Cibdol Aczedol CBD Acne Cream

Cibdol’s new Aczedol salve utilises the nurturing power of CBD to combat the symptoms of acne. Aczedol’s formula targets the Acne Vulgaris-causing bacteria secreted from sebaceous glands and features the power of liposomes, which allow CBD’s restorative and antibacterial functions to penetrate deep into the skin, where it is needed most.

Cibdol Aczedol Salve: Naturally Powerful Acne Care

Aczedol is formulated differently than other kinds of CBD salves. Containing active ingredients CBD, Ursolic Acid, Myricetin, Panthenol and Tetrahydrocurcumin, this formula is applied to the face as a cleansing water-based cream that encourages anti-inflammatory responses. Inflammation is responsible for causing much of the pain and redness associated with pimples and cysts.

HOW TO USE ACZEDOL

Aczedol is applied topically to the face by administering a small amount to problem areas of the skin 2-3 times daily. Do not use this product on recently injured skin. Avoid making contact with the eye and under-eye areas, as this may cause irritation.

Despite Acne Vulgaris’ frequency in adolescents, it can affect individuals of all ages in the form of mild to severe outbreaks. Hormonal imbalances causing excessive sebum production proliferate in bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, (P. acnes) stimulating IL-8 – a group of signalling proteins, known as chemokines, that induce inflammatory responses. This is where Aczedol’s powerful cleansing ingredients come into play.

In addition to the salve, we recommend the oral formulation with Inositol that acts as an anti-androgen, which helps to mediate human hormones.

LIPOSOMES

Aczedol’s liposomal formula facilitates the passing of active ingredients through multiple layers of the skin for maximum penetrative power. Most commonly used in prescription drugs, liposomes are vesicles that have been found to be extremely effective in nutraceutical supplements.

Liposomes’ low rate of absorption and encapsulating lipid bilayer(s) allows active ingredients to be absorbed directly into cells, as opposed to entering the bloodstream or digestive system first. Active ingredients are able to reach cells in a much more streamlined way than if liposomes were not present. Topical formulas have been cited as surpassing ordinary creams up to four times in delivering active ingredients.
