OptoDerm has introduced a new CBD Hydrating Serum, designed to enhance post-procedure recovery, soothe inflamed skin, and promote overall skin health. This advanced serum is formulated with a powerful blend of active ingredients to effectively target inflammation, hydration, and skin barrier function.
Cannabidiol (CBD), the core ingredient in the formulation, is a non-psychoactive compound derived from Cannabis sativa renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, helping to regulate inflammation and sebum production, making it beneficial for conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. Studies have shown a reduction in redness and sebum levels, which makes this serum ideal for patients with acne-prone or irritated skin. Alongside CBD, 4-t-cyclobutylhexanol plays a crucial role in calming the skin by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping to reduce redness and swelling often associated with dermatological treatments like microneedling or chemical peels.
To ensure the skin remains hydrated and protected, the formula includes vitamin F esters, composed of essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acids. These fatty acids help repair the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss, while their anti-inflammatory properties support damaged or sensitive skin, especially post-procedure. Squalane, a hydrogenated form of a lipid naturally present in the skin delivers deep hydration without a greasy feel, enhancing skin elasticity. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps fades dark spots and scars to even out skin tone, and its antioxidant properties protect the skin from environmental stressors while promoting collagen production, essential for maintaining firmness and elasticity.
In addition, capric/caprylic triglycerides, derived from coconut oil, help lock in moisture and stabilise the serum's active ingredients, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel. Their antimicrobial properties offer additional protection, preventing post-procedure infections. Hydrogenated castor oil is another essential element, providing long-lasting hydration by helping the skin retain moisture. Its presence also ensures that the serum is suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, offering an extra layer of care and stability to the formulation.
Together, these ingredients work in synergy to influence key biological pathways. They inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production and boost the skin’s antioxidant defences while activating lipid synthesis and skin barrier repair.
Additionally, the serum is part of a broader skincare range that includes a potent serum and nourishing cream, both designed to complement the CBD Hydrating Serum by delivering enhanced anti-ageing and moisture-boosting benefits. This range promises to meet various dermatological needs, offering a well-rounded solution for professionals seeking after-care support post treatment.
