Five things to know before you try the first topical ASMR cream.
01
It is a chemical reaction, not a lotion.
ASMR MD is two formulas in one dual-chamber pump. Chamber A is an acid. Chamber B is a base, tinted blue. On their own they do nothing. Mixed in equal parts they react, releasing carbon dioxide — and that is the crackle you hear.
02
You hear it before you feel it.
The reaction begins five to ten seconds after the two creams meet. At the directed dose it runs for roughly forty seconds: a fine crackling, a wave of peppermint cool, and for many people a tingle across the skin. Use a little more and it lasts longer.
03
It goes behind the ear. Only there.
Pump once from each chamber, mix together on fingertips, massage into skin behind the ear. Not inside the ear, not on the face. Avoid contact with eyes, and wash your hands afterward.
04
Not everyone feels the tingle.
Almost everyone hears the crackle and feels the cool. The tingling ASMR response is neurological, and some people simply do not get it — with this cream or with ASMR of any kind. We would rather say so here than have you find out after buying.
05
A dermatologist built it as a cosmetic.
Developed by a board-certified dermatologist and made in the United States of America. It is a cosmetic, not a treatment: for external use only, no limit on how often you use it, and the full ingredient list is on the label and below.
What does ASMR MD actually do?
It is a two-part topical cream. One side is an acid, the other a base. Mix them together, apply the blend to the skin behind your ear, and they react, releasing carbon dioxide. That produces a fine crackling sound, a cooling sensation from peppermint, and for some people a tingling feeling on the skin. The reaction begins within five to ten seconds.
Where exactly do I apply it?
On the skin behind the ear, and only there. Do not put it inside the ear or ear canal, and do not apply it to the face. Avoid contact with eyes.
Will I feel the ASMR tingle?
Most people notice the crackling and the cooling right away. The tingling ASMR response is neurological, though, and not everyone experiences it. Some people feel nothing at all. That is true of ASMR in general, not just of this product, and we would rather tell you plainly than have you find out after buying.
How long does the sensation last?
A single pump from each chamber, the directed amount, reacts for roughly forty seconds. Applying more extends it. Either way, the sensation begins within five to ten seconds of the two formulas meeting.
Is it safe? Can I use it every day?
ASMR MD is a cosmetic developed by a board-certified dermatologist, and there is no limit on how often you can use it. As with any topical product: for external use only, avoid contact with eyes, discontinue use if irritation occurs, and keep out of reach of children.
How big is the bottle?
Net weight 0.88 oz / 25 g in a dual-chamber pump about three inches tall and an inch across, with a clear cap. It fits in a pocket.
