Wait, Bengay's for muscle cramps? Not a cologne? Well then it has dual purpose for me cha-ching!

Do not use it! It smells horrible, and the reason that you are taking the medicine is to feel good! Am I right?

I've been using this product for a very long time. It works quickly and effectively. It doesn't leave a greasy feel at the end.

Works well on muscle aches, but doesn't heat up. Good for before workouts to keep muscles loose, makes you smell like peppermints LifeSavers.

Ben Gay helps for the first few minutes but it will eventually wear off. Plus, it leaves the awful smell of something I can't even describe. If this product could be made with more active ingredient it would be much better.

I enjoy the smell and for minor muscle aches it does wonders.

I like BenGay because it does help, especially the smell. You do see a lot of old people using it.

This product really gets down deep into things, especially if you work out or you are an athlete. You may smell like a hospital but it works your muscles and bones like a doctor.

I'm pretty sure I've only used BenGay maybe twice in my life and both times I found it to just slightly ahead of useless. Furthermore, it reaks, what's the point of that?!? Why not just make it unscented or perhaps something more pleasant and a little less pungent. I think if you want to warm up sore muscles you'd be better off just using a hot water bottle or taking a hot bath. So let's recap: BenGay doesn't penetrate, doesn't last very long, is unpleasantly odorous and is more costly than a bag of hot water.

Works for 30 seconds, then only the smell remains. I don't really like it too much.

Creams have been proven to not even penetrate the skin. Therefore any relief from them would be from the actual motion of massaging them in. The benefits are from the massage, not the creams.

It relieves my pain whenever I use it.
