    Works [okay] but not extra strength as advertised

    I have suffered from allergies, sinusitis, and sinus migraines for most of my life, so I was excited for this product as an alternative to oral/internal medicines to alleviate my symptoms.

    I was also excited for the hands free aspect of this product, since it's normally messy to apply any type of mentholatum product, the clean-up is greasy, and the smell stays on your hands for hours afterward. The roll on aspect is good BUT the product is sometimes difficult to dispense, requiring the user to squeeze the bottle or lay down in order to apply a sufficient amount to the skin.

    The consistency is still a bit thick and greasy, which means it doesn't absorb into the skin when applying to the face, leaving a thin layer of 'greasy' shine visible, unless you rub it into the skin with your hands which negates the best feature: hands-free.

    I also find that this product isn't extra strength as promised; Vicks and other store brand vapor rubs are usually stronger than this product, which means it doesn't work for more than an hour or so, and needs to be reapplied much more often than traditional vapor rub. When reapplying, I usually have to remove some of the residual [greasy] product leftover on my skin from the previous applications otherwise the reapplication isn't as strong or effective.

    Overall, I would recommend this product to traditional Vicks/vapor rubs when I need to alleviate sinus congestion BUT I am still looking for an alternative that is stronger/requires less applications, and is easier to apply without clogging or forcing the product out by force.

    Mess free, works great!

    I received MENTHOLATUM NO MESS ROLL ON VAPOURIZING RUB free to try as part of the review club. My review is a bit late because I wanted to review the product when one of my little ones was ill. This product went on mess free, I LOVED the roller application. It absorbed quickly and helped put my kids at ease. The smell was great and made my little ones feel soothed and calm. The mentholatum helped clear sinuses and ease coughs providing a better nights sleep when my loved ones were feeling unwell. It is definitely something I will buy again and keep on hand for cough & cold season!

    Would not switch

    I received mentholatum no mess roll on as part of Family Rated to try in return for my review. It was actually perfect timing when I received it as I had just started feeling a tingle in throat. I used the roll on that night and woke up feeling worse and with no relief. I did not get any of the menthol smell that helps to relieve my nose. I just did not find it as effective as Vicks is (even if it is messier) in providing relief. I probably would not buy this for myself.

    Pas de gâchis!

    En fait ce produit je l'ai trouvé vraiment génial au début, car c'est vrai qu'il ne fait absolument aucun gâchis! Et il s'étend bien, a une bonne odeur, les enfants aiment en étendre sur leur corps. Parcontre je me serais attendu à ce que le produit soit plus fort et plus concentré, je n'avais pas l'impression qu'il était exploité à son plein potentiel comme d'autres produits qu'on avait l'habitude de sentir lorsque nous en étendions sur notre thorax lors d'une bonne grippe! J'ai eu la chance d'essayer le produit Mentholatum sur une piqure et ça a bien fonctionné! Un bon 3 sur 5 pour ce produit!

    Contente de l'avoir essayé

    Bonjour j'ai reçu gratuitement Mentholatum no mess roll on vapourizing rub pour pouvoir l'essayer. Chose faite mais pas évident quand il n'y a personne d'enrhumee!! Alors j'ai testé quand même sur moi même. Odeur agréable de menthe et qui dégage les voies nasales. J'ai eu beaucoup de difficulté à faire sortir le produit, mais un coup réussi je ne me suis pas sali les mains mais par contre reste graisseux sur la peau comme le vick's vaporum. Je le recommande à tous car plus besoin de se graisser les mains et pour son agréable odeur!

    Sans Gâchis mais loin d'être Ultra-Fort!

    J'adore l'applicateur sans gâchis (qui se compare au format d'un déodorant à bille) mais je trouve que la puissance du baume est très faible (comparé au Vicks Vaporub que nous utilisons depuis toujours).

    Ceci étant dit, pour un jeune enfant c'est adéquat à condition de passer le produit plusieurs fois sur une même région.

    En conclusion, le concept est génial mais malheureusement le produit s'est révélé peu efficace pour soulager un bon rhume.

    J'ai eu la chance de recevoir ce produit gratuitement en échange de mon honnête opinion. #gratuit # cadeau

    The convenience of a roll on applicator.

    My soon to be three year old daughter has been having a slightly stuffy nose for the past few nights so I decided to apply this to her chest and she slept so much better. After a few applications she seems to breath so much easier. I love that this has a no mess roll on applicator. It's way less messy than the original rub. Although this does leave an oily film on the skin it eventually absorbs and doesnt stain the clothes at all. Even though the packaging says extra strength it really isnt that potent. If you have a really bad cold you might want to reach for vicks vapor rub. However if youre looking for a natural, light nasal decongestant and cough suppressant this is perfect. I was fortunate to try this for free and will continue to purchase this for my daughter as it worked effectively for her and it seems more mild.

    Convenient, but not very strong

    I received Mentholatum No Mess Vaporizing Rub free for my honest review. It was really good timing because I currently have a bad cold. I found the application similar to antiperspirant, but it only comes it in a very thin layer. I had to roll it on my chest and throat multiple times in order to feel like I even had it on. It defiantly lives up its name about 'no mess,' but it is a lot weaker than my previous brand. I have put it on twice now, but I don't notice a difference in my congestion or cough. I like the feeling of coolness that is common with menthol cold remedies, but this roll on does not have it. Unfortunately I will be going back to my messy other brand because it works.
