"Most patients are told bruising is just part of aging. This formula takes a smarter approach. Arnica accelerates the resorption of trapped blood, Vitamin K2 reinforces fragile capillary walls, and Bromelain breaks down the proteins that keep bruises visible. The ceramide and peptide complex rebuilds the thinning skin that causes the problem in the first place. I recommend it to my patients on blood thinners. Most report visible fading within five to seven days."

6 Active Ingredients, Not Just Arnica
Most bruise creams contain Arnica alone. NOVALys combines Arnica, Vitamin K2, Ceramides, Peptides, Bromelain, and Hesperidin for a complete repair and prevention system.
Repairs Existing + Prevents New Bruises
Arnica and Bromelain fade current bruises while Vitamin K2, Hesperidin, and Peptides strengthen capillary walls and skin structure to reduce future bruising.
Rebuilds Thinning, Fragile Skin
Ceramides restore the skin barrier while collagen-boosting peptides thicken the dermis from within. Standard bruise creams only mask discoloration without addressing the underlying fragility.
Safe Alongside Blood Thinners
100% topical formula with no systemic absorption. Safe to use daily while on Warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto, or aspirin. No interference with medication efficacy.
IngredientBenefit
Arnica Montana ExtractStimulates microcirculation to flush trapped blood pooled beneath the skin. Clinically associated with faster bruise resolution in 3 to 5 days.
Vitamin K2 (MK-7)Reinforces fragile capillary walls weakened by age and sun damage. Helps reduce the frequency and severity of new bruises over time.
Ceramide ComplexRebuilds the skin's lipid barrier that thins with age. Restores moisture retention and structural density to paper-thin, translucent skin.
Collagen-Boosting PeptidesSignal skin cells to produce new collagen and elastin fibers. Gradually thickens the dermis to create a stronger buffer between the surface and the capillaries beneath.
Bromelain (Pineapple Extract)Proteolytic enzyme that breaks down the proteins trapping blood under the skin. Clinically studied for reducing bruising after surgery and cosmetic procedures.
Hesperidin (Bioflavonoid)Strengthens microcirculation and reduces capillary permeability from within. Used in vascular health to protect small blood vessels from rupturing under minimal pressure.

"I have been on Warfarin for six years and my forearms look like I have been in a fight. Every bump against a counter or a door leaves a mark that takes three to four weeks to fade. My doctor said it comes with the medication and there is nothing to do. I started using this cream twice a day and the bruise on my left arm faded in five days instead of the usual month. After eight weeks of daily use I am getting fewer new ones. I wore a short-sleeve blouse to church for the first time in years."

"I tried every arnica gel at the pharmacy and they helped a little but never enough. The bruises still took two to three weeks to disappear. When I read this formula has six active ingredients instead of just arnica I figured it was worth trying. The difference is night and day. A bruise on the back of my hand from bumping my car door faded in four days. The skin on my arms also feels slightly thicker and less papery after a month of use. This is what arnica gel wishes it could be."

"After menopause my skin changed completely. My forearms became so thin I can see every vein underneath. The slightest bump leaves a purple mark that spreads wider than the actual contact point. My daughter bought me this cream after she saw me wearing long sleeves at her pool party in July. Within a week two bruises I had been carrying for almost a month finally faded. The prevention part is real too. I apply it every morning and I genuinely bruise less from the same activities."

"My cardiologist has me on daily aspirin and my arms pay the price. I had seven visible bruises on my forearms at one point. A cashier at the grocery store asked me if everything was okay at home. That was the moment I decided I could not live like this anymore. This cream faded the worst of them in under a week. I keep a jar on my nightstand and one in my purse. Two months in and strangers no longer stare at my arms. That alone is worth every penny."

"On darker skin bruises do not show up purple the way they do on lighter skin. Mine look like dark brown or black patches and they leave discoloration that lasts for months after the actual bruise heals. Other bruise creams are clearly not made with my skin in mind. This one faded a dark mark on my shin that had been there for six weeks in just ten days. No white residue, no chalky film, absorbs clean. After two months the old discoloration patches on my arms are finally evening out."

