“I can only qualify my experience. I believe I am experiencing fewer episodes, but what I do perceive is a very large effect on emerging blisters. From the moment I apply the lip balm, the blisters stop growing in size and rapidly begin to shrink. Within days my lip recovers, without any breaking of the skin and all the viral shedding (the weeping gross part). I used to always get several blisters at once, now I suffer just one. I can continue to eat. This has been better than taking antiviral medication for my symptoms and at far lower risk. I have now ordered some for my mother. I live in the Netherlands and wish this product was available here. I have worded this reference carefully as my area is health research, which is why I am skeptical of all products. This has beaten everything I have tried. I will update this with my mothers feedback.”
“I have just reordered this. I was getting constant cold sores once every 2 weeks which were really painful and lasted 10 days. Since using this product I have had one very small one in 4 months that healed over in a couple of days. I use this everyday and wouldn’t be without it. I’m goi g to try the gel this time too. Would recommend if your getting a lot of cold sores and other products don’t help.”
“I have been using this product for around 10 years now and I haven't been a day without it. I used to suffer once a month with a coldsore until i found this amazing lip balm. It has saved me from so many attacks and now i probably only suffer twice a year on average. I make sure i apply the balm whenever i can and before I go to sleep without fail. I keep one in my handbag, gym bag, in the car and by the side of my bed so I am never without it. Drfinate 5 star from me!!”
“I was starting to get quite a large cold sore on my lip which disappeared about 12 hours after applying this cream (applied it continuously and quite thickly). I was very pleasantly surprised as they usually last quite a considerable time on me. Its very soothing and softening also. Feels soo good!”
“I have now been using this for about 6 years and think it’s amazing. I use it every night when I go to bed just as a precaution and it keeps the cold sores away. Also it’s excellent value for money as even though I use it every day 1 tin of this lasts a year. I honestly can’t praise it enough I love it.”
“I have suffered from cold sores for 40+ years now. Nothing has worked to date. I ordered my first batch of the balm and gel back in the later part of October 2018. My order arrived just as a cold sore had started, unfortunately neither the gel nor the balm stopped it, but reduced its intensity immediately, I was impressed.
Since that day, I use the balm every day, night, etc. Unfortunately now I’ve had an extremely bad outbreak of sores due to being really ill. The gel has kept the sores from being really painful and the balm has kept my lips feeling really soft and not dry as they normally would be. I am so impressed with these products, even though they are a little expensive. I would recommend both products to anyone that experiences problems with cold sores. I am just about to reorder my next batch, to stay prepared for the rest of winter!”
“Our daughter attest to the validity of the product. Limits the cold sores outbreak and the timeline for healing. Beats lysine, abreva, and campho. Wish could find in the USA but happy she found the Skinshop. Finally something that works!”
“I bought this lip balm as I had tried everything for my dry, painful and split lips. I used this product for a short time and my problem, that I had had for nearly 1 year, started to show an improvement. I kept using the balm and my lips healed. Nothing had worked before, but this product was one of my best buys. My dry and split lips has never returned.”
