HealthWiseMaximum Strength Lidocaine Cream | Numbs Away Pain | Long-Lasting Relief | Non-Greasy | 1.75 Oz

This small bottle packs a big punch and the price… just right. I use lidocaine for a skin disorder called hidradenitis suppurativa “HS”. It is a chronic painful skin disorder that has no known cause and very few effective medications especially for someone suffering and fighting for relief for33 yrs. I’ve been prescribed lidocaine in the past with price of getting the RX fluctuating between $5-29.00 for a 1oz bottle! Note that’s WITH insurance RX coverage. Recently my RX coverage does not cover any cost of a 1oz tube of lidocaine ointment or solution. I HAD to find something agreeable with my skin. I tried this brand 1st. I tried 6 other brands bought from Amazon and from the pharmacy OTC. Some more expensive than others. Most were all roughly a 2 oz bottle. They all worked for me at 4-5% lidocaine… however all BUT this brand wouldLeave a lot residue on my skin.. some gritty and greasy… some the ointment would dry then flake or roll off if the area was touched by even just fabric from my clothes causing debris to get into holes in my skin healed or not. Thus causing me to flair up and make an already painful skin area worse.Gladly I came back to this brand.. the 1st brand I tried. It does leave a residue that can roll off and flake off if too much is put on, but not NEARLY as much as the other brands that I’ve tried in the past or even the prescription I had been filling previously. The bottle is 1.75oz at $2.99The product is inexpensive and has good results. Once applied, I know 10minutes later… I will have noticeably reduced pain and with very little residue. This brand is now my go to and I don’t plan on changing unless I can find something that is a liquid solution.You won’t be let down. Don’t let the small size of the bottle discourage you from trying.

PRO’s:• SIZE: Bottle size is an Easy Addition to a Medicine/Cosmetic/Go Bag• EFFECTIVENESS: 5% Lidocaine Cream is the Highest Quantity of Lidocaine allowed without an Rx Prescription• TIME: Works for 10-30 minutes depending on the individual and individual pain tolerance• DISPENSING BOTTLE: The bottle is easy to squeeze out product. The small hole dispenser keeps the excess product from spilling out/dispensing as much as the squeeze tubes.CON’s:• TIME: As with any Lidocaine product the time it is effective is short, just approximately 15-30 minutes, and depends on the individual and their pain tolerance.• TOPICAL: Only for Topical use, and does not really work beyond “surface” pain (in my opinion). For example, if you have a paper cut on a finger that hurts, it can be applied to and numb the cut; however, if You have a sprained ankle, applying this to Your ankle would be of little to no use.SIDE NOTES:I buy Lidocaine 5% cream for use on my Stoma (around the edge) of my permanent Ostomy (pain relief) and also for when I wax my bikini area (preventative numbing). In both instances, the short life span of the numbing isn’t an issue, and the product numbing is a reliefWould I Buy this Again? It’s Already in my Cart! So, YES!

Soothing balm

This lidocaine cream is easy to apply. It doesn't have a medicinal smell. It's just as effective as the name brand, but costs a fraction of the price. This is the best price I've found for a lidocaine cream. I highly recommend this pain relief cream.(My star rating system: 4 stars met my expectations, 5 stars exceeded my expectations, 3 stars fell short of my expectations, 2 stars significantly fell short of my expectations, 1 star highly suggest not ordering)

My mom has arthritis so I thought why not get her a pain cream and it didn't work as well as we thought it would. She still had pain after 30 minutes of application.

Great product. Works as advertised.

This lidocaine has seriously been a lifesaver. I started using it before my laser hair removal appointments because the sessions were getting more painful—and wow, what a difference. I apply it about an hour before my appointment and barely feel anything now.It makes the whole experience way more comfortable, and I’ll definitely keep buying it as I continue my treatments. Highly recommend if you're doing laser hair removal!

I know this is a cheap option, but I’ve used plenty of different lidocaine 4% creams over the years, and I can confidently say this one is the worst. I used it for a tattoo session—took a hot shower to open up my pores, applied the entire bottle (since it's so cheap), wrapped it, and let it sit for 40 minutes. The moment I unwrapped it, I could tell it did absolutely nothing. Not even the slightest numbness.I know 5% lidocaine is better for tattoos, but that’s not the issue here. I’ve used many different 4% brands that worked just fine—this one, however, did nothing at all. Save your money and go for a brand that actually works.
