Rated 4 out of 5 by Colinpop from Very Effective at Banishing Cold Sores! Found this cold sore treatment very effective BUT it must be applied at the first indication of a cold sore coming ie. itchiness or sore/sensitive lips and then reapplied every few hours. A tad expensive but very effective at banishing those unsightly, painful cold sores if used early. It worked for me and would definitely buy it again, preferably when it's on special!.
