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.

    Effective cold sore healer

    It’s effective when the cold sore first appear. I tried to use it when the cold sore got bigger, it didn’t help. It is still a good remedy to keep at home or for travel.

    Second Chance!

    For those of you who suffer from cold sores like I do know the itch, pain, discomfort and embarrassment they bring.

    This product intentions are good I think it needs a bit more work. They are expensive for what they do. Which is pretty much nothing! It’s like a clear round plastic sticky bandaid for your coldsore.

    If it worked it would cover the sore so it wouldn’t spread, look less noticeable, help healing time and be less sore due to nothing rubbing or touching the sore. Sounds great right? I purchased this product not once but twice!!

    Always give a second chance I say. Lol well first off it’s really hard to apply perfectly on the sore or without touching it which weakens the stick. Once on it feels tight or forms a crease in the product. If your sore is more on your lip it will not stick due to the moisture so half will be on tight then the bottom starts flapping. Then you play with it to try and fix the non sticking part you end up loosening it more. Now it’s just hanging there so you have no choice but to take it off! You pull and it burns like hell and takes part of your coldsore with it! Now your bleeding and worse off then before.

    My next experience (the second chance) I decided maybe I will try putting it up higher on the sore so it’s not so much on the lip. This worked for almost a day. It started to loosen and flap again so I thought I would change it since it lasted for a few hours this time. It removed easier but underneath looked worse than before and bigger!
    I put another one on but it’s hard to avoid placing it on the lip since that is were cold sores form. Once again it was tight at the top with a crease and non sticking to the lip within 5 mins from the moisture. I peeled this one off in pain I tossed the rest in the garbage. It was the worse I seen yet and took much longer to heal then any of my past coldsores.

    My advice and opinion is do not use this product if you have a coldsore Or a lip!! Or maybe not even then!!!

    Amazing

    I've had cold sores all my life. Whenever I feel stressed, boom! They appear!

    So I've try basically every known product (and home remedy) there was to try.

    Not only do I love that these patches have Polysporin in them, but what I like most and for all, is that you don't feel your cold sores. Plus, its covered so you don't have to worry about it getting infected or spread.

    I always have some in my makeup bag and my pharmacy.

    Save your money

    If you get cold sores, I wouldn't purchase this honestly. The patches are massive, don't stay flush on your lip, and it makes the healing process longer and it peels and cracks the cold sorewhen you have to remove it. I get cold sores more ON my lip and near the corner so these don't work. And trust me, makeup does NOT go over the patch. It makes the patch stand out even more. Even when I trimmed the patch, when it was time to change it, it made me bleed.
    Not a fan and would not reccomend for cold sores at all.

    Use as soon as you feel the tingle

    I always have these in my medicine cabinet! I get stressed induced cold sores and every time I start to feel the tingle of a cold sore coming, I use the patches right away. I find it helps to slow everything down and it shortens the healing time.

    The only one that works!

    I often have cold sores, especially in winter & spring. This item is the only thing that actually works for me (and I tried the prescription creams with no success). I always have one package of these with me - just in case.
    What is also nice is that it covered the area so it's less visible. Wonderful product!

    I used this product on my husband. He developed a Cold sore on the side of his mouth early this winter. I bought the product and within 5 days the cold sore was healed.
