Several studies have found skin care benefits of topical CBD, which doesnโ€™t have psychoactive properties like THC. Thereโ€™s potential for topical CBD to treat acne, itch, eczema, and psoriasis, according to a recent analysis of existing research.

The authors of the analysis pointed to a small study on 3 percent cannabis cream for acne.

The study found that people with acne and redness who applied CBD cream on one side of their face two times a day saw significant decrease in sebum (the oil that can cause acne) and redness.
