Gebauer's Instant Ice: Topical Skin Refrigerant and Cold Spray

I use this often when I get some sports injuries and it works great

Great for dialysis

Great product, even my podiatrist used it on my toes for my procedure.

Be aware that This is not gebauers ethyl chloride, The product that doctors and trainers use. It is an OTC product. It will numb things pretty well but you need a pretty heavy dose, it lasts 15 seconds, Where the prescription version will last 1 minute or more. When you search for the original product this comes up in all searches. They do not advertise this product completely accurate in my opinion but you have to read. It is a little expensive for what you get, especially If you use it often. So just be aware and know what this is you are purchasing. Overall I am very pleased with this product. It is the best that I have found on the market! Update Jan 2021. I've tried tons of stuff and this is the best! Its still not as good as the original but it is the best numbing spray I've found Update Oct 2021. Purchased more again. Tried some new sprays but they were no good! One of them did Not numb things at all, not in the least. Unless you have a prescription from a doctor this is the best OTC numbing spray on the market! I will definitely continue to purchase it.

I take an at home, pre-loaded shot monthly that is less pleasant/causes some pain, so my spouse administers it to me. I typically ice prior with some relief. A review suggested this was life changing, so we decided to try it. The tl;dr is that this made the process more pleasant. In comparison, I thought this worked better than icing the skin and we were satisfied with our purchase. The spray likely took 10 seconds for the skin to turn white. We used the shot immediately. I could still feel the end of the shot and it had mild discomfort after, but just made a point to use the arm some. I will worry less about the expectation of pain, because the shot is worth it no matter what and this worked well.
