CapsAid ES Arthritis Pain Relief Cream with Capsaicin 0.1% Strength Anti-Inflammatory Cream - Odor-Free Topical Arthritis Ointment for Muscle Stiffness & Joint Pain - 1.5 oz

This product worked great for me, and it is a little less expensive than the more well-known brand of capsaicin cream. Some people have complained and given bad reviews of this product because it burns their skin. It’s supposed to! There are all sorts of warnings about that on the packaging. Any cream with capsaicin is it is going to burn. You just have to know that and use it carefully. For example, I would never use capsaicin cream on my fingers—or even hands—because of the risk of accidentally touching my lip or eye OR SOMEONE ELSE (like a child) and burning them. I am extra careful when applying it. I use a glove and also wash my hands very thoroughly afterwards. That way, I have no problems with accidentally transferring the cream. I also let it dry thoroughly before dressing to reduce transferring it to my clothing. It has given me relief, and I absolutely recommend it.

If you want the heat you need to open your pours with a hot wash rag. If you get hot and sweat you will feel the heat. I like the heat others complain about. Too hot? don't use so much. Works on my knees and my back.

This cream is the worst, I don’t have sensitive skin. I use bio freeze or voltaren all the time for my nerve pain. I decided to try this one, left me with a burning feeling for hours. Like my arm was litteraly on fire! Had to clean it very well with soap and but aquaphor to somewhat get relief. The morning after I went to hot yoga and the burning started again!! Do not buy!!

Works fairly well, wash your hands WELL after applying. Just when you think that you have washed your hands enough..WASH THEM AGAIN! DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES! IT burns!!!

I use this cream for pain relief in my hands and wrists. It works pretty good. It goes on white and dries clear.

provides short relief bit works as intended and much better than absorbine for me

Capsaicin works differently than products with menthol. It warms the area and it takes a while to notice any relief. A little goes a long way as it can get too hot if you use too much.

My sister has CHS, and I bought this to treat her CHS pain. It unfortunately caused a severe allergic reaction when applied. I’d love to return it, but there is no return policy. Please be careful.
