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

Good product and value

So much better than Tiger Balm or Ben-Gay. This is the ONLY cream that works for me consistently.

I suffer from peripheral neuropathy of the foot, non diabetic. For those of you suffering from this type of pain try this experiment, take a dry rather rough hand towel and gently massage your foot for about 30 seconds on each foot. If the pain seems to be less this capsaicin might help you. Even though this product can cause a burning Sensation, if your feet are numb like mine you won’t feel the sensation. It seems to stimulate the nerves and help reduce the burning and the feeling of something Is on your feet like socks. If you are taking pain medication for this condition, you will still need to take that. I strongly recommend using surgical type gloves when applying this as even after multiple handwashing’s and you happen to touch your eye area it will burn.

I use this to relieve sciatic pain and it works very well. Will buy again.

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.

Great for neuropathy.

Burned my legs. Didnt like it. wasted itall.

It works

I am so happy with this product! It delivers INTENSE heat!! I usually use a product from an MLM that costs over $20 per tube. This product is just as effective, maybe more so, for a much more reasonable price. This is much hotter than similar products so if you aren’t used to it, start with a small amount and rub it in very very well. It will start working quickly and give you effective pain relief. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after applying and consider using a cloth or soap with some grit in it to get the product completely off of your hands. Again, I love this product!!

Great product. Quick delivery. Value for price

Arrived in a timely matter, exactly as shown. More importantly, it helps my diabetic neuropathy in my feet for a reasonable price. Thank you for this product.

Didn't do anything. Didn't even feel a burn that people mentioned at all. Very disappointed. Will not buy again!

Produit qui fonctionne vraiment bien. Dégage une grande chaleur qui dure environ 2-4 heures. Plus on en applique régulièrement (4 fois par jour), plus la partie endolorie du corps se désensibilise à la douleur! Cet effet est dû en partie à la propriété de la capsaïcine! ATTENTION: Évitez de respirez directement au dessus de l'application de la crème! Cette préparation dégage des vapeurs irritantes pour les voies respiratoires qui peut faire tousser ou incommoder temporairement. Aussi, n'oubliez pas de bien laver vos mains après l'application car se frotter les yeux ou mettre ses doigts dans la bouche pourrait être désagéable!!!
