to help reduce acne and fine lines. But have you considered adding CBD to your skin care routine? The omega-3 fatty acids found in hemp can do wonders for skin which is why CBD, aka cannabinoids, can be found in anything from serums and lotions to lip balms and sunscreens these days. But are CBD beauty products right for you? Here is what you need to know about CBD Skincare.  

According to a recent Market Watch report, the global CBD cosmetics market is estimated to be valued at over $580 million. And the global cannabidiol (CBD) cosmetics market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of more than 30% from 2020 to 2024 to reach $3.1 billion (USD), according to Market Reports World. There has been ongoing research on CBD and its many healing properties for skin. As a result, many skincare experts have begun touting the benefits of using cannabidiol-infused skincare products. Ildi Pekar, NYC-based aesthetician shares that, "Cannabidiol offers some serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits which can be beneficial in treating skin concerns like inflammation, dryness and free radical damage."  

Dr. Jeanette Jacknin, board-certified dermatologist and author is also in favor of incorporating CBD into natural skin care products.  “Because CBD is such an anti-inflammatory agent and inflammation can be responsible for aging of the skin and beyond, incorporating it into a routine could prove to be beneficial,” states Jacknin. “The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD appear to improve symptoms for many patients dramatically. Recent studies found that applying a high-quality CBD topically can improve symptoms of acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, wounds, itching, and other rarer skin problems. I’ve seen particular efficacy for treating dry skin and fine lines, making CBD a great ingredient for all skin types.”  

The FDA advises that consumers consult with their healthcare providers before they start using any products containing CBD. If you’re ready to give CBD skincare a try, we recommend you check out Vertly, our newest CBD skincare line.
