Ebanel Set of 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream and 5% Lidocaine Spray Pain Relief Numbing Spray for Skin, Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic to Numb Pain Burn Itch for Local and Anorectal Uses

I was APPALLED at how very tiny this jar is but it had great reviews so I thought I may as well give it a chance. My heart sunk as I remembered the review that instructed to spread it on "like frosting on a cake." I also thought of all the reviews that suggested two coats. Since I was planning on using it to give myself a Brazilian (sugaring, not waxing), I wasn't taking any chances. I imagined that I would use up most of the tiny bottle, considering that I had already made the attempt twice (without numbing cream) and failed miserably. It even occurred to me that I wouldn't be saving all that much (over salon prices) if I couldn't get it all done on the first try and would need to do the whole thing all over again! It works! It works like a miracle! I spread it on, not thick at all but thick enough to make sure it got to the skin (I did trim first but well, you know). I remembered the reviews that said not to rub it in too much, just leave it on the surface, so I did. I couldn't figure out how to cover it with plastic though so I got a large plastic bag (similar to a garbage bag) and cut out leg holes. I wore that for 20 minutes and went to put on another coat. I was already numb! I couldn't feel a thing but even so, I wanted the 2nd coat, hoping it would reach a deeper level and to make sure I was as numb as possible. Again, I put my plastic bag back on and waited until I washed that off about 15 minutes later and was TOTALLY numb! I'm happy to report that I completed the ENTIRE job and barely used about 1/8 of the bottle! I do have a few strays and a couple of small patches left but that's no fault of the numbing cream, sugaring is hard! I could have easily gotten a new glob of sugar and kept going but I figured that was enough for one day (it's not good to keep going over and over the same area) and I'm not afraid anymore! I wouldn't need to numb the whole area to do the rest anyway, just a few patches; in fact, I likely wouldn't need it at all for the small amount left. I was numb for a good 40 minutes after, when the cooling cream I bought for the occasion started to kick in. Now I'm not saying it was pain-free, it was still painful, but a MILLION times better than my first two attempts! I was originally looking for numbing cream for derma-rolling and I wanted to try it on my face first but once I got my sugaring recipe right, I just couldn't wait to get it done! Sorry to write a book here but I just couldn't be happier! It costs about $80 to have a Brazilian sugaring at the salon and I did my own for less than $5! Sure, I could use a few touch-ups, but I'll be doing that in my own time, by myself, for pennies! I spent about $2.50 for the amount of numbing cream I used, a tiny amount of Finipil Lait 50 (antiseptic cream that cools, soothes, moisturizes, protects against infection, reduces ingrown hairs, and according to some reviewers, slows hair regrowth), a small amount of my sugaring mixture (2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup fake lemon juice, 1/4 cup water- simmered until it turns the color of dark ale), one rubber glove from a pack of 10 pairs from the Dollar Tree, and a large Goodwill bag! I WILL be buying this again! I'll update when I get around to derma-rolling for those of you buying this for that purpose but if your intent is having a Brazilian, do it! UPDATE: I never got around to doing those last few little patches (it wasn't a vanity thing, it was a comfort thing and they didn't bother me) but I've redone the whole thing again today. I wondered if two coats were really necessary, or if the plastic was really necessary, but I didn't want to sit around naked to test it so this time I used a Walmart bag to cover my crotch and put on some big granny-panties to hold it in place under my pajama pants. In some places I was nearly numb after 20 minutes, but in others, not so much. I opted for the 2nd coat and repeated the process. I waited almost 20 mins and was pleasantly numb. Sure, it still hurt like hell, but I was able to get through an ENTIRE self-Brazilian sugaring wax! Since the hairs were shorter and hadn't completely grown in yet (it wasn't as thick), I'm almost bare now! I didn't want to keep going over parts that don't matter much (the upper line that always bleeds) so I still have a few strays there but again, that's because of my sugaring method, not this numbing cream. I will DEFINITELY keep buying this! Now that I've figured out a cheap way to do away with pubic hair, I will NEVER go back to the irritation of dealing with it. See my review for Finipil Lait 50 if you're interested in using that in combination with this.

