Ive used it many times by now, and Ive never gotten burn or irritation. I don't reallt get any feelings from it at all. It's definitely not numbing on it's own, but Im sure it can carry numbing agents through the skin. It's my personal opinion that some people (actually lots of people) are sensitive to it. There are many people who get redness and a feeling similar to a mild sunburn even at low concentrations. A lot if them go on using it anyway and are apparently none the worse for wear. Most of them say that the mild burning sensation and itritation is normal and happen to everyone who uses it, but I know from my own experience that that's not true. At least not at 70% concentration. For me it feels exactly like normal gel. It honestly feels no different from aloe gel to me. I must not be sensitive to it. Spot testing is definitely a good idea. You might even want to start out by using it several times in gradually increasing amounts to get used to it, but for me that was not necessary.
