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.

    Okay for night time use

    I get these from time to time, especially if I know I will be around people the entire time I have this. It works well if you use this right away or at night when you are sleeping, Other than that though it does not heal them fast, just makes the shedding process more bearable.

    I would buy this again

    These are wonderful. They work very fast. They also stick really good and last awhile. I was very happy with how fast it healed the cold sore and how you couldn’t tell I had one on.

    Yes!

    Definitely worth buying this to keep in the cupboard if you are prone to cold sores. Easy quick and effective treatment. I found this better than using a cream

    This was an ok product

    I get the occasional cold sore. I tried the patch thinking it would help clear it fast. The patch was okay but wasn’t what I expected, I thought it was going to help more

    Just won't stick

    Bought these for my 11 year old boy as he keeps getting cold sores. They're hard to even unstick from the backing paper/plastic but once you apply them they fall off the moment he moves his mouth. I suppose if the cold sores were elsewhere, I might have a different experience but as it is, we've tried them on 5 different occasion and none have stayed on more than an hour. We're sticking with creams.

    Amazing product!

    Not only does this product improve the look of cold sores but it dramatically increases healing time and comfort. It can be worn under makeup or on clean skin. Almost invisible.

    Love this

    This product has saved my life. Someone who always gets cold sores, I could never find anything that would heal them quickly. These are so easy to use, and hide everything. It’s like you don’t even know you have a cold sore wearing it.

    Better than expected

    I am a person whom frequently gets cold sores. My mind was blown to find out this patch was available. I'll start with the con, it was extremely difficult to apply- the patch wouldnt easily remove from its packaging causing It to stretch. This was the only con.

    Coverage and Stickyness

    I tend to get cold sores both on my lips and just below my lip line on my chin. The Cold Sore Healing patches are a god send because they stop the virus from spreading. Before getting the patches, I would notice that one would spread to three, and you were constantly battling to get rid of them. Now, I slap on patch as soon as I feel the tingle, and it rarely goes beyond the one. Also, if its on your lip or chin, these pads can almost be covered with makeup or a light lipgloss. They don't gather attention the way the "flesh colored" bandaids do.
    I tend to just have a package on hand in the cupboard for when you feel the problem coming on.

    Love these!

    I find these cut down on the length of a cold sore, especially when used as soon as you feel one starting.

    I also love that they cover the sore which I assume helps to stop it from spreading to others. I have young kids so I'm often kissing them or sharing drinks with them. Obviously I do my best not to WHEN I have a cold sore. But sometimes it accidentally happens. These help to protect from spreading.
