CompeedHydrocolloid 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

The best cold sore patches I’ve found. Easy to apply and almost invisible when on. They do not easily come off - i.e. when they get wet when I drink like other brands do

I am absolutely ordering these again! I started using them as soon as I felt the tingling and they work really well. It took me a few attempts to get the hang of it but once you figure out how to apply them it’s really easy. The tingling started on Tuesday morning so I applied the patch (first picture is with the patch on) and the second picture was taken today (two days after). It’s already healing and the sore is really small.They are discreet but they do start peeling off after a few hours and it gets a bit annoying. Still a lot better than the alternative! So happy to have finally found something that works!

Very impressed with these. Coldsore was completely gone in 4 days . Easy to apply and remove and unlike cream they work for 12hrs. And you can apply make-up over them so cannot be seen.

I've always suffered from cold sores and I find that cream makes them spread on my lips. Leaving the cold sores alone seemed to work best for faster healing but accidents can happen and the scab can easily be knocked off.Discreet and MakeupTherefore, the reason why I loved this product so much is that it protects the cold sore to allow it to heal. They are also quite discreet and I managed to get the confidence to wear them in public and even a job interview. I also used old lipgloss over the patches. The only issue I noticed with makeup on the patches is that they make them a bit soggy and need replaces more frequently.DurabilityI found that eating/drinking can make the patches hang off your lip - which means they need replacing more often. However, I kinda figured out a way to work around changing the patches.If you stick them properly they last a long time.ApplicationIt took me a while to figure out how to apply the patches with the applicator. make sure your lips arent wet and use the plastic of the applicator to gently press on the patch. Always wash your hands before and after applying.IssueMy only issue with this product is that they are very sticky - which shouldn't be a bad thing but if you apply a cold sore patch wrong, or if you need to take it off before it starts peeling away naturally, it can hurt to take the patches off and can irritate the scab on the lip. I found I had a bit of bleeding.Try to avoid removing the patches prematurely. I just had no choice because I wanted to wear fresh patches in public as they aren't as noticeable as ones that have been worn for hours.I wish the middle part of the patch wasn't sticky and just round the edge but oh well.OverallI'm not sure if these speed up the process of healing but they deffo protect them and make me feel more confident. I always felt lost when I wasn't wearing them when I had my cold sores. I do recommend and will use these for the rest of my life.

The only thing that works on cold sores. 1 patch will last a whole day for me. Simple and easy to use and the most hygienic way.

Ive suffered with coldsores for as long as I can remember and have tried both patches and creams.Lets me just start by saying, these do what they say. They provide a more healthy environment for the sore to heal. They are discreet enough to give you some confidence to want to show your face but they arent invisible. These have been very good for me, as I have a newborn baby and these patches act as an extra safety measure on top of hand washing.Despite other reviewers saying that they are hard to apply or that they don't stick, I didn't find this to be true. They were easy to apply and usually stayed in place until I peeled them off to change them basically after 10-12 hours.However...As this is a patch, it hurts to take off and your lip will feel very strange and uncomfortable when you do peel it off - this might just be my experience however as they were not coming off on their own. If they have already started to peel then I imagine you may not feel as much pain.On top of that, I found that the patches did very little to actually ease the symptoms. Still alot of itching and burning.This is a good product but it more or less took the same amount of time to heal the sore as it would have if I had used a cream. The biggest advantages are having the sore covered to reduce spreading and that it makes it looks a lot less unsightly.

These worked really well. Would definitely buy them again.

I honestly am truly shocked by how well these work! I've had cold sores my whole life and they usually linger for a good week! Using cream! These have made my huge cold sores disappear pretty much within a day! They stick amazing, just make sure your lip and surrounding area is dry! I wish I'd discovered these a long time a go!
