10% Docosanol Cold Sore Treatment | Abreva
Size: 2 g

🔷 Product Overview

Abreva Cold Sore Treatment Cream is a clinically proven cold sore treatment containing 10% docosanol. Designed for cold sores on the lips and face, Abreva should be applied at the very first sign of a cold sore — the “tingle” stage — for best results.

Abreva works by helping block the spread of the cold sore virus to healthy skin cells. It begins working immediately and helps reduce the duration of pain, burning, itching and tingling associated with cold sores.

When used at the first sign of a cold sore, Abreva is clinically proven to reduce median healing time to 4.1 days.* It can be applied up to 5 times daily for a maximum of 10 days.
