"I woke up with a cold sore one morning that was already visibly swollen. I tried this product for the first time, after using Abreva in the past, and was amazed when the entire sore was practically invisible by the afternoon. Swelling was gone, and the sore was well on its way to being fully healed.



After using this I realized how poorly Abreva works in comparison, and would highly recommend this product instead."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I have suffered from cold sores since my late teens, and this product is a miracle worker! You put it on as soon as you feel that "tingle" and the cold sore never develops! NOTHING works like this does. I would just like to repeat what everyone else has said, "WHY can we not find this in the stores anymore?" They need a major advertising campaign on this product."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I am SO glad I found this. I cannot find it in the stores any more. I have probably tried every possible product out there for cold sores and this is the ONLY one that works for me. The minute I feel a cold sore beginning to form, I apply this and I haven't had an actual cold sore break out since I found this product several years ago."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Wow! I bought this awhile back after reading so many positive reviews. Well, on Friday I started to feel that "tingle" but forgot I purchased this, so just rubbed some Lysine lip balm on my lips. Saturday I woke up with a swollen lip and a big red cold sore! UGH! Then I remembered I had this product. I iced my lip a few times during the day, and in between I applied Ziactin to my lip. Well, today is Sunday, my lip is no longer swollen, and the cold sore is barely even noticeable! If it weren't for this product I know I would be dreading work tomorrow knowing how embarrassing it would be to walk around with an ugly cold sore. Not anymore! This stuff is incredible!!!!!!"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
