Biofreeze Pain Relief Cream, 3 oz. Jar

Update: 4/8/22: I ordered this February 2021.I use it fairly regularly. I have whiplash and shoulder muscle spasms still ongoing from a rear- ended vehicle collision in February. This stuff works SO well on whiplash pain and stiffness. It is a WOW! I only need it once a day and it lasts me 24-36 hours before I start noticing I need more. Dose on jar says 3-4x/day. For me, I sure don't need that. I drop from a "9" on pain to a "1" in less than a minute with this!And yes, this is better than Aspercream, I think. And I still will buy Aspercream as a pretty good second. Biofreeze cream is just thicker and goes on better.------ I have enough left for may 7-10 days. One person using this, if you only have a few achy areas should last you one year.I paid just under $12 last year, 14 months ago. Amazon seller has doubled (!!) the price this year. So I am looking at local retailers now vs buying here. 100% mark up is outrageous! What has shortened the supply to drive up price that high?I don't like the gell form. It is so much harder to apply because it wants to roll off skin when applying. I got tired of picking it up off the carpet or floor. It also doesn't seem to relieve pain as well.-----See photo: Gel has 4% menthol. Cream version has 10%. How much better do you want to feel?First I have tested Aspercream against Biofreeze. I think Biofreeze works faster, better and lasts longer.Now, comparing Biofreeze gel to cream.This is my first tube of gel -,DEFINITELY (!!!) my last! The cream is much better.1. Gel separates in the tube, breaks down and becomes watery. Messy!Example, you need to put some on your upper back just below your neck and you don't have help- this gel is hard to place, falls off fingers - then gee, where did it drop to? Maybe a day later you find it after it stained something....2. I wasn't kidding about getting this in your eyes... it burns! I wash my hands after using this really well. But that menthol lingers and doesn't all wash off.Be extremely careful about rubbing sleep out of your eyes, twisting an eyelash, take out contacts BEFORE using this at bedtime, etc.The gel form is just nasty! Personally? I thnk the gel form with menthol should be discontinued. I don't need the menthol even though I love the smell. But if you use it and go out, it is a very strong odor and many people might not like

I normally use CBD cream for my back and neck pain. A coworker highly recommended this. I was certain it wouldn’t work as well as the CBD cream…..but I was wrong. It provides fast relief that lasts for a good while (especially when combined with a heating pad). It does have a medicinal (?) fairly strong smell, but if used under clothing, it’s not noticeable.

I have tried many pain sprays, creams and pads. Biofreeze cream has 10 percent menthol. My pain goes away in my back and knees and it helps me get through the day. Love it.

I got these for my elderly mother who swears this works much better than the gel. She would know as she’s dealt with chronic back pain for many years! You can rub the cream in nicely so it penetrates the skin better than the gel. I’m fairly confident that’s why she only feels relief when I use the BioFreeze cream. Ok that said, the reason I gave the three star rating instead of five stars is “the contents”. This is expensive stuff and you expect a FULL container when it only last for maybe five or six treatments per container! To the manufacturer … either the product is melting or it’s shrinkflation! But EVERY jar I’ve opened (even jars from Walmart) have only been 2/3rds full. One looked half full. So don’t expect a FULL jar. Bio freeze please step up your game and give us value for our money or make the plastic jar smaller to match the FULL contents in it. Per once it’s the MOST EXPENSIVE BioFreeze product! But it’s the ONLY thing that works well for her so I’ll continue to pay the apparent shrinkflation or melting? I need this in BULK. How about offering a case at a discounted price?!

I have tried this cream it’s ok . But I haven’t found one that works 100% yet I give this a 30% rating
