I have tried so many things to include prescription meds, and these patches work the best so far. They stop the swelling, pain, and unsightliness. One thing I noticed that people should take care of is it change the patch every 1-2 hours depending on how much the sore is oozing. Otherwise, they aren’t going to stick or work very well in terms of keeping the spread down. I used this on a cold sore under my nose just before the blister stage. 2 days later and the sore is completely dried up with zero tenderness or scarring. These are way better than using hydrocolloid patches as they come off easily and you don’t risk breaking a scab when you remove them.

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.

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 love these patches. They really help relieve the pain! I have small kids and they always have their hands and face always all in my face, so the bandages give me some peace of mind in case the kids touch a cold sore. It helps me feel cleaner. I think they even help shorten the time of a breakout. I slap one on as soon as I even feel a tingle and sometimes I think it helps them not get bigger.
