Works as well as brand

This works every bit as well as the brand name. My only caution is be extremely careful when squeezing it out, or you're going to get WAY more than you need and end up wasting more than you want to. Still, it's just as good as brand for nearly half the price.

Changed recipe

I have gotten this target brand cold sore medicine for about 4-5 years now because it was clear and discrete when healing my cold sore. I got it today, and what the heck Target?!!! Why did you change it to white?!!! Now I feel ashamed and embarrassed to have cold sores when it's not my fault it was hereditary! PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK TO CLEAR!!! I just spend $26 on medicine that makes me look stupid and unhygienic. If I wanted this, I would have switched back to Abreva. CHANGE IT BACK TO CLEAR, PLEASE!!!

Fast acting cold sore treatment

I developed a cold sore on my lip. I rushed to target to find a treatment for it. This is my first time trying this product and I am very happy I got it. I've been using it 1 day 1/2 and my cold sore has drastically gotten better. The product states it reduces healing time and it really does! I recommend it over Abreva!

Better than name brand

Highly recommend using this at the FIRST signs of a cold sore. I used it along with an oral prescription and I’d say it work really well to dry it out! I am not sure how it works without an oral medication as well though! The tubes may seem small but it lasts a long time!

Apply when you feel the tingle and maybe a little swelling!

I haven’t gotten a full known cold sore since trying this product. 1/2 the price of Abreva and works just as well! I apply it more often than recommended and it works great. Works as good as anything I’ve tried.
