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.

    Better Than Abreva

    Having a patch that helps conceal your cold sore is wonderful of its own accord but also one that helps protect and stops you from constantly touching or rubbing more cream into the sore is even better! I hate having to rub cream into a cold sore every 30-60 minutes, and I feel like it actually does a better job than Abreva since it's not exposed to the elements.

    Will never buy again

    I have tried this product more than once and everytime the patch just peels off and does not speed up healing of my cold sores. I was not happy with this product and did not find it effective. There are much better cold sore products out there.

    YES

    I have been dealing on and off with cold sores since I was a teen, and they are the absolute WORST. I had tried so many different treatments that never truly worked until polysporin came out with these patches. They are my saving grace. They stop the virus from spreading and in my opinion speed up the healing process. Way better than any cream. Totally worth it!!

    These can be super helpful!

    I’d highly recommend these for the “right” cold sore. What makes a cold sore a “right” cold sore? The placement. The cold sore has to be on the outer portion of your lip, because if it is too close to the inside of the lip then you risk placing the patch on part of the inside where it is wet and will fall off. I also find them more helpful at night, to contain the cold sore and it stays on all night because you’re not talking, eating, or drinking. They come in an effective and convenient carry case. I’m also a fan of how they are individually wrapped in wrapping similar to a bandaid, so that you can place half of it correctly and firmly and then get the second half down.

    great product

    I unfortunately suffer from cold sores. This product seems a bit on the expensive side but they are completely worth it. (sometimes you can find a $5 coupon which is awesome)
    They help cover up the unsightly things up and help with the pain associated with them which is the big winner for me.
    The only negative I have is that they are kind of tricky to get the patch separated from the tabs which can sometimes ruin them.

    Completely disguises

    I have suffered from cold sore since I was a child. These patches not only completely cover the blister , I can make them and the cold sore all but disappear with makeup. Covering the blister effectively keeps it from spreading. I also have a young baby so they help me ensure I don't accidentally spread a cold sore to her ! I put one on first sign of tingling.

    Not what I was looking for

    I used this product during a bad cold sore outbreak. I found that I was replacing the bandage quite often. I prefer a cream but was interested in trying something new. Not my cup of tea but others might like it.
