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

I have a cut on my arm that has random nerve pain and this has been the only numbing medication that will take away my pain. Super effective works quickly and leaves behind no sticky residue. It does have a funky smell but once rubbed in the smell goes away. It’s a very thin cream which I love because my skin absorbs it quickly. You just rub it on where you have the pain, air dry it and it sets in to remove the pain almost instantaneously.

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.

it did the job.. doesn't last too long.. just like Brand name... no difference really. You must apply wth your hands . no applicator. Pretty good for the price.

I recently tried lidocaine cream for some muscle pain I've been dealing with, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness. I applied it to the sore areas, and within a short time, I started feeling some relief. It numbs the pain really well without that greasy feel some creams have, which is a huge plus.One thing I appreciated was that it didn't have an overpowering smell. I used it during the day without feeling self-conscious about any lingering odors. Just a heads up, make sure to wash your hands after applying it, unless you want to accidentally transfer the cream to your eyes!Overall, lidocaine cream definitely helped with my discomfort. It's easy to use and gave me the relief I was looking for, making it a solid choice for anyone dealing with similar issues. I’d recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something to help with pain.

Personally don't feel that much relief but doesn't have a bad smell decent ingredients and good bang for buck

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!

As described worked well for what I needed it for, no overly harsh smell.

I use this with Biofreeze for back pain when Tylenol and Motrin aren’t doing much, if anything, and it the combination lasts for a several hours. I use about a bean sized amount, and it takes care of my lumbar and one of my hips. It goes on easily and is odorless. A bottle that size lasts for a very long time, and it’s also effective for bug bites, rashes, etc. It’s a household staple for me.
