Not the product for me

I am prone to coldsores and thought I would try this instead of my usual type but I found it did not help me in the way I wanted it to. For the cost I was not impressed with how it worked for me. Would not get again.

Disappointed

I read some reviews online before purchasing it and some people have said it covers really well and you can even put makeup over the patch. It was very noticeable and I felt ridiculous wearing it. It also just made the cold sore more infected.

Good cold sore product!

I got my first cold sore a couple of week ago, which was... scary I guess for lack of better word. I quickly went to the store to get Abreva, but I realized that there's actually a lot more cold sore "relief" products out there.. including these Polysporin cold sore healing packs. I found that these were okay, I used them when I was going out and wanted to hide my cold sore and prevent other people getting contaminated. I found that putting this product on was a little challenging, one side would look great but the other side would always wrinkle. I can't say if it worked or not cause I used other products but they are a great alternative to just using creams and feeling gross having the cold sore just hanging out. I would buy these again when I have another cold sore.

Not a fan

Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch was a bit of adisappountment. It didn't stay put and was visible despite all efforts to camouflage it. For the price and the effort it did not heal my cold sore any quicker then any other product or hide it.

A flop

I frequently get cold sores through the winter. I've tried many products over the years and was excited to try the Polysporin cold sore patch. I have used many Polysporin products in the past that were great. I wasn't so lucky this time around.

Not for me.

I didn’t find this product helped at all. It didn’t help with hiding my cold sore and if anything made me more aware of it. For the price there are better, more effective products.

Un peu cher pour ce que ce produit apporte

Durant ma jeunesse, j'avais environ un feu sauvage par année. Je finissais toujours par y toucher et faire tomber la gale. Toutefois, ce qui est bien avec polysporin, c'est que le timbre empêche que je touche directement à la lésion et ainsi je diminuais le risque de propagation. Côté esthétique, je ne sais pas si mon feu sauvage paraissait plus avec le timbre qui se décollait parfois à moitié ou sans. J'ai aussi tenté de mettre du rouge à lèvre sur le timbre, mais la différence de couleur entre le timbre et mes lèvres demeurait quand même assez visible. Bref, peut-être utile pour réduire la contagion, mais je ne trouve pas que la durée de l'épisode a été raccourcie par le timbre. J'ai l'impression que n'importe quel autre pansement transparent (opsite, tegaderm, etc.) aurait été aussi efficace et moins cher!

These are ok

My little boy have a blood disorder that causes him to have a lot of cold sores. they are very painful and we have tried many creams for relief. I am not sure though it helped. It did cover it but invisible would be better

This product works well

This product works fairly well but even better when combined with a ointment as well it dries the sore out faster than without using anything. I would recommend this product for smaller cold sores

Cold sore patch

I do like this product it does have some pros and cons it is wonderful for covering up the coldsore blister as well as speeding up healing but when the patch comes off it leaves the blister irritated
