By this point, you've probably tried (or thought about trying) CBD oil in some capacity. You might have even experimented with several CBD oil brands and found some that you love and others that you'd never recommend to a friend.

At the very least, we trust that you've probably seen this wellness and self-care trend popping up E V E R Y W H E R E ... in seltzers and other beverages, in luxe high-end edibles, or even in certain beauty and skincare products. Martha Stewart has even cashed in on the booming CBD market with a line of CBD pet treats inspired by her friend Snoop.

The medical world has barely begun to scratch the surface of the many potential uses of CBD as an alternative, plant-based form of medicine. From the FDA approving a revolutionary CBD-based drug used to treat epilepsy to studies proving that cannabis has helped patients with glaucoma and those suffering from inflammation, one point is becoming increasingly clear: CBD can help people with all sorts of ailments.

What Is CBD, Exactly?

Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a cannabis compound that has significant health and wellness benefits without any of the psychoactive or euphoric properties often associated with marijuana. It’s legal in all 50 states, and it comes in many forms, from topical tinctures, lotions, and salves, to ingestible gummy bears, brownies, and other edible treats.

Here at Best Products, we’re certainly not newbies when it comes to the healing powers of CBD (hell ... you might even say we're a little CBD-obsessed). We've put together a definitive list of our current favorite CBD oil products — and yes, we weeded through some duds that did not meet our criteria.

How We Chose

  • Ingredients: We're only considering products made from full-spectrum CBD oil. Each brand on this list has been through rigorous quality testing, is derived from USA-grown hemp, contains no harsh chemicals or preservatives, and is made from non-GMO ingredients. In short: This list is squeaky clean.

  • Effectiveness: As in, this CBD oil does exactly what it is intended to do. Whether that’s to aid with sleep, help with inflammation, or help squash anxiety ... these products help make us feel better. We've also personally tested and tried every single CBD oil product on this list over the course of 2 years, so there is zero guesswork here.

  • Anti-Hype: We're not choosing these products because we're influenced by pretty packaging or what other people say. We're choosing these CBD oil products because we've personally tried them and because we believe they simply work.

Now that we're on the same page, here is our editor-tested and -approved list of the best CBD oil products for whatever ails you.

For Cocktails

Made with two simple ingredients (coconut oil and hemp extract), the quality of Rosebud CBD Oil is unmatched. Made with full-spectrum CBD oil from hemp plants sun-grown in Oregon, Rosebud CBD Oil contains no herbicides, pesticides, fillers, additives, preservatives, or flavorings. Rosebud is also a female-owned company led by entrepreneur Alexis Rosenbaum, so it gets extra points for badassery there.

This CBD oil tastes and smells like very grassy yet mild weed, it has a dark greenish hue, and it’s our favorite secret ingredient to add to cocktails or mocktails. The taste of this CBD oil is mellow enough for it to be discretely added to virtually any drink, but we think it works especially well in cocktails or mocktails that use other fresh, herbaceous ingredients like muddled cucumber, cilantro, or basil.

Rosebud comes in varying strengths, including 350 milligrams (featured here), 700 milligrams, and 1,500 milligrams, so you can find the right dosage to fit your everyday needs.

For Calm

Created for people who deal with stress and anxiety (aka all of us), these organic CBD oil-infused offerings from Sagely are a healthy and clean way to refocus both mind and body. We love the soothing scent of this Calm & Centered CBD Roll-On, made with lavender oil, bergamot oil, chamomile oil, and, of course, CBD-rich hemp oil.

This is a subtle CBD oil product that you can pop into your purse and roll onto your pulse points or hairline whenever you feel stressed out. You can thank us later.

For Sleep

Can’t sleep? We’d like you to meet our new friend Gossamer Dusk. Dusk is a revolutionary combination of cannabinoids and terpenes engineered to help you get the rest that your mind and body craves. Sourced from high-quality GMO- and pesticide-free hemp, each bottle contains 300 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD, a calming terpene blend, and CBN (short for cannabinol), which is another essential cannabinoid that has been found to promote relaxation.

