Dr. Numb 5% Lidocaine Cream – Topical Anorectal Cream for Hemorrhoid and Local Discomfort Relief – 30g

Y'all. This is WOWWWWWW!!!! IM Working on a full back and butt piece, the first few sessions were so bad I was actually crying and tapping out after a few hours. Today, I had an appointment at noon for shading the butt area and lower back. I put this on at 10:30, used almost the whole tube, wrapped it, took it off at 12 in the shop. My skin was so red I think I was lowkey allergic to it. But IT WORKED!! I ALMOST cried from how happy I was. I was dreading every appointment. It lasted 7 hours!!!! Crazy stuff💜💜

I had my knee tattooed and this helped a ton. You have to apply it THICK and then wrap the area in plastic wrap for 60 -90 minutes. You will be able to feel where you didn’t apply a thick enough layer

Have to give this a 5 star if u r gonna do large tattoo buy 2 tubes. Had awful tattoo on the middle of back & did not get done over for the longest time because of the pain experienced why getting the first tattoo however friend suggested this too me and it worked was able to get my outline done and for sure buying more for the rest of the tattoo to be finished. Was able to relax and stay more still for my artist too & it works but do need extra numbing cream after about a hour.

really works

I’ve tried a few numbing creams, and this is the absolute best I’ve noticed that putting it on hrs before your tattoo like three and wrapping it you won’t feel nothing ..

So I purchased this product because of the large amount of reviews that gave it 5 stars. I am perplexed as to how this product was rated more than 1 star by anyone. It DOES NOT WORK WELL. I purchased the product to assist in making getting my first tattoo close to pain free. For my first tat, it’s a large one. Despite putting the product on and using the saran wrap and waiting 50 minutes, then also reapplying it a second time for 40 minutes to ensure that it would take. When the artist began the tattoo, I felt the pressure of the needle and the vibrations but not much pain. But I thought that must be normal so I didn’t think anything of it. However, after about 20 minutes, the product wore off and I began to feel the needle and the puncturing of my skin. The pain level was about a 6 out of 10 for most of the tattoo. It was about 7 for the part of the tattoo that extends to the middle of my back. So, the pain was mostly moderate. However, this product is supposed to numb you for 4 hours according to the box. Complete lie. It somewhat numbs (not fully) you for about 20-25 minutes and then you are going to feel the needle. Overall, the product’s performance was substandard. A better numbing cream is tattoo Numbing cream co and it’s cheaper in price. Dr. Numb failed to provide the protection against pain that it was supposed to.

The packaging is great, and it seems like this is the only one in the market with a 4.5-star rating, so I decided to give it a try even though it's much pricier. Honestly, the results are just okay. I don't really notice much difference compared to other brands with lidocaine as the main ingredient. I think the ratio of lidocaine is probably the same across the board, so I’d give it 4 stars. But considering the higher price, I’d rate it 3 stars instead. Thanks!

I will never ever doubt this cream. I have been using it for 10+ years. It is instantly working and long lasting. It’s not messy and it’s gotten me through, injections, tattoos, and some body aches. It’s such a versatile product and a little goes a long way
