Abstract

Cannabinoids can be endogenous (endocannabinoids), plant-derived (phytocannabinoids), or synthesized (synthetic cannabinoids). They are being used for the management of several medical conditions. Laboratory and preliminary clinical studies suggest that topical cannabinoids may be beneficial for the treatment of acne and for skin rejuvenation. (SKINmed. 2021;19:-0).
