Leslie I had this exact same problem and I have actually found something that works for me by accident. I had purchased ESTRO - life off of Amazon. Long story short I put it on my arms and I noticed my skin was not bruising or tearing. My skin was so thin my skin would tear if anything mildly sharp rubbed against it. So a couple of weeks ago I had forgot to put it on my arms for about a week and my skin started brusing and tearing. Needless to say I make sure I put it on everyday.
