Auriderm® vanishing gel helps to improve the appearance of chronic purpura.
- Ideal for older patients suffering from senile purpura
- Safe for patients on blood thinners
- Clears most cases in 6 – 8 weeks if no new injury has occurred
- Soothing and non-irritating; can be used continuously to prevent recurrence
- Available in a 50 gram tube for long term use
Because chronic purpura is typically recurring, a lower concentration of Vitamin K Oxide the larger size makes it ideal for this patient population.

Cautions: For external use only. Do not apply to wounds or broken skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed get medical help or contact a poison control center immediately.
