Compeed Hydrocolloid Cold Sore Treatment Patches (15 Invisible Plasters for Cold Sores) - 12 Hours Protection from Water, Bacteria & Viruses - Discreet, Easy to Apply Patches with Patch Applicator

It did the work perfectly

A bit pricey, but does the job. Greate product for covering up cold sores to prevent contaminition.

Product came but absolutely nothing inside. Only the piece of card to show it has not had its seal broken, but no product. complete waste of money

Only good if you don't need to leave the house, after a few hours it turns into a white bubble, your not meant to take it off, leave it for 12 hours to fall off, but I need to take it off and it just ripped my whole skin and lip and made my sore 3x times bigger and more painful

Very helpful! Keeps me from messing with it, and helps when the the pain some. Works well under makeup too.

Good. It heals the wound in a week's time

Incredibly effective and long-lasting! I rarely get cold sores, so I was thrilled to find out these patches have a fantastic 3-year shelf life before they expire. That gives me such peace of mind! They do an amazing job of keeping bacteria out, protecting the area, and helping it heal incredibly fast. They are worth every penny and work like magic !

These patches are a godsend! I've noticed that my cold sores heal a bit more quickly and easily when I use the patches, and now choose them over using acyclovir cream. Having the cold sore covered also gives me huge peace of mind, as the patch provides an extra layer of protection in terms of preventing the spreading of the cold sores to other parts of my lip- or passing this horrible virus on to others. I find that the patches stay put quite well, although if I'm eating a meal or drinking frequently they tend to come loose. But when I'm just eating a small snack like a biscuit or something, and just taking small sips of a drink, they stay on pretty well. On the downside they can be fiddly to apply, and I have wasted many patches over the years due to applications going wrong! And even though they're quite discreet I wouldn't say they're invisible- but then neither is a blob of cream on your lip! At the end of the day there's no perfect formula for managing and getting rid of cold sores- but this is one of the better methods in my opinion. Overall I'd recommend this product to anyone suffering from cold sores. The patches have been a game-changer for me and made outbreaks slightly shorter and more bearable. I also think they're good value for money.

Works well

I would have given it 5 star if I had received the new version of the patch with the new applicator. I ordered two boxes (from Metropharma shipped by Amazon) and one was the new applicator and one was the old version (expiring in 9 months). The old version is horrible - it’s so hard to put on, the sticker stretches so much that once it’s glued it rolls back very quickly. Waste of money! The new version works super well and it’s easy to put on. The course of the blister is still about a week but at least you’re not suffering during that week! It’s quite well explained in the instruction booklet in a diagram. The sticker stays put for even longer than 12 hours. I would highly recommend the new version, but maybe not guaranteed from this seller.
