Advil Targeted Relief Pain Relieving Cream with Massage Applicator - 2.5oz

Felt fine when I put it on last night. After about 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill, the area started to burn. Stopped immediately, went and took a shower. Still have burning sensation over an hour later.

One buys an item with the word ADVIL in big letters and makes the assumption it contains... ADVIL. I know. How foolish of me. I did not read the ingredients! It contains - NO ADVIL or any ibuprofen at all. It just contains the same ingredients as half a dozen other pain relief/distraction products - wintergreen, capsaicin, menthol, camphor. Your skin tingles and you feel hot - and when that goes away maaaaybe some tightness goes away, but any real pain is still there. What a rip off. In the UK, this would never be allowed. I bought some ointment there and it contained... ibuprofen. Worked pretty well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This topic cream is very easy to apply and massage in areas with pain. It gives a cooling and warming sensation as it's different ingredients that help to relieve. Advil products are cheap, easy to find and the package is small as it can be carry in the bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good cream that really helps pain in different parts of the body. Its packaging is excellent, it has an applicator that helps you apply the exact amount and not waste product, and you can also do a massage while you apply it to the affected area.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it, personally I suffer from pain in my knees quite often. I’m a fan of this cream, it helps me a lot to improve the pain. It’s enough product and it’s quite economical.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for neck pain. I love how you can a dispense and apply the product without getting it all over your hands. The applicator head has a textured to knead your muscles. The scent was not that strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was waiting for this product so bad because I recently got my shoulder joint swollen and I have tried other products to heal it with no results. I tried this product as directed for two days and I felt the pain reduced and the mobility was better. The packaging is convenient and the applicator makes much easier to apply onto the skin. The scent is not strong and mentholated, I personally like this scent. I highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Advil Targeted Relief offers fast-acting pain relief for specific areas. The convenient packaging makes it easy to carry and use on the go. The active ingredient, ibuprofen, is well-known for its pain-relieving properties. The scent is mild and unobtrusive, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Strong smell which I don’t mind. The cream rubbed on fine and felt better on muscle pain than joint pain. It was a little warm after rubbing on giving kind of an icy-hot sensation.

Did the trick,pain went away fast now I can get back to living life pain free

I had some joint pain from running so I applied it to my knees and the back of my knees (I didn’t mind the strong mouthwash-like smell). But unfortunately 12 hours later in the middle of the night, I woke up because the back of my knees felt uncomfortably HOT - No visible rash, normal temperature to the touch, but it was like when you sit on metal patio furniture that’s been out in the sun. I immediately tried washing them with soap and water. Relief was temporary. I just had to sleep it off. Woke up without the burning sensation thank goodness! But the whole ordeal was not worth.

This arrived yesterday, I put it on my bad knee immediately. I've had knee pain from old injuries for many years now. Believe your doctor when you are warned it will bother 20+ years later. As I got older arthritis set in. I tried many "remedies". I saw this trusted brand name advertised incoupon flyer & decided to see if Target carried it. After the 1st (easy to do) application, I could feel some relief in a short time. So, at bedtime, I reapplied it & slept comfortably. When I woke up, I applied some more. It is now almost suppertime & it still feels good. This is NOT a cure & they don't claim it to be one. I can still feel the underlying swelling & some pain BUT if you're dealing with chronic pain over a long time, this may work for you. One thing I haven't heard is any crinkling in my kneecap today & I've been able to bend my knee without wincing. Carried the laundry down 3 stairs without a problem (no holding onto the wall). NOTE: it smells like Peppermint Lifesavers, but not a heavy, cloying odor some other ointments have that announce you before you get in the room. There was an offer at the time so I bought 2 (25% off the 2nd one). I'm glad I took a chance on this item. I'm hoping I'll be able to change my rating to 5 stars.

Smelled good when you open that but the minute you put it onto your skin it burns really bad, went to wash it off and its still burning my skin! It's like I just put fire to my neck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pain reliever works fantastic for my aches and pains. I don't particularly like the packaging, the lid is not secure enough. It is long lasting and does not have an offensive scent. Overall I think the price is right and it's a great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came in a full size tube. Works great. Smells medicated for sure. Seems to be worth purchasing. Package is sturdy and well made. The dispenser works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did enjoy this product because it was topical and it did seem to provide some relief. The packaging was nice and clear and the price was reasonable. It wasn't an unpleasant strength and it started to work pretty quickly.
