It boggles me how Abreva can get away with advertising their topical cream can cure a cold sore in 2.5 days if applied at the first sign of it. I've been using Abreva for years in the hope that it may be reducing the length of time I have a cold sore -- a costly endeavor considering the exorbitant price of Abreva.

I've been using Abreva for years in the hope that it may be reducing the length of time I have a cold sore -- a costly endeavor considering the exorbitant price of Abreva. I've never had it stop a cold sore and it's never prevented one from lasting less than 7 days. Honestly, you'd think by how some genius would have come up with an effective treatment and run off with millions of dollars.

It is crazy expensive and doesn't seem as effective as some natural remedies I have tried. Going to stick to the natural methods instead...

Comment:
Abreva works best when it is applied as soon as the individual senses a cold sore coming on. It does not pretend to make existing outbreaks disappear. If used as instructed, it can lessen the size of the outbreak and the duration. Don’t expect miracles- this product does what it claims; it’s the best available.

Worked very well for me every time! When I put abreva on after a couple of hours that I notice the cold sore it will last up to 5 days but if I literally put it right away and I mean RIGHT AWAY not 5 min later... then the cold sore won’t even show up! Amazing product. I think who doesn’t like it just lies about putting on right away!

I had dental surgery planned for a Tuesday morning. On the previous Saturday morning I felt a cold sore coming on my lower lip. I immediately started putting Abreva on the cold sore and it was gone by Tuesday morning. I love this product and wouldn't use any other.
