My family has been using Polysporin products for many years and have had success with their healing ointments and ear and eye products. Purchased Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch for my family member. There are 15 patches in the package, that provided more than enough for healing. The wrapper was easy to remove. Liked that it was clear and helped hide the embarrassing cold sore. The patch helped heal the cold sore. There was some tingling but it wasn't bother-some and patch stayed on. You could also put cover-up on to help hide the cold sore. Most importantly it did the job of healing the cold sore.

It seems to heal quickly it releaved the pain and stop the itching, that is what drives me insane the itching! i would recommend this product.

Important product to have handy, especially during winter. I get cold sores too frequently and these make them almost invisible.

I have to say I was skeptical at first than I tried it and it actually helped in the healing process. I found it did not hide it like it said it would but it did heal quicker using the patch

Have found Polysporin products very good for what they are intended as well as very versatile for other uses as well... we have used the triple antibiotic as a disinfectant and healing agent as a veterinary drug for putting ear tags in lambs, as it protects the lamb from infection as well as supports healing in a very timely fashion and lamb with Polysporin on tags (similar to having your ears pierced)... healed faster and had almost no incidence of infection from the piercing.
Cold sores will cause more cold sores the long it takes them to heal... so healing a cold sore faster is important in preventing the spread of the infection further... Polysporin is our family go to for any infections or to prevent any infection from starting. : ) We keep it on hand in vehicles and often use it to protect against other skin issues such as cracked skin on hands from cold or excessive washing, to prevent further cracking and start healing immediately. It is also a good barrier to prevent infection from getting into a cut or sore. : )

Extremely effective and soothing. Works really well, and is compact, and easy to use.

Product works well, but the down side for me is to take it out. It pull out the skin.

I like it as it is effective and useful for going out because it makes the sore not so visible.

Best new product glad they came out with this patch form idea, its easy to apply for ppl on the run due to working.

I use these often! I work in an iron ore mine and there is a lot of dust. These patches protect my cold sore and help keep it clean. It heals faster and keeps it moist so it doesn't dry out, crack and bleed. I also use them on stubborn pimples..heals great.

The only downfall is the packaging. Removal of the patch from the adhesive backing can be difficult sometimes. If you're not careful it could curl up and stick to your finger. But other than that I love them...price could be a little lower but great product!!
