Arnica Bruise Gel

The classic over-the-counter topical gel people reach for on bruises.

• Topical gel

Why you’d want it: For the times a vein got in the way. Helps the evidence fade faster.

Picking tip: Gel absorbs faster than cream and doesn't leave a film, but a known brand (Boiron, Nelsons, Kneipp) beats an unnamed gel. Check the arnica strength is actually stated; plenty of “arnica” products don't say.
