Abreva Docosanol 10% Cream Pump

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.

Abreva is truly the best for cold sores.

A lifesaver for cold sores. You need to be consistent and it is always best to start when symptoms start to arise. This definitely minimizes the effects.

I’ve been a fan of this product for years. So convenient that I can get this delivered to my door. It’s always worked for me - cold sores can be painful but if you use Abreva you can avoid that. It’s always my #1choice.

It cures my sore lips

Clearly, I’ve never used this properly on my cold sores. I’ve tried it numerous times in the past but only applied it to cold sores that had already gotten dry and started cracking. I get them in the same spot on the corner of my mouth, and they HURT. As soon as I felt that little “twinge” of discomfort, like I felt one coming on, I started using Abreva. I hate that so much comes out in one pump, because I really only need about 1/4 of that amount. But, I’ve put it on 5 times a day for 2 days and the cold sore never developed into a bigger sore! It’s a small red area but not nearly as bad as they usually get. This cream also seems to help numb the area a bit, and relieve pain. I highly recommend using this at the first sign of a cold sore, and use it as directed (5 times a day). Thanks for reading l! I hope this was helpful. 😉

Best thing to help with cold sore. Even my doctor recommended it!

It works very well. I've been using this item for a while. In the stores, it's a little on the expensive side, but it works in a couple of days.
