Thank you Lysine!
I used it on my first day of an outbreak on my lip. I went from 2.5 weeks to 3 days!! This stuff worked wonders on me. By the 3 day i already had a scab and from the first day i did not get swelling.

Magic Cream
I’ve had colored for the past 15 years. I’ve never used a treatment because I figured it wouldn’t work since it’s a virus. I bought this for the first time the day I felt a cold sore coming up. I put it on every hour and within 2 days my cold sore was gone. Like freaking magic. I’m still using it just in case but I literally couldn’t believe it. Going to order some lysine supplements now too cause this amino acid is crazy effective.

Cold sore under nose
I bought this after being sick & getting a cold sore under my nose, which I had no clue could even happen. It immediately helped with the pain, however, after a couple days of use, I noticed that the actual medicine was clumping up & scabbing over. I kept cleaning it & continued to use. After stopping the medicine I noticed it was healing better. Im not sure if it did that because it was under my nostril & not my lip but I would still recommend for pain.

Glad i bought
I had one starting a few days before i purchased on June 11th. Applied every few hrs like it said and 4 days later its practically gone. I rarely get them and let it run its course which takes longer but this one hurt. This stuff was great.

Magic!
This stuff does magic!! I was all in with quite a big cold sore on my lower lip. Normally it takes nearly weeks for it to heal completely. My lips are very dry and they keep cracking and the area starts bleeding over and over again. I started using it 2 days ago and it´s already so much better then normally. The best is that its really soothing and keeping my lips smooth!

Literally A God Sent
I will never use another cold sore product ever again besides this one!! I unfortunately did not catch it before it actually started blistering so I waited for it to finish blistering and kept the patches by the same brand on it and then when it started scabbing up, I applied this product using a Q-tip and when I tell you within a day, everything was gone pretty much. It’s like it melted everything off. I was putting it on and then putting the patches by the same brand on over the medication so I don’t know if using the patches and the medication at the same time is what helped a lot but I loved it. Literally had everything cleared up in 2 to 3 days!!! The only thing I didn’t like about it is the strong scent but that is going to come with almost any product.

Gone in 5 days
It really works!! I had a nasty cold sore all around my lips and nothing really worked. I tried lip balms, the Abreva cream, heavy face moisturizer, and nothing helped. Then I came across this from Target and it took 5 days of constantly applying this product around my lips for it to go away. This product also helps with the uncomfortable feeling from cold sore. Highly recommended!

Don't waste your time/money
Does not work. Used it for 1 week and the cold sore went through its normal course (I’ve never had a cold sore that lasted more than a couple of days). Will not buy again. The other name brand lip cream definitely clears me up quickly - will be spending the extra money next time.

Love it!
This stopped my cold sore in its tracks! I applied this as directions stated every two hours and also took a lysine supplement when my cold sore started. Always apply these topical supplements with a qtip to avoid contamination of the tube. Today is day three and I usually would be swollen like a balloon, but instead it’s shrinking. I get cold sores so often and I am very pleased with this.

Holy grail
Once you feeling the tingle and little bump of your cold sore coming on you have to put this on constantly. It’s saves you from getting big or worse ones

Not disappointed! Just kind of small
I had a nasty cold sore developing from all the smoking,chocolate, spicy and stress I had been through. I got sick and tired of the pain so I stopped by Target and picked this up. Bro…… best thing ever! It healed up in 24 hours!!!! The tube is very small tho but you wouldn’t need a lot anyway! Very minty as well!

The itch lingers more than I'd like
I chose this product over the other brand, but I will say it isn’t taking away the itchy feeling as much as I’d like. It does work, but I find myself having to apply more often to relieve the itch. For the price, its ok. The cold sore I have is on my nose FYI.
