As of this review, an exclusive and official Calendula Lotion website seems to be unavailable. The manufacturer has its own official website, as per which some of the following ingredients are included: Purified Water, PEG 6-32 Stearate (And) Glycol Stearate, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone. We note that the product is not promoted as a specific formula for varicose and spider veins.

We wonder at formulas that have common ingredients. We acknowledge that sometimes such commonality may be because the ingredient may really have some effect. However, we believe that most times, manufacturers wish to play it safe. They may be trying to cash in on hype, or to just churn out a potentially bland and harmless product. In any case, the fact that the product is not promoted for varicose and spider veins may itself speak volumes about its effectiveness.

As of review, there are two prevalent ways of getting rid of varicose and spider veins formations. One method is to use laser, or IPL therapy, and possibly even some other surgical techniques. Another is to use medication-based formulas, like FDA-approved supplements. The third approach may be to just cover ourselves up and hope that the veins do not show.

In order to search for the best products that may reduce the formation of varicose and spider veins, it is necessary to understand how they are formed. One thing to note about varicose veins and spider veins is that they are abnormalities with a specific cause – weakening of the valves in veins responsible for regulating the direction of the blood flow. As such, they probably require a specific treatment that gets to work directly within and strengthens the valves.

• Is a skin lotion that may reduce skin irritation and sunburn

• Product does not have official and exclusive website at time of review
• Is not promoted to reduce spider and varicose veins
• Does not contain proven ingredients, like Diosmin 95®
• Is not a supplement that may get to work from within

Therefore, an alternative may be research other products. Actually, there already are some supplements created specifically to reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. We find a trustworthy and safe product will be FDA-approved and will come with a guarantee. Moreover, products with proven track records will have advanced and approved ingredients.

Since varicose and spider veins are quite common problems, medical annals and research have already looked at them exhaustively. A direct benefit of such meticulous studies on the problem has been the tremendous growth in methods to reduce them. While surgical techniques may be an option, they may be expensive and potentially come with risk. Therefore, for many of us, trying a supplement with proven ingredients like, for instance, Diosmin 95®, which has already been used by millions in Europe, may be the answer.
