Hair Removal Methods Waxing and Sugaring

i found two products that claim they numb/lessen the pain of waxing. one’s active ingredient is 4% lidocaine and the other has 20% benzocaine… which one would be more effective?

thanks in advance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, i know absolutely nothing about those products but i don’t really thing is worth it do spent money in that stuff. Waxing pain is not that bad. In the beginning is bad but then you get used.

If these products are greasy they will interfer with the wax sticking to the hair.

Benz works better for some Lidocaine for others. Don’t know why. They need to be this strenght to work.

Waxing does get better after first time and the pimply bumps usually don’t reoccur.
