10% Docosanol Cold Sore Treatment in a Convenient Pump | Abreva®
Size: 2 g

🔷 Product Overview

Abreva® Cold Sore Treatment Cream Pump contains 10% docosanol and is clinically proven to shorten the healing time of cold sores when treatment is started at the first sign of an outbreak.

Abreva begins soothing on contact and works by helping prevent the cold sore virus from spreading to surrounding healthy skin cells. The cream creates a protective barrier while helping reduce the duration of pain, burning, itching and tingling associated with cold sores.

For best results, begin using Abreva during the earliest tingling stage and continue applying it 5 times daily until the cold sore has healed, for a maximum of 10 days.

🔷 How Abreva Works

Abreva contains docosanol 10%, which works at the skin-cell level to help prevent the cold sore virus from spreading into surrounding healthy cells.

Starting treatment at the earliest tingling stage provides the best opportunity to shorten the duration of the outbreak.

In clinical testing, Abreva reduced median cold sore healing time to 4.1 days when treatment began at the first sign. An untreated cold sore may last approximately 8 days.
