TOPICAINE 5% is a non-oily, translucent topical anesthetic gel containing lidocaine 5% in a micro-emulsion with skin permeation enhancers and soothing agents.

This is the maximum concentration allowed by FDA for an over-the-counter (non-prescription required) skin numbing agent.

It is manufactured in the USA at a FDA registered facility under Good Manufacturing Practices. Each size of Topicaine 5 is registered in the National Drug Code and the NDC number is displayed in its label.

HOW FAST IS THE SKIN NUMBING ACTION? The numbing action starts immediately (tingling sensation) and excellent skin numbing results are obtained 20-25 minutes post application.

In general, the face numbs quicker than other areas of the body, because the skin elsewhere is thicker, with many keratinized layers that act as a barrier.

NON-OILY FORMULA! TOPICAINE wipes clean easily from your skin. Does not interfere with laser, electrolysis, permanent make up or tattooing procedures - other than keeping the skin numb and increasing your comfort.
