VitaMedica Recovery Cream

It’s important to note that this Arnica + Vitamin K Oxide Cream works, but it does so very slowly and you have to be diligent in applying it three times a day. You will also need to make sure that you don’t just rub it superficially on the top layer of your skin, but take the time to massage it in. It does work, but it takes its time doing so. In my experience, it absolutely works faster than allowing a bruise to fade on its own, but it’s not a “Poof! It’s gone” kind of thing. There’s no scent to this product and I didn’t experience any skin sensitivity or irritation. It’s also a nice texture. The cream is quite expensive so if you know that you will not be able to commit to the process necessary for results, save your money and just let your bruise fade on its own. This is a win!

I'm mixed with a south asian skin type, I have a bad habit of squeezing bumps. I recently caused a light mark on my nose and this cleared it up in 2 days. Keep in mind that this does not treat hyper-pigmentation/melasma/dark spots!

I did a severe face plant. 2 black eyes and purple streak that went down to my throat. I applied faithfully 3xs a day as recommended. I could see a change daily. Perhaps time on my side too. Very small tube, like Neosporin, but tiny amount goes long way. Not oily or heavy. One tube is all I needed.

Works well but the tube is tiny.

I bought this to use after having Botox and filler in hopes I wouldn’t bruise and thanks to it and the amazing person who did the injections I didn’t get one bruise. I also used it after microneedling and it healed everything in a day!
