Dr. Numb 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream, Fast-Acting Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic Pain Relief Burn Itch Numb Cream with Vitamin E for Hemorrhoid Treatment, Local and Anorectal Uses - 30g

Used it on my most recent tattoo and it worked great! I spread it on thick and covered my arm in cling wrap for an hour before my appointment. It didn't numb me completely, but it took away at least 70% of the pain, and it seemed to last for about 3 hours. Definitely worth it for a 4 hour tattoo!

Im covered head to toe literally, and am in the process of blacking out both arms, up my shoulders and back of my neck/head. This stuff is amazing. Doesn’t cause swelling or skin discoloration, and artists Ive worked with in shops for 7 years say this brand is the only Numbing they’ll allow because of that.

This stuff works great if you are getting a tattoo! I have bought this twice and it’s worked every time I have applied it. It really takes the edge off for the first hour or two. It got really expensive so I tried another lidocaine brand that had a lot of reviews and was cheaper, big mistake! The stuff didn’t work AT ALL i felt everything. I’m sticking with Dr Numb because it actually works!

I bought this to use for a tattoo in a particularly painful spot, but ended up not needing it for that. Instead, I used it for a splinter I'd gotten on the bottom of my foot that was too painful to go near. 4 stars, but only because I didn't use it as the instructions said, so I can verify full validly of the product. When I used it on the bottom of my foot, I applied a generous amount of the cream and let it sit for 10 minutes. The splinter hurt so bad to touch or go near that I was in tears (I have a sleeve of tattoos and have never cried from that pain! This was excruciating). I knew it had to come out, and remembered I had this, so I put it on and waited. It didn't completely numb the area, but it did numb it enough that getting out the splinter was tolerable. I got it out quickly and didn't notice any tingling or other odd sensations on my foot after. Next time I get a tattoo in a bad spot, I'm going to try this as intended and I'll update this review as it changes. I've only ever had one tattoo that was particularly bad, but man, I don't want to go through that again if I don't have to - this would be great if it works as it says!

LONGEVITY: if applied correctly you will have a good 3-4 session. TIPS: 1.take hot shower 2.apply cream a little at a time rubbing into skin and repeat 3.once all cream is applied wrap area in saran wrap tight 4.let cream sit for at least an hour and a half to two hours. WARNING: this will not fully take the pain away, but it will make getting tattoo allot more barrable. Also keep in mind some people may have an allergic reaction to lidocaine so test a small spot on your body if it's your first time to see if there is any reaction. CUSTOMER: used on ribs for a four-hour session and felt great after, very minor pain during the session.

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!

Worked

Although on the expensive side it works better than other brands I’ve tried. I’d rather pay more than feel pain tbh😂

I wouldn’t recommend Recommend this product at all. It barely works. It’s not useful at all Doctor num more like Doctor nothing

20-30% pain relief for a tattoo job. Lower leg area including the back

Had my tattoo and applied it as per instruction and as per reviews but just reduced like 10-20% and after like 1 hour, no effect anymore.
