1 If your bruise is causing pain, take an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). Read and follow all instructions on the label. 2  If desired, apply a natural product directly to the bruise.  Witch hazel may help heal damaged veins.
Also a big fan of linoleic oils! I have dry, dehydrated and acne-prone skin. From my own experience, it seems that linoleic oils such as hemp seed, rosehip (especially), passionfruit, and evening primose have helped my skin out the most when it comes to evening out the tone and diminishing active acne and scarring.
Tea Tree Oil. Perhaps the most popular acne-killing oil, tea tree is very effective and also, very, very aggressive (it's toxic if taken internally, so don't drink it). Some people can use it undiluted and have great results; I'm not one of them, hence mixing it with neem oil.
