Dencorub Extra Strength Heat Gel

Waste of money – I have felt no sensation of heat, no pain relief. Deep Heat is much superior. This has done absolutely nothing, how on earth they sell this I don't know. Show details

Don't Bother Stick to Deep Heat – I tried this product, no heat, but felt cold, pain stayed as no relief, such a waste of money, the whole house smells like dencorub, I wonder if the people who make this product read these reviews, I hope they do. Feel ripped off. Show details

Very poor – I expected a lot more. After three applications a very mild heat. Tried Deep Heat first - no heat at all! The opposite - deep cold! Used heat rubs often 20 years ago - much better then. Seems all these products have deteriorated over time. Cynical, but as price goes up quality goes down. Won't buy any of these again. Show details

It works! – Many people are complaining that it burns, yes it would if you use much! Don't put much, use small amount and rub gently. it's an awesome product and good value of money. Show details

This is great stuff, I always have a spare tube – Iv'e tried similar creams but this is really powerful, I get a lot of shoulder pain and I cannot wait to rub this in when I wake up, it feels cold but hot at the same time, the pain goes almost instantly and I use it at bedtime so I have a good nights sleep, I have not had any bad side effects from this gel which is easier to rub in than the cream, so I will continue to use it. Show details

Hot and effective! – Very good pain relief. Use voltaren if you can’t handle the heat of this product.It clearly states don’t use after showering as it will burn you!!! I definitely Would recommend Love it Show details

Useless – I have aways used Deep Heat, but the missus picked me up a tube of Dencorub Extra Strength Heat Gel 6 days ago. 1st application had a great menthol type smell, rubbed it in, and that was that, no heat, no penetration, just a smell, tried it again the next day, same smell, unfortunately same result, no heat, no relief. Applied it again just now figuring it must be me, no difference, Absolute waste of time and a rip off. Show details

First no heat, then too much heat – My partner has muscle aches and joint pains all the time and bought the gel to try to help. The first time we tried it it applied no heat to the areas. We thought not much of it. The next time we used a few days later, not only did she end up in the shower for 15 minutes complaining about it feeling like a chemical burn and I had to have my hand under cold water for 10 minutes after applying it on her. DO NOT USE Show details

No heat – Just bought a tube of this because it was supposed to be the hottest. Followed the instructions to the letter and only just started to feel mild warmth (30 mins since application). Very disappointed. Show details

No heat anymore – This is probably the 5th different tube I have bought and have used it in the past for lower back pain but I am finding that nothing is producing heat like they used to.  Show details

My skin is peeling like sunburn – I had really bad pain just under my knee and down my shin, so I thought I would try Dencorub extra strength, well I wish I didn't. I've spent my afternoon peeling the skin on my leg like it's been sunburnt. Now my leg is sore to tough and it stings to have a shower. This product should come with a warning saying may cause burns. Show details

Awesome Product ideal for intense aches and Pains in general and life,s functions etc – i used this type of product from memory some time in my life as i do use my muscles and back for various tasks when needed and it,s a non greasy application to the area whether it,s the muscles or back or those nerve areas on the anatomy and got the real penetration for any one out there who needs something a bit stronger and it,s a bit warmer… Read more

than Goanna Deep heat but it helps to penetrate and soothe those aches and pains and idea for those older or senior citizen generation's out there and it does kick in and heat up quite fast and all but one it evens out it,s not that bad really

It felt like a chemical burn – My wife rubbed some in my back for me. Felt pretty good at first. About 2 mins later it started buring. Got worse. So jumped in the shower it felt like a chemical burn. I was worried and was considering medocal help. Pain went away about 20 mins later. Redness of my skin that looks like a burn still present hours later. Bad stuff.  Show details

Burnt me! – My mum applied to my back and within a minute I was burning. Not just hot like what my chiro uses, which burns for a few hours. Literally have burning red marks that feel like I'm on fire. Crying from the pain. Have wiped as much as possible off but am disabled so jumping in the shower is not an option. Show details

LITERALLY BURNS – I used this product for a pulled muscle, and not even one minute later I was screaming and crying because this product literally started burning my skin. Jumped in the shower to get it off, and after could see massive red welts from where the Dencorub had been applied. An hour later, the pain and welts were still present. Show details

Beware severe side effects/ adverse events can occur – Cheap but potentially very nasty. I had a serious adverse reaction to this that lasted for close to a week. I could not bear any touch to my skin and felt like I had experienced a serious burn or grazing of the skin. Pain was unbearable and I had to keep up a high dose of pain killers for a week to be able to function. Will never use again or recommend and fork out the extra dollars to see a physiotherapist next time.

No Heat!!! – I have used this product for quite some time and it has worked a treat. But found recently, in the last few tubes, there is NO heat at all once applied. Faulty batch? I have returned 3 tubes so far and will have to try another product :( Am in the process now of notifying Decorub. Anyone else find that the product isnt doing what it should?? I'm in Brisbane, Australia btw.

Helps with my headaches – I suffer from terrible tension headaches, I clench my jaw constantly and am in a lot of pain from it. When I feel one of these migraine headaches coming on if I use dencorub sometimes they'll go away or lesson them significantly. This product has seriously changed my life. Yes, it burns but it's worth it. I rub it all along my jaw line, neck, and temples. I recommend it for headaches.

