THIS REALLY DOES WORK IN COMBINATION! I would get these huge purple blotches on both forearms, almost weekly very unsightly and ugly! I did some research with the help of my dermatologist and came up with three different types of treatments, and now been using these three for over two months, NO MORE PURPLE BLOTCHES! 100% gone! First the Purpurex, second, the DerMend moisturizing bruise formula, to reduce the bruising, and third, Rutin, vascular health. I can only give you my personal experience and this for me worked 100%, so if you are bothered as I was, I suggest you give this a try!
