No Scream Cream – Pre-Wax Numbing Cream for Painless Hair Removal | 20-Minute Fast-Acting Formula | Reduces Hair Removal Discomfort | Safe for Bikini, Legs, Underarms & Face

The most potent numbing cream on the US market! 20% is crazy work, but it is effective! I would imagine it would work for tattoos though I used it for waxing. It's thick, so it stays put after application, even if you're up and moving around. It did not irritate my skin, which surprised me because I have sensitive skin. No discernible scent. I will definitely use this again if I go too long between sessions. Did it make a full Brazilian painless? No. Did I expect it to? No. But it certainly reduced the pain that comes along with your first session or going too long between sessions. If Amazon sells a cheat code to waxing, why feel like Steve Carrell in the 40-year-old Virgin??

I am not new to bikini waxing but thought that it would be nice to have something to make the experience not so uncomfortable. I bought this and I used it. 1) it doesn't rub in. I think it just went away by rubbing off onto my pants. 2) no smell 3) I noticed no difference. TRUTH. Waxing isn't as painful to me as it probably is to some. I've had three kids so my perspective on pain is a little skewed. Anyway, this seriously did not a single thing for numbing anything whatsoever. Maybe they are banking on a placebo effect but I didn't fall for it, ladies/guys.

I have used this product for years. Before I discovered it, every time I got waxed I seriously considered whether or not I wanted to torture myself like this. I have very sensitive skin and bad defects in the skin from scars and stretch marks. After using it, the pain is significantly reduced. I put it on 30 minutes before, then another application right before, then wipe it off. If I do not wipe it off thoroughly it does interfere with wax adherence. If I am getting waxed instead of waxing myself, I just inform the aesthetician that I have used a numbing cream, and am not suffering from any sort of medical issue. I do have to make sure the hair is trimmed to a reasonable length, no longer than 1/4 inch, or it will still be painful. I find this lasts at full effectiveness for me about 30 minutes, so if I am getting legs and Brazilian I have them do the Brazilian first. The bottle is smaller than I would like, but this has also been the most effective for me. The active ingredient in this is similar to lidocaine, so if topical lidocaine like in Bikini Zone or first aid cream works for you, this may as well. If it does not, keep trying until you find something. It’s worth it. For me personally, all of the -caine type topical anesthetics work well, for a very limited time. For reference I have Scandinavian type skin and hair.

So this cream works great to numb my skin superficially. I kind of have to use a lot of it cuz I got it for my legs so I'd be able to finally use my epilator. It really doesn't take long to feel (or should I say not feel haha) the effect of it. I'd rub it on my legs and go do something and when I realize it's been about 20 minutes then I'm numbed. Only issue I had is that epilation still hurt. I know it's not gonna numb ur skin as if it's dead, u'll still feel some sensation but not nearly as much. However, my problem lies in the fact that I have deeper pores so there's a tad more than just a little bitty hair follicle getting plucked out. Because of that the process was still painful and I ended up shaving instead. I love the cream tho, it did as it's supposed to do but I'm still wimpy haha. I guess I need something that numbs deeper than the surface, or perhaps I'll just try waxing again since that's quicker at removing a larger area of hair at a time. If waxing does end up being my new plan of action I'd definitely get this product again cuz I'm positive it would make it a more bearable experience.

This cream worked as intended, but I used A LOT! I probably used half of the bottle...no lie! This product + the wax + my skin = awful rash! I've never gotten a rash from waxing before, but when I used this product I did. I have gotten waxed with and without this product, and I will just say this: A brazillian is NEVER a joyful experience, but with this product, it took the edge off at best. But for the price of this product, I would rather just go without. I can honestly say I will never use this product again and it's a waste of money. The brazillian hurts for about 2 seconds, and then you are fine. I am awful with pain and I never once screamed, cried or yelped. Don't waste your money!

THIS CREAM SAVES LIVES! In all seriousness, everyone knows getting a Brazilian bikini wax is horrifying. It's a painful process, but necessary for all the thick-haired ladies out there. I bought this product after reading every review, good and bad, and hoped for the best. I was so afraid that I would be one of the women who the cream did not work for. That was not the case AT ALL! This stuff works, but you have to put a lot on. It's a small tube, and I will be lucky to get three waxes out of it. I put a THICK layer on 45 minutes before my appointment time, then reapplied in my more sensitive areas 20 minutes before. 5 minutes before my appointment, I went in side and wiped it off in the bathroom (it is somewhat messy, so I wore a dress and nixed the underwear!). Now, don't think that you won't feel a thing using it, because that is not the case. You'll feel some, but it is MUCH more tolerable. I would say it takes the pain from a "I don't think I will survive to the end" to a "oh wow I'm surprised at how little that hurt." Moral of the story: BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! I do believe that it is worth mentioning that you'll get the most out of your wax if you have 1. A skilled and knowledgeable wax specialist. My first time, I don't believe my wax specialist did a very good job informing me about good post-wax care and actually performing the procedure. I recommend asking around to find the right person for the job. 2. Use a soap in that general area that your wax specialist recommends. I had been using the pink Dove bar of soap and apparently that leaves a film that can get in your hair follicle and make your follicle thicker, making waxing more painful. 3. EXFOLIATE. Ask your wax specialist to recommend type of exfoliator to remove dead skin. This will also make your wax much more tolerable.

Didn’t work for me, even when I wait 45 minutes that was the recommended time and over priced for the size

Reading the reviews, they appear neutral - some say it worked, others say it did not. I was unsure, but I thought it is definitely worth a try! I followed the directions carefully. I also decided to do an experiment on some areas, so I applied double layer on some skin. I was honestly excited; finally finding a product that will help me experience some degree of less pain. However, to be honest, it did not have an effect on me. Unfortunately, I still felt every bit of agony as my hair follicles were being ripped out of their root... I did enjoy the results, of course. I am also considering of going back for a wax in the near future.. just extremely nervous about the pain.. it is 45 minutes of torture! I am hoping to find another product, cause this did not work on me. For those that it did work, that's wonderful for them. I hope I find a product that will work for me as well.

It didn't really work on my skin. I tried it several times still no luck! They give you free samples of products in the package, which shows great service. Overall, it's not something I would purchase again

this cream is amazing - highly recommend! waxing still isn't pleasant, but nowhere near as awful as it is without this cream. the one downside is that the shipping costs are equal or more (I forget) than the cost of the product, which doesn't make sense - but still worth it. I would buy more if the shipping costs were more reasonable.

Derlivery was very quick however, the product don't now come with the box or any direction of use or warnings as well it also did not work

When I opened the package I was extremely disappointed. First of all, this product is expired. On the label it says expiry 03/12. Being that there is active medication in this product I feel that this is extremely unacceptable. Secondly, the product has clearly been used, there is dried up cream on the outside of the package and therefore I am not receiving the amount that was paid for. Finally, the packaging came extremely dirty, actual dirt was present on the tube of cream.

This sucks.
