Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra with MSM Pure Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Lotion for Topical Application (5oz)

I didn't want to buy this because of the price, but I had it on good authority of a friend who uses it every night that it has brought her relief. She said that on the nights she doesn't use it, her legs hurt her. My daughter was in a car accident, and she has a lot of cramping and leg pain, and I decided it was worth giving a try. And she definitely hadv me reach for this to massage her legs and arms more than a dozen times!I'm a person who can be skeptical at times... And part of me wonders if it's just the massaging Factor that's helping... But, I can say that it has brought her a lot of comfort in her hours of pain. It does feel a bit pricey, but I guess if it works it works!I didn't have any issues with it coming out except for maybe initially. And that's just means I had to use a few extra pumps to get the lotion moving, but ever since then it's been easy to squeeze on her arms or legs or neck.There is no odor that I can think of. I've leaned into smell it, but it seems odorless to me. It isn't exceptionally greasy either. Yes of course it's lotion like when you put it on, but it seems to go into the skin really nicely. It's not perfectly dry of course, but it doesn't feel like a super greasy lotion, it just feels mildly lotion like on the skin. Which means, it feels just a little bit moist.

My knee almost always start aching within an hour of going to bed, and feels like it's coming from under the knee cap, in the joint. It's the kind of ache that makes me have to move my leg to get it to subside (restless leg maybe?). For the last few years, I have taken several aspirin before going to bed and it wasn't unusual at all to have to get up within an hour or two to take a couple more.After researching, the most common suggestion was this type of cream, so I decided to give it a try. Thought the cost was on the high side, but worth trying. The first time I tried it, absolutely ZERO difference and I was very disappointed. After a week or so, I thought, well.. I have it, already paid for it, might as well use it up. The very next time I used it, not one achy knee that night. Ok, maybe a coincidence, so I used it again and once again a full night without achy knees. Out of two weeks of using it, there was only one other night where I had achy knees.I've continued using it and have even found that forgetting to use it two nights in a row, it's still working. Only small amounts of ache the 2nd night, but nothing like it usually is. I have no idea how it gets into the achy areas, especially if under the knee cap, but it does.I'd say the only negative about this product is the cost. There are other products with the same ingredients for less than half, so I might give one of them a try and see if they are as effective. Also, it takes a fair amount of it to cover the fronts and backs of my knees each night.Overall, so far, VERY happy with this!

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion Ultra with MSM combines pure magnesium chloride sourced from the Zechstein seabed with Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) for enhanced absorption and joint support. Designed for easy transdermal magnesium supplementation, this lotion aims to promote relaxation, muscle recovery, and improved skin health.

It is very smooth and stays on. I use it at night, apply to my leg I just had surgery on and it seems to relax it a bit.

This topical has been a life saver for my husband. He suffers from frequent leg cramps. He applies at night to ensure no cramping.

excellent product-I put on before bed and I end up having wonderful sleep- so good for you and I love this company too- amazing high quality products.

It’s way better than the spray

I've been using this on my daughter who complains of leg pain. She's only 3 so I can't say for sure if it's working or if it's just a placebo effect but I can say she doesn't complain about her legs anymore. However, the pump on this is awful. Initially it worked fine but after a day or two, the pump started getting stuck and hardly any lotion comes out. Once I finish this bottle, I won't purchase again.
