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.

    I liked the fact that you could apply lipstick over top of the patch and it blended quite nicely. The price is way too expensive and I wouldn't have bought it with out a coupon.

    I always break out with cold sores all the time! No matter if I am sick, or stressed, I seem to always break out in one and it SUCKS! I have tried every single cream out there and nothing worked as quickly as these Cold Sore Healing patches. I recommend these to everyone!

    Great product. Finally there is something to conceal the 'ugly' phase of the cold sore. As for the reported problems with covering it further with makeup, just don't. It's virtually invisible on your skin and you simply don't need to.

    I have struggled with cold sores my entire life, its frustrating. I can sometimes go months without them and then I will get 4 or so in a row. I have found these patches work wonders, but only if you modify the instructions a little bit..
    First, I never put them on while the sore is still a blister like the instructions recommend. I think the sore needs to breathe too much at this point and covering it just makes it spread or become more irritated. Instead I use Zilacton when I first feel the tingling and while its a blister (Zilacton kills the blister fast, it only takes a day or so)

    Then I use the patch, but only while I'm out during the day. I take it off at night so that it can breathe similar to wearing a bandaid. I also use less of them this way and its more cost efficient.

    They clear up to a tiny mark in 3 days doing this without the painful cracking. The patch can be totally invisible on the skin, and it hides the mark really well. There isn't any need to wear make on top the patch hides the sore so well.
    Removing them has never been an issue for me, I just make kissy faces while gently pulling the skin around it taught, and it always seems to just lift right off painlessly for me. No bleeding lips like I have read..

    My only gripe is, on occasion I stretch one side of the patch while applying and it appears wrinkled on my skin and they are too expensive to remove without using.

    I love how it hides the cold sore so well when applied. It 's almost invisible. takes about 3 days to go away. pretty effective, does it's job. i would give it a higher rating if it was not as pricey.

    Polysporin patch is so unobtrusive that we forget that we have one on the lip .But the best of plolysporin is that makes us forget our cold sore by it efficacy.

    I like this product, it really help cover a cold sore, when its broken and is hurting really bad, however i find the price is very high. Its not something I have to have, but defiantly really like.
