Is the cream suitable for people with sensitive skin or an intolerance to menthol? — Horse Chestnut and Field Horsetail Foot Cream 250ml - Home Doctor

Menthol and camphor are active ingredients with a pronounced effect. In most people they cause a pleasant cooling sensation, but those who are prone to reactions to these substances or have very sensitive skin may experience mild burning or redness.

Before the first full use, it is recommended to apply a small amount of the cream to a limited area of skin, for example the inside of the ankle, and wait 20–30 minutes. If there is no reaction, the product can be used as normal.

If you have marked irritation, open skin damage or diagnosed skin conditions, it is better to avoid using it or to consult a specialist first. This is a cosmetic product, not a medicine, and if discomfort persists or there is noticeable swelling, you should see a doctor.

People who generally tolerate menthol-containing products well (for example, cooling gels or foot balms) usually tolerate this cream well. If you have sensitive skin or an allergy to the ingredients, and also for children and during pregnancy, it is best to consult a specialist first.