"I have three grandchildren under six and playing with them is the best part of my week. But every visit I would come home with new bruises on my shins and arms from crawling around on the floor, bumping into toys, carrying them around. I was starting to hold back from playing because I dreaded how my legs would look. This cream let me stop worrying. I apply it to my legs and forearms every morning and the bruises I do get fade in days instead of weeks. I am back to being the fun grandma."

"My skin is so thin on my hands and forearms that you can see every vein through it. I tried vitamin C supplements, collagen powders, and three different hand creams marketed for aging skin. Nothing made a visible difference to the bruising. This cream is the first thing that actually works where I apply it instead of hoping a pill does something from the inside. The backs of my hands look noticeably better after five weeks. The skin feels slightly less fragile, like it has some structure again."

"Type 2 diabetes makes everything heal slower including bruises. A mark on my leg from bumping a coffee table took over five weeks to fully disappear. My endocrinologist warned me that poor circulation and thinner skin are part of the condition. I started applying this cream twice daily and the next bruise I got faded in about ten days. Still not instant but compared to five weeks it felt like a miracle. My doctor looked at my legs at my last visit and said the overall skin quality has improved."

"Being honest here. My first bruise did not fade in five days like some reviews claim. It took closer to ten. So if you are expecting overnight magic, set your expectations. What convinced me to keep going is the prevention. After six weeks of daily application to my forearms, I am genuinely getting fewer bruises from the same daily activities. I still bruise but the marks are smaller, lighter, and fade much faster. The real value of this cream is not the quick fix, it is what happens over time. The three-pack bundle is the way to go."

Three Steps. Thirty Seconds.
No prescription, no complicated routine. Just apply, massage, and go.
1
Step One
Apply to the bruised area
Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your fingertip. For larger bruises, use a thin line along the length of the mark. Apply directly to the discolored skin and the area immediately surrounding it.
2
Step Two
Massage gently until absorbed
Use light circular motions to work the cream into the skin. Do not press hard on a fresh bruise. The formula absorbs in 30 seconds with no greasy residue and no staining on clothing or sheets.
3
Step Three
Get dressed and go
The cream absorbs completely with no residue. Wear any clothing immediately. No waiting, no transfer, no stains. For best results, apply twice daily to active bruises and once daily to bruise-prone areas as prevention.
Pro tip: Apply twice daily (morning and evening) to active bruises for fastest fading. For prevention, apply once daily to bruise-prone areas like forearms, backs of hands, and shins, even when no bruise is present. The Vitamin K2, Ceramides, and Peptides strengthen the skin over time. Most users see the strongest preventive results after 30 days of consistent use.

