Can this gel help reduce the appearance of existing bruises?

As a cosmetic product, the Dr.Retter “PÄÄSTERÕNGAS” Bruise Gel is not a mask or concealer; it doesn't cover discoloration. It is chosen for the period when the skin feels tender and looks swollen or puffy after a minor impact. The gel contains extracts like horse chestnut and arnica, which are traditionally associated with better local microcirculation and have a long history of use after minor bumps. Over time, these ingredients may help make the affected area look less puffy.

The immediate cooling sensation from menthol can create a more settled feeling on the surface. For the best results, it's common sense to start using it as soon as possible after a knock and to apply it gently several times a day, using only a small amount to let the light texture absorb fully.

If a bruise spreads quickly, is very large, or is accompanied by severe pain, it is not a cosmetic issue. In those cases, medical advice should always be sought.
