I’m a big fan of Josie Maran’s Skin Dope collection — and particularly the CBD Recovery Face Moisturizer. I have to admit, I appreciative its extraordinarily rich texture when I opened the lid the first time; but, I was leery of the texture. I thought it would be too much for this time of year — when temps hover in the high 60s at night here in New York City.
I was wrong — and pleasantly so.
Josie Maran’s CBD Recovery Face Moisturizer is a clean, rich cream powered by a blend of superb non-fragrant plant oils — some of them really unique in skin care.
Of course, Josie included her signature pure Argan Oil in addition to the 100mg of skin-rebooting, soothing cannabidiol.
But wait, there’s more! There just had to be more. And it had to be intriguing or it wouldn’t have caught my attention. (Orpheus isn’t the only curious cat in the place ya know.)
Right there at ingredient number four is Solanum Tuberosum — something I have never, in all my days, seen in a skincare INCI. What is Solanum Tuberosum? Potatoes! Well, more like Potato Pulp Extract to be exact. It’s used as a thickener and texture enhancer in skin care. I feel like I solved the mystery of Josie Maran’s magnificent, otherworldly texture.
Add to the Potato Pulp Extract both Cucumber Fruit Water and Watermelon Seed Oil.
As I pored over the INCI, I wondered if I were in a fresh juice shop. Nope, I was at the bathroom sink in my Brooklyn apartment!
By my count there are about a dozen replenishing plant oils in the CBD Recovery Face Moisturizer formula. But what I find most unique — and classic Josie Maran — is that surprising texture. It has the consistency of a rich custard pudding! Unlike custard, it’s not the least bit sticky and actually feels like a velvet veil on the skin.
One night a few weeks ago was the warmest night of the year, hovering around 72-73 degrees in the apartment. I thought it was the perfect night to really put the CBD Recovery Face Moisturizer to the test.
I wanted to know if such a rich moisturizer would feel uncomfortable on my skin. I’m happy to report it did not and I woke up looking (and feeling!) fresh AF.
Over the course of the past few weeks, the Skin Dope 100mg CBD Recovery Face Moisturizer has done wonders for my skin. My complexion looks and feels so balanced and calm.
I know it’s a result of the all the CBD I’ve been using. I really can’t get over that potato pulp in this one, though…
