Quantum Super Lysine Plus Cold Sore Treatment Cream - 0.25 Oz

Update:December 2024 - this stuff is the most amazing stuff ever. Had another cold sore flare up and as soon as I felt the swelling I applied it. Knocked it out within the same day. I hope I never find myself without it. I'm going to check out the whole product line. *************** I don't know what makes this product so effective but more it is. I use this and the other Quantum lip clear and I swear it really does knock it out in half the time. I try to keep this on hand at home and if I travel just in case. Yeah it's still goopy and looks gross but just put on a little. Reapply as necessary. This is not the cheapest but it's not as pricey as the big name like Abreva which didn't do squat for me. It actually works for me. I highly recommend this product and/or the Quantum Lip Clear Lysine +. Same brand. I have no idea why it's packaged or labeled differently. They do have different "taste" and "smell" (obviously DO NOT ingest it on purpose). But both have the same amount menthol. Might have additional add ins. I don't know. I just know they both work. Get it. Have it on hand. It will helps you stress less.

Did a fantastic job healing major incisions on the skin resulting in minimal scarring. Have to look really hard to find where there had been an incision requiring 45 stitches and incision for heart bypass surgery barely noticeable.

This stuff is incredibly effective at preventing a cold sore from erupting and/or healing it very quickly. It works MUCH better than the name brand OTC cold sore remedy whose name begins with/an A. The tube is very small but its oil based so you only need a tiny bit for each application. The only negative is how messy it is. It’s very runny (think melted coconut oil consistency) and it’s clear. I recommend punching a tiny hole in the foil seal (with a safety pin or similar size tool) so it doesn’t come rushing out resulting in a waste of product. Press ever so gently on the tube onto your finger, then spread it on your lips. Works even faster is you get the SuperLysine Immune Support supplements from the same company. My cold sores never erupt if I use both at the first tingles!

This product is good! No foul smell and it doesn’t burn my lips! I liked it so much I bought another tube. I use it at night mostly. It seems to keep my lips moist and stays on. I’ve had no cold sores since I started using it but that could be dumb luck.

The best cream for cold sores. Much better than anything else. They also have pills to take as well and the combination gets rid of cold sores, and prevents new ones from coming.

Only people who get coldsores often know the embarassing painful struggle it is to have. Abreva does NOTHING. Everything else I tried only helps with pain. Can't believe it took me 25 years to find SLP! This stuff WORKS. I leave realistic reviews, so check my profile and trust I mean it. If i use this after getting a coldsore or at the first sign of a tingle, my lip doesn't swell half the size and it goes on a light amber color, not bright white (ahem). My healing time is cut in half, my pain is cut in half and most importantly, my anxiety is subsided. I'm going to combine these with a lysine supplement and see if that helps even more. The tube is small but lasts thru at least a few outbreaks. I plan on doubling up on my next order. Big TY to the creators!

I’ve been successfully using this ointment for years when I have an outbreak of shingles (not as severe as I’ve seen others experience). Works very well in controlling discomfort and dries up the outbreak quickly. Couldn’t live without it.

I was underwhelmed by this product. I've tried lots of cold sore medicating creams and ointments over the years and although this wasn't nearly as bad as some I've tried the price wasn't worth the results. It claims to have Lysine in it but the active ingredient, I discovered after receiving it, is menthol, which has never done a whole lot for me. My cold sore healed up in about a week but I want something that works faster - otherwise I might as well just keep it moist while it heals naturally. There used to be a wonderful ointment that was prescription-only back in the day. My mother used it and then I did too for a while and it was fantastic. But I think it's been discontinued and I've been on a mission to find an over-the-counter replacement. This is not it :(

Very Effective for Chapped and Dry Lips

Works well.

Good product. Order this product if you have a problem with cold sore. Sorry my english it not very good. But i tried .

works really well

This product was recommended to me by a friend who is a naturopath. The medical reviews seem to show that it is very effective to shorten the herpes crises, well: I do not know! I used it with the "Valtrex" pills once the cold sores had appeared and al together it lasted 8 days. You need to reapply frequently ( every 30 minutes!) because it turns out that it kind of liquefies itself and after half an hours, there is nothing left on the lips. The good think is that by applying it frequently made my lips super soft and almost avoided the chapping and the crusts. They were smaller and did not hurt. The difference I found with this product compared to the other hydrating ones is that each time I put any king of lip balm or lip cream during an a herpes episode, it would relieve me on the spot but also make the cold sores "swollen" as if the cream was feeding them. With this product, I got the hydrating effect without the swelling.
