YES! YES! YES!
I'm not sure I'm ever written an Amazon review, however this lotion blows my mind (and no, I didn't receive this free for a review). I lost a lot of weight and when I did my skin got super thin on my forearms... I'd barley scrape or bang or anything and my arm would get those horrible old lady bruises... made me feel super decrepit! Ugh! I'm still relatively young so I don't need that now!I truly went into this with low expectations - truly. It took me almost two weeks to plunk down the $50 for this. But, I faithfully used it three times a day at first, and now once a day. MIRACULOUSLY my skin NO LONGER BRUISES like it did. Really! I hate that it's so expensive but it's worth every dime - I'll always use it.So that's my fair and honest and real review - 5 stars all the way!p.s. Go Giants!!!

I've been using this product for about a year. ...
I've been using this product for about a year. Before that I tried Dermend for about 6-9 months. I still use Dermend, and a number of other Arnica-based products to heal a bruise, but I've not found any product other than Skin Renu that works to prevent bruises. One caution however. Because this product is expensive (currently $39.99, and previously $49.99) I started experimenting with a smaller amount to make it last longer. I first was getting just under two months use, applying twice a day to the back of my hands and forearms. Then I reduced the amount and stretched the duration to two and a half months, but then I started getting bruises again. My bruises would sometimes be the result of an obvious inadvertent banging my hand or arm against something. But they could also just show up - from something so slight I never even felt it. But for nearly 3 months now I've been using a larger amount with each application, and getting about 7 weeks use from a bottle. I've had absolutely no bruises of any kind. So my advice, bite the bullet and use it liberally. Keep track of when you open a new bottle. Adjust the amount you use as needed. I only hope they don't stop selling this stuff, because I'm not sure there's another comparable product out there.

Works Only Fair
After ordering 3 separate times and using this product religeously I have come to the conclusion that it works only marginally well. I have given it a fair trial. It does improve the skin somewhat. It heals bruises only slightly better than average. However at a cost of almost $50 plus shipping, it is way too expensive for the limited benefit it provides. Arnica works better for healing bruises and is much cheaper. Save your money, this cream is not the answer.

Expensive but worth it!
I'm 63 and have a genetic predisposition to prematurely thinning skin, as do all the women on my mother's side of my family. Beginning around age 50, I started to bruise very easily on my hands, wrists and forearms. Over time it just got worse. I've tried many different bruise creams and SkinRenu is by far the best. I used as directed (3 times daily for the first two weeks) and noticed an improvement in my skin. This product does not completely prevent bruising but definitely makes bruises less awful looking and bruises resolve much faster. It has a very faint but pleasant scent. I guess no product works the same for everyone, but when I saw that someone else gave this only 1 star, I felt compelled to write this review.

Effectiveness
The is one product I can say actually DOES as advertised. The skin on my forearms is very thin (I'm 70) and I'm on a blood thinner. I can get one of those ugly looking bruises by barely bumping into something, and then they lasted over 2 weeks. I even started putting band aides over them to cover them up, but no more. I guess this product has toughened my skin somewhat as in the last 4 weeks I've only gotten one small bruise, which was gone in about 4 days. I will continue buying this product for sure. I apply it 3 times a day.

No help! Save money and go to dollar store and get some lotion!
Been using for over two months. No decrease in bruising at all! Save money and just get a good moisturizing lotion!

Meh
I can't tell it works any better than Gold Bond. Gold Bond is a lot cheaper.

I REALLY like this product
I REALLY like this product. It does what it says it will do! I get bruises very easily. If SkinRenu is used according to directions, it helps tremendously! It does't eliminate bruising but if it is applied as soon as possible after a possible bruise, it works! I am amazed at how few bruises I have on my forearms, as compared to the past. The only down side isn't really much of one but the fragrance could be better. I will definitely order more!
