KOI CBD Gummies

HEAT by UK-CBDOILS
By Kyle Bednall
I was excited to finally try a CBD product
that wasn’t vape related. After all you
can pretty much get CBD everything
these days. I knew what to expect when
using a heated muscle relief cream/gel
because I use these kinds of products
after tough gym sessions when my body
is recovering. After taking the lid off, I
was immediately surprised by the colour
and consistency. I was expecting your
usual standard white, pale cream, but no,
you can tell off the mark this a naturally
made product with earthy tones. To me, it
resembles a natural peanut butter colour,
with the consistency of a balm which was
surprising. It felt very light on my skin
as I used some after working out at the
gym around an area on my arm (bicep)
I had been working, and left the other
arm for comparison. I did get a heated
sensation after a few minutes and as the
minutes went by, the heat element did
ease the muscle strain bit by bit. Some
people are really into natural looking or
natural smelling products, but there was
a brown residue left on my fingers every
time I used it, but this was easily washed
off. I also enjoyed that the jar was filled
to the brim with the product! Not like
some tubs which you open and you
have to peer inside to find the product.
Very easy to apply, a great little heat rub
for me.
KOI say they are ‘America’s best tasting
CBD gummies’ - they could be right!
These delicious gummies provide a punch
of tropical fruit in the flavours of lime,
tangerine and acai pomegranate. They are
so truly tasty that they basically have no
bitter hemp aftertaste so often associated
with edibles. Instead, leaving a pleasant fruit
taste in your mouth to make you want more.
They’re almost identical to what I used to
pick up in the shop, so there’s that added
nostalgia element too. What’s my favourite
flavour? The red pomegranate flavour is
without a doubt my personal favourite. The
sweetness leaves a berry like after taste on
the tongue and I’m a berry fan.
Unlike many CBD gummies I’ve tried before,
these gummies aren’t sprayed with CBD.
Instead, they mix and roll a full-spectrum
CBD blend into the gummies three times to
give an even distribution of CBD. KOI could
be on to something with this, they definitely
give you a lasting CBD experience. I would
definitely recommend you try these if you’re
just getting into CBD and you have a sweet
tooth.
SKIN CREAM by UK-CBDOILS
By Victoria Smith
Skins creams are something that, come winter
time, I spend a lot of money on. So, when I
was asked to review UK-CBD oils’ skin cream
I jumped at the chance to see if it would be
something which could help combat that dry,
irritated feeling my skin gets this time of year.
When opening the jar you get a strong smell
of hemp, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
It smells natural and to me it means there
hasn’t been a ton of additives included to
try and mask the smell or make the product
something it’s not. It is also filled to the brim
with the cream, definitely getting every bit
of product possible into the jar, which is
something you don’t see much in packaging
lately. After using the cream for a couple of
days as a hand cream I noticed my skin felt a
lot more moisturised, and it’s not drying out
as much every time I wash my hands, which
is something that would usually occur. The
cream is slightly gritty in texture, which also
exfoliates as it moisturises and leaves your
hands feeling soft without being greasy like
some creams. I definitely recommend using
this cream, the only downside is the smell,
which you stop noticing after the first time
you pop open the lid. This is completely
overlooked by the fact that I haven’t had to
reapply a different cream all day, which saves
time and money. Bonus!
