(3 pack) Equate Extra Strength Cool & Heat Pain Relieving Cream Menthol 10% Methyl Salcylate 30%, 3 oz, Compare to Icy Hot® Cream Active Ingredients

I'm going to assume that when this revieew asked me to rate the taste, they actually wanted me to rate the odor - it smells exactly like every other OTC topical pain relief cream/ointment that contains menthol/methyl salicylate. My arthritis is severe enough that I'm never pain-free. The only way for me to be reasonably pain is to have both knees surgically replaced. Cool %26 Heat helps to make my pain tolerable. I'm usually able to keep up with my daily chores %26 sometimes I'm able to do something just for fun. I plan to repurchase %26 re-repurchase Equate Cool %26 Heat. It has earned a permanent place in my OTC medical stash.

I loved the fact that this neutralized the pain and gave me relief pretty immediately. It gets intensely hot, so you must be perpared for that, but the cooling sensation also is nice and counterbalances the burn. It makes the overall experience great. I will say that if you have to put it anywhere near your eye,be aware that it will likely cause them to run and feel a bit of a sting from the vapors in the rub. It usually subsides in about 5-10 minutes and is definitely worth it. Even the smell is ok. I do not mind that it is not fruity or flowery. The minty smell is OK.

This cream has been a big help for my nighttime sciatica pain. It doesn't take the pain away completely, but it definitely numbs it enough for me to finally fall asleep comfortably. The texture is great—not greasy at all—and it has a pleasant, mild smell that isn't overpowering like some other pain creams. One thing that made me laugh: Walmart asked me to rate the taste. I've never tried tasting it (and definitely don't recommend anyone do that!), but as far as actual performance goes, it works very well. If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the name brand, this Equate version is a solid choice for temporary pain relief. I'll keep using it!

I purchased Equate Extra Strength cool%26Heat pain relieving cream it works real good took the pain away I was shocked how fast it works and I will state it works better then the other brands I tried and it is more affordable then the other leading brands that I will purchase again when the need arises. This cream really made my day today relieving my the pain I was feeling the way it did.

I've bought named brand Icy Hot and bought this Walmart brand. the only difference is the smell. Both work the same. Icy Hot smells better but price matters most to me.

Love the ways you handle my orders. The last order came in more than one time, part was delivered to my door thy other parts were shipped. You kept me informed about the order and when it was to arrive . Thank you for your service I appreciate you.

Fortunately the loud scent dissipates after 30 minutes. The scent is so obnoxious that my eyes were watering after applying a nickel size to my knee. The product absorbs swiftly into the skin and is not greasy feeling. The cream did not cause any irritation to my skin once applied. I did feel relief from stiffness which improved my range of motion on my knee since using this product. I have used this product for the past 2 days twice a day with 8 hours between each application.

I ORDERED 4 OFTHE (3) PACK OF CREAMS WHICH SHOULD OF EQUALED 12 TOTAL TUBES. i RECIEVED MESSAGE 1 ORDER WAS NOT AVAIABLE WHICH SHOULD OF BEEN 3. I ONLY RECEIVED 8 TUBES AND GOT CHARGED FOR 9. EQUATE COOL %26HEAT PAIN CREAM

I didn't get much really from it, it didn't get warm and the smell is so strong of mint item that it made all the clothes in the washer smell like that.

Cream elicited a burning/stinging sensation for about 10 mins after applying - happened for me, my husband and my son. After the burning stopped it seemed to provide some relief but the first part is so painful it's not worth it. Odor was an issue for my family but it doesn't bother me. Won't buy again
