Why It Is Special
Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream is an all natural, luxurious face cream. It addresses aging and skin imperfections. This cream combines CBD with natural anti-aging, restorative and refining skincare ingredients. The result? Younger, smoother and more vibrant skin.
You’ve probably seen CBD Skincare trending at beauty boutiques. But before investing in any luxury face cream, it is worth fully investigating if the primary active ingredient meets your skincare needs.
Le Vesque uses Full Spectrum CBD oil. This has some distinct advantages.
What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil?
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It comes in a few forms. CBD isolate is when just the cannabidiol is extracted from the plant, generally using harsh chemicals that strip the beneficial terpenes. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains all the beneficial compounds found in hemp, but without the psychoactive properties. It contains Cannabigerol, AKA CBG. CBG is a skin-care workhorse. CBG kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and treats skin problems like psoriasis. CBG is difficult to extract, so a Full-spectrum CBD is a great way to get CBG benefits. [1] It also contains all the anti-oxidants. But most importantly, Full-spectrum CBD oil is packed with skin-friendly cannabidiol. And it contains very, very low traces of THC. It won’t get you high or make you feel altered.
Differentiating CBD, Hemp Seed oil & Cannabis Sativa seed oil
While they all come from the same plant, Hemp Seed oil or Cannabis Sativa seed oil isn’t the same thing as CBD oil. CBD oil is extracted from hemp leaves and flowers. It’s a light oil that absorbs quickly. I would compare CBD Oil to Hemi-Squalene in viscosity. Hemp Seed Oil is thicker, heavier and greasier, more like Olive or Avocado. Hemp seed oil only contains trace amounts of cannabidiol. While Hemp oil is useful, it isn’t as restorative or effective as cannabidiol-rich CBD. CBD has many anti-aging and skin restorative benefits. Cannabidiol reduces:
- Inflammation, including inflammation due to chronic inflammatory conditions [2,3]
- Acne
- Skin sensitivity
- Wrinkles
- Skin dullness
- Ruddy skin tone
- Excess sebum [4]
- Eczema and Psorarsis [5]
Le Vesque products contain only USA-grown CBD that’s C02 extracted and third party tested. |
In addition to the highly restorative Full Spectrum CBD, Le Vesque CBD Infused Luxe Face Cream contains fantastic anti-aging, texture-refining ingredients. They work together to improve skin texture, clarity, and structure, while offering superior hydration. Let’s take a look.
INGREDIENT PROFILE
Algae Extract
Algae Extract is packed with skin essential vitamins and minerals. It conditions, hydrates, softens, detoxifies skin while refining texture. The amino acids neutralize free-radicals while improving skin barrier function. Polyphenols offer anti-aging benefits. [6]
Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil
Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil comes from the Cannabis sativa plant. It is restorative. CBD Oil is high in Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D. [7]
The Omegas and Vitamin D give skin a lovely glow! The Cannabidiol in CBD is an excellent anti-inflammatory that helps soothe acne. [8]
As this is a full-spectrum CBD, it contains Cannabigerols. CBG is exceptionally restorative, even on sun-damaged skin. This cream contains 200mg of CBD.
Mangifera Indic
Mangifera Indica is Mango. The Mango Seed Butter in this formulation provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it is perfect to keep skin hydrated and dewy overnight. Mango is high in copper. Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production within the skin. Copper is rare within skincare products because extraction is costly. A natural ingredient high in copper is a great addition to this formulation! Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K and B6. These refine the skin and fade discoloration.
Glycerin
Vegetable-based Glycerin is a natural humectant. It attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
Citrus Grandis
Citrus Grandis is Grapefruit, in this case, Grapefruit Peel Oil. Grapefruit Peel Oil is high in collagen-producing Vitamin C. It has antibacterial benefits and studies show it reduces acne.[9] As with other citrus oils, it is an antioxidant with an uplifting scent.
Royal Jelly
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid sounds like a chemical, but it is the extracted fat of royal jelly. Royal Jelly is the gelatinous substance bees make to feed the queen bee. It enables wound healing and skin repair. [10]
Studies show Royal Jelly combats sun damage and has the capacity to promote collagen production. [11]
This anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant is filled with skin-friendly nutrients. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
Camellia Sinensis Leaf are the leaves of Green Tea. Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [12]
High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea promotes skin health and appearance. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells. This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [13]
Retinyl Palmitate
Retinyl Palmitate is a form of Vitamin A. This antioxidant found naturally in our skin. Retinyl Palmitate helps with wrinkles and fine lines. It promotes cell regeneration. It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper.
Vitamin A’s can cause some topical skin irritation. The omegas in the CBD and other buffering ingredients within this formulation ensure that it will not cause peeling or irritate the skin. If your skin is too sensitive to tolerate retinol, consider this formulation as a viable option.
Cetearyl Olivate
Cetearyl Olivate is a combination of the ester of Cetearyl Alcohol and the fatty acids from Olives. It is not drying because Cetearyl Olivate is moisture attracting and retaining. Olive oil fatty acids have skin-enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols. These make skin glow! Cetearyl Olivate will not clog pores.
Sorbitan Olivate
Sorbitan Olivate is a combination of the fatty acids of olives and a fruit-based sugar alcohol. It is commonly paired with Cetearyl Olivate to lend a creamy consistency. Moisturizing.
Vitis Vinifera
Vitis Vinifera is Grape Seed Oil. Grape Seed Oil is nourishing to the skin and contains building blocks for collagen production. Grape Seed Oil contains very high antioxidant levels to protect the skin against UV damage.
High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging.
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
Capric Triglyceride naturally occurs in palm kernel or coconut oil. It is a mixed ester composed of caprylic and capric fatty acids attached to glycerin.
Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a natural skin replenishing emollient that creates a barrier on the skin’s surface, which helps to reduce skin dryness by decreasing the loss of moisture. [14]
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients with no reported toxicity, it is safe enough to be food grade.
What it does Not contain
- Formaldehyde
- Parabens
- Phthalates
- Propylene Glycol
- Sulfates

