Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Perricone MD - Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Soothing & Hydrating Eye Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Perricone MD - Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Soothing & Hydrating Eye Cream ticks this box. Glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Cannabis sativa seed oil, glycine soja oil, vitis vinifera seed oil, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 and squalane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.35% - 0.75%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compounds in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behavior". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, dipotassium glycyrrhizate and allantoin
