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 am so glad I decided to try this. It honestly works at containing and healing the cold sore. I don't feel as bothered by it while the patch is on, it's almost like it helps with the ucky itchy sensation I get. I never feel a cold sore coming on, so as soon as I see it, I immediately apply this patch and there is a noticeable difference in healing time.

    I really like this product because I'm prone to cold sores and they drive me nuts! It isn't messy because it's a small patch and is pretty invisible which is handy. However I had a hard time getting it in a good position and to stay on comfortably. However once it was on it worked pretty well.

    I really liked this product because there's nothing more annoying than a cold sore, I feel that it works really well to speed up the process of getting rid of it. I find the patch a little awkward to wear out in public, if put on correctly you can make it so that the patch is fairly undetectable but sometimes it is noticeable. However I do believe that this patch is more appealing looking than a noticeable cold sore.

    I love this stuff!!!! I break out with a cold sore right by the corner of my mouth about 2-3 times a year. I had a cold sore breakout for Christmas. I put a patch on and it was barley noticeable. I was even able to put on a liquid lipstick on my lips and over the patch and you couldn't even tell I had a patch on... Or even a cold sore!

    I've been using this product for my last 2 cold sores and it has worked really great. My cold sores are healing substantially faster than they do on their own or with a product like abreva. They stay contained and do not grow past the barrier of the patch. While I think it's a great product, it is pricey and the patches never last 8 hours for me, but that's likely because of the area where my cold sores are. I usually use 7 patches a day because they peel off due to stretching of the skin when eating, drinking and laughing. My only question is can a patch be used on an area like the corner of your lips where it may lightly come in contact with the inside of your mouth, but only slightly? Overall, great product that works wonders for me.

    It does work and I'd buy it again but it was a bit difficult to put on without wrinkles.

    I loved this product. The patches were easy to apply. They were fairy inconspicuous and you could apply lipstick or balms over top of them. They worked wonderfully and helped cold sore to heal much quicker than without treatment, and helped to prevent scarring. The price is a bit steep, but since the product works so well, that can be overlooked.

    I liked the product because it covered my cold sore, and cut down on healing time. I found the patch winkled easily and shifted. For the price you don't want to go through a few a day.

    I love to use these when I have to work with a breakout. It camoflagues and keeps ppl from noticing your breakout right away. It also keeps it from getting hard and crusty, which is painful. Pricey at $18 CA but worth it for coverage. I try to buy on sale and have on hand when needed.
