Nowadays, numbing cream is becoming more and more popular in the market, especially in cosmetic treatments. As we can see, it is widely used in clinics for laser treatment, micro pigmentation, skin micro needling, permanent make-up, and so on.

However, in the age of online shopping and numerous discounts, the hunt for a better deal on the numbing cream often comes at a price. Following the number of stories shared on the internet about people suffering unexpected medical effects after the usage of fake cream, we wanted to warn our customers about the risks of cutting corners and buying from untrustworthy merchants.

Usually, what customers were looking for lidocaine which is what it states on the packaging and on the internet has been the active anaesthetic ingredients. Lidocaine is a relatively safe product and there is no known real risk to humans. The concentration of lidocaine in our strong numb is 10.56%, which is comparatively higher than other brands in the market. During those days, we have gotten a lot of feedbacks from our customers that there are other kinds of numbing cream that the packages look the same with ours, but the effect is not that effective. After deep investigation, we found that the lidocaine is much higher than ours, such as 15.6%, 25.8%, 29.9% and so on. Those kinds of cream are generally cheaper than our cream. Please see the following pictures.

In the view of some customers, the higher the concentration of lidocaine is, the better the result is. We should mention that this is totally wrong idea for the following reasons. Firstly, if the cream has high lidocaine, it may cause cerebral effects such as confusion, changes in vision, numbness, tingling, and vomiting, what’s worse, it may cause low blood pressure and an irregular heart rate. Secondly, proved by some clinical test, the high concentration of lidocaine that the human being can stand is less than 11%. Therefore, the numbing cream that owns higher lidocaine doesn’t mean better effect.

We have built our reputation as a reliable brand of topical anaesthetic products. The bright packaging of Strong Numb today is recognized in, and out, of tattoo studios all over the world and is associated with the quality, efficiency and customer trust. So please, don't buy cheap, do your research, and deliver yourself the stress-free experience you were hoping for when looking for tattoo numbing creams in the first place.

Our products are tried and tested. The concentration of lidocaine is 10.56%, then it is totally safe for varieties of treatments on us. What’s more, we always recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin (with cling film as normal) before applying in full. Everyone is unique, all skin is different. If you're worried after a sixty-minute patch test, let us know. We can answer any questions you have.
