Review (4/5): Rose scenting is closer to unisex, which is good.
You can't find any videos on line about how to use for bruises, probably because you aren't supposed to, so I experimented. I have a chronic health issue that requires blood tests quite often and injections several times a year. With that many pokes, inevitably there will be a few that bruise when they miss the vein on the first try. It can look like I am some sort of drug addict when wearing short sleeves and makes me very self conscious.
When using this, I applied it generously to the surface of the bruise, using a q-tip. I did it twice a day, for two days on a horrifically dark bruise that even had a raised, hardened line about a quarter inch in it. No idea why, maybe they were searching and scraped along the inside on my arm. This stuff worked to making it a barely noticeable, small yellow, as it might have normally reached after several days. I stopped and let it finish on it's own, which was basically gone by the third day. I already noticed results of quicker healing after the first application.
While the bruise was dissappearing quickly, the surface bacame a little pick, it he'd a little and peeled a very little when scratched. I have fair skin, Celtics ancestry, so a lot of things can do that too me. I will experiment with using a little less per application and/or cut back on frequency, next time.
Lastly, I was worried about it being rose scented. As a guy, I really didn't want to smell like roses, but it ended up being not as flowery smelling as I worried it would be. It is pleasant smelling, not strong and I would say it is unisex in it's smell. Now I just reviewed this giving details about a usage that this product is not FDA approved for, so use at your own risk for bruising. If I were still in sports, where bruising can be a daily occurance, I probably wouldn't use it that often, because of the warnings. For me, it is perfect to keep on hand for the occasional dark bruise in areas that I want cleared up quicker.
