Globe (3 Pack) Capsaicin 0.1% High Potency Pain Relief Cream, Unscented (2 oz) Deep Penetrating Relief from: Arthritis, Muscle, Joint and Back Pain

Have never used this kind of product, so didn’t know what to expect. It turned out well. Cool going on, absolutely no smell. Takes a while to feel heat, but that’s what it is. Pretty warm at first, I was leery of sitting on an upholstered chair and wouldn’t try adding a heating pad or heated car seat. This passed to a comfortable warmth that has lasted at least 8 hours. My plan has been to apply at bedtime and in the am, but I think I will try earlier tonight assuming the effect has lessened. To be continued

it works great for my orthro. knee pain but must be reapplied once later in the day after morning application and for the people who complain about getting off you fingers use a shoe polish applicator to apply from walmart .

I've used different intensity capsaicin creams and this one is, by far, the absolute worst. I've tried two different tubes and it feels like they forgot to add any capsaicin AT ALL in this! It says to use a pea size amount, which I did on my shoulder for the first attempt and didnt even feel any warming or hot sensation. I waited a for a few hours hoping maybe it would improve but no. Nothing. Then I tried about a 2 inch squeeze of it (about 6x the recommended amount) and again, nothing. No warming. No pain relief. Nothing. I thought maybe the one tube was bad or I got a bad batch, so I tried a second tube of the 3 pack. This one I used about 3 pea size to start. There was an extremely minor tingling sensation. I waited a few hours and tried yet another 2 inch long squeeze thinking maybe the capsaicin wasnt well distributed. And I still felt barely anything at all. I've used 0.025% capsaicin that had a much stronger effect than this! I've been using it every 4-5 hours or so on the same spot. Weaker creams have done more. Maybe I got a bad batch? I dont know. But this was worthless for me. Pros: Theres no smell. It seems to absorb relatively quickly. Its not greasy or icky once its on. Cons: There is either no effect or VERY MINOR warmth.

If it hurts, and the skin isn't broken over it, and it's not on your face, try this. Wear gloves to apply it. Don't get it around private areas. It will burn like HE double L initially, but it ultimately depletes the chemical messenger in the spinal cord needed to transmit pain messages to the brain, and the pain will get better. I hurt my back a few years ago after a bad fall, and have used this ever since. I really am not bothered too much by back pain, unless I slack off and don't use it.

It is a very good value versus the other more well known brands. I would give it 5 stars except I believe the potency / strength is only 50% as strong as a a more well known brand called Capzasin HP Arthritis Pain Relief Creme, 1.5.OZ which is also rated/stated at 0.1 % high potency.. I bought the globe brand because it is only 1/3 the price of the more well know brand.. I work out daily in the gym and play tennis and this is not as strong. But the upside is that it won't make your skin so sensitive to hot water after application and work out.

Gets very hot and painful after applying. I would be very careful where you apply this. My neck had a painful burning sensation for almost an hour

I had low back surgery in 2016. The instant I woke up from the surgery, I had intense neuropathy pain in both legs and feet. Initially, it felt like someone was holding my feet too close to a live flame! The heat was intense! Of course there was no fire. But the sensation was there, nonetheless. We tried everything we could find to relieve the pain. Eventually, the 'hot' sensation dulled and became more tolerable. I had hopes it would subside altogether. But it just didn't. It is now 2026 and I have very little hope for it to ever go away completely. Now it is a matter of dealing with it every single day. My wife had Shingles in her face and the attack damaged the nerves in her face. We tried many doctors and many things to get that sensitivity and constant pain to go away and nothing seemed to help. My wife heard somewhere, online I think, people were using capsaicin cream to treat nerve damage and constant irritation and pain from it. So we bought some to give yet another substance a try. But this was different! Finally! Something that helped! She found the capsaicin cream dulled the pain so she could sleep at night. She started putting it on my lower legs and feet at night and I started getting full night's sleep! It was amazing and encouraging! Now, we buy this cream in the 3-pack and we use it! Constantly! And it really does help. If you have neuropathy somewhere in your body and you've tried everything you can think of but haven't had much success yet, give this cream a try. It is not as intense as something like Tiger Balm or BenGay. But it works and affects the damaged nerves in a way that seems to calm them down--at least temporarily. It sure did work for us!

I ordered these hoping to reduce systemic inflammation and maybe elevate metabolism a little. While I can’t definitively say it works, I do think it helps. I was worried it would burn a lot and be really uncomfortable, but it’s more just warming- not uncomfortable at all. That was definitely a relief. This is so much cheaper than the creams you can buy in store, so definitely a great value!
