Dr. Numb Tattoo Numbing Cream - 5% Lidocaine Topical Anesthetic Cream - Maximum Strength Pain Relief Cream for Painless Tattoos, Piercing, Waxing & Hemorrhoid Treatment - 2oz (5)

It definitely works. Used this on my decently sized back tattoo just a few hours ago. It will numb the area so that you can get pretty far without any pain but once your tattoo artist goes over an area several times it wears off in that area and then it starts hurting. That makes sense though. Please be sure if you buy this product you’re giving it to an artist that knows how to use it, or else you won’t get the best results. If my artist is fine with the hassle involved I would love to use this for future tattoos.

I have allergies and very sensitive skin, so I'm always worried trying new products (even "anti-itch" creams give me rashes). This cream didn't bother my skin at all. I would happily buy it again. It works very well on mosquito bites

Was expecting this product to help numb a little better before this tattoo but it only helped a little…. Just not as much as everyone else told me it would or as much as it was reviewed to..

Easy to apply. Numbing effects begin working within minutes and last for several hours.

This does not work for 4-6 hours. Vasocaine is the best stuff I've found out there it actually works. But this Dr.Numb stuff is a huge rip off take your money else where I damn near used the whole jar and still no numbness felt the whole entire tattoo. Take my advice I literally used it 4 or 5 days ago. BUY SOMETHING ELSE

I ordered this once I realized it contained 5% lidocaine, not for numbing during a tattoo or piercing procedure. I imagine it might help in those instances, but nothing topical and over-the-counter will remove the pain of either completely.I've been using this to put on sore muscles and joints and find it is helpful in reducing pain. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but I'll accept that too. Oddly, the product box the jar is contained in lists it as a hemorrhoid cream, and in the safety info within the listing, it states not to insert this in that general location. So is this a hemorrhoid cream with lidocaine, or is it a tattoo-numbing agent, or both? I don't really care, I just want the lidocaine. I imagine it's harder to sell hemorrhoid cream at $59 for 2 ounces than it is to label it for tattoos and waxing, however.The cream is moisturizing and disappears into the skin quickly without a greasy feeling. I would give it a higher rating if it were more affordable. The cost seems excessive and there's nothing about this that warrants that kind of cost. If you're on a budget, shop around or wait for a lighting deal/coupon.

Pricewise this is one of the higher end products I’ve seen in this category, despite having the same exact percentage of ingredients of cheaper products, but it does what it’s supposed to if you follow the directions and play it properly. There are areas that it’s not going to be as effective, and those are the areas that are already more painful to tattoo over to begin with.

$69! For hemorrhoid cream! You've got to be kidding me! I just checked, and I can get a name brand 2.7oz container of lidocaine from Walgreens for $11. Granted, it is 4%. I don't know how much that extra 1% is worth... But I'm pretty sure it's not $58.Aside from that, this is how the product arrived to me - Box crushed. No security seal. CAP OFF! Yes, that's right. The cap was completely OFF, open and loose inside the mailer, and incredibly did not make a mess everywhere. So much for "child resistant packaging" . 😂The product does, in fact, work, which is the only reason it gets more than 1 star.
