Frequently asked questions
Should I use warm or cool?
Warmth is generally used to relax muscles and to warm up before activity. Cooling, like Cool-X, is generally used after activity. If you're unsure, ask your pharmacist.
Why does my skin feel hotter after a shower?
Warm water, sweating and massage all increase the warming effect. That is normal.
Can children use it?
Not children under 6.
Is it greasy?
No. The gel absorbs quickly and leaves no residue.
