A cold sore, also known as fever blister, is a small, painful blister that appears on or around the lips. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). HSV-1 is a very common virus that is spread through close contact, such as kissing. Once you have the virus, it can stay in your body for the rest of your life if you don’t treat it well.

Our new and powerful Cold Sore Relief Cream works by suppressing the growth of the herpes simplex virus. The cream should be applied to the affected area as soon as you notice the first signs of a cold sore, such as tingling or itching. It will help shorten the duration of the cold sore outbreak by stopping the virus from multiplying and spreading.

If you have a severe cold sore or if your cold sores are frequent, we will recommend you combine the cream with Lysine supplement. Taking Lysine supplements will help reduce the frequency and/or severity of the cold sore outbreaks.

HOW TO USE

1. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

2. Apply the cream to the affected area as soon as you notice the first signs of a cold sore.

3. Apply the cream several times a day, as directed on the package.

4. Do not share the cream with anyone else.

SUPPLEMENTS FOR COLD SORES

There are a few supplements that may help to prevent or shorten the duration of cold sores. These include:
