Product Overview
J-CAIN CREAM 10.56% is a Korean topical anesthetic cream formulated with lidocaine at a concentration of 105.6 mg/g. Manufactured by Vivozon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., this export-designated formulation is designed to produce localized anesthetic effects by temporarily reducing sensory nerve activity. It is commercially distributed in a 500 g container and is recognized in the medical aesthetics supply market as a high-concentration lidocaine cream.
J-CAIN CREAM belongs to the amide-type local anesthetic category and is intended for external topical application. Its pharmacological action makes lidocaine relevant to various clinical settings where localized sensory reduction is required. However, specific applications must comply with the product's approved indications and applicable national regulations. The Korean regulatory labeling for the 10.56% export formulation identifies reduction of penile tactile sensitivity as its stated indication; cosmetic procedural anesthesia should not be assumed to be an approved use.

Ingredient information is based on the registered Korean export formulation. Exact packaging, labeling, and product presentation should be confirmed against the supplied unit.
How J-CAIN CREAM Works
The anesthetic activity of J-CAIN CREAM is associated with lidocaine, a well-established amide-type local anesthetic that acts on voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cell membranes.
Under normal conditions, sodium channels allow sodium ions to enter nerve cells during electrical activation, supporting the generation and propagation of nerve impulses. Lidocaine reversibly inhibits these channels, reducing the ability of sensory nerves to transmit electrical signals.
This mechanism produces temporary localized sensory reduction in tissues exposed to an appropriate lidocaine formulation. The extent and duration of anesthesia depend on multiple factors, including formulation characteristics, application conditions, tissue properties, and individual responses.
The established pharmacology of lidocaine does not independently demonstrate a specific onset time, anesthetic duration, or clinical effectiveness for J-CAIN CREAM in cosmetic procedures. Such claims require product-specific evidence and authorization for the intended application.
J-CAIN CREAM Formulation Differences
Korean pharmaceutical records distinguish between the standard J-CAIN CREAM formulation containing 9.6% lidocaine and the export-designated J-CAIN CREAM 10.56%. These are separate registered formulations and should not be treated as identical products.
| Specification | J-CAIN CREAM 10.56% | J-CAIN CREAM 9.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Lidocaine Concentration | 10.56% | 9.6% |
| Lidocaine per Gram | 105.6 mg | 96 mg |
| Formulation | Topical Cream | Topical Cream |
| Korean Registration | 201206967 | 200401237 |
| Registration Designation | For Export | Standard Domestic Registration |
This comparison is provided to clarify product identification. It does not indicate that both formulations are offered on this TEOSQUARE product page or establish clinical interchangeability. Confirm the lidocaine percentage on the actual container before evaluating the product.
Storage & Handling
According to the Korean product registration, J-CAIN CREAM 10.56% should be stored in a tightly closed container at room temperature between 1°C and 30°C. Protect the product from direct sunlight and unsuitable temperature conditions.
- Temperature: Store between 1°C and 30°C according to the registered storage conditions.
- Container: Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
- Environmental Protection: Avoid direct sunlight and exposure to excessive heat.
- Safety: Keep out of reach of children and prevent accidental exposure.
- Product Identification: Check the original container for the correct concentration, batch information, and expiration date.
Follow the instructions and storage requirements printed on the supplied product. Market-specific labeling may contain additional restrictions.
Safety & Regulatory Considerations
J-CAIN CREAM 10.56% contains a concentrated local anesthetic and must be handled in accordance with its approved labeling. Lidocaine can be absorbed systemically, and excessive exposure may cause serious adverse effects, including neurological and cardiovascular toxicity.
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or other amide-type local anesthetics must not use the product. The registered labeling also identifies restrictions involving damaged or inflamed application areas and specific patient circumstances.
The product contains propylene glycol and other excipients that may cause irritation or hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals. The presence of a high lidocaine concentration should not be interpreted as evidence of superior safety, faster onset, or longer anesthetic duration.
Regulatory authorization, permitted indications, professional eligibility, and distribution requirements vary by country. The South Korean export designation does not establish marketing authorization or approval for cosmetic procedures in other jurisdictions.
