DocoShield Lip Balm w/Docosanol (3-Pack)

Better than Abreva! Same active ingredient but longer lasting and a far better bang for your buck!

I haven’t had any problems since using this product and it’s been months since I started. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with lip problems if you know what I mean cause amazon will censor me if I say the wrong thing.

As good as the name brand!

Works really well. I use it daily. Sometimes can seem drying. But I will never go without it

first I must say, if you're considering buying these then you probably know the unpleasant life of cold sores. these "chapsticks" have literally changed the game for me - I've not had an outbreak since switching. They feel like a regular chapstick but with a tiny hint of the numbing sensation you would get from applying abreva, which I appreciate because I can feel it working. I keep them all around (one in my purse, nightstand, in the living room) because you know how important it is to apply as soon as you feel the warmth/tingle coming, so the pack of 3 is great for that. I never feel weird about whipping out this doco chapstick in public because anyone would think it's a regular balm and it's so much easier than doing a dollop of the white cream. I can't explain how grateful I am to have found these and no longer have to carry abreva on me all the time, cold sore free since 2023 let's goooo

I generally dont write reviews but I know this struggle and Im hoping this helps someone.Ok, if you suffer with cold sores and do not use this then I beg you to give it a try. For many years I have suffered the embarrassment early summer, during high stress or if I let my lips get chapped at any point. All the while trying every product from Lysine to Carmex and every over the counter stick of this that or the other possible as a preventative measure only to be rewarded with that dreaded tingling at some point.This year I decided to go with Doco figuring "it can't hurt". I have been using it religiously every day since Feb 19th and of course on April 29 I get that tingling feeling, see the clump of tiny (not yet noticible) blisters and start cursing. I go into treatment mode with the Abreva and compeed patches but get this that's ALL that happened, my story ends here. I'm writing this May 2nd only having dealt with the first signs of a breakout and nothing more, no progression, no embarrassment, no nothing.I know this is different for everyone and results will vary but I have tried everything and this is the only product that has ever worked for me to any degree.Try It. It won't hurt!Revision: For those that say "this is not a preventative because that's not how the medicine works" I say Hogwash! Having the Med's in place even before you are aware of the breakout is literally as fast as you can possibly apply it at the first signs of a breakout which prevents progression.I use it daily coupled with an SPF 45 lip balm.

This product really works! I love it and would use it every day to prevent cold sores and relieve them when they begin. But have bought it both with Lysine and without—except for one pack the tubes don’t work properly. Once I turned the tubes enough to raise the balm it was impossible to lower the balm down again. Hence the cover tended to get stuck on the product and created a mess. If not for this problem it would give it 5 stars and a perfect review. It’s much less messy than Abreva and if you take Lysine as a supplement you can get the Doco without Lysine which is cheaper. The balm has hardly any scent and no unpleasant taste. If only the tubes worked properly I would be very happy!

Def worth every penny. Had cold sores for the whole summer and it wasn’t stopping for any medication until I took a chance on this.Suggest using Q-tip till the cold sore goes away completely, and then you can start applying directly. Remember cold sores leak so you never want to rub the tube on your lip directly, otherwise every time you apply it you’ll be rubbing the previous infected juice still on the tube back on your lip-reinfecting yourself. Gross and unhelpful which is the opposite of what you want.Scrape with Q-tip and slowly rub into cold sore, do not use your fingers! Not worth the risk of genital herpes; me and my doctor both agree on that.This comes with 3 lip balms so it’s def cheaper than most medication and quite frankly 100% better than Abreva, acyclovir, releev, lysine+, orajel, Herpecin L, and any other product I have tried and can’t bother to remember.It won’t be gone in a day but you’ll see results fast and the cold sore will be 80% better in 3 days which will boost your confidence. Only those who really stare at your lip will notice and even then they might not even think it’s a cold sore cause it’s diminished so well. The rest of the 20%, for me atleast took A full week and even then I kept using Q-tips for another week just to make sure nothing else popped off and then I started using it directly on my lip. Ever since then I haven’t had one single outbreak.I keep it near just Incase I feel a tingle, rub extra on and nothing ever happens to my lips. I’m a happy girl.This is awesome. Definitely recommend.I use this and Herp Rescue pills. One to help my immune system and fight inside my body (Herp Rescue pills) and the other to help outside on contact and to prevent outbreak (Doco Lip Balm)I’m so glad I took a chance on this. Not really sure where that one bad review came from because this has been a life safer. One less thing to worry about in my life.God knows we can all use that, which is why I’m sharing my experience and hopefully you’ll take a chance on this too and it can give you the freedom of knowing you’ve gained some control of your life back. Cause I for one am not planning on having my Wedding Day ruined by a cold sore. I don’t even want it ruined on a normal Saturday night let alone my big day. And now I never have to worry about that. They got a customer for life.
