Add The New York Post on Google Shoppers have discovered a new skincare hack — and it might offer wellness benefits, too.

On Amazon, over 30,000 users have purchased the Magnum Solace Nighttime Magnesium Lotion in the past month alone. And, the best-selling formula is currently on sale for just $10 ahead of October Prime Day, which kicks off on Oct. 6 and 7 (though many mode deals are already live).

The lightweight cream has a refreshing lavender scent and is packed with magnesium, an essential mineral that is known to have a calming effect on the body. The brand suggests gently rubbing it into the skin before bed to help moisturize, relax, and unwind — but several users say they have noticed another less-expected benefit.

“This is absolutely the best product I have ever used for pain. I rub it on my knees or my wrists and it takes the pain away within two minutes,” one reviewer raved, adding that they’ve purchased multiple jars to give to friends.

If you take a closer look at the ingrdients, it makes sense why this lotion is also helping peole with pain.

Beyond magnesium, the formula combines a nourishing blend of shea butter, grapeseed oil and vitamin E to help leave skin feeling soft and smooth — benefits that users have noticed, too.

But the Magnesium Solace formula also contains arnica, which may help explain its appeal for tired, achy muscles. Arnica is a perennial in the sunflower family commonly used in gels and creams to help soothe muscle pain, joint pain and soreness, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

The formula is offered in single packs and three packs. It’s dermatologist-tested, GMP-certified facility and also lab-verified for purity. Of course, as with any health or wellness product, it’s important to consult your physician prior to use.
