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.

    Did not work for me

    I found that it was to large for me, it was hard to get on in the correct spot and when I did, it would peel up around the edges and look terrible. Because it wouldn't stay in place it was hard to know how effective it was.

    Don't Bother!

    I would not recommend using this product, especially if you have sensitive skin! I tried this product and was so disappointed. My cold sore pretty much doubled in size and I needed to go to a walk in clinic because it had become infected. I suppose if you have sensitive skin, this isn't the right product for you!

    doesnt work

    Honestly I'm a heavy consumer ill buy anything and everything but I just feel frustrated when things don't work at all and this is one of those products. I wasn't expecting a miracle but it just didn't work for me. its easy to apply and feels ok but it does not work.

    I bought these because of the price, and I think I got what I paid for, in theory these are great! however in practicality I found them very difficult to apply, and would make my lip very itchy underneath, also they do not stay on my lip very easily and would always be moving or falling half off.

    I found these did absolutley nothing for me and in my opinion this is no different than taking a piece of scotch tape and placing it over a cold sore.

    I bought this as I am prone to cold sores and need antibiotics for it but got a cold sore on a Sunday when the Pharmacy was closed. Saw the commercial and like usual looked too good to be true and it was. The thing barely stays on and does absolutely nothing but cause more pain by sticking to the cold sore and your lip. Not worth it from my point of view.

    The patches are not as easy to apply as they make it out to be.. Attach one side and pull up on the other to attached, each time it streatches the patch. Finnaly attached it after detaching both sides and placing it on. The following morning one section had curled up while I was a sleep requiring me to remove it and replace it.
    It also does not completely hide the coldsore unless you are a makeup wearer, which I am not however it does dim down so that it is not as noticable. I love the idea and hope that they work properly next time I need them and if they do, I will be more then happy to update or replace this review.

    I've tried these a few times now I wish they lived up to there claims . They never stick down right and always just look like I stuck tape to my face. Maybe it's just my mouth is small or the location I need it to be put but in any case these just don't work for me

    I did like the idea of these patches and I got really excited to use them. However they aren't as functional as they seem- I found the patches ended up tearing any scab or dry skin off my lip proving to be very painful. Not a fan

    I was going to a wedding and had a cold sore...I thought I'd give this a try....I was not impressed! It was not staying in place at all. I thought I could wear gloss over it to help conceal the patch but it made it worse.
