 If you use a cream containing an ingredient called "CBD (cannabidiol)" extracted from cannabis, you can dramatically and quickly improve your worries such as acne, inflammation, stains, and wrinkles, which is a big boom mainly in the United States.

The feature of CBD is its effect. Koichi Hikichi, the representative director of the Japan Cosmetics Association, who verified the safety of CBD for the first time in Japan, says.

"The substance CBD is a" promising ingredient "that you can apply and use. It has an antioxidant effect that protects the skin from damage such as ultraviolet rays and environmental pollution, and an anti-glycation effect that prevents" body kogation "that causes aging. , There are many reports that it has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect.

Medical) Even when used on skin with wounds and bleeding after treatment, no side reactions such as skin irritation were observed in all subjects.

There has never been an ingredient that has no side effects and has such a dramatic skin-beautifying effect and immediate effect. Many CBD-containing cosmetics are already on the market in Japan. But you should definitely avoid jumping on them easily.

CBD first received attention in Japan in 2019. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare focused on the clinical effect as a drug, not as an ingredient in cosmetics. According to Ichiro Taigumi, an associate professor of neurosurgery at St. Marianna University School of Medicine.

"We believe that the intractable epilepsy drug" Epidiolex "including CBD is useful, and we are conducting research so that it can be used appropriately in Japan. We are aiming to start clinical trials at the earliest this year. "

On the other hand, Mr. Takumi says that clinical trials of drugs including CBD are underway, but the safety as cosmetics is unknown. Among them, the ingredient "THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)", which is also extracted from cannabis, is a narcotic ingredient that has so-called "high" and "rally" effects and dependence, and this is mixed in CBD used in cosmetics. There is a possibility that it is.

Of course, it is illegal in Japan if it contains even a small amount of THC. Even if you purchase it without knowing it, you will be subject to punishment because you will be in possession of illegal drugs just by having it. How, among the CBD products already handled in Japan, those containing this THC have been found.
