From Safest to Most Expensive, Here are the 5 CBD Creams for Pain RANKED

Whether you’re looking for a short amount of relief to help ease muscle tension or a continuous pain reliever to ease symptoms of chronic pain, it can be hard to find the right CBD Cream. Many offer big solutions without delivering results. Some can be more dangerous than you’d think, and others are just too expensive to afford for daily use.

Thankfully, for you, we ranked FIVE CBD creams that should be on your radar. So you can finally stop worrying about which creams to choose and start getting back to a healthy, fulfilling life.

1. OVERALL VALUE: Y PAIN CREAM

Effectiveness: 95%
Safety: 90%
Price: $
Overall: A

Y Pain Cream has it all, a good value, safe ingredients, and (brace yourself) it works! We first tried Y when we were offered a 50% OFF discount code SECRET50. The company helps provide you with different forms of pain relief based on the type of symptoms you’re experiencing. From arthritis to back pain to nerve pain and more, Y’s concentrated formula, made from a mix of natural ingredients is effective and safe, which to be honest, can be hard to find.

2. BEST COOLING: POPULUM HEMP CBD RUB

Effectiveness: 82%
Safety: 80%
Price: $$$
Overall: B

Populum has received good reviews for its cooling ability on painful areas. However, as a "rub" it's slightly thicker, and not easy to use. If you're looking to cover a good amount of area of the body, you may have trouble. Plus, for the price you can find a better cream that's guaranteed to work.

3. FOR SMALL USE: CHARLOTTE'S WEB BALM

‍

Effectiveness: 85%
Safety: 80%
Price: $$
Overall: B

If you only need a small amount of CBD cream, Charlotte's Web offers a good balm. It has a good effectiveness rate, however, the fact that it's intended for small use means if you have big pain, this won't be the best option.

4. NOT SO EASY APPLY: CBDMD FREEZE ROLLER

Effectiveness: 75%
Safety: 90%
Price: $
Overall: B

CBDMD's Freeze Roller comes in a variety of strengths, which is great depending on your pain level. It doesn't offer any specifics to types of pain like  Y Pain Cream, but it does work. The roller isn't the best way to apply in our opinion. Though it does help get to hard-to-reach places, it's quite difficult to know how even your distribution is when applying.

‍

5. THE WORST: CBDFX CREAM

Effectiveness: 49%
Safety: 70%
Price: $$$
Overall: D

CBDFX Cream feels more like shaving cream than a lotion. It's sticky and doesn't rub in all that well. You should watch out for any CBD cream that comes in a bottle like this one. Often the added ingredients and texture are a big turn off.

WHY WE CHOSE Y PAIN CREAM

We wanted to talk further with our investigative reporter Stefanie Miller on why she chose Y Pain Cream as her top choice for a CBD pain cream. Stefanie tells the story.

When I was 22 I was diagnosed with a rare case of arthritis. For the longest time, I’ve dealt with sore hands, tightness in my joints, and even muscle pain, so I’m always looking for the best type of pain relief.

Personally, I never found CBD creams for pain to be very effective. I often opted for oral medication, but it can become overwhelming and incapacitating, especially on days that I would like to get out of the house and function as a normal adult. It was this reason alone I began searching for another method that may work a little better.

That’s when my good friend showed me Y Pain Cream. She recently threw her back out and her doctor recommended it with the 50% OFF discount code SECRET50. I used the discount code as well to get my shipment of pain relief cream to try.

A few days later my package arrived. The packaging for Y was the first thing to impress me about the company. It’s clear, concise, and provides instructions right on the casing (you’d be surprised how many CBD cream brands forget to show you proper instructions, it’s quite frustrating).

That said, the instructions were rather easy. Simply apply a generous amount of the cream to the areas of your body that are experiencing pain twice a day, in the morning and at night.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Y’s patented formula impacts an important receptor involved in pain, stress, and inflammation, called TRPV1, as well as GPR55, 5HTI-alpha, and adenosine A2A, which also cause inflammation, pain, and anxiety. The direct topical application of hemp cream directly meets these receptors for hyper-targeted pain treatment.

What’s most important is that, unlike an oral treatment, the pain reliever doesn’t need to travel through your bloodstream, so you can concentrate your pain relief to the areas of your body that hurt.

I found with my arthritis, which often would only hurt in my hands, I would take pain reliever that made my entire body a little numb, and I didn’t like that.

DOES Y PAIN CREAM WORK?

The first day I received Y Pain Cream, I applied it to my hands, back, and neck before bed as they tend to be the areas that bother me the most at night, and especially when waking up. To be honest, I fell asleep quite quickly that night so I didn’t notice a change. However, when I woke up, I was surprised at how refreshed I felt. No soreness, no tightness in muscles, and I even stayed in bed for an extra 30 minutes (which I never do as my body tends to be in too much pain to stay still).

With Y, I found applying twice a day was enough to drastically reduce the pain in my hands and joints. I actually found myself forgetting that I even had pain, which is rare when you have chronic arthritis.

DOES THE PAIN RELIEF LAST?

Something I really wanted to test out was the ability for Y Pain Cream to consistently deliver. A lot of times with CBD creams they work for the first few days and slowly their effectiveness fades because your body becomes accustomed. It’s often why people turn to opioids because they’re so strong that they seem to be effective every time you take them (it’s also why they’re so addicting)

WEEK 1:

I used Y Pain Cream every day in the morning and at night. Found an effective decrease in pain. I was able to type for about an hour longer than I usually can, and had a better night’s sleep every night.

WEEK 2:

Wednesday and Thursday I didn’t use Y Pain Cream at night before bed as I had no noticeable pain. I woke up each morning slightly sore, but applying in the morning helped reduce the pain pretty much to zero by the time I finished breakfast.

WEEK 3:

I switched off about every day from applying Y Pain Cream at night as it seemed to be so effective that I didn’t need it as much as it was recommended. That was a shocker, as more often I find pain relievers are less effective than they promise and you end up using more than you think.

MY FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I’m a new believer in CBD creams, especially Y Pain Cream. It effectively reduced my pain in the areas I needed it to focus on and helped me get out of bed and keep moving throughout the day without noticeable discomfort. I highly recommend Y Pain Reliever for your muscles, joints, and nerves.
