CBD is a hot topic at
the moment.
Healthcare
professionals and beauty brands alike are launching CBD products left right and
center, including luxury brand Rodial in the form of their new CBD Sleep Drops (£85) but what exactly is CBD and how
can it benefit me?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound
found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a
medicine going back thousands of years.
A safe, non-addictive
substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are
unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.
Rodial has captured
all of the potent anti-inflammatory properties of CBD and encorporated it into
their newest launch, an addition to their bestselling Booster Drops Collection.
CBD Sleep Drops are a
targeted treatment containing CBD which soothe and calm your skin, working to
reduce redness and improve the overall wellbeing and health of your skin.
Our skin has a high
concentration of CBD receptors which helpfully, allow our skin to respond to
the presence of CBD in our skincare but the human body also produces CBD
naturally, which supports our general wellbeing by regulating our mood, sleep
and stress.
These powerful
anti-inflammatory qualities combined with its ability to relax and replenish
makes it a truly hero skincare product.
Formulated alongside a
host of skin loving ingredients, these drops are designed specifically for use
prior to sleep and works while you rest, leaving skin feeling revitalised,
fresh and healthy upon waking and your mind feeling quiet, calm and relaxed.
Pale green in colour
and lightweight in texture, the drops are a wondefull oil/serum hybrid.
Light and silky like
a serum but rich and nourishing like an oil, massage 2-3 drops into cleaned
skin before applying your moisture.
The drops possess
quite a noticeable, botanical scent, perfect for soothing your mind while the
active ingredients do the same for your skin!
Alongside CBD, they
also contain Squalane to help deliver moisture to your skins surface while
rebalancing oily patches, Purslane to reduce inflamed, irritated, blemish prone
skin, chamomile to reduce skin redness and calm and vegan collagen to support
your skins natural collagen production.
Upon application skin
instantly feels nourished and soft, so much so in fact that I found myself
questioning whether I actually needed my moisturiser (I do have fairly oily skin though).
That said, despite
the feeling of hydration and comfort it didn’t feel heavy on my skin or leave
it feeling clogged or weighed down.
I particularly
enjoyed the relaxing aroma it released which definitely helped me to drift off
into a peaceful slumber, while safe in the knowledge that my skin was being
thoroughly pampered while I slept.
Upon waking my skin
felt lovely a soft and more even in texture and appearance.
It didn’t aggravate
my skin or cause breakouts like many treatment serums can and if anything, left
my skin feeling comforted and rejuvenated.
All in all, these fabulous
little drops get a big thumbs up from me. I’m impressed by the list of
ingredients and feel that they work particularly well on my sometimes
problematic, combination-oily skin type.
Rodial’s new CBD Sleep Drops are available now and cost £85.
