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.

    Targeted action

    This is a good treatment for cold sores. it targets the effect and doesn't get easily removed like the lotion/balms of other brands.
    helps cure the cold sore faster, especially if you put it on at start of the symptoms.

    This was an ok product

    I get the occasional cold sore. I tried the patch thinking it would help clear it fast. The patch was okay but wasn’t what I expected, I thought it was going to help more

    Better than expected

    I am a person whom frequently gets cold sores. My mind was blown to find out this patch was available. I'll start with the con, it was extremely difficult to apply- the patch wouldnt easily remove from its packaging causing It to stretch. This was the only con.

    Finally

    Finally a product that works I have struggled with cold sores all my life I have tried creams, oils and oral meds but nothing worked really well but none of them allowed you to cover the ghastly site!! This product does not instantly get rid of the cold sore but it does helps it heal faster and best of all hides it!!!

    Argh!

    I get so embarrassed when I get a cold sore! These made the healing process go so much quicker. And it took away that nasty tingling feeling that we all know about. I keep these in my purse just in case

    Worked like a charm

    Had a cold sore and used one of these babies and it was gone in no time. I usually struggle to get rid of cold sores need to go get a prescription from the doctor, but with this I didn’t need to!

    Easy to use

    These are little round sticker patches that you put on cold sores. Easy to apply but one drawback is they don't last long and soon start to peel around the edge. This makes the product noticeable to others so you have to replace it. They work well but are costly. I would love to see a lower price as often times I've had to buy 2 or 3 packs for one cold sore episode. But they work well.

    Not bad but not great

    I get cold sores when the winter , cold days start and I have tried just about every product out there to prevent them when I can feel one appearing . This said all the right things in the packaging but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype . I found it tricky to apply and looked very noticeable when on. I couldn’t have went out in public with it on.

    The go to for picture day

    I had a cold sore on a day I needed to get some professional photos done. My makeup was not covering the sore as effectively on its on because it was peeling and scanning over. I put the patch on before applying my makeup and it was like both the patch and sore were gone

    Not very effective

    I have tried these a couple times. They did not stop the cold sore from spreading(even when put on at the first sign) and it didn't reduce healing time. And they did not stick very well.
