Lidocaine vs Capsaicin, which is best for your type of pain? These are 2 of the most popular ingredients in pain relief creams and with so many choices, it can be hard to know what to chose. On the one hand you want the instant numbing effect of Lidocaine. This lab made ingredient is sold over the counter at a maximum strength of 4%. Lidocaine at 5% over the counter is only approved for anorectal use, and it is not recommended for topical analgesic applications. Any lidocaine over 5% requires a prescription from a doctor. However, lidocaine at 4% can be very effective especially when combined with other powerful ingredients.
Capsaicin is an essential oil that comes from chili peppers. Yes, the same spicy peppers that you eat. Capsaicin, unlike lidocaine that is numbing, provides a warming sensation and send a signals tot he nerves of warmth vs pain. This ingredient also has anti-inflammatory properties.
