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.

    Waste of your money absolutely does not work

    When this product came out i was so excited to try it . I was almost positive it would b the best out there only because it was made by polysporine so it had to be good !!!! Boy was I sadly disappointed big time, it doesn't stay on it's just very useless thing I've ever tried to be honest. Sorry but that was my experience....

    Bad experience

    I used this product on a minor cold sore but I ended up with a terrible reaction that caused a sore bigger then the original cold sore which took longer to heal

    Not a fan

    I suffer from cold sores often and these were referred to me by a friend who swore by them. And I have to say, I am not a fan. I didn’t find them easy to apply and when I finally did get it on the cold sore, it wouldn’t stay on

    Not sure if made the cold sore worse or better

    I would say the only thing good about this product is that it helps kept the ointment in place. It is not clear at all and I could defiantly see the patch on my lip. It made the cold sore soggy and wet when I took the patch off the layer of skin comes off. And the hurt like a b$&@ to pull off!

    NOPE

    I've had cold sores and have been fighting cold sores for my entire life- I got these to hide them, but it made them spread down my lip. what happens is this patch covers your sore and doesn't allow any of the sores to open and dry up, they open up under this patch and allow the infectious liquid to build up and attack other parts. i now have MORE cold sores because of this. i use CBD oil. honestly, ladies... get some. if you can. it takes them away within HOURS if you catch it quick. if you don't the sore dies up and scabs within a week(or sooner). its actually incredible, and I've been healing mine for a year with the CBD (its a miracle, seriously)

    Ive tried this product numerous times and everytime i tries it made a small cold sore turn into a major problem. ......the patch seams to trap the disease in enabling it to grow easier and not dry out......if u wanna temporarily conceal yer cold sore only to make it 100% worse for days n days u could try this product ......if u want it to go away buy abreava

    I've tried every product available for cold sores and I can confidently say about this one - save your money! It's basically a clear piece of tape that doesn't adhere for long. It is annoying, very noticeable, and completely useless.
