Curist 5% Lidocaine Cream Maximum Strength Topical Pain Relief - 6 oz (170 g) XL Tube - Numb Quickly & Effectively Numbing Formulation - (1 Pack - 6 oz Tube)

I use this lotion to numb for tattoos. It’s not too thick and not too thin. This product isn’t sticky or greasy. Super easy to use. I put a pretty thick layer on then wrap it in Saran Wrap for about 2 hours before my appt. Will keep u numb for about 3 hours. Once it wears off the pain is worse than if u had never had the cream. So make sure the tattoo will take less than 3 hours. Mine wound up taking 6 hours and the pain was almost unbearable. I stuck it out though and got a beautiful tattoo. The longevity is again great for a 3 hour or less tattoo so keep that in mind. There is no greasiness even when u wipe it off. Make sure to check with your tattoo artist that you can numb before hand. If they won’t let you then u need to find a better artist! A good artist will let you numb beforehand. This will not alter the texture of ur skin. So the tattoo is a smooth easy process as if nothing is on your skin. Make sure when u remove the Saran Wrap u don’t wash the cream off you just wipe it off with a towel. I have bought this cream 2 times now. It is a large tube so it’s great for larger pieces. I would suggest going in different days in 3 hour increments. This would be better for the pain control. I have 16 tattoos and have used this 3 times. Sometimes I just like to feel the pain of a normal tattoo lol.

This is such a wonderful product but not something you want to use on everything. I use it once a week to numb an area where I have to give myself a particularly painful autoinject medication. I also use it on super itchy patches of ezcema. It makes it more comfortable for me to sleep at night as the relief is so wonderful. The relief from the itching and pain from the severe ezcems patches lasts all night long. This cream is the most effective itch and pain relief cream I have tried and lasts the longest. It is easy to use, just be sure to read the instructions and do not use it in places like the eyes, mouth, or other places listed in the instructions. Well worth the price as a little bit goes a long way.

Helps numb pain almost instantly

One of the fastest acting lidocaine ointment I’ve ever used will definitely buy again!

THE HOLY GRAIL OF NUMBING CREAM!!!!don’t walk and run and get this cream!!!!you get the most for your money!!I did realize that with Saran Wrap for an hour or so really numbs you.BEST NUMBING CREAM EVER that I threw out my old one!Used this cream for belly shots!WORKED WONDERS!!!!!

The cap on this product is so hard to operate I had to remove it with pliers. Why such a difficult lid on some elder or disabled people would use?

Works very well, good value per ounce, lasts probably 3-4 hours, quick shipping

This didn’t work for me. I bought it to calm down my aching knees. Didn’t notice any effect. However it did calm down an itch rash from working in the yard. Thought it might be ivy, but it was gone the next day. Cream did help. Goes on easily. Tube is super easy to control how much comes out. No real strong scent like Bengay-type products.
