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.

    I tried this product on a couple of occasions and it did not heal the cold sore at all for me. It just kinda made my lip soggy.

    These are a god send for anyone who suffers from cold sores. Not only do they speed the healing process but they render your cold sore almost invisible. I always keep a package on hand for the moment I can feel the "tingle" of a cold sore.

    I get horrible cold sores during the winter. To find something that actually works is really hard.

    I gave this product a go with fingers crossed and wishing it to help. Unfortunately it did nothing. The concept was good, the execution just wasn't there.

    I wouldn't recommend this product.

    Hi, so I have been getting cold sores since I was a little girl, about 5 or 6. Most likely I got it from another kid in school or from a family member. When I was younger I obviously didn't care about it as much, but now its like the end of the world! Its hard to go out and talk to people when you have a massive "zit" like thing on your face!!! Its embarrassing and so uncomfortable. Not only does it look gross, it is also very painful.

    Two nights ago before bed I felt a cold sore coming on, but I seemed to be too late becuase the bubble was already appearing. I used 100% natural tea tree oil, as I did in the past, to hopefully make it go away by morning. Ofcourse when I woke up in the morning nothing helped and I had a massive cold sore on my upper lip. I have tried so many things for cold sores such as ice, ginger, and even garlic!!! I decided to give the patches another try, because in the past it seemed to work. It helped with my healing time and made it a little more comfortable to talk and laugh even in public.

    Today I purchased another pack of the patches, and even though they are super expesiive I am also hoping that it is as effective as the last time. Right now I have a massive outbreak of 3 cold sores on my upper lip and I have applied 3 patches!!!! Thats nuts!!! At the moment it is throbbing, but I think that is a good thing! I think it is healing quicker even though it is VERY visible. I would not recommend putting any make up over it until u see the little bubbles start to disappear. If you use make up on it, the makeup can actually make the patch not as "stick-able" and can get under the patch and make your cold sore even worse!!!! So please, for your sake dont cover it up, unless you HAVE to!! The patches do not make your cold sore less visible unless the bubbles are gone and you get at it fast enough before it surfaces.

    I really hope the product is effective as the last time!!!!

    I started using the patch on day 2 of my cold sore and I have not seen any improvement what so ever instead I think it got worse. I regret spending my money on this. I only like the fact that I am able to put lipstick over it to cover the horendous POS on my lip.

    The patches work well to soothe the cold sore and keep it from becoming an unsightly flare up. It is visible when worn and edges roll up easily. I find I am unable to wear to work because it does not stay put.

    Best cold sore product on the market! I'm not even exaggerating, this stuff works wonders for Cold sores! You can stick the patch on your cold sore, and apply make up right over top without bothering your cold sore! It doesnt even look like you ever had one! Would definitely recommend!

    With all the advertising I was hoping that the product would work a little quicker. However, the product does soothe the burning of a coldsore.
