Abreva 10 Percent Docosanol Cold Sore Treatment, Treats Your Fever Blister in 2.5 Days - 0.07 oz Tube x 2

I suddenly developed cheilitis for the first time during the seasonal weather change, and it was rough. My lips were extremely dry, itchy, and even had small fluid-filled blisters—so yes, it was painful. After asking around and doing some research, I kept hearing about this product—so I gave it a try. whenever I applied this, it felt cooling with a slight sting, and the itchiness calmed down a lot. For 12 days straight(See photos), I applied a thin layer 4–5 times a day: after brushing my teeth in the morning, after lunch, after dinner, and right before bed. Now it's almost completely healed, and whenever I feel that familiar itch coming back—usually when I'm tired—I put a tiny bit on and it settles right down. The tube is very small, but you barely need any per use, so it seems like it will last a good while. It doesn’t work instantly, but the steady improvement is undeniable. I definitely recommend it.

Always go with Abreva for Cold Sore Treatment. Works quickly and pricing is definitely better than buying in the drug store.

Keep in mind, this is strictly for pain relief and also to relieve the dryness and stiffness aspect of cold sores. Basically when your lip or area around it is feeling super stiff and chapped, it will make the skin supple again. It'll also relieve any tingles or burning. But the actual Abreva cold sore treatment (Docosanol Cream) is what works to actually treat/get rid of the sores themselves. So you need both. I usually place a thin layer of this stuff first, followed by the Abreva cream, allow it to dry (about 30 to 45 minutes) then add a couple cold sore patches to the treated areas to further protect while it heals. I also do red light treatments once in the mornings and once in the evenings, 5 minutes at a time each time. If you wanted to, you could also use just this and then the cold sore patches too. It depends on how effective it is for you. The patches themselves have healing formula in them too. So if you don't like the cream, that is an option. I've found that using the cream plus the patches worked better for me, tho. Ultimately you have to find what works for you. But this tube is specifically for pain relief only, it will not actually treat the sores, so you will need a second form of medicine, whether prescribed or over the counter, to treat the problem itself. So it works well for what it was meant for. Hopefully after this episode, won't need it again for a long time. This was my first episode after nearly 2yrs of not having any. It sucked, but I got through it. Good luck!

Abreva has been my go-to cold sore treatment for years, and it truly works. As soon as I feel that familiar tingling, I apply it, and it noticeably shortens both the healing time and the severity of the cold sore. The 10% docosanol formula starts working quickly, helping stop the blister from getting worse and speeding up recovery. I like that it goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and isn’t overly noticeable once applied. When used early, it really can heal a fever blister in just a few days, just like it claims. This is one of those products I always keep on hand because it actually delivers results when you need them most.

The only thing that is better is by prescription.

This product may be effective but to have a dab to use for 2 or 3 days is not cost effective. It was a shock to see how tiny the tube was and that it cost almost $30. I will use another brand. So disappointed! Had I investigated what .07 ounces looks like, I would not have ordered it. My astonishment was based on how expensive a tiny tube cost. Outrageous! Save money. Buy another brand.

fast shipping, good value, expensive but works good

Good product.

It was promised to remove the cold sore in 2.5 days which didn’t happen even 2 weeks

Stellar product. Nothing comes even close. Suppress the outbreak on day 1, dry it out in next 2 days and completely get rid of it in a week
