READY TO SHOP FOR A PAIN RELIEF TOPICAL?
Consider the type of application that will work best for you.
Pain relief topicals come in various forms, so it's best to consider which type suits your preferences and needs.
Pain Relief Creams: Perfect for a hands-on application. If your pain feels better when massaged, this will be ideal for you. However, not all pain creams are created equal. Some may be difficult to rub into the skin or leave the skin white or sticky. Note that almost all pain relief creams on the market contain unnatural ingredients due to the delicate process to create a cream that is truly 100% natural. (P.S: at The Formula, we put in the time and effort!)
Pain Relief Roll-on gels are easy to apply and don't require using your hands. They can be helpful to use on the go but they are rarely natural and usually sit on top of the skin which means the ingredients do not penetrate to give maximum relief from aches.
Pain Relief Ointments and Balms can be massaged directly onto the skin, like a cream. However, they can be unpopular due to the sticky feeling on the skin. Just like gels, ointments and balms do not absorb into the skin for deep pain relief.
Pain Relief Sprays provide quick and easy application, making them suitable for those who want a no-fuss option. Sprays can also be helpful to reach areas of the body such as the back or neck. They are convenient for on-the-go pain relief use.
