What's in this stuff that makes it so expensive? Most likely, I'm guessing, a substance that costs a tiny fraction of what it costs you to get it. However... unlike every other useless cold sore remedy I've tried (and I've tried most of them), this product is more than just a moisturizer or a pain reliever. At the very first sign of a cold sore, I applied this product. I suspect nothing will completely stop a cold sore once it has started, but this stuff came close. I have to admit I was surprised. Is it worth over $12 per dose to significantly reduce the typical painful and unsightly 7-10 day cycle of a cold sore? Probably. The severity of mine was reduced by, I'd say, 80-90%, and it was completely gone in about 3 days.

About the expiration date fiasco also noted by another reviewer... yes it's disturbing that there is a label attached to the product extending the original expiration date. Even this new date is annoyingly close to the date of purchase however... this stuff apparently has a very short (and yet to be determined?) shelf life.

I bought this product over a year ago the 3 pack. I have used everything for cold sores nothing really ever worked like this. I used it the first time and I was at the blister stage, I had to use two vials, but it was so worth it. The swelling went down and it was heal within a week not two week to three weeks later. I hadn't had to use the product until this year and the product expired Oct 2006, and it was now Mar 2007, I was bummed especially with the cost. I decided to use it anyway, and it worked just as fine as the first time. I also had to use it again in July 2007, and it worked fine again. I makes sure to use the entire vial on my sore, I dab it on and wait for it to dry then dab it again until the vial is completely empty. This stuff really works and now I don't have to be embarrassed for two weeks waiting for it to heal.

Learned about this product from a dentist friend. It absolutely works! I was having repeated outbreaks in one spot on & under my lip & just could not get it under control - using every product on the market. Valtrex, of course, worked but I do not want to take that. After I appeared to have the whole thing under control - I continued to use this every morning & night for about a week in that one spot and it cleared the whole thing up! Has not returned. It's been 3 mos. Expensive but absolutely the best. My dentist friend advised that once you get it under control...use it at the very first signs ("tingling") & it will work as a preventative and IT DOES! I think it somehow disrupts that virus in the nerve - very effectively.
