CBD Leafline: Skin Therapy 1% Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Is there a better combination than skincare and CBD? If you ask us, here at The Amazing Blog, we’d say that the two go together perfectly. You may remember that we have previously reviewed the award-winning brand CBD Leafline's range of Skin Therapy here. And today we'd like to introduce another skincare product from the range with their 1% Hyaluronic Acid Serum. 

CBD Leafline was founded by CBD enthusiasts Paul and Sonia Shrive. It all began after a lifesaving encounter with CBD in Africa when Paul decided he wanted to create quality CBD-derived products to share the benefits with others. The couple decided to launch their brand in 2018, using Paul's experience in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale; and Sonia's marketing and customer service expertise. The duo took their time crafting and researching to develop their first CBD-infused skincare line, Skin Therapy. Research has shown many benefits to using CBD in skincare, including reducing inflammation and regulating the sebaceous glands (which produce oil in the skin and hair). All products in the CBD Leafline range are natural and combine high-quality whole-plant hemp oil containing broad-spectrum CBD (THC-free) with cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, omega 3/6, and amino acids that interact with other vegan ingredients. Other ingredients are derived from plant and fruit extracts, such as marine collagen (always seaweed, not fish), retinol, hyaluronic acid, and pro-vitamin B5. All CBD Leafline products are independently tested (see here) and the brand is a CannaPro certified business.

The Skin Therapy 1% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a part of the CBD skincare range and included in the Skin Therapy bundle, but it is also sold separately. This award-winning Serum aims to moisturise, revitalise, clear, and rejuvenate the skin. Its key ingredients include 100mg of CBD, 1% hyaluronic acid serum, vitamin B5, and three different fruit extracts (cranberry, raspberry, and grapefruit). The CBD is an all-natural, powerful plant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that helps to free the skin from environmental stressors that can cause fine lines and wrinkles, allowing the skin to stay youthful and smooth for longer. The CBD also regulates the oil glands, making this product ideal for acne sufferers or people with skin conditions that may cause the skin to become inflamed. Hyaluronic acid, one of our favourite skincare ingredients, is a naturally occurring moisture magnet for the body. This acid is responsible for leaving the skin hydrated, plump, and healthy. Vitamin B5 acts as a barrier around the skin to lock in moisture, improving skin softness and elasticity, and helps to regenerate the skin cells, revitalising the skin's surface and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The triple fruit extracts: cranberry, raspberry, and grapefruit assist in brightening the skin through a broad spectrum of natural antioxidants. When all of the ingredients are combined, the result is a lovely anti-ageing serum with the power to deeply replenish, clear, and moisturise the skin. 

For the best results, CBD Leafline recommends wiping the face gently with a warm damp flannel to ensure it's clean and makeup-free, then apply the Serum and blend until it's fully absorbed. Lightly tap the face with fingertips to encourage this Serum to deeply penetrate the skin. We used this morning and evening, and what we liked, is that it's versatile enough to be used with our other moisturisers and SPFs, as the fragrance doesn't conflict,. Plus, in the recent hot weather we used it solo, as it’s fast absorbing and extremely hydrating, So, if you're looking to clear acne-prone skin or to reduce the appearance of fine lines, dry or temperamental skin, this CBD serum may be your perfect match.

CBD Leafline - Skin Therapy: Cellulite Toning Body Lotion

Have you been sorting out your summer clothes and dreaming of getting back into your swimwear? We have! By doing this during #lockdown, it became apparent to some of us at The Amazing Blog that we needed to start toning up our tums, bums and thighs! And what better way to get started than by using a Cellulite Body Toning Lotion. This is from one of our favourite award-winning CBD skincare brands CBD Leafline from their range of Skin Therapy. You may remember that we’ve reviewed some of their products here.

CBD Leafline was founded in 2018 by CBD enthusiasts Paul and Sonia Shrive. Having had a lifesaving encounter with CBD in Africa during his youth, Paul wanted to create quality CBD-derived products for others to share the same benefits of wellbeing. Thanks to their experience in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale; and Sonia’s expertise in marketing and customer service, they finally launched. And after further research and development their first CBD-infused skincare line, Skin Therapy made its debut last year too. Studies have demonstrated that topical use of CBD has helped regulate the sebaceous glands, and reduce inflammation. All products in the CBD Leafline range  are natural and combine high-quality whole-plant hemp oil containing broad-spectrum CBD (THC-free) with cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, omega 3/6 and amino acids which interact with other vegan ingredients. These are derived from plant and fruit extracts, such as marine collagen (always seaweed not fish), retinol, hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin B5. All CBD Leafline products are independently tested (see here) and the brand is a CannaPro certified business.

