Arnicare Bruise Cream

I bought this and the gel because I kept getting large bruises from hockey pucks during my hockey games. I put the gel on first and then this for extra potency and I am not going to lie I was shocked by how well this worked. My bruises (even old very prominent ones) were about 50-75% better after first applying. It really helps with discoloration and made me feel more comfortable wearing shorts again with large bruises on my legs. I kept applying for several days and the discoloration was nearly gone. The lump from the bruise was still there where I could feel it but all of the colors had faded. I highly recommend this for athletes or anyone looking to heal bruises quickly. I do prefer the gel only because it dries faster, but I do combine both when getting out of the shower whenever possible because I do think they work well together also after the gel dries. I feel i can rub the lotion in more than the gel

I recently used Arnicare after getting a pretty bad bruise from a fall during yoga, and I was honestly impressed with how effective it was. I applied it consistently, and within a few days I noticed the bruising and soreness improving much faster than I expected. It helped reduce the tenderness and discoloration significantly. I also used a hot compress along with the Arnicare, which seemed to help with circulation and easing the discomfort. The combination worked really well for me. Overall, I highly recommend Arnicare! 😄

Now that I’ve had it for about 6 months and used it several times I feel I can give a decently informed review. Arnica has 3 marketed functions: alleviation of pain, discoloration, and swelling from bruises. Thus, I feel these functions need to be addressed separately. Pain - 4/5, noticeable decrease in pain next day after slathering cream on. Diminishing marginal returns with repeated use. Discoloration- 3/5 I can’t tell to be honest. Maybe? It won’t magically heal bruises overnight obviously. The “ugly” purple discoloration disappeared within a couple uses (over 1-2 days), but hard to say if that would’ve happened anyway. As with any normal bruise, it does stay at the light brown/green stage for a while, and the cream hasn’t shown much efficacy with speeding that process up. However, important to note that, at this stage, I felt very little pain when pressing on bruises treated with this cream compared to equivalent non treated bruises. Swelling- 5/5 this is the real value in my opinion. Not only have I noticed this working on bruises, but I like to put it under my eyes after a bad night of sleep and the puffiness goes down significantly within a couple hours. To be clear, it does not diminish hyperpigmentation, a different component of dark circles (you would need retinal or something similar for that) but the puffiness and swelling are reduced quickly and tremendously.

These photos were taken exactly 13 days apart. Got a nasty black eye at work and wanted this gone ASAP. I applied this throughout the day, every day. Sometimes I’d also apply the arnica gel extra strength (also on Amazon) along with it for a little extra pain relief, but this cream has been a game changer. Can barely notice the bruise at all anymore. I’ve got my face back! Highly recommend.

Boiron Arnicare Bruise Cream for Pain Relief is a gentle and effective option for reducing bruising and discomfort. The cream absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It helps minimize swelling and discoloration when applied consistently. I like that it’s fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. Overall, it’s a reliable choice for natural-looking bruise care and mild pain relief.

I used this for bruises after a tummy tuck and this quickly made them go away. The cream is not oily and applies and dries quickly.

Got this before my injections. It’s a cream but not sticky. I used 3 times a day before and after my injections to reduce bruising. It helped and was easy to use.

Have been using it regularly for a month. I see no change yet ..will finish the bottle and see how it goes
