Bruising Swelling Natural Montana extracts Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This gel really works for pain."
• "70% of the bruise was gone overnight!!"
• "This does help with the pain, but what really helped was the decreased swelling, which in my case is one of the causes of pain."
• "This 96% arnica gel provided pain relief without relying on pills."
• "Soaking the Arnica gel in a thin gauze and then wrapping it around the affected area overnight brings exceptional relief."
• "I've been using this on my ruptured Achilles tendon and it really works!"
• "Arnica Gel for Bruising and Swelling Maximum Strength really helps in minimizing bruising."

Cons:

• "I had heard good things about arnica cream/gel and decided to use it on my knee. It did nothing to alleviate pain and discomfort for me."
• "I used it extensively to help my bruises after an accident before a surgery, but it didn't seem to help with the pain or the bruising."
• "I also did not like the smell or the tingly feel of this product; to me it burns."
• "It's very messy to apply."
• "This product is supposed to be 98% arnica, but it has a VERY strong menthol smell."
• "after a few applications a significant itchy rash developed on the skin surface."
• "it didn’t make a difference, sadly."

Application and Texture

Pros:

• "Arnica GelThis gel has a great consistency and is easy to apply."
• "You use such a small amount that it will last a very long time (maybe the size of a small pea)."
• "It applies with an almost menthol like cooling effect and goes on clean."
• "The gel applies easily and it has cooling properties from the menthol."
• "It absorbed quickly and completely, and left no residual on my skin."
• "This arnica gel is very thick and yellow, and looks like it would be greasy, but it isn't."
• "It rubs in quickly, is not sticky and it softens my skin very nicely as a side benefit."

Cons:

• "Texture is a bit sticky, so not really recommended for massages...it penetrates deeply and leaves a dry feeling not oily."
• "The smell reminds me of pickle water."
• "It is thin and comes out of the tube very quickly."
• "It's ok but definitely not worth £15. You can get similar products for much less."
• "It is a little on the sticky side, as it is a gel and not a cream, but the stickiness doesn't last long."
• "This gel dries completely."
• "did not help shorten the bruising any faster."

Scent

Pros:

• "The gel itself has a distinctive herbal scent mainly of menthol which some may find unpleasant, but you only need a very small amount and I didn't find it notable once on the skin."
• "The gel has a pleasant minty scent."
• "has a very light menthol odor that isn't overwhelming or offensive."
• "I like the scent - it has a eucalyptus scent which I love."
• "It has a very light scent that is not too bad or anything that sparks my allergies."
• "The smell is like any OTC pain relief cream but it’s not overpowering."
• "The scent is more menthol than anything, but is thankfully not nearly as overpowering or potent as the eye-watering menthol scent in many other popular pain gels and liniments."

Cons:

• "Smells like menthol, but dries quickly with no greasiness."
• "I don't care for the scent."
• "VERY strong menthol odor!"
• "I’m not noticing a difference in swelling or discomfort but that’s never been an issue for me."
• "I don't care for the scent."
• "No bad smell either."
• "Just doesn't help much with my wife's bruising on her arms or the pain either - guess it's time to go see a dermatologist."

Value

Pros:

• "This gel stands out as a gel without mineral oils, dyes and silicones, which I try to avoid."
• "I am a true believer in this for alternative pain relief."
• "Arnica is a must have! It does helps with pain and swelling and I feel like bruises heal faster."
• "I have already ordered the larger one."
• "I also like that the product is 98.7% natural."
• "At time of review the tube sells for around $27 which, considering the content of the oils and 95% Arnica seems a good value."
• "For the price point, if you bruise easily this is a great product to have on hand."

Cons:

• "This product works to relieve pain but more expensive than others I've ordered which work just as well."
• "This is pretty expensive and doesn't go that far."
• "It's ok but definitely not worth £15. You can get similar products for much less."
• "For the price I'll skip buying this again."
• "common American garbage products that have been diluted into non-existence don't work anymore."
• "Just doesn't help much with my wife's bruising on her arms or the pain either - guess it's time to go see a dermatologist."
• "Have spent a fortune on these various non-prescription options."
