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.

    Best cold sore product I have purchased. Very effective. Healed within a few days not in a few weeks. Will be recommending this to everyone. Will be purchasing this again.

    Having kids who constantly get cold sores, I needed something that they couldn't just lick off plus something that covered the sore so they didn't spread it. The patch is amazing I put it and and my kids completely forget it's even there. The healing time is amazing. This is the only cold sore medication I will ever us.

    The patch covers well, but didn't stay in place as well as I'd hoped. The cold sore was partially on my lip so the patch ended just at the inside of my lip and the moisture made it unstick faster than expected, so i used more than i should have.
    It did cover/mask the cold sore well and helped contain it.
    I didn't notice a difference in the healing time however.
    But over a good protective product.

    Expensive, but for the amount of times I get cold sores in a year, it's worth it. It works so well

    Love how easy this product is to use. Clean, no mess, no fuss. Works great, just like I expected a Polysporin product would. Quite effective, A little bulky to wear out, felt that it was very noticable.

    Just used this and it worked! Also helps because it covers the sore so nothing gets in it while it heals

    This is a lovely product for cold sore anywhere else but where I get mine -- right in the corner of my mouth! The patch doesn't stick as well there and it's not as invisible as it would be elsewhere but it still does the trick. Just don't try to eat while you've got it on. For my spot, I think Abreva is better, but only because of the awkward location.

    I'd keep purchasing this for my husband, who gets his in the middle of his lips. He tends to forget to keep reapplying the Abreva so this is perfect for him!

    Definitely pricey, so wait for it to go on sale. I'm in Toronto, Canada and I just bought it on sale for $19.99 at Rexall. Abreva is just as pricey though.

    I get so many cold sores every year it's ridiculous. I've tried everything on the market. This does what it's supposed to its not super amazing I've found products that does the same job.
