Pain tolerance can vary from person to person. Hopefully, you followed the correct usage instructions by watching the BLT video on our website. It would be useful to use one whole packet of each BLT1, BLT2 and BLT3 and use all of it rather than using just a quarter or half a packet; this will give the best effect. After mixing thoroughly, most users then take small amounts and MASSAGE the preparation on the area to be treated, and then after massaging they use a larger amount and PASTE the preparation on, like a face mask, and then leave it on for a minimum of 20 minutes but ideally 30 minutes. Also remember, pain is very subjective, meaning pain to one person is no pain to another.
