The best natural analgesic cream I have tried. Almost odorless, it gives off a pleasant hint of natural herbal aroma reminiscent of mint. It spreads perfectly, gliding on the skin during finger massage without drying out or creating friction or greasiness due to its thin texture and low viscosity. This is the great advantage it has over others. It will not cause discomfort or irritation when applied, gliding smoothly on your skin and being absorbed immediately within 1-2 minutes, lightly moisturizing the skin. Within 5-10 minutes, it starts to penetrate the underlying tissues, causing a mild to moderate, non-irritating burning sensation in the area (neck, waist, knee, or joints), and its true analgesic properties begin. The effect gradually fades away in 3-5 hours. Of course, the above times depend on the area of application and the thickness of the (always clean) skin in the applied area. I strongly disagree with the previous commenter "Constantine_D_"... I found my relief with Flogoderm Capsicum (125ml) from ErgoPharm, I use it regularly and order it wholesale through Skroutz for cheaper prices. In severe conditions, it needs to be combined with corresponding analgesic treatment. I fully agree with the above comment that the only good competitive creams, which I also had previous experience with, were the last two mentioned. CounterPain, although effective, had a strong, suffocating smell (reminiscent of Vicks VapoRub on steroids), it was thick and difficult to spread and apply. CounterGel, which had similar effects, was less effective but luckily almost odorless, with less difficulty in application. However, both had a burning sensation that was more intense than their tissue penetration, which is the desired effect for pain relief. Finally, their biggest drawback... was and still is their unavailability! Where can you find them???!!!
