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.

    Not my favorite

    I personally didn’t like this product. Yes you can apply it on and somehow try to “make the cold less visible “ however I think it only makes it worse, as it doesn’t allow it to dry out. I won’t purchase it again.

    This works like a champ to tame my Coldspring. I put it on before bed though as it isn't as invisible as claimed. The only downfall I find is that it hurts like a son to remove! Recommended to me by a friend!

    It works but not as well as expected

    I have purchased a few times and it works but not as well as expected. Depending on the location it doesn’t adhere well and also isn’t really as fast acting. That said it’s just as good as any other other similar products.

    Never again

    This concept of a product is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the actual functionality and result are horrible! These just made my cold sore bigger and took longer to heal. I found the contagious liquid of my cold sore just got trapped or became so much that the patch would come off. Never again. My experience was one of nothing but more disappointment than the healing I needed.

    Made sore worse.

    This product did not work for me. I found that it only made it worse and held all the contagious fluid inside the sticker which resulted in a larger cold score. It's a nice idea but sadly did not work. At least in my occasion.

    It's much better than nothing!

    It definitely puts a dent in any new cold sore that pops up. If you don't put it on at the exact right time it will be most a lost cause. If I manage to catch it at the right time I have found that it halts new growth of the infection.

    Awesome product!

    I’ve had cold sores since I was a little girl. This product not only helps with the healing process quite quickly, but it also covers the way it looks! Pretty resistant to food/drink. Definitely my go to product when im in need

    Nope not for me

    These are quite pricy and I e had no luck with them. I’m able to feel the cold sore coming on and I’ve used it without effect. They are nicely camouflaged to the skin but not effective at all.

    Not my cup of tea

    I suffer from cold sores quite frequently and like many people - I try to hide it and get rid of them as fast as possible. I saw commercials and read reviews that these patches were a life saver - they just didn’t work for me :(. Maybe they will work better for someone else!
