    Riley - 22 days ago, Verified purchaser
    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is a GAME CHANGER! I will say I do have medicine to help kill the virus, but in combination with this, my life was back to normal within 2 days! The scab came off, new skin underneath immediately. Consistency is key, using a proper amount, and making sure your cold sores sore was constantly hydrated was what helped heal it.

    I get cold sores occasionally. I usually use Abreva but because of the price, I decided to try this instead since it's more affordable. It doesn't work. I used it for several days and my cold sore never went away, in fact it just got bigger. I will 100% recommend Abreva instead. It's pricey but works within a few days!

    AW33 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I felt a cold sore coming on so I looked to see what, besides Abreva, would be good to use. I saw reviews for the Lysine and thought I’d give it a try. My cold sores never really even made it to the blister stage because I started using the lysine before they could really form. Just a tiny one, when usually I get two and they have to go through the whole blister/scab phase. I bought the lysine on Friday and by Sunday the cold sores were almost completely gone. I would recommend this and would use it again.