For Breakouts

There are plenty of beauty products that use hemp seed oil for its anti-aging and blemish-controlling properties, but not many that use actual CBD-rich cannabis oil in its ingredient list. Enter Flora + Bast Age Adapting CBD Serum.

With a clean ingredient list that contains more than 300 milligrams of organic CBD that helps reduce redness, clear blemishes, and restore the skin’s glow, this is one hell of a revolutionary product. Reviewers feel almost immediate hydration after applying this serum to freshly cleansed skin, with some customers claiming that this is the only nonprescription formula that has ever helped break the cycle of excessive redness, dryness, or irritation. Yay for plant power!

For Chronic Pain

Whether you suffer from arthritis, chronic back pain, or stiff, achey joints, CBD can dramatically help reduce inflammation in the body. All of cbdMD's tinctures and gummies are made with superior broad-spectrum CBD sourced from USA-grown hemp farms, and their products also undergo rigorous third-party lab testing to ensure purity and potency.

If you battle chronic pain on a daily basis, consider this 1,500 milligram-strength CBD Oil Tincture from cbdMD. With over 100 positive reviews from consumers who suffer from muscle stiffness, soreness, or joint issues, this CBD oil has the potential to be a total game-changer for chronic pain management.

For the ’Gram

This category is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it’s impossible to leave Lord Jones — the CBD darling of celebrities and social media — off this list, because it actually works. Beyond being chic AF and beautifully packaged, this luxe CBD oil tincture is a delicious sensory treat that comes in both peppermint (featured here) and orange. We love that this tincture is made in small batches and only contains five simple ingredients: grape-seed oil, hempseed oil, lemon oil, hemp oil, stevia, and full-spectrum, phytocannabinoid-rich CBD extract.

This tincture contains 500 milligrams of CBD and is intended to provide relief from pain and anxiety, act as a mood stabilizer, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Praise the lord.

For Anxiety

Whether you struggle with the dreaded Sunday Scaries or are just looking for a natural remedy for mild stress and anxiety, this CBD Tincture from aptly named brand Sunday Scaries is here to the rescue. Each bottle contains 500 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD oil and other good-for-you ingredients like vitamin B-12 and vitamin D-3. If you’re fighting a war against your Saturday hangover or are just feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, this CBD oil will help take the edge off.

Why do we know this? Because we may or may not have brought this particular CBD oil along with us during our last trip to Vegas for the flight back to New York (back in the pre-pandemic days when it was safe to travel). It works.

For Your Pet

Who said pets can't get in on the CBD oil craze, too? Not us! This line of CBD oil from Charlotte's Web is engineered specifically with pets in mind. Using high-quality, full-spectrum CBD mixed with chicken flavor to appeal to our fuzzy friends' taste buds, this CBD oil is great for pets who suffer from separation anxiety, inflammation in tender areas like the hips or joints, seizures, and a whole list of other ailments.

Administered sublingually (under the tongue) or drizzled atop kibble or treats, one dropper of this CBD oil delivers 17 milligrams of CBD per millimeter.

For Intimacy

If your lube doesn't contain CBD, what are you even doing? Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, soothing properties, you can imagine how CBD might intensify solo sexual play or sex with a partner. Foria's best-selling Awaken Intimacy Arousal Oil with CBD works with your body to enhance pleasure, ease discomfort, and help make great sex even better, thanks to a blend of broad-spectrum CBD and organic botanicals, like organic cinnamon, peppermint essential oil, and cacao absolute.

This Arousal Oil smells delicious and is free of any alcohol, petroleum-based ingredients, phthalates, glycerin, parabens, and dyes, so your puss will be one happy camper.

For Focus

For many of us working from home during this pandemic, it can be a serious challenge to focus and form some semblance of a healthy work routine. We love adding Prospect Farms' lemony Awaken Tincture into our morning ritual to help us start our workday on a balanced, invigorated note.

Made with whole-plant cannabinoids and terpenes that specifically target stress and mood elevation, this artisanal blend features limonene citral, cold-pressed olive oil, vitamin E, and full-spectrum CBD derived from organically grown hemp on their farm in Prospect, Maine. Taken with your morning cup of coffee or tea, Awaken helps quite literally wake up your mind and body to start a productive, positive day.
