# RISE Advanced Strength Cream Review: The Power Of CBD, THC, and THCA Working Together! *By James Hills, menwhoblog.com — Updated December 2024* Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) Last Updated: 25 December 2024 Top BlogHits: 5393Reading time: 05:16 As an active man in my 40s, maintaining my health and staying on top of recovery is crucial. Recently, after suffering a severe ankle sprain, I sought a topical treatment that could provide more effective relief than the standard THC/CBD rubs I had been using. That's when I discovered RISE Advanced Cream, a product that combines THC, THCA, and CBD in a unique formulation. NOTE: Pictured here is the 1oz version of the cream but they also have a 3oz version that I encourage you to try. This tends to be a slightly better deal and frankly 1oz isn't a whole lot of cream. However, for a product like this, the 1oz version of RISE Advanced Strength Cream is a great "entry point" if you just want to try something and aren't sure if you'll like it. ## Product Overview RISE Advanced Cream is a plant-based topical designed to deliver targeted relief for localized discomfort. It boasts a 2:1:1 ratio of cannabinoids, with 1500mg of THC, 750mg of CBD, and 750mg of THCA per 3oz tube. The cream is paraben and sulfate-free, quick-drying, unscented, and pH balanced, ensuring a pleasant application without sticky or smelly residue. ## Benefits of the THC, THCA, and CBD Blend Let me break this down in a way that'll make sense if you're not deep into cannabis science. Think of your body's pain and inflammation system like a complex security system in a building. Most people think CBD alone is enough - it's like having just one security guard. But we've learned that having multiple guards (THC, THCA, and CBD working together in this case) specializing in different areas creates much better coverage. ### THC: The Direct Pain Fighter Here's what makes THC special in this cream - it's like having a security guard who knows exactly which door the trouble is coming from. When you rub it on your ankle, it talks directly to your pain receptors right there under your skin. The cream is designed so the THC only works where you put it - that's why you get pain relief without feeling any of the "high" you might worry about. In my case, it started working in about 15 minutes, which is way faster than just waiting for a CBD cream to kick in. It's also more rapid than it takes for ibuprofen to take effect - though I also used that to help support the goal of reducing inflammation. ### THCA: The Swelling Specialist Now, THCA is really interesting - it's basically THC before it gets heated up, and it works completely differently. Think of it as your inflammation expert. Most people don't know this, but THCA works similarly to ibuprofen in fighting swelling, but because it's in a cream form, you're not getting all those stomach issues you might get from taking pills. When my ankle was visibly swollen and painful to the touch, this THCA helped bring the swelling down. ### CBD: The Recovery Supporter CBD is like your general maintenance guy - it does a bit of everything. But here's the thing - when you pair it with THC and THCA, it works way better than on its own. Sure, it's helping with inflammation, but it's also supporting your skin health and working with other compounds to speed up healing. ### Why The Combination Matters Here's the real kicker - when you use all three together, you get what we call the "entourage effect." Think of it like a band - CBD alone is like having just a drummer. Sure, they can keep a beat, but add in a bassist (THC) and a guitarist (THCA), and now you've got real music. Each compound makes the others work better. In my case, using this three-compound cream got me back on my feet in about three weeks. When I used CBD-only creams for similar injuries in the past, recovery took longer and the relief wasn't nearly as noticeable. The RISE cream worked faster (usually within 15-20 minutes), lasted longer, and tackled both the pain and swelling more effectively than any single-cannabinoid product I've tried. ## Personal Experience Recovering From An Ankle Sprain That's not to say that there isn't a place for less advanced products. There absolutely is. My biggest concern here is the price ... but trust me, it's worth it! However, you need to use the solution for the right need. In cases where my muscles are sore after shoveling snow or a long walk ... a less expensive cream is a great option. However, in situations where I need to get back to work as quickly as possible ... this is a great option. Applying RISE Advanced Cream to my injured ankle provided noticeable relief from pain and inflammation. The cream absorbed quickly, and I appreciated the lack of any lingering scent or residue. Within a few days of consistent use, I experienced a significant reduction in swelling and discomfort, which facilitated a quicker return to my regular activities. Look, I've been studying cannabis products for years, and I can tell you that while CBD alone is good, it's like trying to win a fight with one hand tied behind your back. When you combine THC, THCA, and CBD in the right way, like RISE has done, you're using everything nature gave us in the cannabis plant to help your body heal. It's not about getting high - it's about using the right tools for the job, and sometimes you need more than just one tool to fix a problem properly. ## Pricing Consideration I purchased this myself at approximately $25 for a 1oz tube and $50 for the 3oz from [PUFF](https://shoppuff.com/) - a dispensary chain in Michigan (your local prices may differ). RISE Advanced Cream is a premium product but the cost is higher than a new cannabis cream user might expect. However, considering its potent formulation and its effective relief, I found it to be a worthwhile investment in my health and recovery process. ## Final Review: RISE Advanced Cream Works Great RISE Advanced Cream offers a compelling option for men seeking an advanced topical solution for pain and inflammation, especially those who have found traditional CBD rubs insufficient. Its unique blend of THC, THCA, and CBD delivers enhanced relief, making it a valuable addition to any recovery regimen.