Triple Bruise Recovery System Fade, Strengthen, Prevent*
Arnica Montana stimulates microcirculation to flush trapped blood pooled beneath the skin, while Bromelain breaks down the fibrin proteins holding the discoloration in place. Vitamin K2 (MK-7) activates the proteins that reinforce fragile capillary walls, reducing their tendency to rupture under minor pressure. Hesperidin decreases capillary permeability from within, so less blood escapes when a vessel is stressed. The Ceramide Complex restores the lipid barrier that thins with age, and Collagen-Boosting Peptides signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, gradually thickening the dermis. No prescriptions, no concealer, no long sleeves. Just clear, strong, confident skin where the bruises used to be.
How do the ingredients work?
Fade Bruises Faster
Arnica Montana
Stimulates microcirculation to flush trapped blood beneath the skin - the source of persistent purple discoloration. Visible bruise reduction in as little as 3-5 days.
Reinforce Capillary Walls
Vitamin K2
Works at the vessel wall level to reinforce fragile capillaries - the root cause of easy bruising in aging skin. Helps prevent new bruises from forming at the next bump.
Rebuild Skin Barrier
Ceramide Complex
Physically restores the skin barrier's density and thickness. Replenishes structural lipids that deplete with age, giving skin back its resilience and protective cushion.
Restore Skin Density
Bioactive Peptides
Signal aging skin cells to rebuild collagen and elastin - restoring the structural cushion layer that protects capillaries. Skin becomes visibly thicker and less prone to tearing over time.
What Research Says About Bruising & Skin Fragility
"Topical Arnica Montana demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in ecchymosis severity compared to placebo in a randomized controlled trial of 29 patients following rhytidectomy. Bruise intensity was reduced by Day 7 and resolution was accelerated across all measured parameters including color, size, and tenderness."
Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery
"Oral Bromelain supplementation at 300 FIP units per day reduced bruising duration by 59% and swelling by 67% in a double-blind study of post-rhinoplasty patients. As a proteolytic enzyme, Bromelain degrades fibrin and promotes resorption of subcutaneous hematoma through enhanced local fibrinolysis."
Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
"Senile purpura affects up to 12% of adults over 50 and is driven by dermal atrophy, loss of perivascular collagen, and increased capillary fragility. The condition is exacerbated by anticoagulant therapy, chronic sun exposure, and systemic corticosteroid use. No FDA-approved topical treatment currently exists."
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
"Vitamin K applied topically accelerated the resolution of laser-induced purpura by 25% compared to placebo in a split-face study. Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) demonstrated superior dermal bioavailability over phylloquinone (K1), with longer tissue half-life and greater activation of matrix Gla protein in capillary endothelium."
Dermatologic Surgery
"Hesperidin supplementation improved capillary resistance by 37% in a 6-week crossover trial of patients with chronic venous insufficiency. The citrus bioflavonoid reduces capillary permeability by stabilizing endothelial cell junctions and inhibiting the enzymatic degradation of the vascular basement membrane."

Topical Arnica Montana for Reduction of Ecchymosis in Rhinoplasty Patients
Leu S, Havey J et al. · AMA · Randomized controlled trial
Evaluated the effect of topical Arnica Montana on post-surgical bruising in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients treated with topical Arnica demonstrated statistically significant reduction in ecchymosis severity by Day 7 compared to placebo. Arnica stimulates local microcirculation and enhances the resorption of subcutaneous blood pooling, accelerating the natural bruise resolution cascade.

Bromelain Reduces Bruising Duration and Swelling in Post-Surgical Recovery
Fitzhugh DJ et al. · Elsevier · Double-blind study
Investigated the proteolytic enzyme Bromelain (derived from Ananas comosus) in a double-blind study of post-rhinoplasty patients. Bromelain degraded fibrin meshwork trapping pooled blood beneath the skin, promoting localized fibrinolysis and accelerating hematoma resorption. The treatment group showed clinically meaningful reductions in both bruising duration and periorbital swelling compared to placebo.

