 Going! Going! GONE! Sep 11, 2008
By Amy E. Santos
"High-Maintenance"
My Parents are IN LOVE with this smooth textured cream and it works on ALL of their aches and pains! You know the usual pain creams make you smell like medicine and who wants the world to know you're health problems?
How this cream works is, you find the core or spot of the pain and then you put on about the size of a quarter and simply rub in. You may use it liberally up to four times a day. (I hardly think you'll need to use it that much!) It works almost immediately! Five minutes the most and you can't smell a thing! The cream has a wonderful smooth texture and in case you need to have someone else reach the spot for you, the scent is not carried from person to person, because it's not there!
I am AMAZED that this cream even works on my mother's terrible arthritis pain that she gets in her hands. She said that she wouldn't trade it for a thing and couldn't possibly go back to using anything else. My father had a terribly complex back surgery and uses this on his lower back and is immediately relieved of his pain. I'm just happy to see them feeling more like themselves. After all, no one likes to see the ones they love in pain!
I'm thrilled they're happy and not a bit surprised at the out come! Thank you Vine for another great product! Try it! You will NOT be disappointed!

 Moderate Pain Relief Aug 28, 2008
By Nathan M. Rose
I have suffered from some very severe back problems for 10 or more years and by most nights my back is screaming for help!
Normally I pull out my trusty pain cream that I have used forever, however this time I decided to try Alcis Daily Relief Pain Cream. While it does not offer the quick relief my other pain creams provide it does provide gradual relief over a period of time which alleviates the pain for a longer period.
The one major advantage the tube has over all over products is the cap and makes applying to your back very easy.
All-in-all if you have mild pain, and need an easy way to keep it in check I would recommend taking a look at this cream.

IT REALLY WORKS!! Sep 28, 2008
By K. Dubose
Yes-believe the "encapsulated" pain releif blah blah blah of the ads. When I noticed you can pick this cream up at CVS, Walgreens or right-aide...etc, I said, yea this stuff is going to suck. I happy to report; I was wrong!! This stuff really does help! Once you rub ALCiS Daily Relief cream onto your sore joint or muscle you won't feel a thing. You won't feel instant relief, you won't feel the tingling sensation that accompanies most other pain relief creams and you may even wonder what you paid for. I worked ALCiS into their daily training (6 days a week) and recovery and the reactions thus far are quite promising. There has been mild to moderate relief and I felt it was most effective on relieving pain associated with minor tendon inflammation (in my case, tendonitis and shoulder joint pain).
So, from a medical side; unlike Bengay or Icy-Hot, which use methanol to numb pain, ALCiS utilizes trolamine salicylate to gradually ease your joint or muscle pain away. This is hardly a medical breakthrough - trolamine salicylate has been used for decades, most notably in Aspercreme, but it's ALCiS' unique delivery system that makes the product totally unique.
So here is what I like: not greasy, works as promised and most important NO SMELL at all .
Here's what I don't like: It's a bit pricy for 4oz and its not available in sizes larger than 4oz.

 Worked... kinda. Aug 29, 2008
By J. Brooks
Just like everything I buy if there is any claim I am always skeptical, especially when it comes to pain relief.
So when I hurt my arm doing my daily weightlifting I applied this Alcis to the hurt area. Within a couple of minutes (as I continued to do reps) I could actually feel that it was hurting/throbbing less and less.
Later that night it started to hurt again, applied some more and sure enough within a couple of minutes it was feeling better.
The smell of the cream is nothing even close to the other pain relief creams. No menthol or pungent/harsh capsaicin smell, in fact it smells just like an all natural body lotion.
The cream goes on like lotion, a bit greasy but I'm willing to put up with it considering the other pain relief creams are VERY greasy. You also don't get that icy/hot feeling that you typically associate with the other pain creams that are out there.
The other complaint I have is that it doesn't last all that long compared to Thera-Gesic or most other analgesic creams.
This is a great cream for temporary relief (maybe an hour MAX), and I don't see this taking place of my Tiger Balm or Thera-Gesic.
PROS:
Works quickly.
Smells pleasant.
Goes on less greasy as other pain creams.
CONS:
Doesn't last all that long, must reply constantly.
