Inflammation is one of the largest contributors to skin stress or conditions, so CBD is showing promise in topical applications for the treatment of conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis, and dryness. Early studies and a new clinical trial are indicating that synthetic CBD specifically is proving beneficial in the treatment of acne. (You can read more about synthetic CBD in Chapter 2.) The antifungal and antimicrobial properties of CBD also lend themselves to addressing skin concerns.

CBD isn’t believed to bond with the endocannabinoid receptors in the ECS system (which involves your body’s internal human cannabinoids, chemicals in hemp and cannabis). It does interact with the receptors, and a whole host of other receptors, including the vanilloid and gamma receptors I discuss in the earlier section “Relieving pain and physical ailments.” The vanilloid receptor is responsible for balance (homeostasis) in the skin. The gamma receptor is responsible for cell regulation, including inflammation relief.
