CompeedHydrocolloid Cold Sore Treatment Patches (15 Invisible Plasters for Cold Sores) - 12 Hours Protection from Water, Bacteria & Viruses - Discreet, Easy to Apply Patches with Patch Applicator

The best cold sore patches I’ve found. Easy to apply and almost invisible when on. They do not easily come off - i.e. when they get wet when I drink like other brands do

I am absolutely ordering these again! I started using them as soon as I felt the tingling and they work really well. It took me a few attempts to get the hang of it but once you figure out how to apply them it’s really easy. The tingling started on Tuesday morning so I applied the patch (first picture is with the patch on) and the second picture was taken today (two days after). It’s already healing and the sore is really small.They are discreet but they do start peeling off after a few hours and it gets a bit annoying. Still a lot better than the alternative! So happy to have finally found something that works!

The only thing that works on cold sores. 1 patch will last a whole day for me. Simple and easy to use and the most hygienic way.

Use these all the time and they’re not too bad. The stickiness isn’t great when the blister has popped but still useful

I honestly am truly shocked by how well these work! I've had cold sores my whole life and they usually linger for a good week! Using cream! These have made my huge cold sores disappear pretty much within a day! They stick amazing, just make sure your lip and surrounding area is dry! I wish I'd discovered these a long time a go!

Very impressed with these. Coldsore was completely gone in 4 days . Easy to apply and remove and unlike cream they work for 12hrs. And you can apply make-up over them so cannot be seen.

Ive suffered with coldsores for as long as I can remember and have tried both patches and creams.Lets me just start by saying, these do what they say. They provide a more healthy environment for the sore to heal. They are discreet enough to give you some confidence to want to show your face but they arent invisible. These have been very good for me, as I have a newborn baby and these patches act as an extra safety measure on top of hand washing.Despite other reviewers saying that they are hard to apply or that they don't stick, I didn't find this to be true. They were easy to apply and usually stayed in place until I peeled them off to change them basically after 10-12 hours.However...As this is a patch, it hurts to take off and your lip will feel very strange and uncomfortable when you do peel it off - this might just be my experience however as they were not coming off on their own. If they have already started to peel then I imagine you may not feel as much pain.On top of that, I found that the patches did very little to actually ease the symptoms. Still alot of itching and burning.This is a good product but it more or less took the same amount of time to heal the sore as it would have if I had used a cream. The biggest advantages are having the sore covered to reduce spreading and that it makes it looks a lot less unsightly.

if you can catch the sore before it blisters..... this is wonderful. discreet, sheer and stays on rather well (although this is dependant on where the cold sore actually is).if however it has blistered, these plasters are big enough and you need to move to a cream to clear it up and help the healing process. once it heals up and stops weeping.... you can go back to the compeed to help protect the area and further prevent the spread.in the pack there should be a few that are larger in size, as if you need to double them close together to cover a large area, they dont stick well.Also the application is terrible.... often go through at least 1-2 before being sucessfull, which is such a waste. i am only new to using these but from all accounts it looks like the packaging is new and people dont like it at all. has to be a better way to store/provide these. if you touch the other side just one bit, it sticks on the inside and is completely useless. it goes straight in the rubbish bin.i do like the product though for daily use and they stay in place nicely throughout the day.
