5% lidocaine — the highest concentration available without a prescription.
Looks after the skin while it numbs, rather than just deadening it.
Long enough for a full sitting, not just the first twenty minutes.
Water-based, non-greasy, and never tested on animals.
The formula
Apply a thick layer an hour before your appointment, cover it with cling film, and the session stops being the part you brace for.
Water-based and non-greasy, so it wipes away clean and stays out of your artist's way.
The detail
A generous layer over the area, plus a margin. Do not rub it in.
Cling film over the top holds the heat and helps it absorb.
Apply about sixty minutes before your appointment, not on arrival.
Water-based, so it comes off clean and leaves the skin workable.
This is one of the best numbing creams. I’ve used that actually does work. It goes on just like regular cream and it starts to work within 5 to 7 minutes. It doesn’t numb completely, but definitely enough to wear. Any pinching is tolerable. Great to use with tattoos or injuries.

Excellent numbing cream, once applied onto your skin, and after wrapping the area and waiting at least one hour, the effect is amazing and you don’t feel the needle.

I tried most the cream but nothing perfect for me, but Dr Care is very well and also approved by my dermatologist for my cosmetics procedures and best for Relax tattoo session

About an hour. Apply a thick layer, cover it with cling film, and leave it. Applying on arrival does not give it time to work.
Up to six hours, which covers most sittings. For very long sessions, talk to your artist about timing before you start.
Tattoos, waxing, laser, microneedling, microblading and piercings. Anywhere on the skin that is about to be worked on.
It is water-based and non-greasy, so it wipes away clean rather than sitting on the skin. Tell your artist you have used it before they start.
No. Information here is general and is not a substitute for advice from a clinician. Patch test first, and stop use if you react.
Dr. Care makes one thing, and makes it properly: a maximum-strength numbing cream for anyone about to sit through a tattoo, a laser session, waxing, microneedling or microblading.
Every tube carries 5% lidocaine — the highest concentration available without a prescription — alongside Emu Oil and Arnica, so it looks after the skin rather than simply deadening it. The formula is water-based and non-greasy, which means it wipes away clean and stays out of your artist's way. It is vegan, cruelty-free, and sold buy one get one free on every pack size.
Apply a thick layer about an hour before you go in, cover it with cling film, and the part you normally brace for stops being the hard part.
