Best Product Out On The Market! #1 In My Book! 👌
When I apply Abreva at the very first tingle, it drastically reduces the amount that the cold sore grows to, and reduces my healing time in half. I put it on at least 3 times that day and by the next morning it almost looks as if nothing is there. No red spot near the edge of my lip. Now just a very small bump that is already beginning to get smaller and smaller. Even if a sore has already formed it seems to quickly stop it in its tracks. Use sparingly. I'd just recommended the push tube , because then you can monitor how much you're actually using. This stuff works well I swear by it, in my opinion,I had my doubts about this product based of the negative reviews about it comparing its effectiveness to its cost. It's true to its advertising, it has extremely reduced my healing time. I think people are expecting too much now that I have had my own experience with Abreva. Now, I honestly believe that Abreva is probably best in the market and the first to consider. Go get it and always keep it handy in your prescription cabinet!Best advise I can give you is apply Abreva as soon as you feel even the slightest bump. It helps it prevent it and quicken the process. Make sure you use a Q-tip! Also, DO NOT LICK LIPS, it is such a terrible way to spread to the other parts of your lips and also the inside. I would recommend this stuff to anyone. It works like magic if you put it on right when you feel the cold sore start to come in.

Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2023
This is a great product, that's why I didn't mind paying $43 delivered. What's most unimpressive though, is the not so distant expiry date being just 8 months past the delivered date (06/2023).
