Massaging it in actually make a difference
A few weeks ago I randomly started rubbing it in a little after applying, maybe like 1–3 minutes instead of just spraying one spot and waiting.
And honestly… it felt noticeably different. Not really stronger, just smoother. Before, sometimes the effect felt uneven. Like one area would feel way too dull while other spots barely felt affected at all. Since I started spreading it around more evenly, it feels way more balanced.
The weird thing is it actually feels less numbing this way even though the control is better. I’ve also noticed it works better after a warm shower. My guess is maybe the skin absorbs it more evenly or something. No idea if there’s actual science behind that though.
My routine lately has basically been: warm shower, dry off a bit, light application, rub it in for like 2 minutes, wait around half an hour.
That’s been working way better for me than just blasting one area and hoping for the best.
