Description

Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch uses hydrocolloid technology to effectively treat the cold sore. The patch forms a protective barrier that contains the virus and enables fast effective healing.

Directions for Use:  Apply POLYSPORIN® Cold Sore Healing Patch at first sign of an outbreak. When the patch starts to detach from the skin, remove it and replace it with a new one until cold sore is healed. Patches should be used 24 hours a day. On average, the patch will stay on for approximately 8 hours. You do not need to remove the patch every 8 hours, only when it begins to detach.

    Worth it!

    These have saved me more times than I can count. If I don’t use them I end up with multiple cold sores. They also stop the fear of spreading my coldsore to my son. An absolute must for me

    Love them but can no longer find them

    I love these patches, but can no longer find them in Quebec, Canada. I have been told they are discontinued. They were perfect to cover and protect my cold sores. I found the helped the healing process. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion.

    Sort of works

    It depends on where your coldsore is on your lip. If it's on the outer edge it works well. But if the Coldsore is more near the middle or inner part of your lip it doesn't say on well.

    Wouldn’t use again

    I get bad cold sores and I have bought this once and wouldn’t buy it again. It hides the cold sore but really doesn’t heal the cold sore. I would rather use something from the doctor

    I love these but..

    I love them when I have a cold sore to help cover up the monstrosity however I find these show-through make-up and peel off the second I have a drink of anything. I have to use a straw and be mindful of it the entire time which is not ideal.

    Cold sore saviour!

    I get a lot of cold sores in the winter and it really hurts to eat and talk for long periods of time. Cold sores heal when your mouth isn’t constantly moving lol. These help cover and protect cold sores from moisture (saliva/air) and really help to stop the splitting that happens when your lips move too much. They really do help heal them days faster!! These are my go-to product to use when I get a sore.

    Something that actually helps

    I get cold sores when I'm particularly stressed. I hate having to reapply creams over and over again just to find relief. I found these patches and it changed the way I handle cold sores. I don't have to wake up to a cracked and sore lip. This patch helps move between the various stages of a coldsore quickly and they help reduce the visibility of the sore itself.
    I always have some in my purse.

    I would give this product negative reviews if I could

    When this cold sore patch first came out I bought it because I just happened to get a cold sore and I had started a new job. I followed the directions but instead of containing or healing the cold sore, it made it a hundred times worse. I am convinced that what used to be a small single cold sore location now has become a large cluster of cold sores because I used this awful cold sore sticker. It trapped all the weepy virus loaded goo inside the sticker. My lip swelled up so badly, I looked like I had been punched or perhaps had an awful shellfish allergy. I hate this product so much, it’s been 9 years since I used it and I still am mad about it.

    Love it

    I frequently get fever blisters and while I do take an oral prescription I always use these patches to cover my blister and I find it heals faster and is soothed as opposed to just using my oral medication alone. 5/5
