The epidermis has pores all over it, so when you apply a cream or savle with infused CBD, the CBD quickly seeps through your skin and starts working on the troubled area.

Once the CBD has reached the affected area, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system (ECS) by binding to the CB1 and CB2 receptors that are responsible for mitigating pain and inflammation as well as many other bodily functions.

Many CBD topicals also contain other pain-relieving and skin-nourishing ingredients, such as menthol and capsaicin. This allows for a more pronounced effect on the affected area, and it can be difficult to determine if the positive effects are due to CBD or the other ingredients in the product.

When selecting a CBD topical, look for the product with the highest concentration of active ingredient. Start with a low viable dosage and gradually increase your use until you find the optimal therapeutic relief. Also, make sure that the CBD levels listed on the COA (Certificate of Analysis) match up with the product description and have been verified through a third-party lab for quality assurance.
