ABSORBINE JR. Pro Maximum-Strength 4% Lidocaine & Phenol Roll-On, 2.5 oz

This is one of the best topical pain relief products I have found. The addition of the phenol really does help it penetrate deeper than other similar products that I have tried. The residue is minimal and doesn't leave anything visible. The only downside is that it does smell medicinal and kind of minty or like menthol. It doesn't bother me, but it does have a noticeable smell unlike some of the other products out there. If that's going to be a problem for you, then I don't recommend this, but otherwise this stuff is great. The bottles aren't very big, but since it is a roll on, there is minimal waste and you don't get any in your hands unlike creams and you can control precisely where it is applied unlike sprays so it lasts longer than you would expect for the size. I keep a bottle in my travel bag and my medicine cabinet at home. The smaller size is useful compared to the aerosol can I used to pack with me. I made the mistake of going hard on leg day, the day before I had a hike planned and this stuff saved the day. I don't think my legs would have been able to move that day if I didn't put this on the night before.

Best med for muscle pain! Very quick to work. I use it for nerve pain in my feet too. Easy to roll on and hasn’t irritated my skin like Salon Pas patches do.

I’ve had two extensive back surgeries and knee problems I’m 76 years old for years that Tylenol helped slightly and I lived with the pain. I saw a review on this and thought I’d try it. It works! Roll it on. Within 10-15 minutes you’re feeling better. Not totally pain free but a whole lot better. I will never be without this product and order it wherever I’m half through the bottle. The smell is a bit strong at first but it disappears . I hope they never stop making this. It’s a total game changer for me .

Works exactly like other 4% lidocaine roll on solutions at twice the price but with a fresh minty scent. It is no better than plain lidocaine.

Stuff just WORKS!!!!

Absolutely love this product. Works amazingly well.

For the first time in my life, I've had chronic sciatica nerve pain for about 4 months. I've had an xray and scheduled for an MRI, so you know how much pain I'm in. I was willing to try anything, so I purchased this. I don't see any significant help from this, but I keep using it to see if maybe I'm just not patient enough. It doesn't really touch my nerve pain and it doesn't last long for me either. But maybe it does work better for other people.

I have bad joint pain and inflammation that keeps me up at night. Ice will work temporarily. This product is not only effective, but it’s very easy to apply. The roller is smooth. The bottle is easy to hold. I detest the products with strong menthol. This smells less like Vicks vapor rub 😆 and goes on and drives quickly so you don’t even have to touch the product/risk getting it in your eyes. It’s the appropriate amount of strength- it feels like maximum strength and that if you had additional active ingredients, it would burn.
