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

I've used this since I was a child, and it works excellently. There's not very much in the container, but you only need a small amount, so I find that it typically expires before I can get through the whole thing. It's definitely worth the price, and gets rid of cold sores about as quickly as you could hope for.

It better in a few days

Abreast works quickly to heal cold sores on you lips. Stops the burning and itching that accompanied cold sores. Works in as little as 3 days to reduce swelling, etc.

Works really fast by the next day you’ll see results

I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but Abreva honestly deserves 5 stars. If you deal with cold sores, you know how frustrating and uncomfortable they can be—and this stuff works. The key is applying it as soon as you feel that first tingle. Don’t wait for the blister to appear. I caught mine early and it barely even surfaced. It healed in just a couple of days, and it never got painful or crusty like they usually do. The pump is super convenient—more sanitary than the little tubes, and easy to toss in a bag or pocket. A few tips to get the best results: Apply at the very first sign (tingle, itch, tightness)—it makes a huge difference. Use a clean finger or cotton swab to apply—don’t double dip! Reapply throughout the day, even if it seems like it’s gone. Consistency helps it heal faster. It’s pricey for the size, but you really only need a tiny amount each time. Cold sores are never fun, but this makes them way more manageable. I keep one of these on hand at all times now—totally worth the investment. Notes: Make sure it is made in Germany, not India. There are many fake ones out there. Beware: Do NOT buy many at once. These have short expiration dates.
