Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil

You're stressed, your skin's stressed, and then your stressed skin is making you even more stressed. Well, Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil (£42) must be doing something right, because it earned more than 20,000 loves from Sephora shoppers. It's a full-spectrum CBD, which means it includes a total range of cannabinoids, and the presence of small amounts of THC (less than 0.3 percent) results in an "entourage effect." Think of this as power in numbers as all the cannabinoids work together to be extra effective at calming redness and boosting hydration. Plus, it has ashwagandha, another herb that helps skin cope with lack of sleep, daily stress, pollution, and more.
