I never thought I’d find myself writing a negative post that included the words cream and rub. But, alas, this is a post about the usefullness of sports creams. They sell like crazy. They are incredibly tempting when you have an ache and live near a pharmacy. They often feel like they’re doing something. And they certainly smell like they are.
But there really is no evidence that sports creams help one bit.
But if you are among the few who dig that methyl salicylate smell, I wouldn’t worry. People will keep on rubbing.
