ICY HOT Medicated No Mess Applicator Pain Relieving Liquid 2.50 oz (Pack of 2)

I bought this today hoping for relief from my knee pain. It did help for a bit, until I got into the shower six hours after applying. My whole left knee is now red and feels like it's on fire. I tried applying Vaseline, but the whole area is numb to the touch, so it did nothing. Do not buy this!!! I truly wish I'd read the reviews first.

My husband rolled this on my neck and upper shoulders to alleviate the tightness and pain I was feeling. After a little while I started to feel a burning sensation. I assumed it was heating but it soon became unbearable. I took a cold shower and tried to get it off. The area continued to burn more severely. When I got out, I looked in the mirror and found what looked like a sunburn all over the areas that were covered with the product. We applied oil, I showered again, and applied Aloe with lidocaine. Thankfully that settled things down. I can't imagine what could have happened if it was left on longer. 16% menthol is more than they usually have in their products and I wanted to warn others.

I find it hard to get any product out with the roll on applicator. It takes a lot of work to get enough on. I have an injured rotator cuff and this provides minimal relief. It does get a cool feeling for a little while but nothing great. The mess free application would be great if more could come out of each time but this just isn't enough pain relief for me. It has the typical minty scent to it that isn't too strong.

I really like how easy this product is to apply with the no mess applicator it saves me from having to get it all over my hands. The cooling and warming sensation kicks in quickly and provides noticeable relief for sore muscles after workouts. The scent is strong at first but fades after a while.It's also compact enough to carry in a gym bag. Overall, it feels effective and convenient.

I really like the Icy Hot No Mess applicator—it's easy to apply without getting the product all over my hands, and the packaging feels sturdy enough to toss in a gym bag. The scent is strong but what you'd expect from a muscle rub, and it fades fairly quickly after applying. It works effectively to relieve sore muscles and lasts a good few hours, making it great value for the price.
