Compeed Cold Sore Patches for Fast Healing, Hydrocolloid, Pack of 15

These are honestly a lifesaver! I suffer really badly with cold sores and they can sometimes become really big and painful. These have genuinely become my lifeline when I get one. I’ve tried so many other products before, but when my cold sores are bad, I’ve found nothing else works as well as these. They’re so easy to apply, stay in place really well and help protect the cold sore while it heals. I also love that they make it much less noticeable, which is especially helpful when you’re out and about. If I put one on early enough, I find they can clear up my cold sores within around two days. They’re also perfect for keeping in your handbag or taking with you wherever you go, just in case. I always have these on hand now and couldn’t recommend them more!

I bought the Compeed Hydrocolloid Cold Sore Treatment Patches as I wanted something more discreet than traditional creams, and I've been really impressed with how well they work. The patches are thin, comfortable to wear and much less noticeable than I expected, making them ideal for wearing during the day. They are easy to apply, especially with the included applicator, and they stay securely in place for a good amount of time. The patch creates a protective barrier that helps shield the cold sore from water, bacteria and everyday contact, while also reducing the temptation to touch the area while it heals. I also like that they can be worn under normal circumstances without constantly having to reapply cream. They provide peace of mind when eating, drinking or going about daily activities, and they help the area feel more protected while it recovers. Overall, these patches are a convenient and discreet solution for managing cold sores. They are simple to use, comfortable and effective at protecting the affected area. I would definitely keep a pack handy for when needed.

I woke up with a huge, swollen cold sore. These patches worked absolute miracles. They completely contained the swelling within 24 hours and stopped any painful crusting or bleeding by keeping the area moist. ​By day 3, the cold sore was completely flat, closed, and practically invisible. Under the patch, you could barely see anything, and it prevented the usual scabbing. 10/10!

These patches were helpful in managing my cold sores and made a noticeable difference while they were in use. They’re easy to apply, especially with the included applicator, and stayed in place well once applied. I found them particularly useful at night. The patch turns white as it works, which makes it quite noticeable during the day, but this isn’t an issue overnight and allows it to do its job undisturbed. They provided good protection and helped shield the area while healing. One thing to be aware of is removal, it can be a little uncomfortable if you’re not gentle, so taking care when peeling it off definitely helps. Overall, they were effective for me, easy to use, and something I would buy again.

These patches are a godsend! I've noticed that my cold sores heal a bit more quickly and easily when I use the patches, and now choose them over using acyclovir cream. Having the cold sore covered also gives me huge peace of mind, as the patch provides an extra layer of protection in terms of preventing the spreading of the cold sores to other parts of my lip- or passing this horrible virus on to others. I find that the patches stay put quite well, although if I'm eating a meal or drinking frequently they tend to come loose. But when I'm just eating a small snack like a biscuit or something, and just taking small sips of a drink, they stay on pretty well. On the downside they can be fiddly to apply, and I have wasted many patches over the years due to applications going wrong! And even though they're quite discreet I wouldn't say they're invisible- but then neither is a blob of cream on your lip! At the end of the day there's no perfect formula for managing and getting rid of cold sores- but this is one of the better methods in my opinion. Overall I'd recommend this product to anyone suffering from cold sores. The patches have been a game-changer for me and made outbreaks slightly shorter and more bearable. I also think they're good value for money.

Amazing for cold sores. Have bought a few times now. Theyre easy to use, are a good size, and are incredibly effective at getting rid of sores. Have good adhesion, too. I highly recommend these for the price.

I think these Patches are amazing and well worth the money. They prevent soreness, itching and scabbing and certainly Heal the sore a lot quicker than cream. They can cover the unsightly sore and can also be covered with make up. The only problem I found was it left marking from the Cold sore on the Skin after Healing which again can be covered with concealer but this does eventually fade. A problem I found was that sometimes the Patch would not connect to the Skin of contact having to pick it of the strip and sometimes getting wasted also I applied the Patch on first onset but it still developed, however still very good and wouldn’t be without them now.

They worked ok, definitely better than nothing. But the downsides are they are expensive for what they are, especially as they can be fiddly to use and I ended up wasting more than a couple of them due to it rolling up, getting stuck elsewhere, etc. Also, where sores are located in or underneath the nostril, this is an area which gets moist frequently so I found in my case the plaster rolled off sometimes in less than an hour. There was the temptation to try to ‘pat’ it back into place, which increased cross-contamination risk. I had a busy time of adjusting, replacing, washing hands, repeat… There are cheaper versions I’ve found but often they are too thick and don’t stay on. Compeed plasters are extremely sticky and stay on better but this means taking extra care peeling them off so you don’t cause damage to the fragile skin.

Good. It heals the wound in a week's time

These are the best ones i can find. Very thin and hardly noticeable. My cold sores heal faster and don’t dry out and bleed when i use these but i go through multiple of them for one outburst. I cut them in half to get two out of one but they are really hard to cut without ruining them. I then round out the edges. This helps for them to stay stuck to my lips longer, but eating, especially butter or greasy food will make them come unstuck, so be careful when your eating, or expect to have to rip it off and apply a new one. It’s worth the hassle though. I haven’t had to use these much since i changed my diet and improved my gut health, but when i do get the occasional blister, these are the only ones that look good now that the other brand i used to buy stopped selling theirs.

Arrived as promised, item exactly as described.

It did the work perfectly

Love this product, sticks well, once applied properly. Could be challenging to put on. Have ordered several times, it work well shorten the healing time.
