Questions we get a lot
What does it feel like?
It goes on cool from the menthol, then you feel a gentle warmth from the capsaicin. That's normal.
Is it greasy? Will it stain my clothes?
No. It rubs in clean, so you can get dressed right away.
Who uses it?
Tennis and pickleball players, golfers, runners, people who lift, and people who just did too much yard work. It's also used by chiropractors, massage therapists and trainers.
What shouldn't I do?
Don't use it on wounds or irritated skin, don't wrap the area tightly, and don't use it with a heating pad. Stop and ask a doctor if things get worse or last more than 7 days.
How long does a 4 oz tube last?
It depends how often you use it, but a little goes a long way. Many people keep one at home and one in their bag.
Goes well with
The 3 oz roll-on for your bag (no mess, easy to reach your back and shoulders), or the 8 oz pump, our best value size for home.
