This formulation contains ingredients often found in high-end boutique line skin care creams. Let’s take a look.

Ingredient Profile

Reishi mushroom has polysaccharides to boost moisture retention.

Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil comes from the Cannabis sativa plant. Full-spectrum CBD does not give a “high” or altered sensation.

The CBD oil is 500mg of CO2 extracted, organic USA-grown, and third-party tested.

It contains skin-loving cannabidiol, cannabigerol (CBG) and antioxidant compounds.[2]

Cannabidiol Oil is high in Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D. [3]

Reishi mushroom

Reishi mushroom

Lactobacillus/Ganoderma Lucidum

Gandoderma Lucidum is Reishi Mushroom Extract. It is also called Asian Mushroom Extract or lingzhi.  It is most often seen in higher-end anti-aging skin creams.

Reishi is known as the “mushroom of immortality” as it promotes cell regeneration.

Reishi has been used in traditional medicinal practice for health and beauty applications. It also reduces skin inflammation and puffiness.

Reishi is packed with polysaccharides to boost moisture retention. They boost the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water. It also contributes to Reishi’s ability to reduce wrinkles.

It increases blood flow to increase nutrient delivery within the skin.

As with most topically applied mushrooms, Reishi is an excellent hydrator.

Lentinus Edodes

Lentinus Edodes is Shiitake Mushroom.

Shiitake mushrooms

This formulation uses highly concentrated Shiitake Extract Ferment Filtrate.

Shiitake is the anti-aging mushroom.  It improves skin elasticity and protects against environmental damage. Shiitake is a biodynamic ingredient. It slows aging by reinforcing the skin’s biological protection mechanisms. [4] It is ideal for protecting sensitive and delicate skin. It also helps restore sun-damaged skin. [5]

Shiitake contains kojic acid. Kojic acid lightens discoloration.

Shiitake contains copper, which stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

Shiitake also contains selenium to decrease irritation and calm inflammation.

Royal Jelly

Royal Jelly is a gelatinous bee product made to feed the queen bee. It is an anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant filled with skin-friendly nutrients. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles. It aids wound healing [6] and skin repair. [7]

Royal Jelly combats sun damage and can promote procollagen type I production. [8]

Royal Jelly

Avena Sativa

Avena Sativa is better known as Oat kernel flour or Collodial Oats. It is soothing to chronic skin conditions such as eczema.

Jojoba Seeds

Simmondsia Chinensis

Simmondsia Chinensis is Jojoba Seed Oil. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba is an exceptionally gentle oil that is excellent for both face and body skin. Jojoba regulates oily skin, removes impurities and dry skin flakes.

Jojoba is soothing to dry, irritated skin and removes acne inflammation.  Jojoba hydrates and softens wrinkles.

Jojoba is also a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients. Jojoba enhances the ingredients it is paired with instead of creating an oily barrier.

Mangifera Indica

Mangifera Indica is Mango Seed Butter.

Mango

Mango

Mango is naturally high in copper. Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production for smoother, more resilient skin.

It’s rich in oleic acid (an omega-9 acid); and the saturated fatty acid stearic acid. These moisturize, tighten, plump and firm the skin. It provides long-lasting moisture.

Mango is also rich in A & C to refine the skin.

Olives benefits the skin

Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate both use the fatty acids of olives

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl Olivate is the fatty acid of Olives combined with a Cetearyl alcohol ester.

Cetearyl attracts and binds moisture.  Cetearyl alcohol is one of the good alcohols that soften, soothe and heal dry skin. It is an emollient.

Olive fatty acids contain Linoleic acid which has a skin-enhancing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect.

A very safe ingredient that emulsifies active ingredients together within a moisturizer.

It is a natural and safe alternative to PEG. It is made of a good alcohol & olive fatty acids.

Sorbitan Olivate

The fatty acid of Olives combined with sugar. Frequently used in combination with Cetearyl Olivate.

The olive fatty acids give deep hydration, smooth skin, and give the product a silky texture.

Grapefruit Peel

Grapefruit Peel Oil

Citrus Grandis

Citrus Grandis is Grapefruit Peel Oil.

Higher in Vitamin C than the fruit itself, Grapefruit Peel oil restores skin, fades discoloration, reduces blemishes and improves skin texture.

Grapefruit Peel Oil also adds an uplifting, refreshing scent to the cream that is an all-natural fragrance.

Tocopherol

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E, a soothing anti-inflammatory. It instantly improves the appearance of skin while improving skin texture over time.

Tocopherol softens skin texture and reduces scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable.

Tocopherol makes rough, sunburned, scarred, or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients are more effective.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural humectant derived from vegetables.

What it does not contain

  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Propylene Glycol

The Experience

Face
Apply daily on face, focusing on areas of aging and dryness. Combined with nightly Le Vesque Luxe CBD Face Cream use, my typically dry sensitive skin is exceptionally soft and supple.

 Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream

Pair the Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream by night with the Luxe Skin cream by day for to maximize the power of restorative power of CBD

Application

One pump covers face and throat. While it absorbs immediately either way, I like to warm it just slightly between two fingers like Creme de la Mer to spread one pump of product over face *and* throat.

Luxe, rich texture with smooth dry down

Luxe, rich texture with a smooth dry down

Feel & Drydown

Since it sinks right in, it isn’t really wet. Drydown just feels like soft skin, not waxy or sticky. My sunscreen and makeup do not pill or run on top of it. It is not oily or tacky so makeup doesn’t run either. I can apply sunscreen and makeup immediately.

