I had a breakout of cold sores from covid and I bought this product with high hopes especially because it's affordable. I knew it wasn't going to be like abreva... but the only thing this product did for me was moisturize my cold sores which did help a little. It did NOT however rid my cold sores any quicker or relieve much pain... do yourself a favor and get the real stuff from your Dr if you're prone to cold sores.

Abreva has never worked for me so I decided to take a more natural approach. This is my 3rd time using this product and I can honestly say it DOES cut down cold sore time. As soon as you feel that tingle and those tiny bumps, start taking Lysine pills (I take 2 tablets of the 1,000mg) and start applying this to your lip every 2 hours like it says. My cold sore usually lasts 14 days (doesn’t start healing until like day 8), but with this it was fully healed and gone by day 9. That may not be what you want to hear, but if your cold sores are as bad as mine then there’s no quick fix - just a quickER fix. 4/5 stars only cause it claimed to cut it in half and it wasn’t quite half but still worked

Would not recommend to anyone. Felt the tingle Saturday, bought and used Sunday. It’s now the next Saturday and it’s still here and it looks like it’s spreading. This does not work!!! Please don’t be cheap. ABREVA WORKS BETTER!! Cold sore has been here for 6+ days. ABREVA, cold sore dried out by day 3 and gone in 5 with little scabbing.

This stuff actually works. Abreva never worked for me so I decided to try this. I used it the day after I first felt a cold sore coming on and it’s now day 3 and it never even broke the surface. I’m still using it until I feel it completely gone, but this stuff is game changing. I also scanned it on my YUKA app, and it’s rated 100/100.
I got this after getting a cold sore and usually mine last 10+ days. With this product (and it was already about 12 hours after it started) it healed in 7 days. It also has a nice cooling effect and helps with any pain. I have it on hand now so I will try it sooner next time to see if it prevents it
