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.

    Have used polysporin for my cold sores in the past and still have it in my medicine cabinet at all times. Have tried others in the past but for the last few years have boughten only polysporin. It works much better than the others, and it feels more medicinal. Easy enough to use and no burning sensation.

    It can be used to cover/hide your cold sore but I dont find healing part to be very effective.

    I just have a cold sore :(....I hate it...it's taking so long to heal. I went in store and as soon as I saw the Polysporin I was sold to it...I always have close a tube....So after I use this....what I can say ...you stitch this and a lot easier, I could kiss my kids and not be afraid to pass it on them...you should know it's hard to not kiss them, I could eat and drink a lot easier and also is less visible. Once I use it, I felt no more pain and burning....and it didn't grow so big as usual. I use it in the night also and I forgot that I had the cold sore, no more pain....but after 6 or 7 hours, the pain starts again...it's time to change it.
    What I didn't love so much, by the end, when is like an open wound...is scary to take out the patch and it could hurt a little bit.
    But in the end is definitely better then another solutions, like a cream.

    I've tried these from the first time I ever had a cold sore despite the fact that other people recommended another product. I went with my gut. Polysporin is usually great on cuts so I told myself let's give it a try.. totally worth it. I paid a little more than I would have liked but now I don't even hesitate. First there the obvious benefit of the patch creating a barrier that contains that little (or big) sore. Even esthetically it's just so much more discreet then having it out there. I mean... its not invisible... but a cold sore with some sort of cream on it is even worse so. Effectiveness is very polypsporin quality. My cold sore was gone in about 5 days which is significant because I've seen several people with cold sores up to 10 days. Plus with the fact it shields it's less of a self concious 5 days and I'm not worried about it spreading to other areas of my face or lips. And you can still eat and drink and it's stays on. For all these great qualities I recommend these patches
    I always have a pack in my purse just in case. :)

    This product worked well. I like the fact that this poduct is made by polysporin as I use other products from this company. I did find it a little pricy but worth the money. I would recommed this product to my friends, family and coworkers.

    I like that it covers up the cold sore, but I don't find it any more effective than other products.
