Nearly 40% of consumers dislike the way topical solutions smell and feel, according to the press release, which led Kenvue to develop Tylenol Precise, a rapid-absorbing cream designed with a rollerball for hands-free application. The topical treatment is available in a fresh scent or fragrance-free.

Tylenol Precise is made with maximum-strength lidocaine 4% and does not require a prescription to obtain, according to the press release. A variation of the product — Tylenol Precise Cooling Pain Relieving Cream — pairs lidocaine with menthol to offer a cooling ability to help relieve burning sensations that may accompany pain.
