Icy Hot Products for Joint and Muscle Pain

What do Icy Hot products treat?

Icy Hot products are used to treat joint and muscle pain. This can include sore muscles and joints, back pain, arthritis, strains, sprains, and bruises. Icy Hot products use ingredients that make your skin feel either cool or warm. This strong sensation on your skin is called a counterirritant. This means they produce a warming or cooling sensation on the skin that distracts from the pain making the pain less noticeable.

Icy Hot products use one or more of these ingredients to create that relieving sensation.

There are Icy Hot products for adults and children as young as 2 years old.
