What is Horse Chestnut Extract?

Horse chestnut extract is a powerful botanical extract derived from the seeds, leaves, and bark of the Aesculus hippocastanum tree, native to the Balkans and Asia, which has been valued in the cosmetic industry for many years. Thanks to the saponins, flavonoids, and tannins it contains, it has a rich phytochemical profile that protects the skin against the damaging effects of external factors. Lacinia incorporates this unique natural wonder into its advanced formulations to help the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more energetic. Horse chestnut extract is one of the most precious cosmetic ingredients nature offers, particularly for balancing tone unevenness on the skin surface and providing the skin with a natural vitality.

Benefits in Skincare

This valuable extract is a wonderful cosmetic support focused on soothing sensitivity on the skin surface and evening out skin tone. While it helps the skin look more rested, refreshed, and vibrant, it is frequently preferred for brightening areas that require special care, such as the under-eye area. With regular use, it improves the overall texture of the skin, leaving a silky feel.

Instantly refreshes tired and stressed skin, giving the skin a rested appearance.
Brightens dark appearances under and around the eyes, supporting a brighter and more awake look for the skin.
Deeply nourishes the skin and revitalizes it against the worn-out appearance caused by external factors.
Moisturizes and refreshes skin texture, and gently softens the upper layer of the skin.

How to Use?

Horse chestnut extract is generally found in Lacinia products in the form of serums, eye creams, and body lotions. When used in facial care, applying it to cleansed skin with circular massage movements offers a revitalizing effect and increases absorption. If it is to be used on sensitive areas such as the under-eye, the most accurate method is to gently pat the product into the skin using the ring finger. At the same time, when applied to body care products, especially by gently massaging the legs from bottom to top at the end of the day, it instantly relaxes the skin and revitalizes it by providing a feeling of freshness.

Who Can Use It?

Horse chestnut extract is generally compatible with all skin types and is an ideal option, especially for tired, pale, and dull-looking skin. Users of all age groups who need brightness around the eyes, want to even out their skin tone, and wish to add vitality to their skin can comfortably include this ingredient in their skincare routines. It is a balancing cosmetic ingredient that appeals to a wide range of users, including those with sensitive skin.

Things to Consider

The product is for external cosmetic use only. In case of any potential personal sensitivity to the active botanical extracts in the content, it is recommended to test it on a small area of the skin before the first use. It should not be applied directly to irritated or broken skin, and it should be added to the routine by adhering to the product usage instructions.
