There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I started getting cold sores in 2004, just after my first child was born. Since then I've tried every product and supposed remedy out there.
Nothing worked for me at all until I discovered L-Lysine tablets. When taken at the first tingle, L-Lysine could always beat down a cold sore. But then, the L-Lysine seemed to start to lose it's effectiveness- did my cold sore virus get stronger, or does L-Lysine simply become less effective the older we get? I also noticed, I don't get the tingle anymore- the cold sore virus got way sneakier and most times just feels like a little tiny sore spot, barely noticeable.
I was at the start of a cold sore attack and the L-Lysine was tampering it down a bit but it still was coming on strong when I came to Amazon in desperation. After reading the reviews for Releev I decided to give it a try. I got the order two days later and immediately began applying it, and it had an affect after just half a day's use. I could notice my cold sore hurting less, and the swelling came down. While my cold sore attack was already underway, I still think that Releev shortened it to about 5 days, instead of two weeks.
I've had two instances where I thought I may be getting a cold sore, so I started applying Releev both times, and it never develops! IT'S WONDERFUL! My teen told me about a funny tingling bump and I immediately had her start using Releev, and it never developed into anything! I can't tell you how thankful I am that my teen didn't have to deal with a nasty cold sore!
I do still take the L-Lysine but now I pair it with Releev. I keep it in the refrigerator as a previous reviewer recommended, and I'm sure to shake it really well each time, because it does sit for quite a while in-between uses (thankfully).
I can't recommend this product enough- at the first question of whether or not it's a cold sore, start applying it! IT WORKS!!
what it does-
I will tell you how it works meaning what it does at least for me and cold sores on my lip.
Untreated- When I get a cold sore it (stage 1) starts as a tiny little bump that gets more painful and bigger as time goes on. Finally it sort of scabs and (stage 2) bursts into a bloody circle some days later. After this, it will (stage 3) not scab up or dry up for a long time so you spend a few days walking around with blood on your face. If you try chapstick or lip gloss any time after stage 1 in the process it makes your skin softer and worsens the problem as the bursting happens a lot easier and sooner as well as over a larger area.
Treated- put this Releev stuff on a couple of times at stage 1 and it will try to dry up the bump making it sort of tough and crusty (it will dry the rest of your lip too). The bump will not be scabbed but be tough...and crusty...sort of....dried out I guess you could say. People will think you have chapped lips, which is pretty good compared to the alternative. Depending on the size of the bump you may get slight scabbing over time. The action happening underneath has trouble breaking through the tough outer lip surface, minimizing or preventing stage 2 and 3. You can use a small amount of lip gloss to keep the dryness at bay if you cannot help yourself and it seems to not be that detrimental (there is a "herp stop" type of gloss that I recently got seems ok). If you get a scab on your lip do not try and remove it for as long as you can hold out, as there may be a bloody welt below it.
Should you miss applying at stage 1 and instead put Releev on a little late at stage 2 or 3, it will dry up the lip outer surface and let it scab and heal faster. So still not bad.
The big question is - if you put it on early in stage 1 can you stop stage 2? The answer is - most of the time. Sometimes I get to stage 2 but its not as big of a deal as it would be otherwise. So not a perfect solution but works well. Definitely the best thing out there right now except for a Valtrex prescription.
The Abreva product seems to be trying to dry the lip as well...but also seems a little glossy too. It does not work nearly as good (for me) but it is better than nothing.
I have gone through quite a bit of this product and Abreeva and Valtrex over the years and I thought people out there needed some type of description of what actually happens when you apply this. So there you have it.
