Are there any mild beauty afflictions worse than cold sores? They are unsightly, painful, and contagious! That's why we are desperate for remedies to quash this embarrassing affliction the moment it rears its ugly head. Still, they take time to heal and until it becomes socially acceptable to wear a hygienic mask in public you're stuck with it for a week or more... until the next outbreak.

For the uninitiated (and we're seriously jealous by the way), a cold sore is a common condition caused by the herpes simplex virus that breaks out as a painful blister around the lips, nose, or chin. Approximately 80% of the human population (!) carries this virus, with 20% experiencing a few outbreaks every year. Flare-ups are triggered by psychological or physical stress and can take up to 12 days to properly heal.

Obviously twelve days is too long to put your life on hold and that's where Polysporin^® Cold Sore Healing Patches come in. This is a sticker-like product applied directly to the affected area using hydrocolloid technology (translation: absorbent gel to encourage healing), which forms a protective barrier that helps heal, conceal, and protect the sore from secondary infection. 

Best of all, the product's material allows you to disguise it even further with concealer or lipstick making it practically invisible so you're back to feeling like your beautiful self again right away. Don't believe us? Check out our makeup tutorial!

The Polysporin^® Cold Sore Healing Patch is designed to:

• Heal fast
• Instantly mask your cold sore
• Relieve pain
• Reduce tingling, itching & burning
• Reduce redness & swelling
