Globe Capsaicin 0.1% Pain Relief Cream 2 oz, High Potency 3 - Pack

This is great cream but do not use if you have sensitive skin. It broke me out on my hip joint.

Use gloves to apply. Hard to fully remove from hands even with several handwashings. Nice warmth from the start. It gets hotter the longer it’s on. At 30min I was not satisfied with the amount of heat, so added more to one section. 15minutes later I had to scrub it off with a washcloth and olive oil. Will definitely use this cream again, wish I knew the learning curve first!

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.

WARNING!! i would use gloves!!! I did not first time and even after washing my hands well 2x I still had burning in other areas i touched (like after using the restroom OUCH!) other than that this product gets HOT and it works really well!

i didnt have any side effects, i tried it at home uncovered since it says to keep it out of sun & unbandaged (on my elbow/forearm). gets really toasty for about 45 mins, feels really relieving, but its also says you cant use it more than 4x a day, & the relief is temporary.

I bought this after reading that capsaicin could help with chronic shoulder pain from an old rotator cuff issue. I'd been rotating through ibuprofen and ice packs for months and wanted something I could just apply and forget about. The first time I used it, I barely felt anything. Maybe a slight tingle after 10 minutes? I was pretty disappointed because I'd read reviews about people feeling intense burning. Used it again that night with a bit more product and still... not much. I almost wrote it off as too weak. But I kept using it twice a day for about four days, and that's when something shifted. The warmth became more noticeable, and more importantly, the dull ache in my shoulder actually backed off for a few hours at a time. I think it needs to build up or something? The tube says you might need repeated applications for full effect, which I guess is true, but I wasn't expecting it to take nearly a week to really kick in. Now that I'm two weeks in, it does provide decent relief. Not a miracle, but enough that I'm not reaching for pills as often. Fair warning: if you're expecting immediate heat like menthol creams, this isn't that. It's more subtle and takes commitment to see results. Also my hands stay a little tingly even after washing, so definitely scrub well.

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

My husband actually uses this for constant itching along a nerve on his back. Works great 👍🏻
