All these over the counter hemorrhoids drugs are based on Lidocaine Topical which is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Lidocaine topical (for use on the skin) is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts, scratches, hemorrhoids, and burns.

This mild anesthetic is very easy to use and fat acting, which makes it a very popular hemorrhoids medication for helping people with mild irritation.
