I've tried these from the first time I ever had a cold sore despite the fact that other people recommended another product. I went with my gut. Polysporin is usually great on cuts so I told myself let's give it a try.. totally worth it. I paid a little more than I would have liked but now I don't even hesitate. First there the obvious benefit of the patch creating a barrier that contains that little (or big) sore. Even esthetically it's just so much more discreet then having it out there. I mean... its not invisible... but a cold sore with some sort of cream on it is even worse so. Effectiveness is very polypsporin quality. My cold sore was gone in about 5 days which is significant because I've seen several people with cold sores up to 10 days. Plus with the fact it shields it's less of a self concious 5 days and I'm not worried about it spreading to other areas of my face or lips. And you can still eat and drink and it's stays on. For all these great qualities I recommend these patches
I always have a pack in my purse just in case. :)
