Does not work
Reviewer:

After applying several coats, not only did I use half the bottle to cover one leg, but it did not relieve any pain! Definitely not worth the money. Just applying ice for a long time actually works better.
So worth it . And it last a long time

Yes there will still be pain but I am still numb 3 hours after waxing. If you've ever tried waxing without it you'll notice an incredible difference when you try this. No joke i cant even attempt to wax without it.
Horrible!

Did not work AT ALL! I used it about 5 minutes before waxing, and nothing even happened. I tested it again several times on my hand and nothing ever happened. Don't waste your money.

Well I can't tell you whether or not it numbed the pain, because the woman who was waxing me had to totally clean the area before she waxed; the spray wouldn't let the wax stick to my skin!! Waste of money.
little good

This product did not work for me AT ALL!!!!
I would not advise purchasing this product as I found it to be a waste of money, and a waste of time waiting for the product to kick in!

I used it and it works. First do not have any alcohol, meat or spicy food. The chemicals in those food does not allow the lidocaine to work. Touch the area to be sprayed. Feel it. Then spray so that it reaches the skin, not just on the hair. After spraying, wait for 5 minutes. Then spray again. Massage the liquid into the skin. Wait for at least 20 mintues. Touch the area, you will feel numb. Then wax. But the nerves deep inside the body will still be sensitive. So it only removes the sting associated with waxing, but not the pain.
I love it!!!

I have never been able to tolerate home waxing (althogh I still give it a shot when a new product comes out) so I go t a salon regulary since it is slightly more bearable(I'm pretty sensative). A couple of visits ago my waxer who recently discovered this product raved abot it and used it on me, It was absolutely fabulous, the best wax ever!!! She used it on my next visit with equal results so much so that I tracked it down and ordered some to give it the old home test. I tried it two days ago, and while waxing at home will never be as easy as at the salon, I can finally tolerate it with this product. My skin never feels numb, or really much different at all but the proof is in the waxing and I'll never wax without it again.
dont bother

It does absolutely nothing. Its a waste of $10. I have had success with their brand of waxing,but not this. It hurt very bad.. i will wait until i can find a good numbing spray.
I'm just not sure

I used this product with the Gigi Brazilian hard wax kit, and found the experience to be less painful than getting my brows waxed. I'm not sure if the spray helps though, because i've never used this particular wax without it. Either the nature of the brazilian hard wax is very low on the pain scale, or the numbing spray really helps. Every other wax i've used, however, i used without any sort of numbing product, and found that waxing hurt like... yeah. So... I'm too much of a scared wimp to not use the spray now. It's kind of pricey for a tiny bottle, but you don't have to use much. I think it helps... maybe it's placebo.
The active ingredient is lidocaine. Lidocaine is dirt cheap, so $10 seems sort of unreasonable. But i'd hesitate to try something else before waxing, because other lidocaine oils might not be compatible with waxing.
A slight word of caution... Lidocaine is also a relatively common allergen, and can cause itching/redness/swelling/hives. I did not see any allergy warnings on this product. Allergic sensitivity + waxing = a possibly hideous/painful rash. It might be well worth a patch test beforehand. If you think you are experiencing an icky reaction, see your doc.
worthless

no wonder they dont sell this in Australia, its totally worthless. the numbing spray does not numb the skin, it might as well be water. do not be a sucker like me and buy it thinking it will be a way to reduce pain, the only way to do that is to keep going back.. it never hurts as much as the first time.
ok, rediculous...

So, you would assume that all these bad reviews are from dissatisfied customers who have had at least some good results with the product.
Well, I went ahead and got the product. I would never have thought that it could be complete junk.
I tried the product on my arm to test it. It had no effect, so I decided to spray the crap out of the same spot on my arm. I sprayed the same spot 4 times. Each time I waited 2 minutes after spraying again. I tugged at the hairs on my arm where I sprayed it, and compared the feeling to that of my other arm at the exact same spot. The spray had absolutely NO EFFECT except to make my arm smell bad.
another bad experience with GiGi

Nothing from this company has ever worked for me. This product is no different. This company takes advantage of people, and I can't believe that there has been nothing done about it.
Waste of Money

I have been getting Brazillian waxes for over 2 years now. I decided to try this product after reading about it in Cosmo. I paid my $10, (including shipping) and I was super excited to try it. I even had my sister try it. If anything, this product made it worse for me and my sister. The skin burned badly afterwords. It was absolutely horrible. I was waxed 2 days ago, and I am still sore. I have never had this bad of an experience.
Ouch

Complete waste of $10. I really wish I would have read the reviews before I bought.
