Over the past several years I have been given and even purchased creams and rubs that boast of rapid pain relief. Some have been better than others but the relief was short lived not to mention they smelled medicinal and had the sensation of icy hot. So when I received this cream I didn’t have much of an expectation, but boy was I surprised. This stuff works like a dream. Not only does it provide instant relief, it absorbs fast, has no sticky film, no odor, and no burning sensation. It is my absolute go to for relief I started recommending it to my friends and they all love it. This one is a keeper!
