How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Benzocaine 6.3%/Menthol 0.5% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation that combines two potent active ingredients, Benzocaine and Menthol, to provide effective relief from pain and itching. This topical cream is designed for localized treatment, making it ideal for conditions such as sunburn, insect bites, minor cuts and scrapes, and minor skin irritations.

Benzocaine, a local anesthetic, works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is applied. This action provides temporary relief from pain and itching. On the other hand, Menthol, a cooling agent, delivers a soothing sensation to the area where it is applied, further enhancing the relief from itching and pain. The combination of these two active ingredients makes this topical cream a powerful solution for a variety of skin conditions.

When using Benzocaine 6.3%/Menthol 0.5% Topical Cream, it is crucial to follow the directions on the product label. A thin layer of the cream should be applied to the affected area and gently rubbed in. Over-application should be avoided as it may lead to skin irritation.
