Globe (3 Pack) Capsaicin 0.1% High Potency Pain Relief Cream, Unscented (2 oz) Deep Penetrating Relief from: Arthritis, Muscle, Joint and Back Pain

Have never used this kind of product, so didn’t know what to expect. It turned out well. Cool going on, absolutely no smell. Takes a while to feel heat, but that’s what it is. Pretty warm at first, I was leery of sitting on an upholstered chair and wouldn’t try adding a heating pad or heated car seat. This passed to a comfortable warmth that has lasted at least 8 hours. My plan has been to apply at bedtime and in the am, but I think I will try earlier tonight assuming the effect has lessened. To be continued

If it hurts, and the skin isn't broken over it, and it's not on your face, try this. Wear gloves to apply it. Don't get it around private areas. It will burn like HE double L initially, but it ultimately depletes the chemical messenger in the spinal cord needed to transmit pain messages to the brain, and the pain will get better. I hurt my back a few years ago after a bad fall, and have used this ever since. I really am not bothered too much by back pain, unless I slack off and don't use it.

I've used many different rub on pain relievers with only mediocre relief. I was hoping this would be better. It does an ok job of relieving pain but I had two problems with it. The instructions say that you may experience a slight burning sensation that may last several days. That's a very true statement. It doesn't say that washing your hands doesn't get the stuff off. It may take it off the surface of the skin but it still has the ability to burn your eyes and lips for a minimum of two days at least. I applied it to the backs of both of my hands using my fingertips, then washed my fingertips with soap and water. That was Tuesday evening. This is Thursday afternoon and, even after washing my hands a bunch of times, showering and shampooing, my skin on my fingertips still harbor the product enough to cause burning in my eyes and lips when I touch them. Also, the instructions do not say that wearing gloves the day after application (and after washing your hands several times) will increase the burning sensation 10 fold. I volunteer in a kitchen and must wash my hands frequently and wear the latex gloves. By the end of my 2 hour shift, the backs of my hands felt like they were on fire. I did not have a rash or redness, just a severe burning sensation. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

We have purchased this product a couple of times and can truly say it is a good product and the results exceeds that of products costing much more

It is a very good value versus the other more well known brands. I would give it 5 stars except I believe the potency / strength is only 50% as strong as a a more well known brand called Capzasin HP Arthritis Pain Relief Creme, 1.5.OZ which is also rated/stated at 0.1 % high potency.. I bought the globe brand because it is only 1/3 the price of the more well know brand.. I work out daily in the gym and play tennis and this is not as strong. But the upside is that it won't make your skin so sensitive to hot water after application and work out.

It does not work as well as I expected, but it does relieve local pain somewhat. Biggest problem is it stays on my fingers, even after washing them. DON"T touch your eyes after use and really scurb your fingers with hot water and soap longer than normally, if you ussed your fingers to apply. Would not buy again.

This works. However it is painful for some people due to the capsaicin.

I use this almost exclusively for my feet
