Capzix Cream for Pain Relief 2 OZ Capsaicin .1% High Potency/ Maximum Strength

I've used Capsaicin creams for many years as the itch feeling you my experience with peripheral neuropathy can quickly be taken care of by using it. This particular uses more Capsaicin than most so I only use it for small problem areas. The high capsaicin content can burn if used too much or over too large an area. If you need or want the higher capsaicin content, this is a great product. Just use with care.

I’ve been using Capsacin cream for years for fibromyalgia pain and it has been expensive buying the name brands. I’ve tried a few generic brands but they weren’t as good but this brand is great.

This claims to have 0.1% Capsaicin which is the same percentage found in all other Capsaicin creams. However, I've used a couple of other brands in the recent past and with each of them I could feel the warmth almost immediately and in about 30 minutes the pain would go away. This Capzix Cream did not give off any warmth and provided no pain relief. I suspect it's just lotion like any hand lotion with zero Capsaicin. I say this because I touched my tongue to where I'd applied it and there was not chili pepper tingle. I had to go through extreme measures to get a refund because, technically, it's not a refundable item.

I rubbed a small amount on back of my leg. It started to heat up. Only problem it was too much heat and i couldn’t take it! I actually had to get up and take a shower to wash it off. No long term issues, maybe my skin is too sensitive to it. I’m sure it must work well for some!!!

I ordered this for my husband to try to help his neuropathy in his legs. We have tried every cream on the market already and nothing has really helped. I put this on his legs after trying a small amount the night before which didn’t get any reaction. He was calling me by lunch time saying his legs were on fire! I just put a thin layer on his legs. He had to go the restroom and wash his legs off with soap and water. But the heat didn’t make his pain in his legs lessen at all. So I’m not sure what this cream would help.

I have diabetic nerve pain. I have had it since November. I started using capzix a couple of weeks ago. It appears to be working. I use it 2 times a day. My nerve pain has diminished. Is it gone yet, no. It is much more manageable. My biggest beef, when my feet heat up in my sneakers, boy howdy it burns. That being said, when it gets hot I take off my shoes. I assume as I lessen my capzix this will lessen. To sum it up is it worth it? Yes. I am hoping it will get better but the nerve pain waking me up I will continue to use capzix. A couple of hints…use a disposable glove to apply or clean your hand throughly. If you think your hand is clean wash it again. Put it on thinly so it can dry quickly. At night I use cotton socks on so it doesn’t get all over the place.

I have shoulder issues & my orthopedist suggested I purchase capsaicin cream. I stumbled upon this item & so glad I did. This cream is way better than biofreeze. Yes, it burns a little, but it feels really good. I started off using a very small pea-sized amount to see where my comfort level was. I can use about a nickel size amount with no major burning issues. I can feel it penetrating far better than any other cream I've tried. There is no sticky residue & it absorbs fairly quickly. I do use a glove to apply as I don't want to take any chances getting this in my eyes. I highly recommend to anyone who needs deeper muscular heat. Thank you so much.

I've tried all kinds of capsaicin cream. I don't find it any hotter than the others. I do apply with a glove as it is still made from chili peppers. But I don't see where it truly helps on my neck pain from nerve damage. It doesn't take down stiff and sore muscles. I've used all kinds of the stuff and I don't find it to be so hot. I have tender and sensitive skin as well, so I thought it might get pretty hot from the reviews but it was not very hot at all. I'm probably going to see if my doctor can recommend a better one. I had used zostrix from a prescription for it once long ago and it was much hotter and I did find relief but it is not made any longer so possibly he knows another brand that is hot and will work cause it does take the heat in the chili peppers to work well. Didn't make the skin red or anything but it was a very very slight heat but very weak. It's not returnable so check before buying. It's like very mild peppers and not any that were hot cause it's not hot on sensitive skin and I am elderly as well and I normally have to be careful with using capsaicin cream but not this one. It's not much more than a regular cream. Not to me anyway but I do use a glove so I don't get it in my eyes and I touched my mouth once and it did burn a little bit cause it was wet. Maybe it was because I have used prescription strength before and then it's probably totally different.
