How long does the warming effect last? — TURPENTINE OINTMENT 25G (JAR) Yaroslavl FF

There is no exact time that the warming effect lasts, because it varies from person to person and depends on the amount applied, the area of skin, and individual skin sensitivity. What is known is that the petrolatum base slows evaporation and keeps the active ingredients in contact with the skin longer. So the sensation tends to develop gradually and can feel more persistent than a light gel or lotion.

Typically, the warmth may last from a few minutes to an hour or more, but this is not a fixed rule. If you apply a very small amount, the effect will be shorter; a larger amount will last longer, but also increases the risk of intense burning. It's better to start with the smallest amount and see how your skin reacts.

If the burning becomes uncomfortable, you can remove the ointment with a cloth and wash the area with mild soap and water. Do not use this product more often than needed — it's not a daily moisturizer, but a targeted warming rub for occasional use after physical strain or in cold weather.
