I’ve been wanting to try CBD product for a while but have been bit apprehensive. I guess I thought they were just the new on-trend thing and it would pass soon. But it’s been a couple of years and CBD seems to be getting more and more popular. Especially in skincare! So I thought it was time to give it a go. I’ve been testing the new POKO skincare range. They’re a natural skincare company, with the goal of transforming your skincare routine.

Poko products include CBD (aka cannabidiol) which is a naturally occurring, non-intoxicating botanical compound found in hemp and cannabis. If you’re using any cannabis products, like cannabidoil, it’s important to know how long the compound stays in your system and to detoxify your body to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although cannabis is legal in many states, some companies and institutions may not tolerate employees or members using cannabis products.

CBD is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties which make it a great addition to skincare. I tried the Regenerating Collagen Moisturiser and the Correcting Eye Cream. Here are my thoughts…

Regenerating Collagen Moisturiser

I was pleasantly surprised by how cooling and soothing this moisturiser felt on my face. It wasn’t oily, greasy or tacky. A little goes a long way and it instantly made my skin feel fresh. It includes  CBD and aloe vera juice which is supposed to help give skin a youthful glow and I did feel that my skin was instantly brighter. It definitely left my skin feeling hydrated but also soft to the touch, and as I said, it definitely gave It a bright look. I love the fact that it’s a thick cream too. I almost feel as though I’m applying Greek Yogurt to my face! It’s surprising how many good CBD beauty brands there are around right now, Flawless CBD is another brand that does some amazing products and is worth a try.

Correcting Eye Cream

Really impressed with the eye cream too. I like the applicator as there are no fingers involved and it goes on nice and smooth. It instantly makes my under eyes feel refreshed and reduce puffiness. The eye cream includes ingredient such as Avocado oil, CBD and Oat silk which all add to the anti-inflammatory, soothing and hydration qualities.

I’ve been using the products for just over a week now and I could see an immediate difference to my skin. It was more radiant, hydrated and felt really good. A week later, it still has the same effect. While it hasn’t reduced my fine lines, it definitely enhances the look of my skin. I think it could be the CBD in the products or it could just be that Poko has created a great ingredients list that when put together really work.

It’s also worth noting that Poko is certified cruelty-free and are Vegan, All Poko products are free from silicones, phthalate, gluten, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, mineral oil, and palm oil.
