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.

Applied this 2hrs before my appt since I seen ppl saying that’s a good amount time and then put wrap around it. Was numb, all I could feel was vibration from the tattoo gun. Well worth it, tattoo only took about 50mins and lasted the entire time.

I'll come right out and say it honestly - I purchased this for rectal itching. Don't be shocked, everybody experiences it at some point in their life. But this was not just any old itching, but itching so bad at times that if I could transfer it to another human being at will, we could use this itching to replace waterboarding as a form of torture. It had gotten to the point it was seriously impeding my sleep and I'd wake up in the middle of scratching so bad I'd swear I scratched my tonsils. I gave up and contacted a GI specialist and set up an appointment, but thought I'd try this to see if it would calm the issue in the meantime. Yes, it did! I've used this the past week and it worked beautifully. There was no burning during the application, and the rectal area was numb and itch free all night, every night for the past week. A little goes a long way. There was no odor, and the area numbed quickly.I put a small dab on a portion of my body that is more sensitive than the rest of my body, and a few minutes later I could have carved into "it" with a razor and probably not have felt any pain. I'm not into tattoos or piercings myself, but for the uses I needed tis product for, I'd give it 5+ stars if possible.My daughter fell when she was 5 years old and had to get six stitches. The nurse came in first and had some whitish gel on a gauze pad and put it on my daughters cut and left it there for about 20 minutes, then tested it and the area was numbed enough that our daughter didn't need any further numbing for her stitches. She also didn't cry a single time during the entire process (I'm so proud of her!). I would not be surprised if this wasn't what the nurse used to numb the site before the stitches were sewn.My daughter reacts badly to bug bites. I am not sure but I bet this would be great to put on bug bites and stings and chiggers to help relieve the itching in these cases too.(Follow up edit): This stuff just works great. I had a string of bug bites the other day on my ankle that I kept scratching with my foot through my sock. I am not sure if it was spider bites or chiggers, but once I got home I put some of this Numb 520 on the bites and in about 30 seconds most of the itching was gone, and in a few minutes the deeper itch was numbed as well. It just took time for the medication to penetrate that deep. In this case the itch never came back.If you have an evil side, you could mix this in with someone's personal lubricant, feminine products, etc. - yeah, I have a devious mind, but that's probably why people don't start practical joke wars with me.

Bought this for numbing skin before laser hair removal and waxing.What I like• Starts working quickly and numbs effectively for up to an hour• Smooth, non-greasy texture that’s easy to apply and clean off• Works great for tattoos, microneedling, and minor skin proceduresWhat could be better• Needs to be applied 30–45 minutes in advance for full effect• Slightly strong smell when first appliedBottom line: Reliable, fast-acting numbing cream for all kinds of skin treatments. Perfect for pain-sensitive users, but look at Numb Master if you need a gel format instead of cream.

Had it on for like two hours and it only numbed in certain places. It was very weird, the areas that it did manage to numb worked really well
