Rugby Capsaicin 0.025% Cream for Penetrating Pain Relief - 2.1 Oz (60g) (3 Pack)

The Rugby Capsaicin Cream has been a lifesaver for my sore joints and muscle aches. Just a thin layer goes a long way—within minutes, I feel a warm sensation that eases the pain without any greasy residue. I love that it’s unscented, so I can use it discreetly anytime. The 2.1oz size is perfect for tossing in a gym bag or keeping in a nightstand. After consistent use, I’ve noticed less stiffness and more comfort throughout the day. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-fuss topical pain reliever, this one’s a winner A.

I suffer from Cervicogenic headaches and neck pain and this is the ONLY stuff that has ever helped besides getting knocked out at the er for a "migraine" this will be my 3rd order. I suggest applying with disposable gloves. Every warning you see about the heat is true. So be careful. But I'd rather feel the burn and be okay instead of curled up in a ball of misery.

I was impressed on this topical ointment . I didn't even think that this also works for shingles. Since the name of it says capsaicin. It was suggested by my mom's md to use this topical on her skin. It helps her a lot. We applied it on her skin for 10 days. This cream is very magical..anything that my mom's pain lessen its good ...shingles is no joke.

The best

Update:After writing this review and giving it two stars, I stopped using it completely due to the burning, and easy transfer of the cream from one's hands to eyes, mouth, towels, even after washing with soap and water. Absolutely not worth it. I am using BioFreeze now, and will never go back to the mess.I have chronic nerve damage in my legs from running injuries. I bought this cream to help relieve the nightly numbness and tingling in my feet.This product was a package of three tubes of cream, with the active ingredient being Capsaicin- the stuff that makes chile pods hot. Being from New Mexico, we eat, sleep and breathe green chile, so my first time using this, I slathered this cream on my affected areas liberally like I would applying lotion after a shower.After a few minutes, the burning sensation was so hot it almost brought me to my knees, and it subsided to something manageable after I laid on my bed for 30 minutes. I absolutely cannot believe how awful this felt for the first few minutes- my only equivalent was when I moved back after being out of the state for a decade and failed to wear gloves while peeling green chile. My hands throbbed for days. The package does say that the burning will ease with reapplication, and I was daring enough to apply this again - the burning was much less the second time around. The package also says that individual reactions will vary - mine just happened to be severe.The lesson here -no kidding, your first time using this, apply a small test patch and wait a few minutes before applying any additional cream. Be sure not to rub it over any cuts- absolute burning hot misery will ensue. Wash your hands with soap and water immediately after-do it at least twice. This stuff stays on your hands and will punish you if you rub your eyes, nose etc.How does it work? Well, I’ve been burning so badly that I don’t even notice the numbness in my feet. Not sure the trade off is worth it.

It seemed to work okay. I had to reapply it ever few hours though. Also it feels very gritty to put on. It reminds me of using an exfoliating body scrub. I certainly did not like that part. It certainly seems to me that the gritty bits could have been left out.

OK, this is a product to handle with care. I expected the instant burn of most sports cream. It was applied to my back and I waited....oh, all of ten minutes. We reapplied more. Felt a soft warming and it did help.I had to get ready to go out about an hour later. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get this wet!The fires of hell attacked me in the shower. I felt like I was flayed alive and showering in lava. I made many odd sounds and the dog thought I had gone mad. He and the cat are still certain that there are monsters in the tub and patrol the area with ruffs raised and growls. This is a great product, but DO READ the instructions. They are not just for show. BTW once I stopped being dramatic, my back did feel much better.

I use this for some peripheral nerve damage that causes intermittent itching/pain along the inside of my upper arm and elbow. Before I tried this I would have to use ice packs which was messy and incovenient. My advice though is to start with a very small amount. I put a generous amount (quarter size) on my upper arm and couldn't sleep because of the burning. Then I started with a tiny amount - about 1/2 the size of a pea. That didn't do much, so I increased to about a pea size which works really well. Wash your hands after applying. It's great stuff at a great price and will save you from popping too much advil - your kidneys and gut will thank you!
