I am a bit hesitant about Penetrex.... Arnica for example is designed for the skin, but not for deep tissue use.
So this penetrating vehicle may not be suitable in the long run for arnica.

I tried arnica years ago....NOTHING...did nothing for me.
Biofreeze has reformulated its product recently, so you may find various complaints about that on the Amazon reviews. I think they also took the blue coloring out of it, but I am not sure.
I still have an older tube around here. It is especially good for burning sensations at night. My PT used it mixed half and half with the ultrasound gel, for my treatments. It allowed her to ramp up the power for better penetration into my hip tendons.
