Bon Vital' Deep Tissue Massage Creme, 8 Oz Jar, Lightweight Non-Greasy Formula for All Skin Types, Ideal for Deep Muscle Manipulation, Hydrating Massage Lotion for Spa and Home Use

Very nice stiff massage cream with pleasant smell. Works well for deep tissue massage with slow controllable glide that lasts. I'd buy this again especially if it comes in a more economical size.

Really like it, it's easy to use and not greasy at all, it looks like cream but works / feel like massage oil without that over oily feeling, it is not scented and that's the way I like it, the only complain I have is that once the tube is running low, it can be a little hard to get the cream out. But it's one of the best massage cream that I have used.

I am a chronic pain patient. Nothing helps more than human touch (it helps that she's brilliant, incredibly beautiful and been married to me for 38 years). Sometimes all you can handle is light effleurages, the kind I did four times while she was in labor. Sometimes you want her to push with everything she's got and that still isn't enough. The real problem has been finding something that doesn't feel like you're trying to start a fire by friction. Forget everything that starts "... and massage...." After trying several true oils (yuck), lotions (hmm) and creams (ahh) I finally discovered this at a reasonable price. What's important is the "glide". This doesn't become glue after the initial push and it doesn't dry out in 10 seconds. I noticed that some didn't like the scent. I would label this "unscented" which does not mean "no aroma", it's just that it doesn't appear to contain a perfuming agent. It's not terribly strong, so I would suggest that if you're looking for aromatherapy or romance, add whatever you want to try in little batches. Within moments of application, I had difficulty discerning any aroma at all and, as a redhead, I am very sensitive to any scent, especially if it packs potential allergens (for further explanation read "The Roots of Desire" and "What the Nose Knows"). Update- After trying the 8 oz tube I ordered a half gallon. I know what some people meant by being displeased by the aroma. I mentioned this in a question to the seller. Their response was to immediately issue a replacement at no charge, including pick up of the offending product. The replacement arrived on Monday after my Saturday evening question. I put the "bad" batch in the shipping box which UPS picked up on Tuesday. That, for other sellers out there, is what creates loyal customers! Thank you!

Can not refill the tube unless you cut the bottom off; which I plan to do. Great massage product. Not oily. Has a good glide. Does not have a strong scent.

It’s a great cream for deep tissue work. I had used the original year ago and thought this one was it until after I got it. I realized it was a different one and decided to give it a try. It was as good and maybe even a bit better than the original. I would say this one smells better than the original at least what I remember. I highly recommend this item for deep tissue massage and even lighter therapeutic or lymphatic massage. The texture feels good on both the hands and the skin and it gives a good amount of friction when working the muscles with the ideal amount of glide to really get into the tissue.

Just like most of the review said, this product really works well. My 86-year-old mother has some kind of skin condition that makes her very itchy and we tried all kinds of expensive body lotion products without much success. This one worked almost instantly and she hasn’t had any problems since. We also bought the regular Vanicream for the rest of her body since it was mainly her back and thighs that were causing her distress.

I have been trying different massage creams trying to find a good fit and as much and I do like the glide of this cream, I can’t get past the smell. If it weren’t for that, I’d be more than happy to use it. But just can’t. It’s not thick, but what I would call sturdy. It absorbs very well and isn’t greasy. I’m sad that I can’t stand the smell because this is absolutely a cream that I would use. Not sure how well it washes out of my massage sheets, as I just opened it and used it on a friend. Happy with the price.

Great quality. Smells great. Great packaging
