I see you got pulled in by the CBD, yes, this is all over social media at the moment. I was just as intrigued as you are right now. So, where to begin? I tried these products so you can see what i thought of them. Just to be clear, these products were provided by for the Ageless for review purposes. All opinions are my own, opinions may differ due to personal taste.

Pop this into your favourite mug, glass, bottle however you like to serve it. Although you may be familiar with collagen through using creams, you can also get this in a drinkable form.

But, don’t worry, there are products out there to help top you up.

Packaging
Easy to read, nice black and silver exterior with stand out white writing. When you hold the product you have all the information in your hand. Sealed for your protection on the inside you can guarantee a fresh powder. inside you will find a scoop of 15ml to help measure out your portions.

Product thoughts 
I’ve found it easy to mix into my coffee as I don’t find the powder to have a particular taste. I did also mix into a juice as it easily blended in. I have found the skin on my face becoming a lot smoother using this product, but, I do also drink around 2-3 litres of water a day.

My Rating:
Taste: 5/5
Results: 4/5
(2 weeks of use – I believe using for a longer period would show better results.)

CBD Oil Lip balm

About

Pharmahemp™uses hand harvested hemp plants that are grown organically and carefully selected. Without herbicides and pesticides, you can guarantee a high-quality standard hemp. Retailing for £7.90

Ingredients

Industrial hemp extract (Cannabis sativa L.), Almond oil, Ricinus seed oil, Palmitic/Stearic triglyceride, Hydrogenated olive oil stearyl esters, Hydrogenated castor oil behenyl esters, Cetearyl alcohol, Shea butter, Coconut oil, Caprylic/Capric triglyceride, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, Avocado oil, Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate, Tocopheryl acetate, Vanilla essence, Sunflower oil, Echinacea purpurea root extract.

Paraben, preservative, parfum and mineral oil FREE, Yes that’s right! all natural. This is one of the reasons that made me really want to give this a go. After having some knowledge around CBD Oil and how amazing it can be for depression, anxiety, chronic pain and more I was intrigued to see how the lip balm could benefit a day to day battle with cracked lips. Packed with vitamin A and E it really is an emergency stick in your pocket, see what I did there?

So, what did I think?

Packaging
Smart and easy on the eye. There is plenty of information about the product which I like, as you know exactly what you are buying.

The un-wrapping
When you take the lip balm out the packaging it has a very strong smell – similar to CBD Oil drops if you have tried those.|

Product thoughts

It has a non-greasy, very smooth texture when on your lips which is good. However, after a few minutes, I did notice a strange taste in my mouth. It was an earthy taste, which I kind of expected.
I have experienced similar situations with previous lip balms but this is the first cannabinoid balm I have tried, so, I am unsure if this is normal. Even though the lip blam yellow in colour, no colour transfers on your lips, just a smooth textured shine. I tried this for a week to see what the results would be as this weather is awful lately; -3 one day and then 10 degrees the next with harsh winds. I suffer badly from chapped, dry lips and always like to have a lip balm to hand. Personally, I don’t think I would use this again due to the taste it left in my mouth but if there was a way to remove that then I would definitely use it.

The Results

My lips were in a really good condition as they felt smoother and were less chapped after a couple of days. I just struggled with the taste, which was a shame.

The Advantages – This Lip balm is easy and compact to carry around, you can keep it in your pocket, bag, shoe, where ever is easy for you. If you like the taste of CBD oil this product is definitely for you as the results for chapped, dehydrated lips are amazing.

My Rating:
Taste: 3/5
Results: 5/5

  1. Yes I’m a sucker that saw CBD and clicked to read the post lol. But glad I did as I found it interesting to know about the earthy taste from the lip balm, which you wouldn’t necessarily think you’d get with only putting it on your lips.
    I’ve read about collagen helping when recovering from injuries etc, but didn’t think about taking it as a supplement for skin. Interesting read Hun,
