If using a brand/type that absorbs well, it is rubbed in the skin, so

nothing left on skin surface to rub off on clothing.

Cream works well for me. If I need it quickly, I just apply to wrists or

ankles, and I can feel it in minutes, certainly not more than 1/2 hour,

and usually less than that.

It must just be due to individual differences, because the cream works

very well for me. I can't tell much difference between a pill dose and a

cream dose. Except too many pill doses and I get stomach irritation,

even eating with every dose.

I should state again though, that I started with cream and ramped up on

it. It is the pills that are uncommon for me to use.

Once a person knows how they should feel on either cream or pill HC, it

seems logical to dose to that effect, and not get too hung up on a dose

number. Absorption issues either way can make a significant difference.