Whoops, that hurts – So I have had neck pains for a week, deep heat and ice gel didn't help. So I tried this product and now I regret using it. it burnt like hell!!!! My neck is red from it. at first it burns, then dies down, then feels cool and then burns!!! Well....I tried it, I understand why it's cheap....and I probably won't use it again. WARNING IS BURNS & IT HURTS!

Fantastic – It was amazing. Tried nurofen gel and normal dencorub. No pain relief. This stuff really works. The base of my thumbs get ligament pain from overuse and there is no way to support except with tape which is restrictive. This gel works. The heat is nothing extreme if you've got real pain and is the very reason it works.

Great stuff – Works great. Yes it gets hot but that is the point. If used as directed it is great. Just a tip. Do NOT leave in the bedside cabinet beside your lube. Ex fiancé did not appreciate the accidental burning of his... um... bits. On the up side. It eventually does wash off with lots of soap and cold water.

Hot yes But Effective – I have just recently started using this. Whilst it is hot on the skin, the heat factor was fine after 10 minutes and certainly helped alleviate all the symptoms of my restless leg syndrome.

Effective but beware..read the warnings before you use it – I have used this twice. The first time was fine .. quite effective and it lasted nearly 4 hours. The second time was after my showe and omg the burn was boarderline pain .. and i have a red mark to show for it. I wiped gently with a damp cloth and put a plain cream on .. it helped me... i can say for sure that apart from that it does the job

Not sure – Not sure if the gel is really helping or just the way i apply it is more effective.... my husband have ongoing pain on his lower back and i bought manyof heated gel/ patches. We tried this one this week and he said the heated he could feel from ths gel is a lil bit itchy but as soon as i started doing some circular movement while applying it , he… Read more

said it relieves a bit. The smell is quite strong and quite uncomfotable but i guess it does help as after massaging the spot with the gel for 15 min, the pain was a lot less than usual.

Awesome product – It's hot and it's suppose to be like that. I understand that most people can't handle it, and if you can't don't take it. It does however work very, very well. It's cheap as well which makes it even better as it is a product that has the possibility to reach everyone.

Good for muscle pain – Initial application was followed by a burning sensation akin to sunburn or a chemical burn however it could have just been working its magic on my muscle spasms . It did serve its purpose and eased my severe shoulder pain. Had a good night's sleep without being awoken from the shoulder pain.

This product is EFFECTIVE !! – I found the Dencorub Extra Strength Heat Gel effective. I did not get an excruciating burning sensation like a lot of people on here have said (I am assuming they may have sensitive skin). The Extra Strength Heat Gel was applied all over my back, particularly my neck, upper back & shoulders as I get extremely tense muscles after working out. I… Read more

found it to be helpful and my neck & shoulders feel a lot less tense! For me personally, I did not have a negative reaction or experience with this product, in fact, it was the opposite!

Maybe test the gel before applying it properly to avoid any discomfort.

Burning hell!!! – Due to back pain I decided to try Deep Heat Extra you know that saying "I will try anything to get rid of this pain" well I can't stress enough to anyone thinking about using this, to STAY AWAY from extra strength deep heat! The first five minutes were a little "ohhh ahhh" to minutes later running round like a headless chicken in tears almost… Read more

feeling like my skin was being burnt off! I am not exaggerating! It was that bad, I tried everything to take the burning away but it just got hotter and hotter!

I would have rather dealt with the back pain on its own, than use this horrid stuff!

I would say if you are into BDSM and enjoy pain, and want something different to try in the bedroom, then this stuff is great for pain!! But for Me, this is a HARD limit ha ha. Never again. ☠

No way, never again – Rubbed it in on my neck and shoulders 1 minute later I was bawling in pain trying to get it off in the shower. This product burns your skin, not a good burn, a stinging terrible burn!

Exruciating burning sensation – I would not recommend this at all. I have serious neck pain from time to time and usually use a standard Deep Heat/Dencorub gel. I opted for the Extra Strength a couple of days ago and every time I use it, it's just caused unbearable burning/pain. As another reviewer commented, not a nice heat pain, but a very painful one. I can't believe this is still being sold. I'd recommend a standard-strength gel, stay away from this one.

This product needs a warning ⚠️ sign?? – I used it in spot sections like my neck and it did burn but I could deal with it. Then I had it applied all over my back and it felt like whatever chemical they use in it was burning away at my skin and I don't mean that great deep heat burn I mean like that painful burn that had me running to the shower in tears. I'm pretty good with pain but… Read more

this was extreme... I personally wouldn't recommend it but if you're going to use it don't apply a big amount. Maybe rub a little into an area and spot test, just to save yourself the redness and the burning.

Best pain reliever in the world! – I used to wake up in agony and have tried everything ie. Deep heat and what not. Then i found dencorub i am pain free all day. Thanku dencorub! :)

Product you have to be very, very careful with – I had ankle pain and applied the night before. Next morning pain was gone! I went for a long walk and got a shock that I had a very big bright red mark around my ankle. I did have fitted elastin topped socks at the time but didn't feel any discomfort. Now it feels hot but doesn't really hurt but it looks really awful. I guess it does warn against bandaging and maybe the socks imitated that but i was surprised it happened day after applying.
