Guide Review - You Won't Smell Like Liniment Wearing ALCiS Pain Reliever to Soothe Muscles

The first time I slathered ALCiS on my sore muscles my husband commented that the smell didn't drive him away - a too-common event when using smellier sports creams and ointments to get temporary relief from overdoing the weekend warrior scene. We each tried ALCiS a few times after golf, skiing and hiking, then passed samples along to friends. The universal response was: ALCiS does banish or minimize aches and pains for a few hours at a time, and it's so nice not to smell like liniment.
