Best Tattoo Numbing Creams

Numb Master from Clinical Resolution lives and dies on its formula. While that can be a slightly general statement since all of these skin-care products are about their formula first and foremost, the difference between this cream's formula and its subpar peers is staggering.

First, the water-based solution acts as fast as the next numbing cream, initiating within 20-25 minutes. It isn't oily or cakey, so the substance is really easy to apply. Plus, it isn't sticky either, making the cream a real pleasure to work with. You can improve penetration by applying a plastic wrap over the cream. This way, you'll be able to minimize evaporation and drying.

The cream doesn't have a smell to it. You can use it before waxing as well as before getting the ink. You'll hardly feel a thing, no matter the body region or the tattoo difficulty.

As far as the product's disadvantages go, we feel a little conflicted. On one hand, it might require 2-3 layers to get that maximum effect. On the other, you can use it up to 6 times per day, which is an obvious plus when it comes to those longer procedures.

All in all, Numb Master from Clinical Resolution is an excellent product from just about every perspective. With it, you won't feel the slightest burning sensation. The bottle comes fitted with a tight cap that no child will be able to open.

Ebanel Laboratories NUMB520 isn't necessarily the strongest cream on the market today (though it is definitely up there) but that's not where the product's strength lies. No, more than anywhere else, its strength lies with the initiation time and duration.

Starting with the latter, the cream's numbing effect lasts between 1-2 hours, which isn't unheard of but impressive nonetheless. That's not the case with the initiation time.

Though it can take up to 20-25 minutes to reach that maximum effect, the cream initiates within 2-3 minutes, so you'll be able to begin the produce mere minutes after applying the cream.

Now, this is an excellent tattoo numbing cream but that's not the only thing it is good for. In fact, you can use it for different sections, as well as for hemorrhoid, local, and anorectal discomfort.

The formula is about as natural as they come, containing no parabens, harmful chemical, or additives. In addition to 5% lidocaine, it includes aloe barbadensis leaf juice, an ingredient that soothes your skin with its antibacterial properties. That being said, some redness might still show up here and there.

In short, Ebanel Laboratories NUMB520 is as much a tattoo numbing cream as it is a topical pain relief gel that can help you with lots of different issues. Plus, the water-based formula won't stain your clothes and/or bed.

The people behind this product market it as the only numbing agent formulated to be used before and during the tattooing procedure. Now, let's be honest here for a moment, it is hardly the only gel on the market that fits the said description. But it is definitely one of the more powerful, versatile, and effective numbing ointment out there.

With it, you won't have to break the skin first. Though it can take up to an hour to fully absorb into your skin, the gel's effects will last up to 2 hours after that. Its formula doesn't include epinephrine, so it won't negatively affect the ink or the healing process.

Looking to get rid of the ink? The cream is just as perfect for tattoo removal. On top of that, you can use it before and after piercing, waxing, laser hair removal procedures, electrolysis, permanent makeup application, the list goes on.

Speaking of the healing process, this cream won't just be able to avoid negatively affecting it but works wonders accelerating and improving the process. Including aloe leaf extract, menthol, and chamomile flower, the formula gives it great regenerative properties, soothing the skin and making it heal faster.

In other words, we would recommend this tattoo numbing cream to people with sensitive, delicate skin first and foremost. Doesn't matter the procedure, it will be able to keep that canvas of yours nice and comfortable, as well as pain-free.

For the most part, there's nothing particularly interesting about Uber Numb. Sure, the price is nice, especially considering how much cream you get in return. The little container, with its childproof packaging, is alright too. The cream usually takes somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes to initiate and 25-30 minutes to reach its maximum effect. That's not bad at all but it is nothing to write home about either. The ointment lasts for about an hour, which is, again, not bad but not that impressive too.

So, is there anything particularly interesting about this cream? Well, as it so happens, there actually is a thing or two. Not interesting per se but the cream's formula is enriched with Vitamin E, a vitamin known, among other things, for its anti-inflammatory qualities. Thanks to it, the ointment is able to relieve painful swelling. On top of that, the cream aids with moisturizing skin, thus preventing itchy flaking.

The cream is neither greasy nor cakey. It doesn't stain clothes. It doesn't leave an oily residue. However, it is a little sticky, so we still wouldn't recommend wearing clothes over it (at least not until it fully absorbs into the skin, which usually takes an hour).

Again, Uber Numb is an effective and cost-efficient tattoo numbing cream, plain and simple. That said, it can also help you with hemorrhoids, anal and/or retain pain, as well as lots of different skin disorders.

A name like Hustle Butter Deluxe definitely has some clout to it, we'll give the company that much. But, when all is said and done, it isn't particularly great as a tattoo numbing cream. Of course, because it isn't a cream, among other reasons. It doesn't necessarily numb but rather soothes your skin.

As the title suggests, you can use it before, during, and after the procedure. Making the skin softer and more supple, it gives the needle superior glide, as well as helping moisturize and heal the skin afterward.

What really sells the product is its formula. More specifically, the all-natural formula that includes shea, mango, and aloe butter, sunflower, green tea, coconut, rice bran oils, and other plant extracts. It is certified cruelty-free, 100% vegan, as well as petroleum- and paraben-free. There's no grease in it and it doesn't transfer onto your clothes.

The butter is able to drastically reduce bleeding, redness, and swelling, promoting healing upon contact.

The manufacturers recommend warming it up in your hand for a minute or two before application. Otherwise, you won't get its full effect.

Bottom line, Hustle Butter Deluxe won't numb your skin, so you might still experience a little pain and discomfort in the process. That being said, it will treat and take care of your skin arguably better than any of these creams.
