We’ve added Hyaluronic Acid to these patches to ensure your skin stays hydrated while it heals. Most patches just cover the area, but ours create a moist environment that prevents the painful cracking and scabbing often seen in the later stages. This means you can manage your outbreak without the discomfort of a dry or crusty sore. Plus, the soothing formula helps to reduce irritation from the moment you apply it.

These patches also act as a physical barrier to prevent the virus from spreading to other parts of your body or to other people. They’re ultra-thin and transparent, so they sit almost invisibly on your lip. You can even apply lipstick or makeup directly over the patch if you want to feel more confident throughout your day. Also, they stay in place for up to 12 hours to give you non-stop protection without the need for constant reapplying.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Wash your hands and ensure the affected area is clean and completely dry. Avoid using creams or oils beforehand, as they can prevent the patch from adhering properly. Remove the patch from its protective paper. Carefully peel o one half of the support film, taking care not to touch the adhesive surface. Apply the exposed side of the patch directly onto the cold sore, then gently remove the remaining support film so the patch adheres fully. It is recommended to use the patches until the area is completely healed. Each patch is designed for single use only. Lipstick may be applied over the patch if desired.
