CitriNu Acetyl Glutathione Balm - General Aches and Pains - Coconut Cream Skin Care Products - 4 oz

I've been using this for years and just love it! I store in the fridge so that it doesn't get runny, and then I rub it on my wrists and on the back of my neck. It improves my mood and helps me think more clearly. Seriously. State of the art product. I call it my happy cream.

I had high hopes for this product after seeing Walter, who formulated the product, give personal testimony as to it helping his nerve pain. Unfortunately for me it’s just another cream that hasn’t worked. While the idea of glutathione in a topical product is intriguing, there are no studies supporting its use in this manner.

Uh, oh! Problem opening this little jar! It arrived early this morning, and I did open it with not a problem. The Balm was filled to the top, and appeared to be a pale yellow solid cream with no particular odor. It sat on my counter until this evening when I thought I would further investigate it's properties. Well, it was no longer solid! Upon opening, it got tilted and a portion spilled out onto the counter top. What an oily mess! Did manage to salvage most back into the jar, but what to do with what was left on the counter, before cleanup? I had been planning on applying some on the back of my neck and across my shoulders where there was some tension, so that's where some of the Balm went. I noticed that the jar recommended 1/8 teaspoon, but I had more all over my fingers, so just slathered it on under my shirt. Actually, it seems to have calmed down the tenseness, and soaked into my skin beautifully, so that pleases me. Apparently the Acetyl-Glutathione in the formula is an excellent antioxidant and free radical fighter, and the oils of coconut and olive are also helpful. The jar is now in the fridge. (I actually had a similar experience with a tin of natural Shea Butter that was in it's liquid state when it arrived, and had leaked all over!) I think the label wording about the Balm's changing properties should have been more noticeable, more of a warning. Only 3 stars. Tomorrow, I'll try again when it's in the solid state.

This balm is very thick. However, since it is made with coconut oil, it melts quickly and easily on the skin temperature. It will not make your skin greasy. Some of the benefits of acetyl gluthatione are: Antioxidant activity, cancer progression prevention, cell damage in liver disease reduction, improves insulin sensitivity, reduces symptoms of Parkinson's disease, reduces ulcerative colitis damage, treats autism spectrum disorders, making DNA, the building blocks of proteins and cells, supports immune function, forms sperm cells, breaks down some free radicals, helps certain enzymes function, regenerates vitamins C and E, transports mercury out of the brain, helps the liver and gallbladder deal with fats, assists regular cell death (a process known as apoptosis) and the list goes on and on. While this cream make have a name that is hard to pronounce the benefits are numerous.

This was a difficult one for me. While I ordered this to seek relief from workout pains, for my daughter, I didn't really get that result. It might be that it just needs more time. Apparently, it is not a balm to bring immediate relief. However, she did enjoy the way the balm made her skin feel. CitriNu Acetyl Glutathione Balm - General Aches and Pains - Coconut Cream Skin Care Products. It's billed as a cream for general aches and pains. She didn't get any immediate relief, well, ANY relief, it seems, but liked the way felt on her skin. It starts a out as a solid, (coconut cream,) then, the heat of your body melts it to an oil, and then it soaks right in to her skin. She has VERY dry skin, and is always on the hunt for a miracle lotion. It's not why I ordered it. She's going to use it as a lotion for her dry skin. Unintended results, to be sure, at least it's a beneficial consequence, so it wont go to waste. A good skin cream, but no pain relief.

When you open this jar, you see what appears to be a hard white balm. But when you rub your finger into the substance, it melts almost right away and you end up with a very wet and oily finger. Sometimes I find that it can be a little tricky pulling this stuff out so that you have the right amount to move over to the body part you need to rub this into. Once you do, this balm gets watery wet and turns to a liquidy oil. That does help for rubbing it around and absorption, but you then you have to contend with the oil. You may or may not like that.As far as relieving pain goes, this really hasn't done much for me. A tiny bit, but not much at all. To be honest, this is a better balm to relieve dry skin than aches and pains. So if it doesn't work for you, use it as a skin balm, and if you're lucky, maybe it will occasionally relieve you of some aches and pains.Considering that it doesn't seem to work all that well, I believe that it is over-priced.

It specifies to shake it well upon receiving and then store it in the refrigerator; it’s like water otherwise. It’s main ingredient is actually Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and it’s second main ingredient is Organic Virgin Olive Oil, which are both fine ingredients but, this is meant to deal with pain and this stuff turns almost to stone when stored cold. It melts almost instantly on the fingers but, I’d assume a Butter Knife, or some utensil will have to be used to get it out. It’s definitely great for moisture, has quality ingredients and it feels good but, I just couldn’t recommend for pain relief because it’s very slight for me.

This arrives in a nice tub with screw-off lid. Instructions say if it is liquid to put it in the refrigerator to harden but I like that it is a body oil. I did shake it to evenly distribute. It has a great faint fragrance that smells fresh. It is soothing and absorbs pretty quickly feeling very natural. Glutathione showed up low on the last laboratory test I took and I wonder if using this balm will raise the reading to normal levels? That would be nice. In any event I like this CitriNu Acetyl Glutathione Balm and found no need to take pain medicine while using it.
