Cold Sore Patch Lysine Cold Sore Treatment for Lips, Lysine Lip Balm Alternative for Cold Sore Relief, Medicated Fever Blister Cold Sore Patch, L-lysine Cold Sore Treatment

I wore it after my cold sore crusted up and it helped it heal much quicker than usual. I used a Q-tip to make sure it had good adhesion since I am terrified about spreading this virus! The adhesion is on the loose side but I think it is intentional. If it was stronger it could irritate your cold sore and make it worse. I would wear mine until it naturally fall off then apply a new one. It did a wonderful job covering up the nasty crusty cold sore. Made it less embarrassing when I went out in public.

I was skeptical about buying these, but so glad I did. I tend to get cold sores if I'm out in the sun too long or get a sunburn on my face. These work great! They are easier to remove from packaging then others I have tried and they help heal the sores quicker! They also soothe and protect while offering some coverage, making sores less obvious. I will buy again when needed!

I wish I could give these 6 stars! I don't get cold sores often, but when I do, they're on the larger side and tend to last 10-14 days. I had that oh so familiar tingle start on a Monday, I used abreva because I had it on hand but decided to look at other options. I'm so glad I did! I got these patches delivered overnight and started used them Tuesday morning. I am writing this review Thursday evening ( only 2 days after using the patches and 3 days since initial cold sore started) the swelling has gone down so much since yesterday, even since just this morning it's gone down to almost unnoticeable. I added photos of how swollen it was yesterday and what it looks like today. The blister is there, but it's tiny, much smaller than what it would usually be. I am so happy I decided to try these and will definitely keep them in my house for future use. As far as how well they stick, I would clean around my sore with a qtip dipped in watered down dawn dish soap and then remove the soap with just cold water, completely pat dry the area and stick the patch on. The only issue I have is that because the patches are large, it did not stick to the inner part of my lip, otherwise they stay on great. Definitely cannot be hidden under makeup, but they aren't super noticable either.

I started using these on the third day of my break out. They're soothing and take the itching and pain away. The next day the blister had already started to scab over and by the 5th day started falling off. Now I just have a small reddish spot on my lip. I think they're worth the price and I think they'll work even better if I start using them as soon as I feel the familiar tingling and itching starting. My one complaint is the part that covers your lip starts to curl within an hour+ after applying. The part on your skin adheres very well. So well it's kind of hard to remove. When applying, I made sure my lip was dry but I think bc the blister was moist it made it curl. I recommend not drinking or getting you lips wet while wearing. Last night I applied one and since it's practically healed the dot stayed in place. I've tried all the creams, ointments and home remedies but I like these the best. They ease the discomfort, not messy and doesn't get in your mouth, and work quickly. I gave them 4 stars bc of the curling on the lip.

I have never used a patch for my cold sores but gave these a try. They work really well and I can see a huge difference in the healing after only 2 days. It took a few times putting them on to figure out what works.I'm older and have wrinkles around my mouth so that was a challenge, but I found that pushing my tongue under the sore while placing the patch really helps keep it in place. I also use sharp scissors to cut about 1/4 of the patch off so that it's not trying to stick onto the lower part of my lip that curls against my teeth. This has helped to prevent the patch from coming loose sooner than it needs to. I have used about 12 of them in 2 days, but a lot of that was because of the patch coming loose from the inside of the mouth moisture on my lip that loosened the bottom part of the patch. Since cutting away that part before application, they're staying in place a lot longer. I think this product is well worth it for this price. I've used creams that cost the same or more that don't work half as well, likely because the cream soaks in or rubs off so quickly. These patches soothe the pain and itch, locking in the medication and locking out everything else. I also find I am better able to leave the sore alone as before the patch I would find myself worrying the sore with my tongue and messing with the scab. I will definitely be keeping these on hand for the next breakout. 100% recommend trying these.

These were tricky to get out of the packaging and crumpled at the corners. Toward the end of my work day they were pealing off, not hanging loose just enough to feel a bit annoying and become more visible. Lots for a good price, so you can replace them, just don't really want to be doing that at work. I bought the Mederma ones from CVS before (for double the price of Amazon), and they worked much better. Easy application, and stayed on all day, all evening. Would get those again and not these cheaper ones. Not a paid review, just my experience for others

I got a cold sore overnight and bought these to help speed up the healing. My cold sore was past the tingling phase so I didn't expect much. After just one day my swelling went down. It never scabbed over and there was no scar once it was fully healed. This has never happens with creams/ointments. Best cold sore product I have ever used.

I'd give this zero stars if I could. I applied this patch as soon as I got a tingle and it must have been what the cold sore wanted because it got giant real fast. Huge blister. I kept wearing the patches and was going through 4 a day. They hardly stuck at all. I thought maybe my face was greasy but I washed my face really good each time then swabbed with 91% rubbing alcohol. It would stuck good for about 3 hours then start flapping in the wind. Don't even dream about eating or drinking with these patches on, just the sight of any food would cause it to start sliding. Don't talk either, as it would just readjust itself until it was no longer sticky. I used up all the patches pretty quick and ran to get my old cold sore shields at a store 40 minutes away. The Mederna cold sore shields work the best for me. Also, my whole mouth was so dried out by these patches that layers of skin came off my lips and my cold sore never got past the ulcer stage with these patches. It literally looked like a chemical burn. Then I started bleeding, and I use patches and shields because I'm on blood thinners and can't do the bleeding thing. The doctor advised against it. The Mederna shields always caused it the bubble, go down the next day, then ulcer for a couple of days, then straight to new skin. Never had a bleeding issue with those, nor the severe drying out. I may have had an allergy to it, not sure. But these, definitely not for me.
