O'Keeffe's Working Hands Pain Relief Cream with 4% Lidocaine, 3 oz — Cooling Peppermint, Fast-Absorbing Moisturizer

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Pain Relief Cream is a fast-absorbing, non-greasy 2-in-1 medicated lotion that soothes pain and protects dry, irritated skin with 4% lidocaine and cooling peppermint oil.

Engineered for hands and other localized areas that need immediate comfort plus durable moisturization, this 3 oz tube pairs a topical anesthetic with skin-protectant ingredients that sink in quickly. The formula targets short-term pain, itching and irritation while leaving a hydrating barrier that helps prevent further moisture loss. Dermatologically tested and designed for practical everyday use, it fits easily into a work bag, glove compartment or first-aid kit.

How quickly will I feel relief after applying this cream?

Most users notice cooling and numbing sensations within minutes due to the 4% lidocaine and peppermint oil. Absorption is fast, delivering temporary relief from pain and itching while the cream begins to hydrate the skin.

• 4% lidocaine for topical numbing effects
• Peppermint oil adds an immediate cooling sensation
• Non-greasy texture absorbs rapidly into skin
• Typical reapplication: up to 3–4 times daily as directed

Can this product help with dry, cracked, or irritated work hands?

Yes — it combines targeted symptom relief with a skin-protectant base that helps restore moisture and shield skin from further drying. The cream soothes irritation while leaving a protective layer that supports skin recovery.

• Provides both symptom relief and ongoing hydration
• Helps reduce itching and discomfort from dryness
• Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin tolerability
• Non-greasy finish suitable for repeated daily use

How should I use it and are there age or safety limits?

Apply a small amount to the affected area up to three to four times per day for adults and children 12 years or older. Do not use on deep puncture wounds, animal bites, or areas infected unless instructed by a healthcare provider. For children under 12, consult a doctor before use.

• Adults and children 12+: apply 3–4 times daily as needed
• Avoid use on open deep wounds or severe infections
• Stop use and seek doctor if irritation worsens
• Keep out of reach of children; call poison control if large amounts ingested

What makes this different from regular hand cream?

This product is a medicated skin protectant combining 4% lidocaine for temporary anesthetic action with conditioning ingredients that hydrate and protect. Unlike ordinary moisturizers, it is formulated for rapid symptom control plus barrier support for compromised skin.

• Dual-action: immediate relief plus sustained protection
• Medicated formula versus cosmetic-only lotions
• Fast absorption without heavy residue
• Designed for hands but suitable for other small-area uses

Who is this for? O'Keeffe's Working Hands Pain Relief Cream is intended for adults and teens (12+) who need quick, topical relief from localized pain, itching or irritation while also restoring and protecting dry or cracked skin. It suits tradespeople, healthcare workers, gardeners, athletes or anyone whose hands endure frequent stress and need both symptom relief and reliable moisturization. If you are uncertain about use for a child under 12 or have a serious skin condition, consult your healthcare provider before applying.
