Cold Sore Patches – Improved Hold & Updated Formula – Large 15 mm Ultra-Thin Hydrocolloid Lip Covers with Lysine, Honey, Zinc & Lemon Balm – 24 Count

These work great. The only negative is the packaging -- it's kinda difficult to get the sheet of patches out of and then back into the ziplocked packaging.

I had probably the worst break out I've ever had and found these so decided to try them out. The delivery was as always fast! I feel like it helped with the healing immensely I wouldn't be at this healing point without it normally. People did complain about adhesion but it's suppose to fall off. Mine lasted almost all day but it did start to secrete out of the side I think it was part of the healing process. Either way I will definitely use next time.

I decided to give these patches a go after Compeed stopped carrying theirs, and I’d say they’re pretty decent. PROS: these are much bigger than any other cold sore patch I’ve used, and they’re priced much cheaper too. They’re great at helping your cold sore to heal faster, and they’re much more sheer compared to the other patches this brand has. CONS: The packaging is much different from Compeed’s or Mederma’s, it actually reminds me a lot more of acne patches. So there’s no touch-free way to handle the patches, which is a little annoying, but not too awful. Now when it comes to the stickiness and adhesive of these patches, I’d say that’s where you might run into difficulties. These things are absolutely not going to stick if you have to tiniest bit of moisture or oil on your lips. So to get them to stick, I started applying rubbing alcohol to the area my cold sore is and the outer area where I want to the patch to stick. After doing that, they stick perfectly.

Love this product, heals my cold sore fast, and protects

I tend to mess with my cold sore when it's exposed and it easily gets infected and takes forever to heal. I like these cold sore patches since they will cover the cold sore to help keep it clean and not get infected so that it will heal faster and the lemon balm will help with the swelling and pain. These cold sore patches are also large enough so the coverage will be much better.

Cold sores usually occur around the lip area and these are completely useless since they don’t stay stuck on if the smallest amount of moisture comes in contact with your mouth. You can’t drink water or use any lip balm whatsoever with these. I threw them away. Stick with the Mederma patches.

price and quantity is great, quality not so much. I feel the adhesive is strong, but a little too strong? I think it might use hot melt adhesive because it doesn't do great with sweat and saliva but will tug at the skin at removal. There's better out there TBH.
