Hey everyone, and welcome back to the blog! Today, I’m sharing my recent collaboration with No, Thank You™, a West Coast based company that specializes in CBD concentrated skincare and positive energy! Still confused? Just in case you missed the boat, check out their website found here!

As a runner, I experience random pain in my joints. More specifically, my knees are often irritated after a long run. I’ve been looking for a new cream or serum to reduce the pain.

Don’t get me wrong, using an ice pack or two can get the job done, but I’m looking for an alternative. Sitting with a cold compress on your joints is the last thing I want to do before hitting the sack. I was fortunate enough to receive a sample from No, Thank You™. They sent over their signature  “A Cream For Relief” product.

Packaging

As most skincare products, “A Cream For Relief” arrived in a small box. Reminder, they sent a sample size, and not the entire bottle. That said, I didn’t expect a large package.

The cream itself was placed inside a clear, 15 ml container, with a black screw lid to open.

Value

For a regular size, 50 ml container, the No, Thank You™ team is selling “A Cream For Relief” for $95. Although it’s a little on the pricy side, its still in the ball park for most high end skincare prices.  If you ask me, it’s worth the money!

Product

According to the official website, “Massage into affected area area until the cream is absorbed. Feel the tingle!” It’s that simple.

I applied the cream using two fingertips, and gently applied it to my pain areas. Make sure you don’t use too much, since the scent is strong. You don’t want to smell like a walking peppermint the entire day.

Within seconds, I felt the tingling sensation. After a couple days of use, the pain in my knees reduced significantly, especially while running.

A Cream for Relief
The Good: Pain reduction! Plus, I love the peppermint scent.
The Bad: Nothing at all!

Overall

This was my first time using a CBD cream, and I was more than satisfied! On a high school grading scale, I would give “A Cream for Relief” an A+ for effort and execution. Now that I found a solution to my achy knees, I’m really excited to get the full size, 50 ml cream!
