New to Topical Hemp Products
I'll be honest, I wasn't quite sure how the cream would work. I've only ever used edible hemp products in the past and the idea of a topical cream solution for pain kind of had me curious, if not just skeptical.
Getting the product on the first day, I was slightly annoyed with taking the seal off of the top of the jar (under the lid). I think it's more of a sensory thing as the stretchiness of the adhesive substance kind of irked me.
Once I got past that, I went straight to trying out the cream. It has a pleasant, Vicks-like smell that kind of subliminally makes me think of days spent resting up and getting better from being sick. The cream was very smooth and applies easily.
I used the cream on my shoulders as that's where most of my reachable pain is located (fibromyalgia and general tenseness from having to travel by foot with an anxiety disorder). I was pleasantly surprised with the initial experience. It had a cooling, soothing effect that I really appreciated.
I'd honestly forgotten I'd even had any cream on my shoulders as I didn't have to keep stretching and repositioning myself to get more comfortable like usual. I was able to just enjoy the game I was playing without distraction for the first time in a while.
Also, washing the cream off of your hands when you're done applying it is very easy. It comes off just fine in cool water with no noticeable residue left behind.
Overall, I really like this product. I'll definitely be getting it again in the future. It was pretty cheap for how long this seems like it will last. Give it a try if you have spare funds and are looking for something new for pain.
