Quantum Health Lip Clear Invisible Cold Sore Patches for Lips Help Soothe Shield & Hide Cold Sores - Helps Prevent Contamination - Fever Blister Bandages for Women & Men - 12 Count

Works. Would very much purchase again.

Quantum Health Lip Clear came through when I needed it. It helps soothe the pain and itching quickly, and I noticed my cold sore healing faster than usual. The best part is it goes on clear and blends in well, so it’s not obvious you’re treating anything. It doesn’t sting, and it’s easy to reapply throughout the day. Definitely keeping this on hand for any future flare-ups.

not what I was expecting, I should've read more about these. It says use with lip gloss/stick/chapstick didnt work for me. Tried over and under the bandage, but would just slip off. Which means you can't put medicine/topical creams on because then the bandage falls off. The bandage alone does not provide any relief what so ever. Basically this is just a clear dot band-aid

This isn’t a magic patch that will turn invisible when put on a cold sore. However, when I put the patch on it completely made it disappear and the patch is ALMOST invisible. You can tell it’s there but I don’t think anyone would notice unless they are staring. It’s been healing faster than my past cold sores I’ve had. I don’t like the sticky residue that stays when you peel it off. Other than that. I would definitely get again!

What a great product idea! Too bad it only stays put for a very short period of time. I was very excited to get these. I talk to people all day every day and a big ugly cold sore on your face. I placed one on while getting ready for work. It looked great. Then I got to work and started talking to people (about 40 minutes after getting ready at home). One of my co-workers pointed to her lip to indicate I should take a look at mine. How embarrassing! It had lifted around all of the edges and looked horrible. I tried several different ways throughout the course of my cold sore. What I found was if you try to use them when the bumpy blister has formed (the phase you want to hide the most), look for another way to conceal it. After bumps, blisters, scabs, etc. have gone away, then it sticks very well. I can cover that with makeup. Thank you Quantum Health for the effort but I cannot recommend this product and would not purchase it again.

These are better than nothing, but I much prefer the Compeed brand. Compeed's are thinner, stick on much better, and are truly invisible. This Quantum Health version is too thick to be invisible--- the edges of the bandage don't vanish, in fact they can stick up a bit, wheras that just doesn't happen with Compeed. Compeed is almost as thin as a piece of Tegaderm, if you're familiar with that product, but Tegaderm doesn't make a cold sore bandage. Compeed brand bandage is also a tiny bit larger than Quantum, which makes it more versatile, because it works equally well on small or large sores. Both brands remove easily, and take makeup well. I use Compeed's to cover up occasional acne breakout as well, because I don't like putting makeup over a pimple, it's not sanitary, it never looks very convincing, and makes it hard for the breakout to heal. So I just apply a dab of tea tree oil to the pimple, pop on a cold sore bandage and then put the concealer makeup over top. It works perfectly, completely hides the breakout, and the pimple is healed within a shorter time. Same routine for a cold sore, try it!

I've never written a review before but these are great. I suffer from both cold sores and blisters because I'm allergic to jalapeño and raw ginger. Normally I use abreva and deal with 7-10 days of sores scabs and ugliness and it always spreads because you can't eat from a straw all the time. Just only 3 days and it seems like it hasn't spread or turned into a full blister and I can see it's started to heal already. I did have difficulty the first time putting it on and it got worse when I had to peel it off but then I read up that it's best to take it off with water and just stretch the edges which really worked. Key is to leave it on as long as possible to mitigate the stickiness and change it less frequently(which I was changing every few hours and found it unnecessary) the last two days I just dressed it once daily. I also made a natural oil mix of lemon balm, tea tree, peppermint and lavender with a tiny bit of grape seed oil that I would put as a topical solution on my lip to air it out for an hour so that it would be dry to apply the patch on. Combo seems effective and I can't believe At day 3 it has subsided and there's no blister pain. The patches are good because it protects my lip from irritants like dampness, smoke, eating and drinking and salad dressings which I think is key to containing the sores. Awesome product and I just bought another pack and also am going to try that other brand compeed to see the differences

My cold soars last less with this product, I wear it as soon as I feel one coming out. I wear it. They speed up the process making my cold soar last about 4 days. You still go thru the process, I don’t like that they are small. Which they were bigger.
