This product is great. At a recent event show the product representative asked if I'd like to sample, I said yes and she applied a small amount of the Real Time Pain Relief on my thumb/wrist area. What a relief I felt...I also bought a small tube of the Real Time Maxx to try , it's so relieving for my awful arthritis pain in my back, knees, thumbs and feet. I recently purchased a 12oz. Pump of the Maxx and use it daily. I highly recommend these products and will definitely use more. Why suffer in pain when these products are available out there. You'll spend a lot more on others that don't relieve as long and keep trying others that also don't relieve pain. Go for it, worth every cent spent! A++ Ron
