We are so excited to introduce you to Le Vesque, a truly impressive line of CBD skincare.
Choosing CBD Skincare: You, Me and CBD
As ingredient-obsessed bloggers, we know CBD holds amazing restorative abilities. It treats skin conditions that seem hopeless: acne, aging, eczema, and psoriasis. CBD is in some trendy skincare lines.
But many CBD products miss the mark in texture and leave us greasy. And many smell, well, like a Cheech & Chong inspired frat party. Or have a distinct burly man from the woods aroma.
But the real problem is there’s some dubious CBD out there. A study in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that more than sixty percent of online CBD products are mislabeled. [1]
Even some boutique and luxury brands use subpar, chemically stripped CBD. That depletes CBDs best healing properties, making for lackluster CBD skincare. But CBD can accomplish SO MUCH. If other creams have failed your skin, don’t give up on CBD.
Le Vesque Invigorate Collection contains grapefruit scented CBD creams with no greasy drydown
Fortunately, a quick investigation reveals the good CBD from the not so good. And once you try a product with high-quality CBD, it is a game-changer.
So we’re delighted to discover that Le Vesque gets CBD skincare right.
Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream contains 500mg of full-spectrum CBD. It treats aging, acne and skin conditions like eczema.

Once we experienced Le Vesque, we had to learn more about the brand itself. So we asked the Le Vesque founders the story behind the amazing formulations. Without further ado, we present the Le Vesque backstory.
About Le Vesque
Our Story
Where did it begin?
Le Vesque Luxe was born of associations in a business law course at the University of Connecticut. Two of the co-founders, Mike and Joe, are prior service veterans and entrepreneurs who were looking to start a business that served a real need. Little did they know that Chris, their MBA business law professor, and CEO of Le Vesque Luxe, was a seasoned entrepreneur committed to helping students and veterans start businesses.
In 2018, we rallied around an earnest desire to create products answering the needs of underserved markets. Fueled by insights from Juan & Priya, we identified the need for inclusive cosmetics owing to the seeming invariable tendency for firms to develop products principally for a narrow slice of the population. We learned that most cosmetics contain nasty chemicals, with very few products available that were both all-natural and inclusive of different skin tones and types. The racial and ethnic diversity of our own family backgrounds demanded that we do it differently, more invitingly.
Why CBD?
December 2018, saw passage of the Farm Bill, heralding the potential development of meaningful health and beauty aid products benefitting from the incredible nature of CBD oil. This piqued our interest sincerely, as Joe’s sister has battled Crohn’s disease for over 15 years with medical CBD conferring great results over that time. Further research indicated that CBD could serve as a wonderful ingredient for skincare products owing to so many of its tremendous properties (moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and so forth). We therefore set out to formulate a line of CBD skincare topicals for all skin types, comprised of full-spectrum, organically-grown CBD, coupled with the most natural and effective ingredients available.
How about the products?
We strive to stay true to our mission ”personally developing all-natural, inclusive products with the very finest and most effective ingredients. Products that we are proud to have our own families use. After many months of development, our first set of products is now available to your families, as well.”
Stay tuned this week for our full-feature coverage on three products from the Le Vesque range. We discuss our experience, the ingredients, CBD research, and share research on how to choose a reputable CBD skincare product.
We think you will be as impressed as we are!
