Active 10 Pain Relief Roll-On, 3 oz

Same Active 10 formula as the tube, in a roll-on so your hands stay clean. It's the one I keep in my tennis bag, because I can reach my own back and shoulder without help and get right back on court.

Uses: for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains.

• No mess. Roll it on, no rubbing in with your fingers, no cream on your grip.
• Cool, then warm. Menthol, capsaicin and magnesium go to work right where you roll it.
• Non-greasy, non-staining. Put it on and get dressed.
• 3 oz, travel friendly. Under the 3.4 oz carry-on limit. Made in the USA.

How to use it

Roll a thin layer over the sore spot. There's no need to rub it in. Most players use it after they play and again before bed. Keep it away from your eyes, and snap the cap back on so the ball doesn't dry out. Follow the directions and warnings on the label.

Roll-on or tube?

Same formula. Pick the roll-on if you want clean hands, need to reach your back, neck or shoulders on your own, or want something for your bag or carry-on. Pick the 4 oz tube if you like to massage it in, or you're covering a bigger area like your quads or lower back. A lot of people keep a tube at home and a roll-on in the bag. The combo pack gets you both.

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.

Can I use it right before I play?
Yes, plenty of players do. It's non-greasy, so it won't make your hands or grip slippery. Wash your hands if you touch it before you touch your eyes.

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.
