CBD for Acne: How It Clears Breakouts Without Damaging Your Skin

Acne is not just clogged pores - it’s an inflammatory skin condition driven by excess oil
production, bacterial imbalance, immune overreaction, and barrier dysfunction.
This is why many traditional acne treatments fail long term.

AQUIOL™ which is our patented and purest CBD extract offers a fundamentally different approach.

Why Traditional Acne Treatments Often Backfire.

• Benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria but strips the barrier
• Retinoids increase irritation before improvement
• Salicylic acid dries skin, triggering rebound oil
• Antibiotics disrupt the microbiome

Clear skin often comes at the cost of damaged skin.

How CBD Treats Acne at the Root.

CBD works by regulating the systems that cause acne:
• Sebum control: reduces oil production in sebaceous glands
• Anti-inflammatory: calms redness and painful breakouts
• Antimicrobial: inhibits acne-causing bacteria
• Barrier protection: prevents over-drying and sensitivity

Unlike harsh actives, CBD does not punish the skin.

Why Aquiol™ Is Different for Acne.

Aquiol formulations are:
• Therapeutically dosed (not cosmetic-level CBD)
• Designed to reach sebaceous glands
• Built around inflammation-first logic
• Suitable for daily, long-term use
Result: clearer skin without rebound breakouts or irritation.
