Advil Targeted Relief Pain Relieving Cream, Up to 8 Hours of Powerful Relief of Minor Arthritis Pain, Joint Pain, Lower Back Pain and Muscle Pain - 2.3 oz

This is very good for pain. It's excellent. The only thing that was some what annoying was the smell. You have to wash your hands a couple of times to get off of your hands. That's just how strong it is. Good product.

I get muscle tension and kinks in my back here and there. I rub a pea sized blob of this in and it works to relieve pain almost right away. It warms a tiny bit, but mostly just pain relief. I'd forget that I've used it except that once in a while I catch the scent, which to me smells like one of those Halloween wax whistles.

Some medicated smell like most of these types of products. Not too much heat. Works ok.

This really helps with the pain.

I’ve tried many popular pain creams with similar ingredients and never had any issues or reactions. I don’t have any allergies that I’m aware of. The Advil Targeted Relief Cream worked great at first when I put it on my knees, calves and lower back before going to bed in a cold room. It was nice and icy and on the stronger side relative to other pain creams, but the next morning while working out, the areas where I used the cream the night before started burning and the skin became irritated as my body began heating up from my workout. Any exposure to heat made it worse, I went into the dry sauna and my skin was burning to the point that I had to get out. Took a cold shower and used soap to try removing any residue of the cream from my skin but it only cooled down for a little bit until my body naturally warmed up a little later. The burning sensation returned, although more tolerable and mild than earlier in morning- and even felt cooling as well- as long as I stayed in a cool environment.This cream is very strong and intense and its residual effects do not “wear off” for many hours after its intended duration. I really liked this product at first and would have definitely continued using it for pain if it didn’t have this long lasting side-effect which seems to be triggered by heat. It has a strong mentholated smell which didn't bother me since I usually apply stronger creams like this at night before bed. If you plan to use this product, I strongly recommend staying away from any heat for at least the following 12 hours. If it didn’t have these side effects, I’d give it 5 stars.

I hurt my knee right before a trip that we went on. I bought it to help relieve some pain on the 8-10 hour walking tours we went on. I rubbed this on my knee each morning and to my surprise I had no pain all day. There is a minty odor to it but it isn’t too bad. I highly recommend this stuff.

Nothing ever stops the fibromyalgia pain in my lower back or shoulder, NOTHING, until this. It took about 5-7 minutes to take effect, but after it did I am able to do what I need to do. I used it about 10 AM. It’s nearly 1 and I still feel it working.

This is good. It just has a pretty strong Oder.
