I got a sample of this product and therefore I had tried before to purchase extra. It is effective in all but very effective especially on shots, to avoid bruising (for large hematomas, perhaps only reduces it? I do not know, I have had to use that on small). And the effect is amazing about insect bites, itching on it instantly stops. This is also why I bought one! This is a versatile product that I recommend to parents of young children. The seuile thing I reproach him is not to be certified organic.