Let’s talk about cellulite. In simple terms, it’s a build-up of fat under the dermis combined with weakening of the connective tissue, which in turn creates an orange peel ripple look on the body. It is a harmless and natural condition that affects about 9 out of 10 women - and some men. This is where CBD Leafline’s Cellulite Body Toning Lotion comes into its own. The antioxidants in the 100mg of CBD here, helps the production of collagen in the skin as well as reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the body. Not forgetting that the cannabidiol neutralising free radicals and the rich antioxidants help the skin stay youthful for longer. The carrier oils are olive, coconut and apricot kernel packed with fatty acids and further antioxidants that work to rehydrate and slow down skin ageing. Together with the ‘triple fruit extract’ of melon, strawberry and papaya, work in synergy to tone, tighten and exfoliate. The melon fruit extract is rich in vitamins A and C offering yet even more antioxidant compounds. When vitamin A and C are applied topically, they too are good at hunting down and neutralising free radicals and, most importantly, reduce the appearance of ‘orange peel’ skin. Strawberry fruit extract soothes and tones the skin and reduces the size of pores by tightening and firming skin. Whereas the papaya fruit extract also contains vitamins A and C that brightens and tones the skin giving it a natural lift whilst soothing, softening and promoting new skin cell growth. Finally, the four essential oils of orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit release a soft, fresh citrus aroma and they cleanse, purify, nourish and protect. CBD Leafline suggest applying this once a day to the cellulite-prone areas (in our case, thighs!) and gently pinching and massaging the area to stimulate circulation and blood flow. We found that by using this Cellulite Toning Body Lotion in the morning, after exercise and shower, was the best way for us to get optimal results. Then we used a wooden hand massager to gently stimulate the area, and as a final step, applied the Cellulite Toning Body Lotion. Yes, we have achieved smoother and less bumpy thighs but what we really noticed was how soft and hydrated it left our skin. It’s another one of our #amazingfinds of the week and also a must-have, if like us, you’re preparing to get your body bikini-ready after this very long #lockdown. To purchase CBD Leafline’s Cellulite Body Toning Lotion in 100ml for £34.99, click here.  

CBD Leafline - Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream & Marine Collagen Eye Gel

Today we are back with another British CBD brand that we’ve recently uncovered and are super excited to tell you all about it. At The Amazing PR, when it comes to CBD infused skincare, we’re always on the looking out for the next best thing; and with the brand CBD Leafline what sets them apart is that they are both a formulator and manufacturer, and kindly sent us some of their range to try.

The brand is founded by CBD enthusiasts Paul and Sonia Shrive; where Paul, who had a lifesaving encounter with CBD in Africa during his youth, wanted to create quality CBD-derived products for others to share the same benefits of well-being. Thanks to his experience in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale; and Sonia’s expertise in marketing and customer service, they finally launched CBD Leafline in 2018. After much research and development, their first CBD-infused skincare the Skin Therapy range launched at the end of September last year. Over the past few years, studies have demonstrated that topical use of CBD helped regulate the sebaceous glands (responsible for making you look shiny), reduce inflammation and is also a powerful antioxidant. All products in the range combine high-quality whole-plant hemp oil containing CBD (THC-free) with cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, omega 3/6 and amino acid. These interact with other anti-ageing natural and vegan-friendly ingredients, which are derived from plant and fruit extracts, marine collagen (seaweed not fish) retinol, hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin B5. All CBD Leafline products are independently tested (see here), and the brand is a CannaPro certified business.

The first product that we tried was the Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream and think that this will soon become your hydration hero, if like us, you have dry and dehydrated skin. The 100mg whole-plant hemp extract is paired with other powerful antioxidants like oat silk, plum kernel and argan oils, and green tea extract. This formula is also packed with hydrating properties; starting with our old friend hyaluronic acid together with evening primrose, shea butter, and a complex of natural oils (apricot kernel, avocado, arnica, and passionfruit); where these fatty acids that maintain the skin’s hydration are here to keep it nourished.  The cream’s scent is a subtle and delicious mix of green tea and plum. To use, simply apply a small amount to cleansed skin in the evening, avoiding the eye contour and massage upwards gently working the cream into face and neck. What we liked abut this Night Cream was that in the morning, our skin felt soft, looked dewy and was slightly more plumped-up. The 30ml Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream is available for purchase at £44.99 here.

The second product we tried was the Marine Collagen Eye Gel and in this 30ml bottle the CBD dosage is 50mg; this works alongside the seaweed-extracted marine collagen to help the skin regain its elasticity. This Eye Gel is also rich in hyaluronic acid and avocado oil both of which improve skin’s moisture levels. While alongside the hemp terpenes, the arnica and aloe vera here tone and fights puffiness and dark circles . Use morning and night by dabbing a small amount of gel onto the eye area and let it absorb. We found that it glided onto the skin effortlessly and left the area feeling cool and refreshed; it also worked brilliantly for reviving tired eyes - especially with our constant screen fatigue! You can purchase the 30ml Marine Collagen Eye Gel for £34.99 here. All products have super-potent formulas and to get the maximum benefit from their natural actives do remember to store them in a cool spot (below 25°C) and away from direct sunlight. All of their skincare products are available on their own or as sets and bundles.
