Polysporin® Cold Sore Healing Patch Reviews
#1 in Remedies

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.

    No a Win

    I tried these that found that they really didn’t stay on very well and we’re really quite expensive to purchase. I will stick with my natural supplement of lysine which works very well for me. I’ll give these a pass.

    je ne le recommande pas

    En plus d'être inefficace, ce produit n'est pas discret du tout et on ne peut pas le mettre dans les coins de bouche où les feux sauvages se retrouvent souvent. Utiliser un produit en crème ou gel.

    Don't waste your money...

    Just get a prescription or even Abreva in a pinch, but don't bother with this. Any moisture at all has this little sticker sliding off - I never had one stay in place more than an hour. Besides, I think it makes a coldsore even more noticeable.

    Never again!

    I tried this product hoping it could cover the sore and not have to worry about it at least for a few hours. Once I put it on, it irritated the cold sore, became pain full and the the sore became 5 times its size. This was a VERY painful experience. Would never try again.

    Doesn't quite match the hype

    Used this product. Has some pros, has some cons. Wanted to try it so I shelled out the cash. Value yeah I guess. Pros: fantastic at hiding/camouflaging a cold sore/fever blister as long as your lips are BONE DRY; does it actually speed up healing? Individual opinions will vary. Personally I didn't find that to be the case.
    Cons: can't lick your lips, wear lipstick, gloss, chapstick , drink or eat without constantly replacing. Your choice.

    Just use lysine tablets w topical cream

    I've gotten cold sores throughout my life to varying degrees. They used to dominate my life until I started using lysine tablets which lessened their frequency almost entirely - which is to say that I no longer get them nearly as bad. I got a small one on my lip and tried this product as the drug store was out of abreva. Instead of 'hiding' the sore I found it just kind of made a 'look at this' bullseye around it. And at $25/pack I felt my money go down the drain immediately as I found I wasted at least 2 patches in the process of trying to apply them, the applicator is impractical and difficult to use. I believe the only reason the sore has diminished quickly is bc of my lysine use. No short cut around cold sores that I know of, other than that. This product is just aggravating - I never post product reviews and felt the need to about this one out of frustration.

    Felt ridiculous

    So this product isn't too noticeable but it is still visible. I found it hid cold sores pretty well but did not help eliminate them. Even if used as soon as the tingling started it didn't make much or any difference. If anything it showed up quicker. Can't honestly recommend.

    Not impressed

    I suffer from cold sores alot. I bought these hoping for some quicker healing. I didn't find that these worked that great. I didn't think they stuck very well and slid around. They were not very comfortable.

    Not worth it

    So not worth it. I'm not one who gets cold sores but that one time it did nothing. I rechecked the instructions to make sure. Over priced for the non work it does. Also not recommended for more sensitive skins risks or rash

    Didn’t like this at all!

    This product either didn’t stay on long enough, or it caused tearing when I tried to take it off. I also didn’t find it very discrete, and it wasn’t very effective at slowing down or preventing the spread of the cold sore. There are better topical treatments out there, or better yet, get a prescription for Valtrex and save your money.
