I did some research to help a friend out since she kept complaining and I was annoyed. Got this for her even though she never wanted to use anything for her cold sores, but she finally tried it and loved it. Helped the blister heal faster and reduced the discomfort, and now she keeps one on hand just in case

I purchase this for my teen and they say it helps to use the minute they feel a cold sore is about to happen, it helps alleviate the symptoms quicker. Just wish they made a bigger version for purchase.
Abreva does shorten the healing time and if you do use at the first tingle, it can stop it altogether.
A repeat purchase. Very good product. It’s a docosanol 10% cream and is best used at first sight or sensation of a cold sore. Can be used up to 5 times a day and works effectively to arrest the cold sore from developing. Cream is white when first applied but becomes clear after it’s been absorbed. It’s also fragrance-free.
I avoid medcated things. but this one really helped when lysine and otehrs didn't
Great quality product with clean ingredients and good value for money. I noticed positive results after consistent use. Fast delivery and secure packaging. Would repurchase!
amazing!!! works fast! as soon as I feel a tingle I apply it and it usually goes away within a day or two
I get stress-induced cold sores, and Abreva is the only thing that actually shortens the healing time for me. I apply it at the very first tingle, and it seriously keeps the blister from becoming a huge, painful mess. The tube is tiny, but a little goes such a long way that it still lasts through a few outbreaks. It's definitely pricey for the size, but it's absolutely worth it to avoid a week of misery.
This is the best coldsore cream i have ever tried. No scent, no annoying taste or smell. Whenever I feel a coldsore is forming, I use it immediately. Earlier is the better to start and it heals coldsore extremely quickly. I have to admit it is pricy with considering the size you get. But it works like a charm.
Purchased this item for my mother-in-law, she says it worked well and decreased the time it takes her to usually heal.
