Ingredient callouts
- What makes this product special is the inclusion of Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.15% - 0.65%). CBD is a new active in skincare, and the research about it is still ongoing. It is already clear though that CBD can bind to skin cell receptors. It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also has a promise in reducing acne.
