Opt for **recovery-focused creams** with active ingredients. We’ve broken it down below so you can pick what works best. ## Product Comparison: Premax Creams & Lotions | Product Name | Best For | Texture / Feel | Key Benefits | Scent | | [**Premax Original Cream**](https://premax.co/collections/massage-creams-and-lotions/products/original-massage-cream) | Physio & performance massage | High-tack cream | Optimal grip, perfect for tape prep | Mild citrus | | **[Premax Recovery Cream](https://pillarsports.com/product-category/premax/recovery-massage/)** | Post-workout or DOMS relief | Medium glide lotion | Contains arnica, menthol, magnesium | Menthol cooling | | **[Premax Lotion](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-classic-massage-lotion-1000ml/)** | Long massage sessions | Light, high-glide | Smooth application, great for large areas | Unscented | | **[Premax Anti-Friction Balm](https://pillarsports.com/product-tag/anti-friction-balm/)** | Endurance athletes & cyclists | Waxy balm | Reduces chafing, water- & sweat-resistant | Neutral | | **[Premax Warm Up Cream](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-warm-up-cream-formula-ep5-100g/)** | Pre-training activation | Medium cream | Boosts circulation, warms muscle tissue | Mild heat scent | ## Featured Premax Products ### **PRE-EVENT OR WARM-UP MASSAGE** Pre-event massage helps activate the muscles and prepare the body for physical activity. It’s typically done using firm, brisk strokes to stimulate circulation. For athletes who prefer a warming sensation, the **[Premax Warm Up Cream Formula EP5](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-warm-up-cream-formula-ep5-100g/)** is a gradual-absorption heat rub designed to increase surface temperature and blood flow. For longer warm-up sessions, pair it with the **[Premax Classic Massage Lotion](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-classic-massage-lotion-1000ml/)**, which offers high glide and smooth application. Another excellent option is the ** [Premax Activate Massage Cream](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-activate-massage-cream/)**, which has medium resistance and a natural ingredient blend that helps prime the skin and muscles for sport. [[ ### **CLINIC MASSAGE** For general clinic use—especially over medium to large muscle groups—a **massage lotion with moderate to high glide** is ideal. The **[Premax Classic Massage Lotion](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-classic-massage-lotion-1000ml/)** is our top recommendation. It comes in a 1L pump bottle, is unscented, and suitable for use across all areas of the body. It’s an excellent all-purpose **massage product for therapists** and clinics that require consistent performance across varied treatments. [[ ### **MASSAGING INJURED AND TENDER AREAS** When working with injuries or sensitive areas, choose a gentle, soothing formula. The [**Premax Arnica Massage Cream**](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-arnica-cream-400g/) is specifically formulated for this purpose. It contains arnica, olive oil, and ginger—ingredients traditionally used to help soothe bruising and tender areas.** Its consistency is similar to the [Essential Massage Cream](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-essential-massage-cream/), making it easy to apply while remaining kind to the skin. [[ **Some clinical studies suggest [arnica-based creams may help reduce bruising](https://www.healthline.com/health/arnica-for-bruises?utm_source=chatgpt.com) when applied topically, though evidence varies by formulation and concentration.** ### **HIGH TRACTION TECHNIQUES AND MYOFASCIAL RELEASE** For techniques that require more grip such as myofascial release, skin traction, or forearm/elbow work—the [**Premax Original Massage Cream**](https://premax.co/collections/massage-creams-and-lotions/products/original-massage-cream) is the best choice. It features a higher percentage of waxes and clay, giving therapists the control they need during high-traction treatments. This massage cream is preferred for precision work where skin movement and grip are critical. [[ ### **POST-EVENT OR RECOVERY MASSAGE** After intense activity, use massage to actively reduce muscle soreness (DOMS) and encourage relaxation. The **[Premax Recovery Cream](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-recovery-cream-sour-cherry-200ml/)** combines restorative and skin-soothing ingredients that directly support recovery and relieve tension. For longer sessions or when you need higher glide, combine it with the **[Premax Classic Massage Lotion](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-classic-massage-lotion-1000ml/)** or the [**Arnica Massage Cream**](https://pillarsports.com/product/premax-arnica-cream-400g/) to extend coverage and maintain hydration.
