Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream, Pain Relief Burn Itch Numb Cream, Maximum Strength Topical Anesthetic with Allantoin, Vitamin E for Local and Anorectal Uses, Hemorrhoid Treatment, 1.35 Oz

I purchased this anorectal lidocaine numbing cream in an attempt to help with significant pain from anal fissures due to constipation and paradoxical puborectalis syndrome/anismus. The pain would be very unbearable at times: sharp, stinging, burning, and intensely painful. This lidocaine cream was extremely and impressively effective for this pain, proving prompt, priceless, and precious relief. The cream's numbing quality took effect very quickly, and a little cream went a long way due to how effective it was. I experienced no adverse effects from using this cream for this purpose-no rashes or skin burns. This is an extremely effective, affordable, and safe product for severe anorectal pain and discomfort due to anal fissures.

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.

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!!!!

This definitely numbs quickly and does what it’s supposed to. You don’t need much at all. It’s pretty strong though, so I’d be careful with sensitive skin. Still really effective for pain relief.

I have been using another brand of numbing cream for my tattoos for quite a while so I wanted to try this one on myself to see how it compared. I applied a generous amount and covered the area for about twenty minutes before starting my tattoo session. At first it worked really well and the area felt comfortably numb which made the beginning of the tattoo process much easier. After some time the numbing started to wear off and the sensation came back sooner than I expected. By the middle of the session the area was already feeling more sensitive again. I think this cream works best for smaller tattoos or short sessions because the effect does not last very long. I like that it is easy to apply has no strong smell and includes ingredients like allantoin and vitamin E which help calm and protect the skin. Overall it works but the numbing effect fades faster than I hoped.

I’m genuinely shocked at how well this works. I’m have many tattoos but recently started getting a full back piece where my first session was rough. My artist suggested trying numbing cream but I kind of brushed it off because I didn’t think it would really work. Before my second session I ordered this to try. I applied it about 2 hours before we started, and laid plastic wrap over my back, bu the time we started I was numb. I was able to sit like a perfect angel. In some areas I was completely numb, and only felt the vibration. There were some spots that hurt but I’m chalking it up to not having applied it perfectly. It’s a small container but I didn’t cake it on and I applied it to my whole back. I’ll probably get 1 or 2 more uses from the container. Not bad for the price considering there’s many “tattoo” brand numbing creams that cost far more. Definitely recommend trying!

I bought this to use before a Brazilian wax and I’m so glad I did. I applied a thick layer about 45 minutes before my appointment and let it sit, and it definitely made a difference. It took the edge off A LOT, especially in the most sensitive areas. It kicked in pretty quickly, didn’t burn or irritate my skin, and wasn’t greasy. Waxing is never fun, but this made it way more tolerable and helped me relax instead of tensing up the whole time. I’ll definitely be using this every time I wax. If you’re sensitive or nervous about pain, this is totally worth it!

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
