About This Zostrix Capsaicin Cream

Capsaicin is the compound that gives chili peppers their warmth. This cream brings that signature warm, tingling feel to the skin where you apply it. Rafa Laboratories, an Israeli manufacturer, makes and licenses the product.

The tube is compact enough for a medicine cabinet, a gym bag, or a travel kit. A small amount covers the area, so the 30 g size lasts through many applications.

The listing notes that the cream rubs in easily and leaves no residue once absorbed. Many households keep one tube at home and one in a travel bag. The cap closes securely after each use. The classic tube also suits a desk drawer. Keep the leaflet with the tube for easy reference. Check the box for the expiry date before each use.
