What do the experts have to say about CBD and acne?
đ˛
Letâs jump into itâŚ
âťď¸
According to The Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI), a peer reviewed medical journal, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) plays a role in exerting anti-inflammatory properties and controlling the cutaneous cells life cycle (differentiation) (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
đ
JCI stated that acne affects many people worldwide and can even affect the quality of life that one may live dealing with the unwanted side effects of acne, that let's face it, pretty much terrible.
đ˛
CBD acts on the same receptors that are part of the ECS that controls sebum production, which would be nice if you are like me and overproduce oil. Overproduction of sebum can be great to control wrinkles, but there are some negative side effects⌠like acne.
âťď¸
JCI stated that CBD was able to stop the overproduction of lipids (Oil), allowing CBD to ânormalize lipid productionâ (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
đ
CBD controls the unwanted growth and overproduction of sebocytes (the cells that produce the oil), and letâs face it, sometimes we like to shine, but not literally (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
đ˛
CBD was shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that prevented the production of TNFA, a cytokine that is responsible in the presence of acne (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
âťď¸
CBDâs was shown to help with the inflammation that is associated with acne due to CBDâs remarkable anti-inflammatory properties (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
đ
CBD was also shown to help control the production of keratinocytes and prevent an overproduction of them, which further display anti-acne properties (OlĂĄh,et al., 2014).
Itâs almost like our creator designed this plant to be used by us in almost every way, weird.
