Icy Hot Balm Size 3.5z Icy Hot Balm

Arrived on time and as described. The small jar of Icy Hot Balm feels a bit greasy at first and a bit like hard wax. I was hesitant to use it at first, but at the insistence of my therapist I went forward. It has a strong menthol scent similar to "Vick's", which I don't mind (but my cat does). As soon as you apply it to your skin the waxy feel melts and penetrates easily into your skin and the greasy feeling can be rubbed in as well, although it does remain to a point. I would advise covering wherever you apply it if you worry about the Icy Hot transferring onto other fabrics, furniture, bedding, etc. To be fair, I'm not sure if it takes away the pain or if the sensation of the menthol distracts one from the pain for a few hours, either way it does help ease minor muscle ache in my experience. I had a full knee joint replacement and wasn't able to tolerate the Rx meds so I was relying on OTC Tylenol and the Icy Hot to keep me "happy". The pain *I* was most experiencing was calf muscle pain, and pain around my ankle, both of which were helped with elevation, icing therapy, and the Icy Hot massaged into the pain areas (avoiding the incision). After a while I was only using the Icy Hot, particularly at night so I could sleep. Bottom Line: For safe OTC minor to mild muscle pain relief that lasts a few hours before reapplication, I would recommend.

Love, helps with gym pain

I have tried every version of Icy Hot (as well as other brands) for back pain and for whatever reason, the Original Icy Hot Balm works better than all of the others, including the Extra Strength with Lidocaine. No idea why, but if you are confused by so many choices, this one is best. Many people I've talked to about it found the same thing. Not the roll on, not the higher strength one, but the original strength and the balm. Second choice after this and before other Icy Hots is Biofreeze roll on (completely different sensation), but this is better. Number one choice. As someone who hates too many choices I felt it was my civic duty to share my findings. Thank me later. :)

I've been using Icy Hot Original Pain Relief Balm for a while now, and it never disappoints! This product is my go-to for muscle soreness and joint pain. The dual-action cooling and warming sensation provides instant relief and helps me get back to my daily activities. The consistency is perfect—not too greasy—and it absorbs quickly without leaving a mess. I also appreciate the compact jar, which is easy to carry around for on-the-go use. Whether it's for a post-workout ache or general muscle stiffness, Icy Hot always delivers. Highly recommend this balm for anyone looking for fast, effective, and reliable pain relief!

I think I get the most bang for my buck w this gel/salve. Thick and temperature sensitive, it remains on the skin oil. Will light you up after shower, w sweat, heated seats and sunlight. It's super effective and useful in a routine that doesn't include people. Strong menthol scent. When Walgreens does b1g1 half, it's the same price. So it could be the same orice here, even when on sale. Your choice based on needs.

good
