Key ingredients
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is known for its iron-binding properties, lactoferrin enhances macrophage function, speeding up the breakdown of blood byproducts. It also promotes tissue repair and supports hyaluronic acid production for better hydration and skin recovery.
Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract
Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract), also known as Snow Mushroom Extract, is a natural ingredient derived from an edible mushroom. It is high in polysaccharides and renowned for its exceptional ability to enhance skin hydration, holding up to 500 times its weight in water, similar to hyaluronic acid. This extract supports the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production, improving moisture retention and strengthening the skin barrier, making it valuable for barrier repair. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stress and mild anti-inflammatory effects, soothing irritated or sensitive skin.
Hexapeptide-11
Hexapeptide-11, is a bioactive peptide with a molecular weight of 889.04 Daltons. It upregulates Hyaluronan Synthase 2 (HAS2), boosting hyaluronic acid (HA) production to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Simultaneously, it downregulates Hylauronidase 2 (HYAL2), preventing HA degradation and enhancing skin moisture retention. Hexapeptide-11 promotes autophagy, a process that removes damaged cells and recycles cellular components. This assists macrophages in clearing debris, such as damaged cells and red blood cell remnants after injury or bruising, which accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and helps combat cellular senescence- a known cause of aging.. Hex11 also upregulates the early growth response 3 (EGR3) gene, crucial for strengthening the skin barrier by enhancing keratinocyte function. Moreover, Hexapeptide-11 is linked to increased collagen production, which aids in skin repair and rejuvenation, making it popular in antiaging skin care.
Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that plays a key role in cell signaling. It helps signal macrophages to target and eliminate damaged red blood cells (RBCs), facilitating the removal of cellular debris and promoting faster bruise clearance. This enhanced macrophage activity aids in reducing the appearance of bruises and accelerates skin recovery after trauma. Phosphatidylserine also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Additionally, it strengthens the skin barrier by integrating into the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, enhancing lipid organization and stability, which prevents moisture loss and shields against irritants.
Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Combination of hydrating coconut oil and glycerin to moisturize skin.
Hydrogenated face oil that is more stable than squalene found in sebum.

Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
You should see improvement in bruise discoloration as early
as 48 hours after application.
These ingredients help make this one of the most effective creams
to clear bruises: Phosphatidylserine signals macrophages (the Pak Men of
the immune system) to ingest and remove RBCs (red blood cells). Lactoferrin
binds iron and enhances macrophage function. Hexapeptide-11 encourages
autophagy, helping macrophages clear damaged cells and RBC debris. Arnica
reduces swelling.
Yes, the serum has the ability to not only clear bruising
but also reduce associated swelling, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties
of ingredients like Arnica Montana.
Yes, while it's designed for post-injection bruising, it can
be used on bruises from all causes including injuries, injections, surgery, solar purpura, friction, abrasions,
and even hickeys.
ChromaFADE Technology™ helps to target and fade the
discoloration of bruises by speeding up the body’s natural breakdown of
hemoglobin, which causes the visible bruise colors.
Many users with sensitive skin have reported good results
with no irritation. The formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making
it gentle on most skin types.
While it works best when applied to fresh purple bruises,
some users noted it also helped to clear older green and yellow bruises, though
the healing process may be slower than with fresh bruising.
The non-greasy serum absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy or
sticky residue, making it easy to wear under makeup or sunscreen.
For optimal results, apply the serum 2-4 times a day to the
affected area. Consistent use leads to faster clearing of bruises.
Many reviewers feel that the serum is worth the investment,
especially for those prone to bruising. They find the accelerated healing and
reduced downtime well worth the cost.
Yes, this Alastin bruise healing cream can help reduce dark
circles if they are caused by hemosiderin deposition, a condition where iron
from blood breakdown collects under the skin. Some types of dark circles,
particularly those caused by blood vessel leakage or bruising, can benefit from
the serum’s ingredients, which accelerate the breakdown of blood products. By
promoting the clearance of hemosiderin, Alastin INhance can help reduce the
appearance of these darker areas over time.
