Maximum Strength Massage Dermatologically Sensitive Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This cream actually helped take the edge off my pain, after one use."
• "The sore/slightly aching muscles from an earlier workout subsides and the warm sensation lasts for quite some time."
• "So far it has gone some way as to relieving some of the symptoms in my neck and shoulders."
• "It provided instant pain relief and worked for several hours."
• "After a generous application in my lower back, after about 30 minutes I started feeling relief in my affected area."
• "This cream works well to reduce arthritis pain and general muscle."
• "This pain relief gel really works to instantly quiet discomfort from achy muscles and joints for a short while."

Cons:

• "Not only does it not really give any immediate relief, continued use is making no difference to the discomfort also."
• "I had knot in my shoulder. Rubbed this on and even gave it a few minutes. Did not help."
• "I didn’t find this to be very effective at all."
• "I'm not real thrilled with this and will use my other products when I'm hurting more."
• "I personally feel like some of the other pain relief creams and gels work better than this one."
• "It is not as effective at pain control as something chemical based like biofreeze."
• "This doesn't do much when the pain is really bad, but then neither does any other rub."

Scent

Pros:

• "It also has a different but quite pleasant smell, rather than the usual turmeric or menthol smell."
• "The gel has a pleasant menthol and ginger scent."
• "The ginger and menthol scents are very present along with a sweet citrus fragrance, possibly the devil claw."
• "It has a nice smell of menthol, which I quite like."
• "The smell is not too bad, a blend of ginger, turmeric and menthol and other mostly natural components."
• "There is a fairly pleasant smell of menthol and ginger to the product which doesn't linger for long."
• "Good smell that dissipates quickly."

Cons:

• "It leaves a slightly sticky feeling once applied too."
• "There's something else that makes it more unpleasant to me."
• "I'm not a huge fan of the smell."
• "However, I can't get over the smell."
• "The smell is quite off putting as it lingers on your skin."
• "Despite washing my hands after use and not using near my face, I can taste it too, it makes me feel quite sick."
• "The smell is light and interesting."

Texture and Absorption

Pros:

• "It works like icy hot on my lower back as it penetrated my muscles."
• "I was shocked how smooth this leaves your hands."
• "The gel absorbs quickly and cleanly."
• "You get a very generous sized jar of the product, and it takes very little of it to spread over large areas."
• "This is a very creamy consistency rub that goes on smooth and after a few minutes is absorbed into the skin and leaves no residue, or any kind of stickiness."
• "Once applied and rubbed in, you don't see it at all and it doesn't leave any sort of residue."
• "It rubs into your skin very smoothly. No greasy or slick feeling at all."

Cons:

• "It got tacky quite quickly though and rubbed in quite soon."
• "Left a pore blocking residue and made my fingers burn a bit."
• "The gel, which is very runny in consistency, is not greasy at all and is easily absorbed onto the skin."
• "This gel is very runny and loose."
• "It comes on slower and kind of feels sticky when drying."
• "The gels, however, are a bit too runny for my taste."
• "Look like slime but dissolve pretty fast in the skin."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "It's $14.90."
• "Comparing this to other similar products for sale on Amazon it seems to be comparably priced."
• "I normally would think that is a bit high, but it is a huge jar!"
• "For the purchase price of only $14.99, I thought this product was worth a shot."
• "You also get a huge tub for the price."
• "It was already priced extremely fairly considering how much of the product you receive."
• "For the price point, it's a pretty good 'natural' option."

Cons:

• "This gel is quite expensive."
• "This is pricey when compared to the house brand products in your local chain drugstore."
• "My honest opinion, £22-90 for a pot of nothing. What a waste of money."
• "The container is frustrating but the product is decent."
• "For the price point it's nice."
• "At the current price of £24.90 to possibly provide pain relief for a whole year or even for part of a year (depending upon how much is needed), it is certainly a worthwhile amount to pay for a product of this nature."
• "Big tub so even the price is justified for us, amazing."
