Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream - Tonifier for Tissues and Vein Appearance - 2 oz

Best thing for aching sore knees and legs also helps with swelling of varicose veins.

Good for veins

I have developed poor circulation in my legs and had been waking up with pain in my legs as a consequence. I had tried Horse Chestnut before as a capsule but it upsets my stomach so I decided to try a cream instead. The active ingredients of a topical cream can enter the bloodstream if the particles are small enough, which is what the liposomal delivery is referring to. Well, this cream had a beneficial effect on my leg pain from day one and continues to keep the morning pain at bay. The witch hazel in this product also does a pretty good job of shrinking the visible spider veins, although that affect is temporary. The only caveat I have for this product is the smell, and it's a smell that sneaks up on you. The scent when you open the jar is medicinal, kind of like Vick's Vapo Rub, with a whiff of the nettles evident on second sniff. Not an Aveda-like botanical smell, but not awful either. But that scent develops into something else altogether the longer it stays on your legs. Later in the night that smell gets strong enough to wake you from a cold sleep. It is not a nice smell at all. If you can tolerate that then you will love this product. It does help. Applying a little baby powder does make the smell die down enough to go back to sleep.

Just ordered my second jar. I can't tell if it's helping the appearance of my spider veins yet, but it definitely makes my legs feel better. I recently suffered a broken ankle, and this stuff has helped me.So much with the pain and discoloration. I will be ordering againWhy did you pick this product vs others?:Great stuff

This cream feels great on my legs—the cooling effect is especially nice before bed, and I actually like the light herbal smell. It absorbs well and is pleasant to use. That said, I haven’t noticed any visible changes in the appearance of my veins yet. Still, it’s a nice, soothing cream for tired legs.

Helps with swelling in my husbands feet.

I have one small spider/varicose vein on m y leg. This did not help at all. Useless.Also, it stinks. Like a urine odor.

This is some of the best cream I've ever used, and I've used A LOT of different products. I rarely EVER sit down. So, at the end of the day. My legs are so tired and hurting. This cream doesn't smell the best yet not the worst either. It's definitely worth it though and the cost can't be beat for what it does. As of today,it's going on subscribe & save. I should have actually done that months ago. Give this a shot. You won't regret it.
