Bruising is a typical response to an injury. Bruises occur when tiny blood vessels become damaged, leaving behind blood trapped beneath the skin. Eventually, the body will reabsorb the blood as the injury heals.
A 2021 review of previous research found that 18 out of 25 studies on arnica showed it significantly helped with bruising. However, not all of the studies reached the same conclusion. The author highlights a need for more research.
A 2021 study found that drinking pineapple juice before and after facial surgery reduced postsurgical bruising and led to a faster recovery. The participants drank 350 milliliters twice daily for 7 days before the surgery and 7 days after.
People can try this remedy by eating pineapple or drinking pineapple juice. Alternatively, they can try oral bromelain supplements if a doctor recommends it. Bromelain can interact with other medications, so it is important to consult a doctor before taking it.
A 2021 review states that several studies have found vitamin K creams and ointments can reduce facial bruising. It appears to work by reducing blood accumulation under the skin. It also improves the appearance of visible blood vessels, such as spider veins, due to aging.
A small 2022 study of people about to undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery found that applying aloe vera during recovery helped to improve wound healing, reducing bruising around the site of the operation in comparison to controls.
Bruises are usually not serious, and most will go away on their own after around 2 weeks. However, frequent or unexplained bruising could indicate a medical problem. Symptoms to see a doctor about include:

He was a visionary. Arnold Langer discovered his passion for make-up and theater early on. The young chemical laboratory apprentice earned his first pocket money with the sale of soaps and creams. With his vision to make make-up for the reopened theaters, the successful story started: 1945, Kryolan was born.

This long-named, polymer molecule (big molecule from repeated subunits) is a helper ingredient that's good at emulsifying and stabilizing oils into water-based formulas. It also acts as a thickening and gelling agent that creates nice, non-sticky and supple textures. It works over a very wide pH range (3-12) and can be used to thicken up low-ph formulas, such as exfoliants. Its recommended used range is 0.3-3%.
A 100% natural and plant-derived moisturizer that mimics the natural carbohydrate fraction found in the upper layer of the skin. Its special magic power is to bind to the skin stronger and longer than other moisturizer ingredients do so it can keep the skin hydrated longer than usual.
A nice yellow flower living in the mountains. It has been used as a herbal medicine for centuries, though its effect on skin is rather questionable. It's most famously used to treat bruisings, but there are some studies that show that it's not better than placebo (source: wikipedia). Also, some consider it to be anti-inflammatory, while other research shows that it can cause skin irritation.
One of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. Ceramides make up about 50% of the goopy stuff that's between our skin cells and play a super important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. It works even better when combined with its pal, Ceramide 1.
They are waxy lipids that can be found naturally in the outer layer of the skin (called stratum corneum - SC). And they are there in big amounts! The goopy stuff between our skin cells is called extracellular matrix that consists mainly of lipids. And ceramides are about 50% of those lipids (the other important ones are cholesterol with 25% and fatty acids with 15%).
Ok, so now we know what ceramides are, let's see what they do in our skin: research shows clearly that they play a super important role in keeping the skin barrier healthy and the skin hydrated. If ceramides in the skin are decreased, more water can evaporate from the skin and there is less water remaining in the skin. So ceramides form kind of a "water-proof" protecting layer and make sure that our skin remains nice and hydrated.
Now the question is only this: If we put ceramides all over our face do they work as well as ceramides already naturally in our skin? Well, the answer is probably a no, but they do work to some extent. The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier.
So far we were writing about ceramides in plural. It's because there are lots of different ceramides, a 2014 article writes that currently 12 base classes of ceramides are known with over 340 specific species. Chemically speaking, ceramides are the connection of a fatty acid and a sphingoid base and both parts can have different variations that result in the different types of ceramides.
Our current one, Ceramide 1, or more recently called Ceramide EOP, was the first one that was identified in 1982 and it's a special snowflake. It contains the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid and has a unique structure. It's believed that ceramide 1 plays a "binding role" in the lipid layers of the extracellular matrix. Along with ceramides 4 and 7, they also play a vital role in epidermal integrity and serve as the main storage areas for linoleic acid (a fatty acid that's also very important for barrier repair).

It's one of the important lipids that can be found naturally in the outer layer of the skin. About 25% of the goopy stuff between our skin cells consists of cholesterol. Together with ceramides and fatty acids, they play a vital role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated.
A so-called fatty (the good, non-drying kind of) alcohol that does all kinds of things in a skincare product: it makes your skin feel smooth and nice (emollient), helps to thicken up products and also helps water and oil to blend (emulsifier). Can be derived from coconut or palm kernel oil.
