    I'm 56 and I've been getting cold sores since I was a kid. My last outbreak was 2 weeks ago and was particularly bad. As soon as I felt it starting I used Zovirax (an anti-viral prescription drug) for a few days and it didn't help. Then I switched to Abreva. It just got worse and actually spread into a few more small cold sores. In desperation I bought HerpecinL and got immediate relief. It really soothed the sores and helped my lips which were very dry and cracked by this time from all the meds. Within a few days the cold sores were gone. I've been using it every day and night since and my lips have never been softer or in better shape re not being chapped in the winter time. I'll never be without it. And ps - the white is easily covered by lipgloss or lipstick. But even using it alone it absorbs into the lips pretty quickly and the white color disappears.

    For many, many years I have used Herpecin L. I just recently bought two new tubes of it. I have had fever blisters for as long as I can remember, but since I found the Herpecin L I haven't had one at all. At the first tingle that tells me that one is coming, I start using it, and it never breaks out. This time, it DID NOT work. It broke out and now as broken open and has become a typical fever blister, with oozing and pain. I compared the ingredients in an old tube and a new tube, and find that they are completely different. Why would you take a product that works every time and change to ingredients that don't work at all? Please put back the Padimate O and the Allantoin. I don't think I'll be using this product any longer.

    Nice; very emollient; soothing; I'm not sure how effective it is for preventing cold sores, as I still get them from time to time. Very healing for severely chapped, cracked lips.

          Hubby & I have used for 20 years now both for chapped lips & cold sores. KEY: At the first tingling of a cold sore, apply several times and 99% out of 100% sore will be stopped in its tracks. Never fails.

                Comments about Herpecin-L Lip Balm Stick, SPF 30, .1 oz:

                I bought this hoping to prevent cold sores. So far it has been effective (5 months or so). I can't use it too much (more than 4 times a day) because my lips need some regular blistex. It does have an interesting taste. It isn't bad or good, just different.

                I'm all about cold sore prevention so I recommend the convenience of this product.

                  I am prone to cold sores. As soon as I feel a little tingle I quickly cover the spot with Herpecin-L. It does the trick and almost all the time the cold sore does not come. I used to get cold sores several times a year. Now It's almost never because of this product.
