Hi Paul, I've used this brand. It's good, but pricey for chronic use. I get DMSO from my local Feed'n'Seed,(for about 1/4 price) then combine with aloe vera gel I get in a tube at our Natural Food Store. Glycerine is supposed to be drying, too, but in the original Brooks mix, it was used to soften the skin and I never noticed it having a drying effect. I made large bottles of the mix and then decanted them to my small roll-ons. (nice to have them scattered about for whenever, wherever I need them) Now, I'm using the 50/50 DMSO and Aloe gel, and that seems to work very well. More DMSO than that, and the less exposed, more tender skin, like the back of knee, seems to get itchy and irritated. But we're all different.
