Reply to comment by Ecnassianer in Study Finds "CBD Might be Beneficial in Alleviating UVB-Induced Skin Damage in Humans" by BoundariesAreFun

“The CBD cream improved the skin's condition by lowering the photodamage scores, reducing abnormal skin proliferation, and decreasing expression of the inflammation-related protein cyclooxygenase-2 in UVB-irradiated skin tissue. These findings indicate that CBD might be beneficial in alleviating UVB-induced skin damage in humans. The photoprotective effects of CBD might be attributed to its modulatory effects on redox homeostasis and autophagy.”

I’m copying this from another comment that copied the abstract of the article. You have a really good question, I wasn’t sure either but after reading this I think the CBD cream was used like an after sun.

Sunscreen with CBD seems like it'd be a home-run product for people that are on the CBD bandwagon.

Though CBD lotions are pretty good for just general lotion uses anyway (as long as the lotion is good quality and isn't greasy.)

That would be what I would assume from the word "alleviating", rather than, say, mitigating or preventing. But it's pretty bad that the wording is so unclear that the question has to be asked. That seems like a pretty basic thing to want to know.

I've read about treating certain skin cancers with CBD oil and they healed off completely.

Not sure how valid those results/experiences were though.

I'm not going to say that's impossible... but it doesn't sound likely.

Hmm check this study:

*In mice, with sample sizes ranging from 5-10 among 6 different studies.

While interesting, it definitely warrants much more data, with larger human trials before a strong correlation can be stated.

Definitely, but that's why I said the above. I've seen it mentioned here and there over the years. That study with the first google result btw.. At least it seems promising.
