Arnica Gel Plus 15 Healing Plant Compounds, Extra Strength Formula for Bruising, All-Natural Plant-Based Topical Gel, 2-Pack

I recently got a nasty black eye, and icing it then warm compress wasn't helping. I found this Arnica gel, and compared it (same amount of product) with the best rated Arnica from my local pharmacies. The other gels were half the price, but only contained 3 of the 15 ingredients this gel has. In short, this gel is twice the price but contains *five* times the herbs and critical ingredients. That's easy math from a cost vs benefits standpoint. I am attaching photos from Day 2, when I started using it, and Day 12. The immediate care nurse told me to expect a 4-5 week recovery, but as you can see from the photos, my skin and bruises healed in a fraction of that time! I own and operate my own business and meet with clients frequently. Everyone asking about it wears thin quickly. The directions were easy to understand: apply a **thin** coat 2-3 times daily. Similar to liquid bandaid, it will form a "skin", so I washed my face before each application for best absorption. I'm also trying to upload a short how-to video, showing my technique for avoiding getting this gel close to but not into eyes. It contains Ethanol and Benzyl Alcohol to keep the product germ-free, and it will burn/sting badly if it gets in your eye (yes, I learned this the hard way, so hopefully my video helps you avoid that!). VitaMedica has an excellent reputation in the homeopathic industry for using quality ingredients and manufacturing processes. This gel works well on any bruise, pain, or swelling when the skin is unbroken. Arnica with this mix is also great for Insect bites and many other minor injuries. Short version: Not all Arnica gels are the same. This gel has multiple herbs for pain relief that are missing from brick-n-mortar stores. Until the first application, I couldn't sleep because of the pain. On the whole, I strongly recommend spending the extra money to buy this gel. Look at the photos of my black eye's rapid healing, and decide for yourselves.

This product really works - for pain, swelling and bruising.

I started using this after I fell and bruised under my eye, and I was surprised by how gentle it felt and how quickly it absorbed. It is not greasy, has no pungent smell, and it feels calming on the skin. What impressed me is that with steady use, the bruise has been slowly fading, and the area feels less tender. It is not instant magic, but it truly helps the healing process along. Whom this is right for: anyone dealing with bruising, swelling, or soreness who wants something soothing and supportive. What buyers should know: Use it consistently and give it a little time. It has definitely helped me.

Very good product, feels nice going on and dies provide some relief

This cream works wonders. Has ingredients to help with swelling, brushing, and inflammation. I use it when I have sore muscles or bruising and better within a day. Used it for when I sprained my ankle and recovery was faster with this cream.

I am so happy that I bought this product it works so quickly, it only takes a small amount as suggested, there’s no smell or skin irritation. It’s a good value for the price. I highly recommend the product!

I know this works, but it cause my skin to itch. I never thought I was that sensitive to anything, but maybe i am. I prefer the sublingual pills

Quality product have used similar products with good results, but allow it to take time.
