1061 The safety of topical cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of acne

CBD, a constituent of the cannabis sativa plant, has been shown to have activity in epilepsy, PTSD, withdrawal symptoms, and Fragile X syndrome. Published data has also shown that CBD inhibits sebum production in sebocytes, decreases tissue inflammation, and regulates keratinocyte production. To understand the role CBD may play in the treatment of acne, a pure synthetic form of CBD was manufactured for topical delivery and formulated in a novel, simple, proprietary formulation known as PermetrexTM.