I got laser hair removal (lower arms and legs) 10 years ago and it was absolutely excruciating. I barely made it through the 9 sessions. I got the prescription numbing cream they offered me once but it didn’t seem to do anything. Fast forward to now and I finally decided to get my full legs, arms and under arms done but I couldn’t stomach the thought of the pain like before. I ordered this hoping but not counting on it doing anything. WOW, was I surprised! I’ve now used it for two sessions, the first time for legs and the second time for arms and underarms. It ABSOLUTELY changed the game both times. The bottle is small but it was enough for round one of legs and round one of arms and underarms with enough left over to probably do round two of arms and underarms. The first time I used it I applied a first coat (rubbed it in) fresh out of the shower about an hour and a half before my appointment and then a second thicker coat and plastic wrapped my legs. I wiped it off right before I left for the appointment and it definitely took the edge off. I still felt it, but it took the pain from a 6 or 7 to a 3 or 4. The second time (arms and underarms) I put the cream on 2.5 hours before the appointment (I was a little worried it was too soon) but it actually worked even better I think. I did a layer and rubbed it in like I was putting on lotion and then added a thicker coat, but I didn’t rub it all the way in and I didn’t plastic wrap it. Shortly before I left for my appointment I added a little more and then right before treatment I wiped it off. I felt very little pain this time and my arms still feel somewhat numb 4 hours later. I’m SO pleased I found this cream and I’ll buy as many bottles as I need to get through treatment.

This is absolutely amazing!! I was nervous after reading reviews I've tried other tattoo numbing creams and non have worked. I knew id need some with them going by my wrist and elbow. I think I want a million more tattoos if I get more of this. You can feel the sensation of the tattoo but 0 pain just little uncomfortable in spots. I put it on and wrapped my arm 45mins before really easy application used have container for my lower forearm. So it's lasted 12:15-4:30pm so far and it's still very numb! It looks like I've had the tattoo for a good bit no red or swelling at all and I normally swell bad and bleed and I didn't with this! 1000% recommended.

This set is a powerful option for temporary pain relief, especially if you need something fast-acting. Both the cream and spray contain 5% lidocaine (maximum OTC strength), which works by numbing the area and blocking nerve signals to reduce pain, itching, or irritation. It’s commonly used for things like minor skin irritation, burns, insect bites, or other localized discomfort, and many people also use it before certain cosmetic or personal care procedures. The combination of cream + spray is convenient, since you can use the cream for targeted areas and the spray for quicker, wider coverage. It tends to work fairly quickly (within a few minutes) and provides noticeable temporary relief, which is the biggest benefit. On the downside, this is a strong product, so it’s important to use it as directed—overuse or sensitive skin can lead to irritation or numbness that feels too intense. Also, results are temporary, so it may need reapplication depending on the situation. Some users may also find the spray slightly tingly or strong on first use. Overall: A very effective numbing solution for short-term relief—great to have on hand, just use carefully and for appropriate situations.

This numbs well you won't feel the needle it'll just be like a pinch and it's not too thick it's very effective and it's not greasy

Most recommended numbing cream used by tattoo artists for large pieces with intricate work and vivid colors. This product does not leave a greasy residue or change the consistency of the ink on the area that is being tattooed. The spray won't work until you've broken the skin so it's great to get them both the cream and the spray to start one section doing several hours of work and continue to spray about every half hour once it starts wearing off. Works amazingly! Won't feel ANYTHING! EASILY SIT FOR HOURS, FEEL ASLEEP ON A PIECE FROM NIKE TO KNEE OUTLINE+ RIB SECTION SHADING with 2%BMI!!!!

About 20–30 minutes after applying it, the skin felt numb enough that the initial pain was way more manageable. The first part of the session honestly felt like light pressure instead of sharp pain, which helped me relax a lot more going into it. What I liked most was how it took the edge off in the beginning—especially during outlining, which is usually the most painful part for me. It definitely made the experience easier to sit through, and I was able to stay still longer without needing as many breaks. Lasted about 2-3 hours.

This product is genuinely amazing!! I used this for a Brazilian wax and Yes there is still some stinging but it last for 5 seconds after you pull the strip and after you feel no pain and it is NOTHING compared to unnumbed waxes. I do have a pretty high pain tolerance in every area except my lower regions I am extremely extremely sensitive and even plucking one hair with tweezers is absolute torture but this helped me wax with not one tear shed. You do have to leave the product on your skin for 30-40 minutes to feel the effects( or should I say not feel them lol) I would give this product 5 stars but my only issue is that it did not keep the effect all the way through my wax. Granted I am a scaredy cat and it takes a while for me to hype myself up to rip the strip off(not due to the pain I just can't physically get myself to do it with no hesitation for some reason) so it might just be because my waxes are longer than most or it might be user error (not using enough product or not wrapping in saran wrap) but either way I will be buying the product again it is definitely worth the money and despite the small packaging you do not need huge globs every time and I can say this will more than likely last me 8-10 waxes if not more before running out even if I do use more product the next time I wax
