LMX4 Lidocaine Pain Relief Cream, 15g Tube – Topical, Fast Acting, Long Lasting use for Cuts, Scraps, Sunburn, Bites

I am 72 years old, and 100% needle phobic. I look at them I start to get sick to my stomach.......I can get myself in a frenzee just thinking about them. I become a mess. Well, I just had a heart valve replaced and my Dr. put me on Ozempic and Repatha.......both shots I have to give myself. Well, the Ozempic is bad enough getting the courage up to inject myself, and the Repatha, when I found out the needle is twice the size of the Ozempic, well............it threw me over the edge. The pen sat in my refrigerator for two weeks without the courage to give myself another shot. Enter LMX4. After using the LMX4 I got the courage to give myself the Repatha shot tonight. I FELT NOTHING. ZERO. I heard the click of the injection pen.........and nothing else. What a relief........HOME RUN. This stuff works and could not be happier.

This was recommended to me years ago to use prior to laser hair removal sessions and I’ve since used it for various other procedures such as microneedling, microcurrent, high frequency, and tattooing. It’s expensive, yes, but it will numb the hell outta anywhere it’s applied and keep it numb for a good while.You need to apply at least 30 minutes prior to whatever procedure and I put just enough to cover the entire area and leave and thin layer before washing or wiping off immediately before whatever procedure. A little bit really does go a long way.I have zero pain tolerance but unfortunately I also enjoy many painful things and this works great!

TL:DR - Didn’t help with injection pain, weird skin reaction for days after application.I am terrified of needles and sensitive to pain. I had to start taking weekly injections about a month ago for a health issue and found them to be very painful which didn’t help with my anxiety about the needles. This product was recommended to me to help with the pain.I tested the cream out on a small spot on my arm for about 20 mins and didn’t have a reaction. When it was time for my injection, I applied the cream and let it sit for about 60 mins before wiping with alcohol swab and injecting mediation. The initial pick of the needle seemed slightly less painful, but I still felt everything, which I hate. The next morning I noticed red dots around the area and the following day there was a lot more redness and swelling only in the area where the cream was applied (see photo).I’ve taken the injections for five weeks without any issues so my only thought is that it’s the cream or a combination of the cream and the medication. The expiration date is 10/2025 and the lot number on the cream is 231838 in case anyone else has an issue as well.

I am having electroysis hair removal done, I had had my eyebrows done 20 years ago, and found out that the laser hair removal treatments do not work on grey hair. So for my chin hairs I developed PMP, I went back to electrolysis. My husband was so happy with the results he offered to pay for my legs to be done. Apparently my legs are far more sensitive than my face, and it was nearly unbearable. so I researched on line the best otc topical anesthetic and it said LMX 4 - 5 % strength was recommended for use for prep for electrolysis. I bought this product, and was amazed if you follow the directions, I barely felt what she was doing at all. it was amazing, and perfect. I spread some on thinly to the treatment area, after cleansing area with Bactine. Then waited 15 minutes, reapplied a more generous amount to the same area and wrapped it in plastic. The directions said wait 30 minutes before treatment, since it is a 30 minute drive to where I have it done. I removed the wrap just before going in. I showed her which area I had treated and if she went outside the numbed area I could tell A BIG difference. The product came promtly and did everything it was suppose to do. I couldn't have been happier!

I was very happy with the service from the vendor and would definitely order from them again.This cream was recommended to me by my dermatologist. I have been having skin tags removed. Getting stuck with the needle was worse than the actual removal. My doctor said this would help. I had another appointment today, and it worked great. The pain from the injections was greatly diminished and I hardly felt the needle prick.However, I do have a couple of complaints about this product. First, the price. The cheapest I could find it was on Amazon for 26.99. But that was cheap compared to the prices I found on other sites. Second, considering the price, the tube of product you receive is very tiny. The tube is 15 grams which is half an ounce! (one ounce = 30 grams)Second, I found the cap on this product very difficult to open. You have to press down and twist, which is not easy to do without squirting the cream all over the inside of the cap. It was also difficult to get the cap back on.I definitely intend to keep using lidocaine cream for my treatments. However, I will not be ordering this product again. I found a site that offers a similiar cream that comes in a much bigger size, for just a few dollars more. i will be ordering that instead.But despite the above complaints, this product does work.
