Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a clinical condition characterized by several legs symptoms: telangiectasias, reticular veins, varicose veins, edema, pigmentation, eczema, lipodermatosclerosis, white atrophy and ulcers. These symptoms are often associated with tired and heavy legs, leg pain, itching, legs and ankles swelling. This report analyzes the usefulness of a cream based on blackberry, Centella asiatica, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E and Melilotus (Flavofort 1500® legs cream) to relieve leg symptoms in CVI. A group of 35 subjects (7 men and 28 women) with legs symptoms applied Flavofort 1500® legs cream on the legs, twice a day for 10 days. The symptoms were evaluated with a patient questionnaire at 4 steps: T0 (before cream application), T1 (just after first application), T2 (5 days after first application) and T3 (10 days after first application). A reduction of subjects (%) with legs symptoms was observed both after 5 day and after 10 days.
