DocoShield Lip Balm w/Docosanol (3-Pack)

Ok being honest I purchased this because it had good ratings but I really didn’t look at the reviews. I was seeking a lip balm that my FSA covered. However this is a freaking gem. It’s thick and really helps keep the lips moisturized. I even ordered more still not knowing it helps with cold sores. I just realized today that it helps with cold sores too. I don’t even get cold sores but guess what? I’ll keep on ordering this product because it’s just that good.

Had to use it for the first time today and it stopped the sore from developing further than a hint of an outline. Never happened to me with any one cream/medicine. I’m super impressed.As a bonus, it smells really pleasant, but not an annoying lingering smell.

Makes my lips dry, but no cold sores since I have been using this.

Great product and I will buy again

Def worth every penny. Had cold sores for the whole summer and it wasn’t stopping for any medication until I took a chance on this.Suggest using Q-tip till the cold sore goes away completely, and then you can start applying directly. Remember cold sores leak so you never want to rub the tube on your lip directly, otherwise every time you apply it you’ll be rubbing the previous infected juice still on the tube back on your lip-reinfecting yourself. Gross and unhelpful which is the opposite of what you want.Scrape with Q-tip and slowly rub into cold sore, do not use your fingers! Not worth the risk of genital herpes; me and my doctor both agree on that.This comes with 3 lip balms so it’s def cheaper than most medication and quite frankly 100% better than Abreva, acyclovir, releev, lysine+, orajel, Herpecin L, and any other product I have tried and can’t bother to remember.It won’t be gone in a day but you’ll see results fast and the cold sore will be 80% better in 3 days which will boost your confidence. Only those who really stare at your lip will notice and even then they might not even think it’s a cold sore cause it’s diminished so well. The rest of the 20%, for me atleast took A full week and even then I kept using Q-tips for another week just to make sure nothing else popped off and then I started using it directly on my lip. Ever since then I haven’t had one single outbreak.I keep it near just Incase I feel a tingle, rub extra on and nothing ever happens to my lips. I’m a happy girl.This is awesome. Definitely recommend.I use this and Herp Rescue pills. One to help my immune system and fight inside my body (Herp Rescue pills) and the other to help outside on contact and to prevent outbreak (Doco Lip Balm)I’m so glad I took a chance on this. Not really sure where that one bad review came from because this has been a life safer. One less thing to worry about in my life.God knows we can all use that, which is why I’m sharing my experience and hopefully you’ll take a chance on this too and it can give you the freedom of knowing you’ve gained some control of your life back. Cause I for one am not planning on having my Wedding Day ruined by a cold sore. I don’t even want it ruined on a normal Saturday night let alone my big day. And now I never have to worry about that. They got a customer for life.

first I must say, if you're considering buying these then you probably know the unpleasant life of cold sores. these "chapsticks" have literally changed the game for me - I've not had an outbreak since switching. They feel like a regular chapstick but with a tiny hint of the numbing sensation you would get from applying abreva, which I appreciate because I can feel it working. I keep them all around (one in my purse, nightstand, in the living room) because you know how important it is to apply as soon as you feel the warmth/tingle coming, so the pack of 3 is great for that. I never feel weird about whipping out this doco chapstick in public because anyone would think it's a regular balm and it's so much easier than doing a dollop of the white cream. I can't explain how grateful I am to have found these and no longer have to carry abreva on me all the time, cold sore free since 2023 let's goooo

I love this lip balm. I hardly get cold sores anymore. I use it at night.

This product really works! I love it and would use it every day to prevent cold sores and relieve them when they begin. But have bought it both with Lysine and without—except for one pack the tubes don’t work properly. Once I turned the tubes enough to raise the balm it was impossible to lower the balm down again. Hence the cover tended to get stuck on the product and created a mess. If not for this problem it would give it 5 stars and a perfect review. It’s much less messy than Abreva and if you take Lysine as a supplement you can get the Doco without Lysine which is cheaper. The balm has hardly any scent and no unpleasant taste. If only the tubes worked properly I would be very happy!
