RectiCare Anorectal Lidocaine 5% Cream, 15g | Maximum strength 5% lidocaine cream numbs & relieves pain from hemorrhoids & anorectal disorders. 15g tube.

RectiCare is one of the strongest over-the-counter topical creams you can buy for hemorrhoid and anorectal discomfort because it uses 5% lidocaine, which is the highest non-prescription lidocaine strength available. Its main job is simple: numb the area fast, and it does that very well.Within a short time of applying, it noticeably reduces:burningitchingsorenesspain during flare-ups or after bowel movementsThis makes daily activities much more tolerable when symptoms are at their worst. Many users in hemorrhoid and anorectal care discussions mention 5% lidocaine creams like RectiCare as one of the few products that provide true immediate comfort when irritation is intense.Application is easy, and a very small amount goes a long way. The cream spreads smoothly and starts numbing fairly quickly without a strong medicinal smell.That said, it is important to understand what this product does and does not do:- It provides rapid temporary pain relief- It does not shrink hemorrhoids- It does not heal fissures- It does not treat the root cause of anorectal disordersEven the manufacturer positions it specifically as a pain/itch/burning relief cream rather than a curative treatment. If swelling reduction is needed, RectiCare actually sells a separate “Advanced” formula that adds phenylephrine for hemorrhoid shrinking.So this is best thought of as a symptom-management product — excellent for getting through painful flare-ups, travel, workdays, or nighttime discomfort, but not something that solves the underlying issue by itself.Pros:-Fast numbing relief from pain, burning, and itching-Maximum OTC 5% lidocaine strength-Easy to apply, small amount works well-Helpful during severe flare-ups-Good temporary comfort after bowel movementsCons:-Relief is temporary only-Does not cure hemorrhoids or fissures-Small tube for the price-Some users may need frequent reapplication during bad flare-upsOverall:An excellent “keep on hand” cream for rapid hemorrhoid discomfort relief. If you need immediate numbing and soothing, this works very well — just know it is for symptom control, not long-term healing.

The cream worked better than I expected bringing relief in just a few minutes. Product was delivered in good condition and arrived on time.

Works as described

Smaller tube than I expected but oroduct works well

Great product

Barely anything in the tube. Way overpriced for such a small amount. Doesn't work at all. Wondering if what's in the tube is even what it's supposed to be. Very disappointed.

Lo volveré a comprar ya que cumplió todas mis expectativas muy buen producto

While this product helped my fissure to ease the pain it did not heal my fissures. The biggest issue was this stuff isn’t cheap yet you get 15 grams in a tube that will probably hold four inches long of product. If you don’t know how much 15 grams are, there are a little over 38 grams in an ounce. Using this twice a day and enough to fit an amount half the size of a pencil eraser lasted me for one week. In my opinion that is such a rip off. I’ll look for a different product due to the tiny amount I gave it a three star.I would suggest looking for something else with more product.
