    Only Thing That Works For Me

    I am REALLY prone to getting cold sores - when I have a cold, when I'm in the sun, when my lips get too dry, when I'm stressed, when my hormones fluctuate - you name it, it gives me a cold sore.

    I've tried both pill and cream prescriptions, and unfortunately neither work for me. This stuff is the only treatment I've found that has any positive effect on treating my cold sores.

    I apply at the first sign of tingly/itchy lip, and that usually stops the cold sore from coming. During high-stress times or when I'm sick, I apply a thin layer every night as a preventive measure, let it dry fully, and then put a non-petroleum/non-peppermint lip balm on my lips to keep them moisturized overnight. This usually works to prevent a cold sore, but if it doesn't, I'm diligent about applying the ointment every hour to my cold sore - keep it clean, apply the ointment, keep it dry until it starts healing (sometimes within hours, sometimes it takes up to a day).

    I am miserable when I get cold sores - please keep making this!!!

    Might work for others, but not me -- in fact it made it much more noticeable -- I had it mostly under control with Lysine (you must use l-lysine at the very, very first tingle, with ice) but I was having stomach problems, so I didn't digest the Lysine properly and it started and no one noticed it until after I started using this stuff.
    (Note, I'm not an MD -- just a Ph.d. in the humanities -- but try taking a ton of lysine at the very first tingle)

    I have tried all of the medications for cold sores and found Releev to be the best. Aleve is also good, but I found, left red marks that took a long time to go away. With Releev, the cold sores dried up with very little to no scabbing. The Camphor medicines are good as prevention, but don't work as well as Releev and Aleve once the cold sore has formed. Given the discomfort and embarrassment of cold sores, I would recommend Releev and say it's worth the price.

    Comments about Releev 1-Day Cold Sore Symptom Treatment, .2 oz:

    I've been suffering from cold sores for over 12 years. It would get so bad that my worst infection ran down to my chin. I looked like I had a bad gash from the corner of my mouth to my chin. Until now the best product I could find was Veractin, which helped stop the spread of the infection and shorten the healing time, but never stopped the sore from appearing.
    At 3 times the cost of Viractin, I almost put this product back on the shelf. To my relief (ha-ha-ha), it works great. 9 out of 10 times, the sore never even appears if I apply it when I feel the tingle. When it does appear, it's a very small bump and I only have a very small scab that's gone within 3 days.
    Obviously the reviews are mixed, I guess like they say, "results may vary" But for those of us that it helps, it's a real life saver. I'll buy 2 vials at a time, one for work and one for home.

    I bought this product praying it did what it said. I was disappointed. I had a tingle and applied the medicine, and my cold sore still grew.
    It dried it out a little, but still took its normal course. I had a feeling it was to good to be true.

    I had 15 fever blisters on my face; I bought this Releev, and the next day it looked better, but not like the pics on their box. I feel it does work but not right away; it will work over a period of time like two weeks. It should clear up; this is not a one day treatment.

    I was a skeptic at first, it seemed a bit pricey and "too good to be true". I used it after having a cold sore for 4 days, and the results were amazing! Within the first application I could feel a difference. By the second day, the sore wasn't cracking or painful. I did use it more than the directions stated. I will not be without this stuff!!

    I expected big things from this product, given that it's the priciest, but I was disappointed. I don't know how they can claim 1-day treatment, because I couldn't tell a difference at all, and I applied it regularly throughout the day, and at the first sign of the sore. My cold sore still lasted a week, which is typical for me. Don't waste your money on this one!

    I have suffered from cold sores since I was a child. I have tried everything. I was skeptical about this product. I will admit that in one day I had still had a scab, but the swelling and blisters were gone. In one day it cleared up the out break. It cut my healing time down to 3 days. Not bad when it usually takes over a week.

    I bought this product, and as you already know it is not cheap. I started using it the morning I felt the cold sore come on. It did help the first time I used it by taking away the burning and itching for about 5 minutes. I used it as directed and the cold sore still lasted for 5-6 days. I do not understand the "1 day cold sore treatment" that is on the package. What does it do in one day?

    Releev is the best cold sore medication I have ever tried! My occasional cold sore outbreaks normally last about a week. I recently tried Releev, and the cold sore was gone the next day. Amazing stuff!
