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??

This stuff is an absolute joke. A client of mine recommended it for laser hair removal... NOT A GOOD IDEA. Apparently this worked well for him on his sensitive areas but it was the most painful and god-awful laser treatment of my life. (I had 8 previous sessions with greencaine that were much less painful.) I will never even consider buying this product again. My laser technician even commented that there was probably something in it that made it worse, because the level of pain I was experiencing was more than it should be if I had used nothing at all. Terrible, terrible choice on my part. Never again!

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.

I personally have a low pain tolerance. This doesn’t take the pain away completely but it does help. It makes “beauty is pain” more bearable. This is my 2nd time purchasing it because now I don’t want to do without it.

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.

Even though I read mixed reviews I decided to give this product a try. Anything is worth a try when it comes to the pain of Brazilian waxing. The first time I tried it I followed the instructions on the tube but didn't feel any difference in the amount of pain. Before counting it as a loss, I decided to give it another shot. This time I rubbed the cream in a bit more. I had been hesitant to rub it in a lot the first time since it states that there should be a layer of cream on the skin, and it's not meant to be absorbed like moisturizer. But on my second attempt I decided to rub it in somewhat more, but not so much that it was completely absorbed. That seemed to help. It did dull the pain for the most part. However, the areas that are particularly sensitive did not receive much benefit. It was still super painful in those areas. In defense of the product, I have very sensitive skin. I probably shouldn't be waxing but I find that my skin tolerates the long-term effects of waxing much better than the effects of shaving, so I do it anyway. I think this is a case-by-case situation. The cream probably works well for people with less sensitive skin but is less effective for those of us with highly reactive or sensitive skin. If you can afford it, you may want to give it a shot, but I wouldn't have high expectations. Even if it works really well for you, you are still going to experience some pain. That's simply the reality of waxing.

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

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.