The Experience
Texture
Le Vesque CBD Infused Luxe Face Cream has the consistency of a thick, rich mousse.
It has a rich texture but doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.
Application Feel & Dry-down
It absorbs rapidly into the skin, practically melting. There is no oily or sticky residue on dry down.
scent
The scent is natural and leafy with a grapefruit top note. The CBD does not have any lingering Hemp aroma.
Use
It is intended for face. But I also like to use it on the throat and decolletage. It is ideal for nighttime use. My skin stays well hydrated overnight.
Texture closeup: this much covers face, throat and decolletage.
TIP: For a relaxing nighttime treat, pat Face Cream on then treat yourself to a gemstone roller face and neck massage to really help every last drop penetrate the skin. So relaxing!
Just a dab from this one ounce jar works quickly for spot treatment.
Result
Skin appears instantly more supple. It does not feel heavy or the skin, yet my skin is well hydrated in the morning.
Acne inflammation is dramatically reduced overnight. Dry skin patches are smoothed.

ABOUT THIS POST

Natasha says
So pretty!
Style Chicks says
We agree!
Matt Rizzo says
I use Cbd oil for my acne and razor burn but its’ greasy after. How strong is the grapefruit smell? Is girlie smelling or just fruity? Thx. – MR
Style Chicks says
Good question Matt!
I feel the scent dissipates a few or two after drydown. So it is not a lingering fragrance or perfumed cream. So a guy can use this without feeling “girlieâ€.
That being said, it is highly moisturizing and fights irritation. Hope this helps.
Ella Murphy says
Cbd is SO good for skin
Style Chicks says
Absolutely Ella!
We love that the CBD in Le Vesque is CO2 extracted and clean, plus full-spectrum for all the great healing and restorative benefits.
Lydia O says
I hate treating acne and wrinkles at the same time. Cbd is a godsend
Style Chicks says
Isn’t CBD amazing, Lydia? Who knew we’d be still treating acne by the time we’d be fighting wrinkles!
I love that Le Vesque is a gentle, non-drying acne treatment that leaves skin so soft.
Jessy says
I love this cream!!! Smells amazing and it’s so smooth and refreshing on my skin. With so much hand washing it’s has been healing my chapped hands well. I also tried face cream at night and my face just feels amazing makeup applies so much better with my skin being smoother now.
Style Chicks says
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Jessy!
We were so impressed with how smoothly makeup applies over this cream as well!
Lori says
💗💗
Style Chicks says
We agree!
Daniel J Nieves says
The cream is so amazing!!!
Style Chicks says
We agree! Thanks for sharing your experience, Daniel!
Nadia Gibson says
How does it compare to a CBD oil? Thank you
Style Chicks says
Good question, Nadia!
I expected this to be a bit slippery feeling but it is not. While some CBD oils feel like a dry oil, I still feel Le Vesque absorbs and dries down better. It feels more like it becomes part of the skin than sitting on top of the skin. There is no dry down time before sunscreen or makeup application.
I prefer the cream to an oil to prime skin before makeup.
Hope
Maria says
I’ve tried different products over the years, especially because I have extra sensitive skin. I swear my makeup drawer looked like a drug store lol. I had a cream for dark spot treatment, one for wrinkles one for my horrible acne, and another cream to brighten up my skin.
I try to stay diligent with my skin care routine, but using so many products kind of discouraged me from being consistent. I thought I’d try something new and got their face cream about a month ago and it’s been amazingðŸ˜
The face cream’s been helping with my skin issues and I can see a huge difference in the scarring and acne I had on my face before.
I’m thinking of trying the skin cream next. Love the scent btw!
Style Chicks says
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Maria!
Some of the ladies here at Style Chicks have sensitive skin as well. It makes it so difficult to treat acne AND signs of aging at the same time. One thing that discourages me about multiple products is the more products you have to use, the more risk of some combination of ingredients will cause skin irritation. It is so great to find a product that treats multiple problems at once!
We think you will love the Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream! If I had to just get one Le Vesque product, I think I’d pick the Skin Cream because it treats everything on face and body.
Tyler Avery says
I saw this product at the Wodapalooza crossfit competition a couple months ago. I’m always training hard and needed something for sore muscles after my workouts . Been using the body cream to help with the soreness and I really like it.
Style Chicks says
Thanks for sharing your experience, Tyler!
We love the idea of CBD for natural, safe post workout relief.
Jasmine says
I’m in love with this face cream! Its smooth and not greasy like most face creams and it smells amazing. I love all natural products so this is amazing!
Style Chicks says
Hey Jasmine!
We love natural as well, especially when several skin-friendly ingredients are combined together like in this product.
We were also so impressed it wasn’t greasy. Actually, none of the Le Vesque products we tried were greasy at all.
