Would not recommend
It’s like a sticker that gets loose easily if or when you talk, eat or drink & it pulls your sore when removed, which for me, made it worse. It’s also expensive for what it is. Would not recommend. I won’t be buying it again.
I would not buy again
I purchased this the last time I had a cold sore and I followed the instructions to a tee and did not find this helped at all. My cold sore remained for at least a week.
Just won't stick
Bought these for my 11 year old boy as he keeps getting cold sores. They're hard to even unstick from the backing paper/plastic but once you apply them they fall off the moment he moves his mouth. I suppose if the cold sores were elsewhere, I might have a different experience but as it is, we've tried them on 5 different occasion and none have stayed on more than an hour. We're sticking with creams.
Nope
Nothing beats zoverax. Its not any products fault; just doesn't have the same pharmaceutical ingredients. Cold sore creams are a gimmick and if you have the herpes virus just deal with it and try not to spread the virus
I would purchase again
A great product for us clumsy people that tend to hurt herself regularly the fast healing and the convenience are just bonuses I I would purchase products again and will continue to
Not for me
Unfortunately for me this product didn’t work. It hurt a lot to take it off, and when it would come off it would pull skin and create a scab or make the problem worse.
Will never buy again
I have tried this product more than once and everytime the patch just peels off and does not speed up healing of my cold sores. I was not happy with this product and did not find it effective. There are much better cold sore products out there.
Second Chance!
For those of you who suffer from cold sores like I do know the itch, pain, discomfort and embarrassment they bring.
This product intentions are good I think it needs a bit more work. They are expensive for what they do. Which is pretty much nothing! It’s like a clear round plastic sticky bandaid for your coldsore.
If it worked it would cover the sore so it wouldn’t spread, look less noticeable, help healing time and be less sore due to nothing rubbing or touching the sore. Sounds great right? I purchased this product not once but twice!!
Always give a second chance I say. Lol well first off it’s really hard to apply perfectly on the sore or without touching it which weakens the stick. Once on it feels tight or forms a crease in the product. If your sore is more on your lip it will not stick due to the moisture so half will be on tight then the bottom starts flapping. Then you play with it to try and fix the non sticking part you end up loosening it more. Now it’s just hanging there so you have no choice but to take it off! You pull and it burns like hell and takes part of your coldsore with it! Now your bleeding and worse off then before.
My next experience (the second chance) I decided maybe I will try putting it up higher on the sore so it’s not so much on the lip. This worked for almost a day. It started to loosen and flap again so I thought I would change it since it lasted for a few hours this time. It removed easier but underneath looked worse than before and bigger!
I put another one on but it’s hard to avoid placing it on the lip since that is were cold sores form. Once again it was tight at the top with a crease and non sticking to the lip within 5 mins from the moisture. I peeled this one off in pain I tossed the rest in the garbage. It was the worse I seen yet and took much longer to heal then any of my past coldsores.
My advice and opinion is do not use this product if you have a coldsore Or a lip!! Or maybe not even then!!!
Terrible product
I bought these when I had a cold sore. They were awful! The sticky part stuck to my cold sore it hurt and it doesn't sit properly. When I went to remove it it took part of my lip. Worst experience ever.
Does not stay stuck to skin as the mouth is where saliva is
I really wanted to like this product. It seemed like it could have been a great solution. However, because it is applied at the mouth saliva causes for it to not stick so well. Half of it will not stay stuck while the other half is very much stuck. Anyone with a cold sore knows how embarrassing they are in the first place and that when you have weird plastic looking skin hanging off them they become even more embarrassing. Removing this product from your skin means you have to rip the cold sore off your face. This product is terrible.
