Great product works for this unsightly and uncomfortable sore. Definitely recommend it if you don't have a script for something stronger.

I just got my first cold sore(s) ever and didn't know what it was or how to treat it until it was already too late to do much about it other than wait it out. However, I bought the Polysporin Cold sore healing patch in the hopes of it healing them up quicker. It's hard for me to say if they helped or not because my sores were already pretty bad by the time I used it. It seemed to be pulling out the infection though. I think it works more effectively if you use it at the first signs of a cold sore. I will probably try it again the next time I get one if I catch it soon enough.
Plus side; when I bought it, it was on sale at Zehrs for $14.99.

The Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch works like a sticker to cover up the cold sore. It is easy to apply and often lasts longer than the 8 hours noted on the product. I have tried it previously on a cold sore in the middle of my bottom lip and the corner of my lips. The patch lasted much longer and was more comfortable when it was in the middle of the lip versus the corner. I probably would not plan on using a patch instead of a cream for a cold sore towards the corner of my lips in future occasions, although these are less frequent in my case. I also like that the Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patches have a long expiry date and are individually sealed so they are good to keep on hand for future cold sores. The price is similar to Abreva. Overall, I would recommend this product.

I frequently get coldsores in the winter months or when I am stressed. My lips have very thin skin so I am prone to getting coldsores. I find the Polysporin cold sore patches work great! The earlier you can apply one, the quicker the healing. I love how the patch completely covers the coldsore & surrounding area to prevent it from spreading. It also covers much nicer than using a cream or ointment that stands out against your lips. The Polysporin cold sore patch is virtually invisible. I usually wear it during the day and remove it at night to allow my lips to breathe. Followed by several peroxide applications to help speed up the healing time.

I find I get cold sores when I am sick or if it is cold and my lips get too dry!
When I feel it about to come on I am always on it right away as I hate when it gets to the scabby stage!( so embarrassing! )
So once a cold sore happens your ready to try anything. I found polysporin healing patch I was excited to try it as polysporin has always worked wonders in the past!
This is one product that worked well and I will continue to use it when I need to!

I have been using a competitors OTC product for my entire adult life living with these cold sores and I was sure there would be no way to ever look like I didn't have a cold sore, while having an outbreak. Enter Polysporin Cold Sore Healing patches! Bam! Feel that tell-tale tingle coming? See the little bumps? Grab one of these little patches, slip it on top of the offending spot and voila! You can sneak a little makeup on top and around it, carefully and with a light touch, and you'll be able to almost forget that you're having an outbreak at all. No messy creams, no crusty scabs, just on with the day.

Polysporin products are my first choice for any infection. If it doesn't work, then I go to my Dr. I haven't tried the Cold Sore Patch but I would like to and anticipate great results based on previous efficacy of Polysporin products!

this is an amazing product and is a definite must have.

My family members, friends and I have found this wonderful and absolute necessity to treat cold sores effectively. We love Polysporin when we have any cuts or scrapes we turn to this trusted brand! These perfect size patches are ah-ma-zing! It's not a slip and slide cream or gel or any other products on the market. They sit well on top of the cold sore and blending the cold sore in so that it isn't noticeable. Another pro is that the patch takes away the pain and speeds up the healing process. #love #PolysporinTips

Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch is great for providing instant relief from the terrible pain of a cold sore.
Works great. It not only removes the pain and itching from the cold sore, another good thing is that it prevents the sold sore from weeping (when the liquid from the cold sore touches another part of your lip you can get another cold sore so this is great at preventing more from forming) and i feel like my family more protected from getting one, when my cold sore completely covered with patch. Pricey product, but I found it to be well worth the money.
