Review on Ebanel 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream Maximum Strength, Numb25 Topical Anesthetic Pain Relief Cream 1.35 Oz, Infused With Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Lecithin For Local And Anorectal Uses, Hemorrhoid Treatment by Todd Stepp

I rarely write reviews, but this one seemed necessary as I rely on customer reviews for products like these.I ordered this in hopes that I could use it as a multipurpose "numbing" cream for my back and tattoos. As someone with a herniated disc, cracked vertebra, and degenerative disc disease, this was by far the MOST DISAPPOINTING product I've ever used.First of all, "numbing" is a total lie. This did not numb anything even the tiniest bit. My skin, my nerves, my muscles, nothing was even remotely close to being numb. I'm glad I only tried using it for pain and nothing else. I had read so many positive reviews for this garbage so I was really hopeful.The ONLY "good" thing about this product is that it's not super greasy or sticky. There's little, if any, scent to it so you don't have to worry about your clothes smelling or being ruined.I gave the stuff to my dad in hopes that it would help him some (he has had a couple back surgeries after an injury and deals with a lot of pain and stiffness in his back) and we were both pretty bummed when he discovered it did nothing for him either.Long story short: get Tiger Balm if you actually want real pain relief. Even icy hot works 100x better than this pathetic excuse for a "numbing" cream.Save your money. Buy something better.
