Q: Whats the Latin name of Horse Chestnut?
A: It's Aesculus Hippocastanum.

Q: What is Horse Chestnut Cream from Planetary Herbals used for?
A: Horse Chestnut Cream is designed to support circulatory health, particularly by strengthening capillaries and promoting normal blood flow. It is commonly used to help improve the appearance of varicose veins and provide relief from discomfort associated with poor circulation. Additionally, it helps moisturise and rejuvenate the skin, making it a versatile solution for overall skin health and vitality.

Q: What are the key ingredients in Horse Chestnut Cream?
A: The key ingredients in Horse Chestnut Cream include Horse Chestnut Extract, which contains aescin, a compound known for its vascular benefits. Butcher’s Broom, which is traditionally used to support blood vessel health and tone the veins, is another important ingredient. Witch Hazel provides soothing and toning effects, while White Oak offers astringent qualities that help tighten the skin. Myrrh is also included for its antioxidant properties, helping to nourish and protect the skin. These ingredients work together to promote healthy circulation and skin appearance.

Q: How does the cream work?
A: The cream uses an advanced liposomal delivery system, which ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed deeply into the skin. This system allows for targeted toning and moisturisation, ensuring that the beneficial properties of the cream penetrate effectively. By enhancing the skin's absorption capabilities, it maximises the benefits of the ingredients, which support circulation, skin health, and overall vitality.

Q: Is this product suitable for all skin types?
A: Yes, Horse Chestnut Cream is suitable for most skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. Its non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily use. However, as with any skincare product, it is always recommended to perform a patch test before using it regularly, especially if you have particularly sensitive skin or allergies.

Q: How do I use the Horse Chestnut Cream?
A: For the best results, apply the Horse Chestnut Cream to the affected area two to three times daily. Simply massage it gently into the skin, focusing on areas where circulation support is needed, such as the legs or areas with varicose veins. Consistent use over several weeks is recommended to achieve optimal results. Patience is key, as the cream works gradually to improve the appearance of the skin and support circulatory health.

Q: How long will it take to see results?
A: The time it takes to see results can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type and the extent of the condition being treated. However, many users report noticeable improvements in skin tone and circulation after approximately 4 to 6 weeks of regular use. For long-term benefits, continued use of the cream is advised.

Q: Is Horse Chestnut Cream safe to use during pregnancy?
A: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using any topical product. While Horse Chestnut Cream is generally considered safe, it is important to consider individual sensitivities or concerns during pregnancy, especially as some herbs may not be suitable for all stages of pregnancy.

Q: Can I use Horse Chestnut Cream alongside other skincare products?
A: Yes, Horse Chestnut Cream can generally be used in conjunction with other skincare products. It is compatible with most lotions, oils, and creams. However, if you are already using other treatments specifically designed for circulatory health or skin conditions, it may be wise to consult a healthcare professional to ensure there are no conflicting ingredients or interactions between products.

Q: What size is the Horse Chestnut Cream, and how long will it last?
A: The Horse Chestnut Cream comes in a 4 oz (113.4 g) tub. Depending on how frequently you use the cream and the size of the area being treated, this should last approximately 4 to 6 weeks. For larger areas of application or more frequent use, you may need to reorder sooner.
