Title:The pump is a pain

Date:January 30, 2012

"This cream is decent, though I haven't used it long enough to offer a final comment. However, the new pumps that replace the former widemouth jars are, in my opinion, a complete failure.

After one pump, I have to shake the container down to get anything to come out on a second pump and on and on. If you're in a year round warm to hot climate, this may not happen, but during winter in New England this has become a nuisance. We have purchased other creams recently from Swanson and all have the same issue.

Swanson, if you're listening, please go back to the jars with your creams."

Title:packaging is terrible

Date:January 7, 2012

"I have purchased this product for years and it was always great. However, it was sold in a jar. This new packaging in the bottle with the pump is ridiculous. It's almost impossible to get any of the cream from the pump. And the plastic of the bottle is so hard that I couldn't squeeze it at all.

I won't buy this again till the cream is put back into a plastic JAR."

Title:Excellent product

Date:April 11, 2010

"I have used this product for several years but it used to contain too much capsaicin. If you left any on your hands and then rubbed your eyes... ouch! Now that the formula has been revamped, it is much improved! And it works great! Highly recommended."

Title:an okay product

Date:October 12, 2008

"I once bought a joint product at a yard sale for a dollar. It worked great but the online price was $40! So I tried Better than Blue, but I don't like the soupy consistency. I was expecting a cream that was easier to apply. Seems to work though so I'm getting use to it."

Title:This stuff works!

Date:December 1, 2007

"We often buy this product 6 at a time so as to not run out. It really works and is a fraction of the cost of the other brand. The name says it all. In our opinion, it really is better and Swanson makes it very affordable."
