Julius Few is an experienced plastic surgeon who travels between Los Angeles and Chicago to meet clients, such as actress Gwyneth Paltrow to name one. He has lately pioneered clinical research into cannabidiol, a misunderstood part of the global skincare industry. Here, we will discuss how the blend of retinol and CBD for skin has revolutionized the way he deals with skincare.
How Julius Few Came To Know About Cannabidiol
He was introduced to cannabidiol topical as a product that users should rub onto their skin. One of his patients once gave him a cannabidiol topical product for muscular pulls. He was happy with what the product did as it reduced his pain but did not change his awareness level or mood. He started to think about the potential advantages of cannabidiol for facial skin. Initially, he hypothesized that combining cannabidiol with retinol is likely to reduce retinol’s irritating effects.
The hypothesis about CBD skincare products is likely to continue. Irritation is the primary challenge that retinol users face. Cannabidiol is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, what concerned Few about cannabidiol is that it becomes an oil product after its extraction from cannabis. As a person who has oily skin, Few wished to turn pure cannabidiol oil into a water-soluble composition to better cater it to any skin type.
As for Few, CBD is quite a thin oil product, and it is possible to make it a water-soluble item with many different chemical reactions. Few reckons that it is important to make cannabidiol oil water-soluble in a way that does not adversely impact the effectiveness of the cannabinoid. The advantage of being water-soluble may be that it is potentially good for a person having oilier skin, such as Few.
The availability of water-soluble cannabidiol made Few prepared to test the hypothesis with a clinical experiment. He tested the product on adults aged between 18 and 65 years. The group of participants used a blend of retinol and water-soluble cannabidiol topical. On the other hand, Few gave control group participants retinol to treat their skin. The study has such impressive outcomes and findings that those were featured in the latest Aesthetic Surgery Journal issue.
Few stated that the outputs went further than his hypothesis. Retinol worked without any irritation, due to cannabidiol, and the blend reduced skin inflammation.
