A few weeks ago, I did some work with a client who was creating a website dedicated to all things hemp & CBD. I learned a lot during this time and wrote a lot about the use of hempseed oil in beauty products; researching its benefits and uses extensively. I wrote a few articles for the client about the use of CBD ingredients in health & beauty ranges [did you know Milk Makeup use it in their products?] and - as I seem to do increasingly more these days - during this time of scouring high-end beauty sites and learning about this super-ingredient, I somehow influenced myself to wanna try anything & everything with it in.
Just like I've now become addicted to chicken korma, after I influenced myself heavily with Indian food after playing that level on Cooking Fever.
One of the big name brands that came up time & time again during my research and time scouting out the best CBD beauty products was MGC Derma; a company whose range I hadn't tried before, but began to form a deep interest in. These guys were like the OG's of CBD infused formulas; high-end, luxury skincare with great reviews. Available to shop at Harvey Nichols, I added several of their products to my [ever-expanding] skincare wishlist during my time working with this client.
Fast forward to now - and thanks to my huns at Wizard, I've got my hands on my first ever CBD infused product from this brand; the MGC Derma CBD & Hyaluronic Cleansing Milk* - and I really like it. Maybe manifesting stuff you want & it appearing is real?!
Formula-wise, this cleanser pumps out into a creamy, milk consistency; which melts into the skin and smells lovely. It's lightweight & non-greasy, effectively removing makeup whilst hydrating ma massive face. It's not stingy, aggressive or drying at all and I've used it daily for pure ages now so can vouch for its fitness.
Hyaluronic Acid [which I can never spell but everyone loves] and high-purity Cannabidiol in the cleanser's formula work to plump & firm ya face; whilst also protecting it from environmental stressors to leave it smoother, more even & younger-looking. And yes pls to this youth factor hun - I can't cope with how fossilised I am these days.
MGC Derma’s CBD & Hyaluronic Cleansing Milk combines a nourishing, purifying & delicate cleanser with high-quality hyaluronic acid to cleanse, moisturise, protect and help firm the skin every day. It's soap-free and contains natural humectants to gently remove oil, dirt and makeup to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. It is also enriched with high-purity cannabidiol (CBD) to support and help the skin appear firmer and younger with reduced wrinkles and a natural fresh glow.
Active Ingredients:
Argan Extract: An incredibly rich source of vitamin E and essential fatty acids, with healing, conditioning and anti-ageing properties to help nourish and moisturise the skin.
Algae Extract: Algae Extract is an extract of various species of Algae. Algae is a powerhouse of nutrients and minerals that can help draw toxins away from the skin. Full of incredible benefits for the skin; it conditions, hydrates, softens and detoxifies the skin, replenishing essential vitamins and minerals.
Sodium Hyaluronate (Salt of Hyaluronic Acid): A vital natural substance for youthful looking skin. A powerful humectant that attracts and retains water.
I'd definitely be keen to try more products from this brand & their CBD infused range - it's luxurious, kind to the skin, ded Instagrammable and not at all anything like the typical 'hemp' associations you might have. Yeno, like pure ganja plants, hipster backpacks and peace signs. The Cannabidiol used in beauty products is totally different to the strain people smoke; so there's no getting high and no similarities to carry across whatsoever. FYI.
Have you tried any CBD beauty products or skincare ranges before? Are you familiar with MGC Derma's fab collection?
