“I have been buying this for a few years and it is really very rare for me to get a coldsore now. I must admit my last purchase seems 'slippier' and I really prefer it when its a bit 'grainy' as this feels more effective on your lips. Overall though, I wouldn't be without it and I have one in my bag and one by the bedside.”
“I have tried everything for recurring cold sores - over the counter creams, those awful pads which curl up and fall off, tablets from the doctor, natural remedies etc. This is the only thing that works for me. I use it every day as a general lip balm but if I ever feel a flare-up I just start applying this every couple of hours. I have seen a massive reduction in cold sores, maybe only a handful since I started using it around 2 years ago rather than every month or so before. If one does manage to fight through then this balm stops it in its tracks and the life cycle is dramatically reduced. Try it - it works!”
“I have been using liquorice balm for about 4 years now I still get the odd cold sore if I'm really stressed but I have noticed a definite reduction in flare ups. It is kind of pricey but most cold sore treatments are anyway and the balm lasts ages.”
“Can honestly say this product is amazing. I used to suffer from cold sores every few months but since using it every morning for the past few years, the only time they reappeared was when I lost I my lip balm. The formula has changed and now is lovely and smooth (as opposed to the grainy texture previously) love love love it.”
“I have used this product for the last 4 years. I used to be plagued by cold sores but since I started using this every night before sleeping I can honestly say I have only had 1 and that was because I missed a couple of nights application.”
“This balm glides on lips making them soft and shiny. I wear it under my lipstick but even on its own it gives your lips a glossy look - and it tastes good too!!”
“I've tried this balm almost on a daily basis for over 2 months now and am definitely buying more because I'm running out. I slather this on and use it multiple times a day, so probably for a less avid lip balm user, this little tub will last much longer.
I can't say for sure this prevents cold sores because I've been trying to improve my health in many different ways to prevent them and not by just using this balm.
I love the consistency of the balm- not waxy and very soft, maybe almost slippery on the lips.
The price is fair, but I'd like to have more information such as what percentage of the lip balm is liquorice.”
