BLT cream explained

What BLT cream is

BLT cream is a compounded topical anesthetic that combines benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine in a cream or other topical base. This site is about that compound—prepared by Tustin Premier Compounding Pharmacy for licensed clinics.

What the letters mean

B — benzocaine
L — lidocaine
T — tetracaine

Onset, depth, and how long numbness lasts depend on the formula, the amount applied, the site, and the clinician’s protocol. This page does not give dosing or at-home application instructions.

BLT cream vs retail numbing cream

Search results for “BLT cream” and “BLT numbing cream” often mix compounded pharmacy pages with retail packets, tattoo supply, and foreign pharmacies. Those listings are not the same as a clinic-order or patient-specific compound prepared here. We do not sell BLT cream on Amazon or as a walk-in cosmetic.

BLT cream vs other topical anesthetics

Clinicians sometimes compare BLT cream with other topicals, including lidocaine/prilocaine products. Different actives and labeled uses apply. We do not claim BLT cream is stronger, faster, or more effective than any other product. The clinician chooses; we compound what they order when it is legal and feasible.

Common clinic uses

Microneedling
Injectables such as fillers or neuromodulators
