Dermend Arnica Bruise Cream with Vitamin K - Moisturizer for Bruising on Arms, Legs & Hands - 4.5 Oz

Used twice a day on numerous bruising from frequent lab/blood draws worked perfectly for my husband. It even helped a bruised spot from 2 months prior to fade away fast! Pricey but totally worth every dollar!

This product truly reduces the time bruises are visible without a strong, medicinal odor. The cream itself is a very good moisturizer for skin and nails.

I bruise like crazy. I am on aspirin therapy and I take fish oil and that thins my blood. I am a klutz as well so I am always covered in bruises these days. I was scheduled to have a minor surgical procedure on my nose (Deviated septum repair. Wasn't THAT minor at all actually!) so I stocked up on three different brands of bruise cream. I already knew that Arnicare Gel did nothing to help old or new bruises for me so I went looking for something with more arnica in it. Dermend has 10% as opposed to 7% in Arnicare and many others. Although the tube I bought here came unsealed and I could not use it, I ended up getting it elsewhere before the procedure. This is a white odorless cream which is more like a lotion. It's pretty thin. It would be better in a pump bottle in my opinion. It is very soothing when applied, not greasy, and absorbs pretty quickly. I tried it on some of the bruises on my legs - the place where I always seem to be covered with them - and I did notice that the purple splotches turned lighter and then yellow faster than without using the cream. It didn't miraculously make my bruises disappear but it did help. When I felt as though I was going to get a bruise after knocking into something or bumping against something, I applied the cream right away. That is when I saw the biggest difference. I still got bruises but they were far less noticeable and awful. So, having Dermend and Miracle Plus Arnica Bruise Cream along with a really funky smelling balm that I didn't like, I confidently went into surgery. Ugh. It didn't take long for me to see that I was going to bruise around my eyes and even above my upper lip (and various places on my arms and hands). My nose didn't bruise though so there is that. I used Dermend on one side of my face and the Miracle Plus Cream on the other. Miracle Plus does not disclose the percentage of arnica and that ticks me off. But...it works as well as Dermend on fresh bruises. Both sides of my face seemed to heal at the same rate of speed. The awful purple turned lighter faster than usual and I am still waiting for the yellow areas to go away. Where this cream is better for me is on old bruises. I definitely see better results when I use Dermend on established bruises than when I use Miracle Plus. But on fresh bruises, both work pretty well. Compared to Arnicare Gel, they are amazing. Absolutely nothing happened when I used that and it had a gooey consistency I didn't like. This one is creamy and blends easily. No one knows you have it on your skin and it doesn't have an odor. I will continue to use this on established bruises that just show up out of nowhere before I can catch them. It's quite good for that. But, for half the price, I will use Miracle Plus for new or possible bruises after a bump or slight injury because they work about the same way for me and it is cheaper. In conclusion, based on my personal experience, if you're looking for an effective bruise cream for new bruises, this one works, at least for me. If you're looking for one for older bruises, this also helps but there are others that are cheaper that do about the same thing. Or do like I do and buy this for the new ones and a cheaper cream for the older ones. It definitely saves money. I do feel that I am armed now with a product that will help me not look like I am abuse victim. I am always embarrassed when people ask how I got the bruises I have and then "jokingly" ask me if my husband is tossing me around. No, he isn't. I am tossing me around by just slightly bumping my easily bruised skin against something hard. It's the price I pay to keep blood clots at bay!

With daily use this is by far the best cream I have used to help with bruising on top of my 68-year hands. It does not stop me from bruising, but it does help with healing faster.

As I've aged, 76 next month, my skin is becoming thinner, and I've noticed bruising, without cause, especially on my forearms. This lotion really works to remove them in a couple days or so, and with regular daily use, minimizes their appearance in the first place. I've used it for several months now, formerly purchasing it at Wal-Mart, but their tubes are smaller, sometimes out of stock, and more expensive, ounce for ounce. I recommend it highly.

This works to make bruises go away quickly.

helps with bruises and quickly does the job. Good product use daily!

I really think this works for the hand bruising that you often see on seniors. The only reason I can't 100 percent say it works is that he won't use it consistently. But I do see a huge improvement even with sometimes use. The bruises go away quicker.

Not so good for actinic purpura or crepey skin. Doesn't really claim to be.

J’aimerai partager mon expérience extrêmement positive avec le service à la clientèle de Crystal Gâte CA qui m’a retourné gratuitement un tube de crème alors que le premier envoi a été perdu. La crème Dermend au collagène est par ailleurs parfaite pour mes besoins, ce qui bien sûr ajoute à l’expérience positive que j’ai eu. Merci tout spécial à Maria pour son écoute et son aide !!!

I have tried dozens of lotion, some expensive, some inexpensive, but for the first time in years I actually got results! Now I am 72 and have a problem with bruising my hands which looks terrible, this product was advertised as helping with this problem and improving “mature “ skin, and it does do that to my surprise. Now I have only been using this for about 3 weeks but I do believe I will continue and if it keeps working I will definitely buy this product again, I just wish it was less expensive. I would have given it 5 stars but I need to use it a bit longer I think it will end up with 5 stars. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their skin and are mature 😁

Had bruises on my leg for over 7 years now. Since using this cream they have faded . Great product worth the price.

Softens the skin but bruise on leg is still there
