It was like sitting on a hot car seat

Let me tell you about the time I almost died. It was my first day at the gym in a REALLY long time and my trainer decided to take his aggression out on my legs. As I laid down that night, I could feel the tightness and soreness of my upper and inside thighs. I mentioned it to my wife and she sprung up with enthusiasm out of bed. "I have this Arbonne gel that should help!" she said mid sprint to the bathroom to retrieve it. From what she described, it sounded like it would really work. And work, it did.
I flipped onto my stomach and I could feel her squeezing that toothpaste tube of liquid lava all over my legs. I giggled and told her "jeez, did ya put enough on there?!?!" knowing she had probably emptied the tube. She rubbed it into the back of my legs and my inner thighs. I immediately felt the sting and a warm sensation on my legs. "Wow, this is nice" I thought to myself. Little did I know how wrong I was.
As the seconds ticked by, my legs caught absolute fire. It was like I was on one of those metal slides at the park with no pants or underwear on sliding at 3,000mph in the Mojave desert. I thought "this stuff is aggressive, I'm sure it's just sinking in and will back off shortly. Nope! Wrong again. The flames spread from my inner thighs to my, um, "coin purse". I saw Jesus.
I told my wife that this wasn't right and she told me I was being a baby. I threw the blankets off my legs and the smoke bellowed out from under them. I went around the side of the bed, grabbed the tube and put it on the inside of her thighs to make sure it wasn't just me. Her only reply after all of this was done was "you didn't use near as much as I did".
At this point I wanted to preheat our kitchen oven to 475 degrees so I could crawl in there and cool off. My skin was red, which I figured was the last sign before it started melting off.
My wife had the idea that milk might calm the intensity. At this point I fought through the tears and laid face down on the bed. It felt like I had peed myself....but with lava. Lava pee. If that was a thing, this would be it.
So as I lay there, legs and giblets approaching sun-like temperatures, she starts applying milk to my legs with a soaked paper towel. I consider this point in my life to be "rock bottom". Here I am, a 41 year old man recieving a paper towel milk bath from my wife who overdosed this liquid fire product. I felt the milk stream trickle down my butt. I'm mortified. She's laughing. I don't care because I'm on fire and I need to start planning around how my life is going to function with no legs. She gets a part of the cream in her eye. Suddenly this is now a much bigger deal to her and the laughter is starting to subside. I get up and get in the shower. The water evaporates before it can even reach my legs. The rest of the night I slept on a towel and changed my underwear 3 times. I made it by the grace of God.

Husband Moves for a Living

I tried this product thinking about my husband who lifts heavy furniture for a living. He absolutely LOVES the product. It soothed his muscles and lasts for hours.

Some mentioned the burning sensation and wearing gloves. The same goes for mainstream products too! It's important to read and follow the directions!

I would liken the scent to a mint lifesaver candy, if you remember those. Again I strongly recommend for muscle aches. If you need something stronger then you may need to see a medical doctor.

Yes! Awesome relieving gel & natural!

LOVE this gel! Relieves the back pain I have right on the outsides of my spine and knees and calves from running. It smells soothing like spearmint and I feel actual relief of my tight and sore muscles instead of just a burning/ cooling sensation like other products I’ve tried that simply mask/ distract the pain. I’ve been searching for a relieving gel/ cream that is also clean since I will be applying it directly to my body. I also have very sensitive skin and no adverse reaction, just great pin relief. Also a little goes a long way and I was sure to wash my hands afterwards.

Effective but also sting-inducing

I purchased theIcy Heat from a friend who just started as an Arbonne consultant. I had liked the small sample she gave me. The product definitely works to ease muscle pain and creates a cool-hot sensation.

It also has a very strong scent - it actually burned my eyes. The product also lingers on the hands - I recently read you should wear gloves to apply it (which is weird to wear during a massage). I attempted to wash it off, but was unsuccessful because it ended up *in* my eyes during the night - I'm guessing I rubbed my irritated eyes unknowingly.

I do NOT recommend this product.

I am currently laying in bed DYING of pain from using this! Worst product. Burned my skin horribly. Had to shower it off and still burning! Don't buy.

Expensive but very effective. Love that it is natural. My husband was sceptic but now he asks me to rub his painful shoulder with it!

I did not find this product helpful at all, in fact it made the places I put it on feel like they were burning. When put on my back, it turned bright red instantly. The smell is very overpowering as well.

This product caused me intense pain.
I had to shower to get it off completely.
It felt like being on fire.
