Perricone MD CBx for Men Hemp Skincare ($35-$55)
Renowned for their scientifically proven skincare solutions, Perricone MD has had a long-standing cult following among both male and female consumers alike, consistently receiving rave reviews and awards for many of their innovative skincare products. However, they never had a dedicated skincare line created solely for men. That is, until now. Their latest collection of products is not only designed specifically for men, but also made from one of man’s most favorite plants—hemp!
Called the “CBx for Men Collection,” the new skincare line features a Super Clean Face Was, a Soothing Post-Shave Treatment, and a Lightweight Moisturizer all specifically created to address excess oil production, sensitivity, and irritation related to shaving, as well as core skincare concerns like dehydration, fine lines, and uneven skin tone that directly affect a man’s skin. But the key to the line’s powerful results lie in its powerful ingredients derived from phytocannabinoids, which are powerful antioxidants naturally derived from the hemp plant.
“After carefully vetting a variety of active ingredients, we chose to use phytocannabinoids, non-psychoactive cannabinoids derived from the cannabis sativa plant, as the key ingredient in the CBx for Men collection,” said Perricone MD’s Chief Innovative Officer, Chris Caires.
“Phytocannabinoids are known to help stressed, oil-prone skin feel soothed, healthy and refreshed, making them an ideal ingredient for men’s skincare,” Caires continued. “Aside from skincare, phytocannabinoids have also been used to address a variety of conditions such as chronic pain and sleeplessness as well as skin conditions such as acne.”
Indeed they do, and while their benefits have no doubt be proven time and again, Perricone MD still wanted to make it clear that the phytocannabinoids are extracted from the mature stalk of the fiber-type hemp plant and have no recreational use. That being said, they do offer up a terrific woodsy green fragrance that provides a subtle top note of clean, fresh hemp—perhaps a perfect compliment to that fresh scent of buds you’ll no doubt be carrying around with you after you use them.
