DMSO3 oz. Roll-on Non-diluted 99.995% Low Odor Pharma Grade Dimethyl Sulfoxide Liquid

It smells like garlic and sometimes it can sting as it is soaking in. I dampen my hands and apply a small amount of water to the area. I can feel the area heat up and the water takes the sting away. I really like the roll-on applicator. I apply in the morning and it lasts all day. Very good product.

First use it felt like a hornet sting. As the sting lessoned, it started to feel warm, tingly and itchy. With subsequent uses it seems the pain is less every time I feel a light warm tingling feeling or like a very mild sunburn. It goes away after about five minutes. I’m using it on my neck for a pinched nerve. It definitely does seem to relax the area pretty quickly and decrease the pain. For me the slight burning feels like it’s working and it’s not bothersome anymore.

It’s unfair to give this product a poor review before understanding that it’s not a “bad product”. This is SUPPOSED to get really warm. If it’s causing skin sensitivity, it’s super easy to thwart that. If people do just a small amount of research they can avoid the discomfort. DSMO can work just fine as it comes for some & be too warm or cause skin sensitivity for others. The way to remedy that is to dilute the product SLIGHTLY with either distilled water or 100% Aloe Vera. DMSO is SUPPOSED to get warm upon contact of skin application & of any container it’s mixed in. It lasts only a few seconds. Diluting it the a bowl will warm slightly too. Just because your skin was sensitive to the warmth does not mean it’s a poor product - it’s just the makeup of it. If you’re concerned, purchase the 8oz glass bottle & dilute w/distilled water. Make a 70/30 or 60/40 mixture. The more it’s diluted the less heat but the less effective too. (You definitely want the higher percentage amount to be dmso). And yes, it MUST BE distilled water!! The reason is bcz it absorbs through the skin so quickly that it pulls anything it’s mixed with right into the skin with it & anything that’s already on the skin too. So clean the skin surface with peroxide 1st (not isopropyl alcohol). If you want you can use what’s inside this roll-on & that can be diluted too. For the sake of the people who found their skin too sensitive for this roll on, Im describing a way to use it without having to return or waste it. Simply turn the bottle upside down & squeeze some of the product (gel) into a small bowl, (I used a very small Tupperware container w/a lid) then add a couple tablespoons of distilled water, I capped it, shook to mix (& yes the container became slightly warm for a few seconds) & then I used it just like that. It worked just fine. I dipped a cotton ball in & rubbed it into my knee & lower back. It worked just fine. Any smell of garlic disappears once it’s completely dry. I poured the rest into a glass dropper bottle & stored to use later. Yes it can be premixed & used later. I hope this helps people bcz the poor reviews seem to be coming from those who haven’t looked into how versatile DSMO is.

Belated research is showing me that unless the DMSO is of prescription quality (that is, prescribed by a healthcare professional and acquired through a pharmacy), an off-the-shelf product may be industrial grade and unsafe to use. For about 10-days I was delighted with the roll-on version of DMSO as it eliminated pain in a problem knee that kept me awake nights. Unfortunately, I began to experience irritated red skin over the entire kneecap. Soon, this was accompanied by a light, but constant itching. It is likely that I am allergic to this product--but at the same time, this was purchased off-the-shelf, and I have no idea if it's industrial grade, and perhaps simply too strong. The label on the roll-on bottle says "Pharma Grade". But is it really? I have no way of really knowing as it didn't come from a pharmacy.Also--AND THIS IS IMPORTANT: Nowhere on the roll-on bottle were instructions for use, or number of times a day the product could be/should be safely used. Surprisingly, there was no instruction sheet either. In retrospect, I should have seen both the lack of use instructions on the label and lack of any kind of brochure as problematic. I didn't--and here we are. My suggestion: Do not buy this product off-the-shelf without first speaking to your doctor or other health professional.

This is an amazing produce. I am middle 80's, and use it for treating issues on my skin like moles, acne, etc.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The only thing that solves my daily neck pain. Yes there is temporary skin burning, but it works for me unlike weaker diluted creams. Amazing product, lifesaver!
