Advil Targeted Relief Pain Relieving Cream is the first topical analgesic from the trusted Advil brand. Specifically formulated for localized pain, this cream does not contain Ibuprofen. Instead, it uses a powerful four-part formula to target minor aches and pains exactly where you feel them.
How it Works: The Four-Part Plan
This cream uses a combination of four active ingredients to provide deep-penetrating relief:
- Menthol (10%): Provides an immediate cooling sensation.
- Methyl Salicylate (15%): Works as a topical analgesic.
- Camphor (3.1%): Helps block pain signals.
- Capsaicin (0.025%): Delivers a soothing warming sensation that helps relieve deep-seated pain.
Together, these ingredients work to target, penetrate, block, and relieve pain for up to 8 hours.
Recommended Uses
This non-greasy formula is ideal for fast relief from:
- Simple backache and muscle pulls.
- Arthritis and joint stiffness.
- Strains, sprains, and bruises from physical activity or "body pain."
- Sore muscles after exercise.
Application and Texture
Unlike many traditional ointments, Advil Targeted Relief is formulated to be non-greasy and easy to apply. It starts working on contact, moving from a cooling to a warming sensation as it penetrates the skin.
For best results, apply a thin layer to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times daily. If you have questions about whether this product is right for your specific condition, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for expert advice.
Note: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and open wounds.
