I hate cold sores. I HATE them. I hate them with such unbridled fury and passion that if I were to be judged at the time of my death, and the subject of my blistering hatred came up(no pun intended), Heaven wouldn't want me, and Hell would just plain fear me. But after so many years of putting up with this plague, there is a solution. I usually get fever sores(cold sores) about 8-10 times a year. Usually every 2 months, I get a new outbreak around my lips. It could be a minor outbreak, with a simple little bump on the upper or lower lip, or a grotesque outbreak cluster of about 4-7 sores at once. Usually, these sores last 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer. The day I discovered Abreva, that all changed. As it states, Abreva cuts down the duration of cold sores quite dramatically. If you manage to detect a cold sore as it just begins to form (usually indicated by a burning or tingling sensation on the lip area), application of Abreva will possibly event prevent the outbreak entirely. Upon a breakout of sores, I find that consistent application cuts the duration of sores from 1-2 weeks to a mere 1-3 days! Don't beleive the utterly ridiculous accusations that Abreva is a placebo...this stuff works, and it works well. Aside from cutting down the duration of the sore, Abreva also releives any burning and itching you may get from them, so after a while you may not even realize that they're there. The cream is comfortable, and it doesn't sting, burn or itch after application. Though the white cream leaves a film after application, if you rub it in strongly the film disappears. Though the box recommends 4 applications a day, I usually double that to 8, and up to 10 times a day for those particularly brutal outbreaks. There are some disadvantages to Abreva, and perhaps the greatest of all: the price! Amazon.com, bless them, has this item listed at 13.99...try finding Abreva at that price anywhere else and you're in for a shocker...it usually goes for $18 on average, and we're talking a VERY small tube here. Don't let the size of the box fool you, the actual tube is less than half the size of my pinky finger! So in short, the cream is a marvel, but the price is simply outrageous. If you are plagued with cold sores on a routine basis, then its worth the price. If not, then I can't justify spending $18 on Abreva if you only get cold sores once in a blue moon. But like I said, thank you Amazon for the much cheaper price! Another disadvantage is that the tube tends to leak. Upon opening the tube for the first time, the cream tends to stat pushing itself out. When you open the tube for next use, you may find that alot of the cream has been squished into the cap, and that more of it will push out immediately upon the cap being removed. This leads to a lot of waste of the product. Another disadvantage is that the cream is virtually ineffective at treating cold sores that appear on the underside of the lip closer to the inside of your mouth, mainly because you'll end up inadvertantly licking the cream off or it will get washed away by your saliva. Finally, the cream dries your lips up quite alot...I would recommend using chapstick to moisturize your lips while using Abreva, because they will become very dry and chapped with continued usage. Overall, Abreva is one of the greatest things to happen to us cold sore slaves ever. Herpicin-L is utterly useless, Campophenique does little more than burn, dry out and taste awful, and chapstick only exacerbates the sore. Abreva is the way to go. If you can justify shelling out the cash for Abreva, then by all means, do it. Those of us that get multiple outbreaks a year will love it. Others who rarely get them needn't apply, unless the breakout is particularly brutal.

Abreva is the OG, Everyone knows it’s very expensive for such a small tube, but it is really worth it since it is so effective, especially if you apply the Abreva directly to your lip as soon as you begin to feel that tingling sensation that only people with cold sores would understand. If you apply the Abreva to the spot on your lip before you even begin to see the cold sore coming in you will not have in developed and show it’s unsightly appearance. based off of the tingling feeling you felt you have a good chance of preventing the cold sore from ever showing on your lip. It really is the best when you’re able to prevent a cold sore from ever even showing its unsightly and embarrassing blister. However, if you were not able to prevent it just by using the Abreva as directed, it will definitely get rid of your cold sore as fast as possible. Now having said all that I don’t Think it would be fair for me to say that only Abreva works and none of the aftermarket cheaper brands work when you need it or when it’s your only option. In my experience, I only tried one other aftermarket brand years ago, and it was only three or four dollars cheaper than Reba and the consistency of the cream was more like a Vaseline type of ointment. I played it too late so I did not prevent my cold sore However, it did ultimately do its job as it got rid of it fairly quickly, but not as quickly as Abreva would

We all know this stuff cuts down the healing time. But what I have recently figured out what is causing my cold sores... it's from too much sugar. Halloween... cold sore, Valentines Day... cold sore, Easter, yup... cold sore. Unfortunately I love candy and I've been dealing with these damn cold sores for most of my adult life. I have been avoiding candy/sweets in binge quantities, especially during all the holidays, and I haven't gotten any cold sores the past 6 months! Halloween is right around the corner so wish me luck! Not saying you have the same cause but give it a try.

If you carefully select this product to match the EXACT formulation of the "original" brand name product, you will get a product that works on cold sores. Beware there are similar products promoted that DO NOT match the original ingredients which will probably not be as effective. Careful product selection is required to get the best value that actually works.

Abreva has been effective at treating my cold-sores; for an over-the-counter solution. Prescriptions are cheaper, and do better, but, for an over-the-counter solution, this cream is very good at shortening the lifespan of my cold sores; if I catch them early enough. The price is pretty outrageous, though. The tube itself is very tiny, and, even though the dosage is also small, this tube doesn't last very long. If you're applying this as directed, then these costs will rack up very rapidly for something that turns a 14 day recovery time into a 12 day recovery time. It's great as a solution, but its price and its efficacy are not parallel.

The price is worth it!! My cold sores used to last a week or more, but now that I use this stuff they’re gone in two to three days. You only need to apply a tiny bit a few times a day so don’t let the tiny tube size fool you, it’ll last. It’s very worth it.

If you apply it as soon as you start feeling a tingle in your lip Abreva is amazing. The cold sore will not develop and it will save you the embarrassment, pain and wound for a week. I always make sure I have some with me.
