Super Lysine Plus Coldstick With SPF21 Quantum 1 Stick

I'm amazed as to how well such an inexpensive product like this works. I have been getting sores since I was in grade school. When I started getting them more regularly at age 21, I was prescribed an antiretroviral to be taken with outbreaks. By age 22, my med regimen was suppression therapy. Although suppression therapy worked, the risks were far too great for me so I just decided to take care of the pesky sores as they came. After several visits with my new MD (I lost my health insurance for quite a number of years), I learned he was hesitant to prescribe me the higher dose of antiretrovirals I needed to keep them at bay. So I turned to amazon and voila. I can't believe I'd never heard the benefits of lysine on cold sores! All those recent nasty outbreaks could have avoided! I read the reviews and knew for such a good price, it was worth trying. I had an active sore when my first lip balm coldstick arrived. I applied the balm onto and around the blister, taking care to clean the balm after each use to prevent spread of infection. I didn't notice much difference and was disappointed. But the great thing about this balm is that I learned to love just the nice, soft feeling it left on my lips so I kept using it off and on. What I discovered is that this balm works VERY WELL for me when I feel a tingly, numb, itchy sensation in its early stages. I get paranoid and lather this balm on maybe an average of 5 times a day and the sensation goes away completely...no sore emerges! I don't think anyone was as ecstatic as I was when I came to this realization, but of course, my fellow cold sores sufferers. Now I keep one balm in my purse, and one on my bed-stand. I must also mention shortly after this revelation, I purchased the same brand's lip CREAM/OINTMENT which comes in a tube with similar pricing. OMG. Just try it please. It's $4-7 and worth the shot. You'll probably spend twice that much buying useless abreva. One last thing, I also bought the same brand's lysine oral tablet supplements and began taking one daily the same time I started using the balm religiously. I'm not sure if it's a combination of the 2-3 that's been effective but I suggest these 3. My routine: I take 1-2 lysine tabs daily (sometimes I'll skip a day or two bc I'm lazy), lip balm ~5 times a day, and I apply the ointment every 2-3 hrs when I have that tingly, itchy sensation, which I only have to use maybe 2 days tops bc that sensation completely goes away fairly quick. The days I get these sensations are usually around the time I neglect taking the pills and use less balm. Apologies for the long read but I hope this helps someone!

I paired this with an oral lysine supplement as well for frequent coldsore breakouts and am beyond pleased with how well they worked. I waited until I actually started to get an outbreak before posting so I could see if this really helped. But, first of all I didn't have a breakout for awhile while using this and taking the lysine pills which impressed me initially because I get coldsores very frequently. If you look at me wrong, bam! Coldsore! So I went longer than normal without anything. Then, a vacation of course did cause a breakout. I took this as soon as I noticed it. I was taking one pill each day then two a day when I felt a cluster of sores starting to sprout. This chapstick I used probably 5-6 times a day during my breakout... Just as often as I could. This stopped them from getting big which I don't think has ever happened. And it cleared up in just 3 days. This was amazing!!!! It worked far better than anything I've used including prescription medications. I think pairing the two is something I'll continue to do because it worked so well. The chapstick is also incredibly soothing though. Definitely helped with irritation/discomfort from the sores. I was so happy at how well these seemed to really kick my coldsore problem to the curb. So glad I gave this a chance. I was nervous it wouldn't work. I get one coldsore, or a cluster of many coldsores at least once a month, or more. And they usually take a few weeks to go away... Just in time for my next outbreak. This stuff was amazing. My coldsores didn't even really become coldsores while using this and the oral supplement. It really made my breakout so minimal and then cleared up completely so quickly. The healing process was MUCH better than what's been my norm for so long, too. I am back to using the chapstick just once a day before bedtime and I'm relieved to know that any future coldsores will be successfully eliminated easier than I've ever experienced. These are the longest reviews I've ever written (for the lysine products) because I don't think I've ever been more excited about a product. Great stuff!

This is a medical grade not like the regular one you find in stores. Very thick layer that protect and heal fast. You will never go wrong other than the price is a little high but you get what you pay for.

Great chapstick, goes on nice and stays on. Not an unpleasant scent - kind of herbal smelling. I gave it four stars because it is to soon to tell if it has a preventative effect on cold sores. Great for winter outdoor activities - kept my lips from getting chapped! Would buy again.

Highly recommend it for cold sore lips

On my third stick since August and still have not had a cold sore since using this! 5 months and counting! It’s amazing and a great hydration chapstick. Highly recommend.

These lysine sticks are rather pricey, but they are way cheaper than the Abreva and other topical cream treatments I've seen. Every cold sore treatment product says to place the product on your lips within the first hint of a tingly feeling in your lip. Super Lysine is no different. Abreva and knock off brands of the sort dry up your lips and make them feel umcomfortable, whereas this lysine stick keeps your lips feeling moist and normal feeling. I use the lysine stick for lip chap prevention and have never had a cold sore ourbreak since I've used it. I know, it seems like an old wives tale, but it works for this 27 year old guy. Not all "natural remedies" work, but Super Lysine has. I have at least a 2 year track record of using this product and can say that it definitely works. When I buy these, I usually but the multi-pack options to bring the cost down. They last forever; the only time I have to buy more is when I lose them.

I get cold sores after staying in the sun for a long time. Last 2 times I went to the Caribbean, I got cold sores as soon as the following day of my return. I read reviews about this item and decided to try it, I have nothing to lose. I definitely love this product. I have sensitive lips that chap and peel easily. Usually, with other products my lips peel until it bled at the end of the day. I began using burts bees products because it was the only brand that didn't make my lips peel. I was eerie about my lips peeling with this product but I would rather that instead of cold sores. But with this product it was a win win for me! No peeling lips! No chapped lips! No cold sores after the sun! I was in Jamaica catching all the rays I wanted and made sure to use this chap stick at all times. I would use it and place regular lipstick on top for added color! I swear by this product! I want to thank everyone who reviewed this! It truly is a lifesaver. Highly recommended!

This is by far the best chapstick I've ever used. I've been using this product for over 10 years now, and won't be changing. It actually heals the instead of making them more dry and is part of my anti cold sore routine. I recommend it to everyone. I'd recommend finding it in a local health food store though as this is extremely overpriced. I usually pay between$12 and $15 But its worth it if you dont have other options

جيد و لكن توجد منتجات افضل

Update: this balm along with the lysine supplements from this same brand seem to really be helping my chronic mouth crack when so many other things did not. -------- Love this lip balm as it's thick and almost creamy and feels very moisturizing (I do apply a *lot*) and really sticks to your skin well forming a barrier, even overnight, protecting the skin and keeping it hydrated. I'm hoping the lysine in it will help prevent my reoccurring skin issue, we'll see. The SPF is a nice bonus too. It is quite pricey for a lip balm but I'd say it will be worth it if it helps.

Definitely helpful keeping lips hydrated, and cold sores away.

This is the best lip chap for dry lips! I put it on before bed nightly and have for years and it prevents any dry lips