Scent

The scent is natural and leafy with a grapefruit top note. The CBD does not have any lingering Hemp aroma. It dries down to a light grapefruit.

I am delighted to find a daytime CBD face cream that has no tell-tale hempy odor. It is completely suitable for daytime use even at the office.

Uses

I also like it as a post-treatment moisturizer.  It immediately restored my skin after over-zealous Retin-A use and is fabulous after exfoliating or doing an at-home Glycolic peel. As a post-peel cream, it restores balance to the skin.

While it absorbs well on its’ own, I love pairing it with a gemstone roller to benefit from every last bit. And it feels wonderful and relaxing.

Body

I have chronic dryness and redness on my hands, especially cuticles and knuckles. My cuticles are often red and peeling normally, and increased handwashing and hand sanitizer use has made it even worse. My cuticles are red, cracked, and raw.

This is a soothing treatment not only for hands but is excellent on dry, chapped elbows.

When my skin looks dull, this helps soothe tired skin and accelerate its natural healing process.

Pair with the body lotion for use on dry or problematic body skin

Texture and Dry down

Just a pump of this thick cream absorbs rapidly into the skin. There is no oily or sticky residue on dry down. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way.

results

My chapped hands and cuticles look and feel better with every use! The effect lasts all day through multiple hand washings.

It is also a highly effective yet non-drying treatment for acne. It’s wonderful to find both an acne and anti-aging treatment that moisturizes skin while simultaneously helping (not irritating) skin conditions like eczema.

Packaging

The opaque pump bottle is airtight to protect precious natural ingredients.  Each pump dispenses 1 ml of cream containing 10mg of CBD.

 

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream

✽
Reputable & Quality CBD

This product uses 500 mg of CBD and can accomplish a great deal.

Have you previously used a CBD skincare product and found it lackluster? Even some boutique brands use subpar versions of CBD (looking at you CBD isolate). If so, you may not have experienced what quality CBD can accomplish.

Le Vesque takes several steps to ensure quality.

How to Identify a Reputable CBD Cream

A study in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that more than sixty percent of online CBD products are mislabeled. [9]

YIKES.

How do you locate a quality CBD skin product?

Actual CBD has high cannabidiol, whereas Hemp Seed Oil has only trace levels.  Choose products that have Certified labs measure the cannabidiol levels to ensure the CBD is actually what it claims.

Independent Lab Testing

A third party independent lab verifies that the product actually contains what the ingredient label claims.  Third party testing indications include a Certification seal, lab report, product specification, or assay.

A CBD manufacturer should make this report available. On the report, look for the CBD levels. You want to see higher levels of CBD and very low levels of THC.

Le Vesque makes the independent lab report test results available right on each product page. Review the Luxe Skin Cream lab report here.

The lab report is the best indicator of CBD quality and cannabidiol levels.

Pre-Measured Dose per Use

Reputable products with generous levels of CBD tend to ensure that the optimal amount of CBD dispenses per pump or application.

There are no formal dose per pump mandates. But if a brand has pre-measured CBD per use, it generally indicates the company wishes to ensure the best CBD experience.

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream dispenses a pre-measured CBD dose by a precise pump design.

Each 50 ml bottle contains 500mg of CBD. Each pump dispenses 1 ml of cream containing 10 mg of CBD.

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream has 10mg of CBD per pump

Extraction Method

High quality CBD oil is obtained by CO2 extraction to ensure quality and consistency. This method is also the cleanest, using no harmful chemicals in processing. It is safer and it retains all of CBD’s healing properties.

Le Vesque uses only CO2 extraction.

Hemp Sourcing

Hemp grown in the USA for health and beauty use must meet certain FDA and Farm Bill standards and regulations.

Le Vesque only uses CBD oil from organic hemp grown on a northern New England family farm.

Le Vesque meets all the criterion for a high-quality, reputable CBD.  It is also cruelty-free, inclusive of all skin types, and it is quite luxurious.

Le Vesque CBD Infused Luxe Skin Cream treats skin conditions other restorative creams cannot. regular use revolutionizes problematic skin.

The Skin Cream works synergistically with all the products in the Le Vesque invigorate range

MY Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream EXPERIENCE

It is a rich, creamy and spreadable texture that dries down smooth and not sticky or tacky.

The smooth texture is tempting to slather. But it is a treatment, so use just a spoonful.

It does not sting. But when I applied it, I could tell it was potent.

How to Use Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream

Apply the cream at night. I use this cream every other night, alternating off with the Mad Hippie Exfoliating Serum. This is potent enough that it should not be layered with other treating topicals.

One spoonful is enough for face and throat

Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream ingredient profile


Triple C

Triple C is a combination of three bio-available Cs:

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is fat-soluble Vitamin C. Its’ fatty acid component penetrates the skin easily. It pairs well with other vitamin C forms for enhanced effectiveness.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

A Vitamin C for sensitive skin, it is a water-soluble Vitamin C derivative. Stable in formulations. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less exfoliating than other Cs but still produces collagen and suppresses melanin formation.

Ascorbyl Glucoside

A stable C derivative that easily penetrates the skin. Research shows once it penetrates the skin it behaves like pure vitamin C offering antioxidant protection, collagen boosting, and fading hyperpigmentation.[1]

Reishi mushrooms

Reishi

Reishi is a kidney-shaped mushroom used for centuries in traditional medicinal practice. It is known as mushroom of immortality.
