Cymex Cream for Cold Sores x 2

A long time ago, when I was around 26 years old, I was on holiday in Cornwall and I got a huge cold sore, that covered the whole of my bottom lip in yellow pus! When I get cold sores, I don't normally get any itching or blisters. I just get big yellow lumps! Ergh gross!Anyway, the only way I could relieve the pain, was to hold my lip under a cold water tap, until it went numb! Coming home from Cornwall, we kept stopping at services so I could run to the toilets and numb my lip! In the car, I held it in a cup of cold water. The pain was excruciating.Fast forward to getting home, I saw my GP and I ended up on antibiotics, because of the painful infection. After a week I started to feel better.I get these cold sores, when I am ill, or don't have enough protection on my lips when I'm sunbathing. I've tried everything on my lips (zovirax, blistex, all sorts) for almost 40 years, without much success at all. You name it, I've had it. Until, I went to a chemist in Padstow a couple of years ago, when my lips flared up again and I couldn't eat or brush my teeth because of the pain! I was embarrassed to eat out (what would the restaurant think of my using their cutlery?) and I was very self-conscious by how I looked and how much pain I was in. The pharmacist had a look and told me use Cymex. I did, but the damage was done, so it didn't have that much of effect.Anyway, my lips flared up again this week, after an awful virus I've just had, with the pain in my lips keeping me awake at night etc., I thought 'here we go again'. Fortunately, I had extra supplies of Cymex in, and I had nothing else! I had little choice but to use it. OMG, has it relieved the pain after each application! Never have my lips responded to anything as well as Cymex, which has not only helped massively with the pain, but the healing process too. I am so grateful this exists, and I will now always have it in my first aid kit.

I rely on this ointment to get rid of any cold sores quickly. I find that it works well. Good value for money buying a twin pack is really worth it. You can feel a slight tingle after application which seems to suggest it’s doing its stuff. Well worth it in my opinion.

Swift delivery, easy to use does come out rather fast so be aware.Heals and soothes lovely

Great product. Thank you.

PERFECT PRODUCT. First time buyer, and it works quickly.

Best cold sore cream out there works well on established cold sores

always works the fastest

It's OK but not as good as another product. Checking the ingredients and volume before purchase might be a good idea. Value for money and it does help with irritation and pain
