Icy Hot Original Pain Relief No-Mess Roll-On Applicator, Fast-Acting Pain Relief with Max Strength Menthol 16%, Contrast Therapy for Backaches, Joints, Muscle Strains and Arthritis, 2.5 oz

This roll on works really well when I need quick relief for sore muscles. I like how easy it is to apply without getting it all over my hands, and the cooling followed by the warming sensation feels really soothing on tense areas like my back, shoulders, and legs. It dries fairly quickly, is convenient to keep around the house, and has become one of those products I reach for often

Love this, it works great. It’s very easy to use, lasts a good amount of time and helped with my pain in my back and leg. It takes a few minutes to dry depending on how much you put on. The more you put, the longer it takes. It does have a menthol scent but it’s not overpowering in my opinion. It’s typical for this type of product. I didn’t find it sticky.

I decided to give IcyHot a try on my back after dealing with an injury that just refused to heal. I’d been using lidocaine patches and gel, which do help, but I was curious about the whole “icy” and “hot” thing. And thankfully, it really does what it says. First you get that cool, almost refreshing icy sensation, and then it slowly shifts into a warm, soothing heat. For me, it’s been a solid pain reliever, not a cure, unfortunately, but definitely something that takes the edge off for a few hours. And for that alone, I think it’s worth having on hand. I also love the roll-on applicator. It’s super convenient and keeps everything mess-free. So yes, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants some reliable pain relief, as long as you’re not expecting a miracle fix.

It works well, providing relief in about 1-2 minutes. That said, the generic stuff at the drugstore works just as well (same dose of active ingredient) at about 1/2 the price.

Personal Use: Having suffered from neck, shoulder, mid and lower back pain, I used to have used this roller almost everywhere. I also recently sprained my thumb rolled this all over my joint and palm, then wrapped an ace bandage to secure the thumb and palm. Worked great. I woudl say this helps will sorts of muscle/joint issues:Bursitis. tendonitis, strains, sprains, and any muscle tenderness or tightness. Personally, i mainly use it on neck and shoulder(trap muscle specifically), even have rolled up a little above the hair line to hit those muscles in my hairat base of my skull. Helps ease aches from sitting in front a of a pc for 10 hrs a day. Smell: Its strong to whiff from roller. And strong when you first roll on. But once a dries, its light and only noticeable if you hold nose close to skin. I work in an 10x12 office and no one notices it when they walk in. Personally, I love the smell so it doesn't bother me in the least. Downside(if any): Unless you've had the stuff on for 4+ hours, do not shower with hot water for at least 1-2 hour after application.. Your skin will feel like its on fire. Same with sweating. If you work out after work, do not put on after lunch. If you work out in the morning, put on after you shower. Another thing, which again i dont really feel is a downside but feel to mention, since i roll it on back of my neck and in my hair, it does make my pillow smell like icy hot (no staining though). I have rolled over in the middle of the night and opened my eyes and gotten a wave of methol hit my face and makes my eyes water. Bottom line... the stuff is potent. Regardless of these two things, which i consider minor because of how great it works, I still wouldnt opt for another brand and use almost daily Ingredients: Active ingredient is Menthol 16% Price: Amazon has the best price I have found so far, and becomes even better when you get on Sub&Save. Highly recommend!

The roll on is easy to use so your hands don’t get messy. The heat from the product worked wonders on my sore back.

Easy to use, works great ,fast shipment and good value

Love this stuff. Stays hot and provides relief for hours.

Best in numbing the pain I am not sure about what happens when it’s wearing off, it burns but maybe I putted too much
