Applied with a patent-pending no-touch design, butterfly applicator, the Compeed® Cold Sore Patch reduces risk of cross contamination associated with touching the sore. Once applied, the patch covers and seals the cold sore, and provides healing benefits at each stage of the cold sore outbreak:

• Soothes burning and itching

• Promotes faster healing*

• Discreet

• Helps prevent contamination and secondary infection

When to apply

The Compeed® Cold Sore Patch can be applied at the first sign of an outbreak - usually a tingling sensation around the mouth - right until the end of the outbreak when then skin is completely healed.

After application - lipstick, make-up etc.

Once the patch is firmly in place, you can apply make-up or lipstick over and around the patch.

Don't forget to wash your hands.

Changing the patch

On average, the patch will stay on for up to 8 hours. However individual experiences may vary. When it starts to detach from the skin, it should be removed and replaced with a new patch. To remove it easily, gently pull the patch in parallel with your skin