The Difference
Why
Kikoora?
Most bruise creams contain a single active ingredient, usually Arnica, and call it a day. They fade the color but do nothing about the fragile skin and weak capillaries that caused the bruise in the first place. So you keep bruising from the same everyday bumps.
Kikoora combines six clinically studied actives that work on all three root causes: trapped blood, damaged capillaries, and thinning skin. One cream. Three mechanisms. Fewer bruises over time, not just faster fading.
The formula works on three root causes simultaneously. Arnica Montana and Bromelain accelerate the resorption of blood trapped beneath the skin, fading the visible discoloration faster. Vitamin K2 and Hesperidin strengthen the fragile capillary walls that rupture too easily, reducing the frequency of new bruises. Ceramides and Collagen-Boosting Peptides rebuild the thinning dermis that leaves your blood vessels exposed. By addressing trapped blood, capillary weakness, and skin thinning together, the cream both repairs existing bruises and helps prevent new ones from forming.
How quickly will I see bruises fade?
Most users see visible color reduction within three to four days and significant fading within five to seven days with twice-daily application. Without treatment, the same bruise on aging skin typically takes three to four weeks to fully resolve. Results depend on the bruise severity and your individual skin condition. If you are on blood thinners like Warfarin or Eliquis, fading may take slightly longer but will still be significantly faster than without treatment. The prevention benefits take longer to build. After 30 days of consistent daily use, most users report noticeably fewer new bruises from everyday activities.
Is it safe to use while taking blood thinners?
Yes. The formula is 100% topical with no systemic absorption. It does not enter the bloodstream and cannot interfere with the efficacy of anticoagulant medications. It is safe for daily use alongside Warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto, Plavix, and daily aspirin. The cream works locally at the skin level by stimulating microcirculation, strengthening capillary walls, and rebuilding dermal structure in the application area only. If you have any concerns, consult your prescribing physician, but topical application poses no interaction risk with oral blood thinners.
Where on my body can I use this cream?
The cream is safe for all bruise-prone areas including forearms, upper arms, backs of hands, shins, legs, and any area where your skin bruises easily from everyday contact. It is gentle enough for facial use with a patch test first. For prevention, apply daily to the areas that bruise most frequently, even when no active bruise is present. The Vitamin K2, Ceramides, and Peptides work over time to strengthen the skin and capillaries in whatever area you apply them. Avoid applying to open wounds, active cuts with bleeding, or mucous membranes.
How is this different from regular Arnica gel?
Standard Arnica gels contain a single active ingredient and only address one part of the problem: fading the existing discoloration. They do nothing to prevent new bruises from forming.
Kikoora contains six clinically studied actives that work on all three root causes. Arnica and Bromelain clear trapped blood faster. Vitamin K2 and Hesperidin repair the capillary walls so they stop rupturing so easily. Ceramides and Peptides rebuild the thinning skin that leaves your blood vessels unprotected. If Arnica alone solved the problem, you would not still be bruising from every bump. The difference is the prevention layer that builds with consistent use.
Will it actually prevent new bruises from forming?
Yes, with consistent daily use. The prevention mechanism works through three pathways that build over time. Vitamin K2 activates matrix GLA protein, which strengthens capillary walls so they resist rupturing under minor pressure. Hesperidin reduces capillary permeability so less blood escapes when a vessel is stressed. Ceramides and Peptides thicken the dermis, creating a stronger cushion between the skin surface and the fragile vessels beneath. Most users report noticeably fewer new bruises after 30 days. The cream does not make you bruise-proof, but it significantly raises the threshold of impact required to leave a mark.
Is it safe for sensitive or darker skin tones?
Yes. The formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dermatologist-tested across all skin types. It absorbs completely with no white residue, no chalky cast, and no greasy film. On darker skin tones where bruises appear as dark brown or black patches and leave lasting hyperpigmentation, the Ceramide Complex and Peptides help restore even skin tone as the bruise fades. Multiple reviewers with melanin-rich skin have noted that old discoloration patches even out over time with consistent daily application.
Will it stain my clothing or sheets?
No. The cream absorbs completely in 30 to 60 seconds with no greasy residue and no color transfer. You can get dressed immediately or apply before bed without worrying about stains on your sheets. The formula is non-greasy and dries to a clean, invisible finish. It will not discolor fabrics of any color.
How long does one jar last?
Each 4 oz jar provides approximately 90 days of twice-daily use on a single bruise-prone area like one forearm. If you are applying to multiple areas daily for prevention (both forearms, backs of hands, shins), the jar will last proportionally shorter, typically 30 to 45 days. A pea-sized amount covers one bruise. A thin line covers an entire forearm. The three-pack bundle is the best value for daily preventive use across multiple areas.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes, with a patch test first. Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist and wait 24 hours to confirm no sensitivity. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic. It is gentle enough for facial skin and will not clog pores. For bruises around the eyes or on the cheeks, apply a very thin layer and avoid direct contact with the eyes. Facial skin is thinner than body skin, so you may see faster results on facial bruises than on forearms or legs.
