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.

    This is a great product! Over the years I have tried every product and crazy old wives tale ideas out there. This will be my go-to product from now on. It worked quickly to heal my cold sore in no time. It also kept it covered and protected and hidden. I found that it really helped to stop me from touching and picking at it, which is what really slows healing for me. I found they lifted off a bit at times, but for the most part they stayed on well regardless of what I was doing. They are a bit pricey, though they can be found on sale. Despite the price, they are worth every penny as they are very effective.

    It works really well! The sides of my mouth split open from time to time and I use these to cover them so they don't rip open worse. I can apply makeup over them instead of trying to pack makeup into an open wound and making matters worse and looking like total crap. Must buy!

    I am one of those people who without fail get a cold sore a mininimun 5-6 times per year, especially at the change of the season. I can say I've tried everything. I know how annoying and frustrating it is getting one and they totally ruin my week. I've tried every trick from perfume, to Vaseline, to Abreva, and every other medication out there. My last attempt was the Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch. I loved it! When I put it on I really felt like I was hiding it, but at the same time it was working its magic to heal my cold sore. It didn't make me feel self conscious that my cold sore was oozing on my lip. It really cut down the healing time too because I wasn't constantly picking at it since it was covered. This has really helped me deal with getting these annoying cold sores at the worst possible time.

    I wish the patch came in a smaller size, I have cut patch in half and used it but could see the edge, so a smaller size would be nice. Other than that I recommend the patch, covers cold sore and you kinda forget about it for the day!

    These are very effective, truly reducing the time it takes to get rid of a cold sore, but can be tricky to keep in place. I found that by making sure the skin was very dry prior to applying they stayed in place better. Compared to any other treatments, my cold sore disappeared about a week earlier, so worth it to me.

    There is nothing worse to see first thing in the morning than a big swelling blister on my lip that hurts, and looks cringeworthy to others, as well as myself. The dreaded cold sore always pops up on important days - job interview, parties, weddings,passport photo day, etc, and before the Polysporin patch, you either walked around in a veil, kept your hand in front of your mouth or cancelled your life until it disappeared. I was skeptical but had to try this, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The patch is easy to apply, and while not quite as invisible as it seems to be on television, it does tone down the appearance of big cold sores, and can almost hide completely smaller and newer sores. The bonus is of course the medication that speeds up the drying and healing. The earlier you get the patch on, the more quickly it will disappear. For all fellow sufferers, I highly recommend this patch, worth every penny you pay, and I should know as I use them once a month!

    Purchased polysporin cold sore healing patch , couple of months ago. Blisters started to show around my lips and nose, making it look really awful. But when i started to use this product the swelling and redness started to go down, making it look "less ugly on my face" . It also prevented it from scabbing, really loved this product. It healed and hid my cold sores, really well. Loved this product and will reuse again in the future.

    I had seen an ad on TV for Polysporin Cold Sore Healing patch and thought what a great idea. Jump ahead a few weeks and I get a sore on my top lip and have to work in the retail food sales that day. Remembering the TV ad I went straight to my local Rexall pharmacy and asked if they had this product. They did not. I then went to Pharmasave and they did have this product. Oh happy day. I love my local Pharmasave. I quite happily paid the cashier, opened the packeging and popped the pad over my sore I worked a full 8 hour shift with a lunch break and 2 coffee breaks and didn't have to replace the patch. It was discreet, it tingled, it soothed, Hell It worked!. I have a pack in my purse and a pack in my bathroom. Amazing! worked like magic!. and I swear, healing time was cut in half. Exactly what I have come to expect from Polysporin brand products.
