Clinical Resolution Numb Master 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream Maximum Strength for Pain Relief, Fast Acting Topical Anesthetic Burn Itch Cream with Vitamin E and Aloe, OTC Hemorrhoid Treatment 4.20 Oz

I use this for any blood draw as I have a severe needle phobia. I start about 1 hour before and use 4 -5 layers inside my elbow. Helps a lot.

I feel like this worked really well for me. Especially for being able to buy without a prescription.I’m lasering off a huge tattoo on my arm and it hurts like a B. After going into the first session with nothing and feeling like I was going to pass out from the brutal pain I knew I had to do something to relieve myself.After watching some YouTube videos giving out tips I seen numbing cream mentioned. I thought to give it a try because I pre-paid for 3 treatments so I still had to get through my other 2.It really did help. I won’t say my laser session was completely painless but it was tolerable. Yes it hurt but not as excruciatingly painful as it was with nothing.I put on a THICK layer covering the entire area and even about an inch outside of the tattoo. Covered it with seran wrap for 20 ish mins. Then I wiped it all off and applied a second THICK layer the same as the first time and covered again with seran wrap. I made sure I had 20-25 mins before my appointment. I drove to my appointment with my arm still layered in the cream and the seran wrap. Wiped it all off before walking in to get lasered. Game changer! Will make sure I have on hand before any more sessions because it’s truly worth it and takes the edge off.

Good day to all Amazonians.I have purchased and used the 'Numb Master' product for years. And yes. I have tried other manufactures to see if their product may be of the same quality, but a wee bit less expensive. Or an overall better quality item. If you are the personality type that needs to research things for your self. Then by all means do so. But I can assure that you will find yourself revisiting this page. This product works. Period.One thing that I have read about, here in the 'reviews' section, is that of the purchased product not being properly processed. The complaint was of finding small crystal like particles in the cream product. In the extreme, the member asserts that manufacturer has not refined the product suitable for general use.I can attest to the actuality of this first hand. I was sent one of the containers, that did have a few crystals in the cream, in one of my many purchases.Now for the disclaimer. I am 'not', by any stretch of the imagination, a 'Chemical engineer'. But my girlfriends sister is. 'M.I.T. University', Boston. So I have the fullest confidence in her explanation as to this condition.Some 'older' stock products may still be in circulation. The 'older' stock, and there's nothing wrong with the quality, but under the right conditions, may have the ability for crystallization. In very small amounts.If one gets the gritty feel of a crystal in a container. Simply roll it between the fingers to break it down and reintegrate it back into the cream state. There is nothing wrong with the product. It is just a bit of an inconvenience.I hope that this may help those that were concerned.Good luck.

I give 5 stars to the lidocaine and the 4 oz. jar. I give 2 stars to the inactive ingredients. What a mess! I end up with what I call "snow" - little sticky flakes that get everywhere. I have another gel that has 5 simple ingredients: carbomer 980, phenoxyethanol, purified water, SD alcohol 3C, sodium hydroxide. It seems to me that a shorter list of ingredients would have to be cheaper and it wouldn't lmake such a mess. Too bad the people that make the other gel don't make a lidocaine version.I completely agree with the other reviewer that said that lidocaine works best with repeated applications. There are some kinds of pain it works on better than others. It's not like getting a shot at the dentist. I have 2 extremely painful autoimmune neurologicalj problems and lidocaine is essential in beating them back. I have to say, if you're going to geet a tattoo or a piercing and you're that worried it's going to hurt then don't have it done.

So, I bought this for a tattoo session. I had previously sat for 9.5 hours several years ago and had gone into shock from the pain (like literal body shock). With this session, I decided being a purist was overrated. I put it on two hours before the needles hit skin; and, I was fine. Totally fine. About an hour and a half later, the first uncomfortable sticks occurred. By then, my skin had opened up and my artist sprayed some more numbing agent. Finished up the remaining 2 1/2 hours with no pain. Bottom line: it was the difference between natural birth and epidurals (have done both). To purists out there: I still got a tattoo at the end of the day and I didn’t go into shock. Win.

Used this for getting a large tattoo because I couldn't get ahold of Dr. Numb. It works great to numb the skin but wears off really fast. Left it on for an hour with saran wrap before starting. About 15-20 in to the process I could feel it as much as usual. Not sure if I would buy again because it did the help as much as I had hoped it would. I'll still use the rest of it for the second session though.
