Muchcaine is the topical anaesthetic line from Maypharm, Inc. in South Korea, and it is one of the reasons Korean clinics get through injectable appointments as quickly as they do. A numbing cream is not a glamorous purchase, but it is the product a busy practice runs out of first, which is why we stock it in both a working tube and a bulk jar.
The line splits along a single axis: what is in it. The two 10.56% products are single-agent lidocaine creams at a high concentration, formulated for fast onset before injections, laser work, hair removal, tattooing and permanent makeup. Muchcaine Plus takes a different approach, pairing lidocaine at 2.5% with prilocaine at 2.5% — a lower total concentration of each agent but a combination that extends the working window, which matters when the procedure itself is long.
These are professional-use products for trained clinicians and cosmetologists working in aesthetic medicine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application area, contact time and maximum dose; we do not publish application protocols here.
The Muchcaine range
Muchcaine Cream 10.56% (30 g)
Muchcaine Cream 10.56% in the 30 g tube is the chairside format — the one that lives in the treatment room and gets used a few grams at a time before needle and cannula work. At 10.56% lidocaine it is at the strong end of what is available, and Maypharm formulates it to numb sensitive areas without the burning sensation that makes some creams unpleasant to sit under. The tube is the sensible choice for a practice that wants controlled dispensing and a clean product every time.
Muchcaine Cream 10.56% (500 g)
Muchcaine Cream 10.56% in the 500 g jar is the same formulation in bulk. Each gram carries 105.6 mg of lidocaine with benzalkonium chloride at 0.2 mg as preservative. This is the format for high-volume clinics and for procedures that cover large areas — laser hair removal over a leg or a back gets through far more cream than a lip appointment. The cost per gram is where the jar earns its place; the tube is for convenience, the jar is for economics.
Muchcaine 5% Plus (Lidocaine 2.5% + Prilocaine 2.5%, 500 g)
Muchcaine 5% Plus is the dual-agent formulation, combining 25 mg of lidocaine and 25 mg of prilocaine per gram with methyl hydroxybenzoate as excipient. The reason to choose it over the 10.56% cream is duration rather than depth: adding prilocaine lengthens the period of useful anaesthesia, which suits longer sessions — thread lifting, extensive mesotherapy, permanent makeup, tattooing and minor surgical preparation. It is supplied in a 500 g jar and is designated professional use only.
How to choose
Decide first on formulation, then on format. If the procedure is short and the need is rapid, strong numbing, take the 10.56% cream and pick the size that matches your throughput. If the procedure runs long, the prilocaine combination is the better tool.
| Product | Active agents | Size | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muchcaine Cream 10.56% (30 g) | Lidocaine 10.56% | 30 g tube | Chairside use before injections and short procedures |
| Muchcaine Cream 10.56% (500 g) | Lidocaine 10.56% | 500 g jar | High-volume clinics, large treatment areas, laser and hair removal |
| Muchcaine 5% Plus (500 g) | Lidocaine 2.5% + prilocaine 2.5% | 500 g jar | Longer procedures needing extended anaesthesia |
All three are applied to intact skin only. Contact time, quantity and maximum dose are set out in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the product — follow those, and observe the contraindications for local anaesthetics.
Storage and shipping
Store Muchcaine at room temperature, sealed, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep jars closed between uses. We ship from Seoul in protective packaging; the 500 g jars are heavy, so tell us your quantities and destination and we will work out the most sensible freight option before you order.
Buying Muchcaine from MY SKIN KOREA
We buy Muchcaine inside Korea, direct from the Korean supply chain, and ship it in original Maypharm packaging with full remaining shelf life. We are in Seoul and we ship worldwide, and because numbing cream is a consumable rather than a one-off purchase, most of our Muchcaine customers set up a repeating order rather than reordering in a panic. For bulk pricing and standing allocations see our wholesale page, or contact us with your monthly usage. Muchcaine sits with the rest of our numbing agents, and it ships happily alongside our dermal fillers and skin boosters in one consignment.
