Q: How does a hydrocolloid patch "relieve pain.?" Appears to be an unsubstantied claim which was already removed from Mederma.com . Please look into this. Thank you.

submitted by Claudia - 3 years ago

  • A: I find that it helps to alleviate the itching. It also stops the cold sores from cracking. It keeps it dry as well. So where the patch doesn’t “relieve pain”, it does provide relief from issues associated with cold sores.

    submitted byMusicwhiz - 2 years ago

  • A: Thank you for your question about Mederma Cold Sore Discreet Healing Patch - 15ct. The product does not currently claim to relive pain. The product contains hydrocolloid for fast healing. The product provides up to 12 hours of non-stop action from day 1 to promote healing, protection, and conceals cold sores.

Q: Why does it say "Each patch relieves pain" in the description above? These are fake news and the brand expert has confirmed that. Do better, Target.

  • A: I find that the patch alleviates the itching. It also stops the cold sore from cracking and it keeps it dry. So the patch doesn’t “relive pain” but it does offer relief from the symptoms of cold sores.

    Reduced healing time from 10 days to 4!

    These are the best thing to work for my cold sores! I put one on before the sore erupts then change it whenever it’s white. These reduce my healing time so much! I applied one Friday and have been changing regularly and by Monday I think it’ll be completely healed over! Just don’t rip it off before it’s ready unless you wet it to loosen it a bit. I wash with face wash with every change and make sure it’s completely dry around the site to make sure it adheres well.

    Translucent look

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how the product blend in well enough to use in public without feeling self-conscious. The only down size is that its size is quite big to me. It stay put for hours which is great. I like how I can still wear lipstick on but I still prefer using it at night. It works well, shorten the breakout time. I highly recommend the product.

    nice and discrete

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I let my cousin use them and they helped clear up their cold sore in less than 2 days. They stick on well, they don’t hurt to take off and you can’t tell your wearing them!!

    Great option

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these patches work great. They’re discrete and they help my cold sores go away very quickly. I like using these a lot more than using the expensive white cream that’s super noticeable!

    Packaging for is interesting…

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very easy product to apply, but with unnecessary packaging, unfortunately. Maybe if they’d use compostable packaging it’d be better. Seems to work well, doesn’t feel like anything on the skin…

    Hides well

    These are really useful for hiding inflamed sores! They seem to insulate and protect the area. Even though you can still see the whitehead through the patch, it’s far less noticeable than the sore actually is. I was surprised by how much less visible it became. I have a show in two days, so this will be perfect to put makeup over. Worth it!

    Good for protection & discretion when using makeup

    Bought this product 2 days ago. My cold sore was just starting small pimple size. Bought these patches and it grew so big and disgusting. I do believe it protects u from contaminating others and things but they do not heal. If anything it makes it worse. Use the cream when ur home and the patch if u have to go out.

    Convenient packaging and quick to resolve cold sore!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome product! I picked up before I flew to vacation because I thought a cold sore starting, the packaging was perfect for the flight, when I got to my destination, I definitely needed to take action. I followed the instructions and put one on the cold sore and less than 12 hours later I saw a tremendous improvement! Definitely getting another pack to keep in my travel bag!

    Peels skin

    Like many, I bought these for rapid healing and hiding of the cold sore. They stick just fine, but when needing to be removed, they peel off skin. My cold sore began healing faster without them.

    they work!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have heard great things about these patches. a friend actually suggested them and when i got the opportunity to sample them i had to snag it up. I have struggled with cold sores and these have been a blessing to try. They do work and they are pretty clear so you can’t see them . easy to remove and the package comes with plenty. the instruction are easy to follow as well.

    Does its job!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE these patches for when I get a cold sore! It comes on a single package which is perfect to prevent contamination. They are very discreet and you can even put makeup over it. I found that they made the healing process quicker. I wish they would make different sizes but other than that they work great.

    Good

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Maderma culture are patched. 15 count is a discrete healing patch that is comfortable and protects you from the outside elements. It is durable and lasts a long time for an up to 12 hour relief.

    Great at reducing cold sores!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cold sore patches work great against reducing cold sores. As you can see in the picture, after just two days of wearing the cold sore patches, the sore reduced significantly! No more pain or redness. I recommend these for anyone having cold sores forming on their lips.

    Seems to be a good option for painful sores

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The patches come in packages that look like contact lenses. I was a little confused over which side the patch was on (it was on the beige side). Once on the face, it seems to appear like a dry patch of skin. I did not have a cold sore at the moment so cannot comment on the effectiveness.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use cold sore patches and very convenient to apply. The patch stays in place and it’s very comfortable and won’t even though it’s there. The packaging is simple and easy to carry daily with you
