He’s a very good product. I used to buy the other one, but before you change the label and it still works exactly the same.
I used this when I got my hand tattooed it worked fine for the outline but after that it seems to wear off

Numbing Cream for Piercings.
Applied to the skin before your appointment, topical numbing cream helps reduce the surface discomfort of the needle at the moment of contact. Comfort Gel — Platinum is designed for exactly this kind of targeted, before-session application.
A piercing happens in a single moment — but for many people, the anticipation and the sharp initial sting are enough to make them hesitant. Applying numbing cream to the piercing site beforehand is a straightforward way to take the edge off that moment of contact. Looking for the best numbing cream for piercings? For small, precise sites like a lobe or helix, a targeted gel format suits the job — which is why we recommend Comfort Gel — Platinum for piercings.
Ear and cartilage piercings.
Ear lobe piercings are one of the most common uses for piercing numbing cream — simple, accessible, and quick to prepare. Apply Comfort Gel directly to the lobe 20–30 minutes before your appointment. Cover with a small piece of cling film to support absorption. Remove and wipe clean before your piercer begins.
Cartilage piercings — helix, tragus, conch — tend to feel sharper than lobe piercings due to denser tissue. The same application method applies: targeted gel to the specific site, covered, 20–30 minutes before the appointment.
Application tip
Customers preparing for ear or cartilage piercings typically apply Comfort Gel to the exact piercing location only, rather than the full ear. Precise application gives better results than broad coverage.
Facial and body piercings.
Nose, eyebrow, and other facial piercings can be prepared the same way — a small, targeted application of Comfort Gel to the specific site 20–30 minutes before your appointment.
For body piercings, apply the gel directly to the intended piercing location. The area should be clean and dry before application. Cover with cling film where practical to support absorption and remove before the piercing begins. Let your piercer know you have applied numbing cream in advance — professional piercers will clean the area before beginning as standard.
Important: Comfort Gel is a before-session product — it must be applied to clean, dry skin before the piercing takes place. Do not apply to inflamed or sunburnt skin. Carry out a patch test at least 24 hours before your first use.
