Curist5% Lidocaine Cream Maximum Strength Topical Pain Relief - 6 oz (170 g) XL Tube - Numb Quickly & Effectively Numbing Formulation - (1 Pack - 6 oz Tube)

I was skeptical about this product because it clearly stated that it was made for hemorrhoids but I decided to take a chance and use it before my wax appointment. It came sealed and to open the product you’ll need to squeeze the top and turn it like a child safe bottle.Since the reviews on this product were 50/50 on how people used it and whether it works or not, I decided to put on my upper lip and chin area 3x within a 3 hour window. I put the last layer about 30-45 minutes before leaving for my appointment. Goes on white but dries clear and it also leaves you with oily skin. I’m not if the oily skin is due to the fact that I put 3 layers on but It worked great, for me it reduced my wax pain significantly. Now I think I can tolerate the waxing instead of doing it at home.The four stars because it’s made for hemorrhoids. I’ll buy again once I run out or just stock up 😁!!!- Wife on the account

I had a tattoo done on the back of my hand and I was able to sit for an hour and a half session without too much pain. A few weeks later I had to go back and get the sides redone and I thought I could handle the 15 or 20 minute session without it and it was a night and day difference in pain… I didn’t realize how well the cream worked to make the tattoo more bearable. Of course, we were going over knuckles so I could definitely feel everything, the first time, but it was manageable in a very sensitive place. The second time without it was excruciating on the same knuckles and I really wished I had it on then!

My first tattoo session, I put the cream on an hour before without the Saran's plastic wrap and felt the needle. This time, I put the cream on 2 hours before and wrapped my chest with the plastic wrap. I applied the cream at 11:30 am; my tattoo session started at 1:30 pm; by 3:30 pm I started feeling the needle a little bit. By time the tattoo artist was finished.

So I used numbing cream for the first time for an inner arm tattoo yesterday. My body was feeling particularly sensitive and I figured why not give it a try. For reference, I have 24 tattoos, including on my ribs, calves, chest, back, other inner arm, and hips. So a lot of the more sensitive areas have already been covered. But I figured why not try it since my body was already feeling a little weird, and this was a larger piece. See below for timeline:4:15pm: applied first layer and wrapped in plastic wrap5:15pm: applied second layer and re-wrapped5:45pm: applied third layer and re-wrapped6pm: wiped all off, got to shop and chatted with artist. By this point my arm was extremely numb, couldn’t really feel much of anything6:35pm: started tattoo, felt absolutely nothing for the first 20 minutes6:55pm: started to feel needle but to lesser degree, particularly for how sensitive an area it is7:05pm: finished tattoo. Still felt last bits but again, not nearly as intense as it would’ve been normally8:00pm: started to feel soreness and post-tattoo tingling but not too badAll in all, it took a lot of the heavy sting away, but I didn’t experience the effect as long as others have reported. But still good all in all for the price

This stuff works! I have never used any kind of numbing cream for my tattoos but my last one hurt so bad for some simple lines that I decided my skin might need some support going forward. I put this cream on at 1045am and the needle was in my skin at noon and my session was 1.5 hours. It helped the whole time. Yes you still feel the needle and some areas will still be more sensitive. If you get tattoos often and have that tolerance level then you’ll love this. I felt little to nothing while getting my tattoo.

My mother has pressure sores that are very painful. I've been mixing this with petroleum jelly to keep the pain down and to protect her skin. For the year I've been using this on her, the skin has healed but she does sit on that spot a lot so it does come back just never as bad.

No me funcionó para dormir el dedo, y sacar la uña encarnada lo apliqué muchas veces y esperé más de una hora y solo poco anestesio.

Easy to use and not smelly. Takes a little longer to work but lasts approximately 4-6 hours.
