not sure, but I ordered the roll on I use the biofreeze in my massage practice, it's the best topical cream or gel on the market. I also use the gel, however, I like the roll on, it's not so messy, as long as the product say's it's got Ilex in it, your good to go. God Bless

I've used biofreeze in roll on and cream versions and they all provide that cooling menthol feel. I've never actually seen it advertised with reference with menthol.

Yes, it has a menthol/wintergreen smell. I grew up using BenGay and it smells very similar, but works MUCH better.

No lanolin is contained in biofreeze; glycerin is listed in the inactive ingredients, but no lanolin. The active ingredient is menthol USP 4%, which has a strong smell; however, the odor quickly fades away, and the menthol still feels soothing for a good long time.

Not that I could tell. I just found that the Biofreeze didn't help me much. Plus it smelled a lot and I had a hard time removing it from my hands once I washed them with plenty of soap.

Yes, Bio Freeze does have a fragrance, but it is not as strong and long lasting as products such as Ben Gay-I do not find it unpleasant.

It appears that the Perform has less menthol. Here is link as to why the original biofreeze was taken off of the shelves and the new Perform was created. http://www.massagemag.com/cvs-agrees-to-remove-biofreeze-from-shelves-5471/

Biofreeze actually does have an expiration date. I just noticed mine here at work expired a year ago but it still works. My husband goes through a case in about 7 months, so I had never paid much attention to the expiration date. I had a large pump size for many years and it never 'went bad'. I like the roll-on size because it isn't so messy. Hope this helped!

My experience is that the expiration date on the bottle is about 18 months from when purchased. You can email the company at www.biofreeze.com and ask this question under "contact us."

To me, not a lot. the 4% will have a stronger smell but unsure how long the smell will last. This is gone in about five minutes. My wife uses in her office 3-5 times a day and after a few minutes people come in and never know she has used it.For pain? I really do not know. It should help some. If I could get Biofreeze w/ 4% I would but any other product, I do not know.

The bottle doesn't say how much menthol is in it but it is listed pretty low on the list of ingredients if it follows the general guidelines of most>least I'd say not much. Its more of a peppermint smell/feeling than a menthol. The cooling is not overwhelming or very potent. I personally prefer a higher cooling feeling but this does the job and is nice smelling and not too greasy. I'd say it cools for maybe 20min tops. But not much or at all if I'm full fledge hot flashing.

This is what I found in looking for the answer to your question. Biofreeze uses an herb called Ilex. This herb is extracted from a holly plant in South America and then shipped to Pennsylvania to be made into Biofreeze. Ilex acts as an instant cold application and also helps the gel sink deeper through the skin's layers. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4679702_biofreeze-work.html

Yes. I only purchase bio-freeze. I looked up my order and it said 32 oz BioFreeze, pump.

The herbal menthol (green box) is fine although not as good as the licorice. The black current is too sweet.

Biofreeze has a mild menthol odor when applying but the odor disappears quickly and becomes unnoticeable.

I've used Biofreeze with the applicator & it works just fine. Actually, it holds anything that won't run off such as water.

Yes, it's similar in effect to ethyl chloride spray...and much different than Biofreeze.
