Sceptical husband review. My wife bought this and I made a comment about expensive moisturiser, which I have since been reminded of many times. Our 4 year old is asleep in ten to fifteen minutes now instead of the 45 minute negotiation we were having. I dont have an explanation for it and I've stopped asking for one. It works, it smells nice, she asks for it, we're keeping it.
My 6 year old had turned bedtime into a two hour negotiation, every single night, since he was four. Everyone told me he would grow out of it and gave me nothing else to try. I refused to start him on melatonin so I tried this instead. Three weeks in and he is asleep before I finish the second book.
I did not think a cream on her feet would do anything about a kid who physically could not lie still. I thought it was just her personality and that we had to wait it out. Two weeks in she is going down in twenty minutes, and on the nights she does fight it, it is minutes instead of an hour.
White noise, a better white noise machine, blackout blinds, a star projector, lavender spray, an earlier bedtime, a later bedtime. You name it, we tried it, and he was still bouncing off the walls at nine. Started rubbing this in after books. He still gets the odd night, but it is twenty minutes instead of two hours.
Writing this at 8pm from the couch, which is the whole point of the review. For a year my evening did not start until half nine, me lying on the floor next to the bed waiting for him to go off. He has gone down on his own for nine nights. I still brace myself at seven out of habit and then remember I do not have to.
The first two nights I thought it had done nothing, he was up and down out of bed same as always. Somewhere around night four he went off during the story, and he has most nights since. His kindy teacher asked what we had changed before I had said anything to anyone. I don't fully know why it works and I don't really care anymore.
The thing nobody tells you about a kid who will not sleep is what it does to you. Standing in a dark doorway at nine o'clock with nothing left, night after night. I was crying in the car at pick up. I was snapping at everyone. We are three weeks in, he goes down in twenty minutes, and I have my patience back. That is what I am reviewing really, not the cream.

Before you ask
A coin-sized amount on legs, feet or chest. It goes on skin: nothing is swallowed, nothing is dosed, and nothing in the jar looks or tastes like candy. The whole label is five ingredients you can pronounce.
Melatonin borrows sleep from a hormone system that's still developing, and the gummy has to end one day. A wind-down teaches a kid's body to bring itself down, and it gets stronger with repetition, not weaker.
Yes, it does absorb. Warmth, pressure and a repeated scent cue are the settle signals paediatric sleep research keeps landing on. Magnesium is the 200-year-old tradition the ritual carries, from the epsom bath to grandma's rub.
60 nights, money back, nothing to post back. If bedtimes aren't better, you keep the tub and the refund.
Only the cream. The blanket is yours from the first box; nothing else is ever rebilled. Skip, pause or cancel in two taps.
Two and up. It is formulated for a child’s skin rather than scaled down from an adult spray, which is why it doesn’t sting the way adult magnesium oil does. Parents use it on toddlers who fight bedtime and on twelve-year-olds with aching legs after sport.
Some parents notice the first night, because the warmth and the pressure are working straight away. The routine is the part that compounds. The bedtime-routine research is dose-dependent, so three nights a week beats one and every night beats three. Give it two weeks before you judge it. You have 60 to change your mind.
Five ingredients, and no nut oils. We turned down a cheaper formula that used sweet almond oil for exactly this reason. Magnesium chloride, lavender, chamomile, vitamin E. Patch-test the inside of an arm on the first night if you want to be certain.
Yes, and it’s yours to keep. It ships in your first box on any subscription, it is never rebilled, and if you cancel you keep it.
A flat $5, and free on any order over $54 - which a 2-jar subscription clears on its own, and a single jar clears the moment you add anything to it. Most orders land in 5 to 14 days.
