What it’s for
The clinic trick: spray, count to three, done before the skin notices.
What to check in the listing
Check the listing says how long the numbing lasts — it's usually seconds rather than minutes. Not for use on broken skin.

TypeComfort
How it helpsColdHow it helps is the kind of comfort item it is: numbing, cold, heat, pressure, distraction, skin care, bruise care or a practical aid. Numbing creams need 20–60 minutes depending on the product (4% lidocaine about 20–30, EMLA-type about 60); cold and pressure work in seconds; distraction devices work on the nerves' attention.

PriceMid-rangePrice tier is the rough position within its category, not a live price: budget is the cheapest sensible option, premium costs more for a reason the page explains.
For what actually takes the sting out, and in what order to try it, read Making injections hurt less.
