There's no denying that the symptoms of a cold sore are unpleasant. Lasting about 12 days without treatment, the pain, swelling, redness, and dry skin caused by an outbreak can cause discomfort, as well as embarrassment.
Furthermore, if you want to shorten the length of the outbreak, covering the blisters or lesions with concealer, or dabbing them with vodka (just one of the home remedies touted online), is a no-no.
Many old-wives' treatments for outbreaks actually dry out a cold sore, which slows healing and can leave the individual with flaky skin. Some of the remedies can sting a lot as well.
If you need to get rid of a cold sore fast, and want your symptoms to ease quickly, you should try Herstat.
What's so good about Herstat?
Fast healing
Not only does Herstat reduce the duration of an outbreak, it also sets to work on all the symptoms. Clinical studies of our ointment show that by day seven, all the participants of the trial were free of their symptoms and had normal skin*.
Effective at all stages of an outbreak
In addition to speeding healing, Herstat can be applied at any stage of an outbreak, unlike many other brands which need to be applied from the outset of symptoms in order to be effective.
Although our ointment will heal your cold sore more quickly if applied at the beginning of an outbreak, starting to use Herstat during later stages will still help to accelerate the healing process and reduce symptoms.
Easy on the pocket
As if all that wasn't enough, using Herstat means that you can reduce waste and save money.
We have included a natural antiviral substance called propolis into our treatment. It preserves the ointment and keeps it sterile.
The benefit of this is that you can reuse the same tube until there's no ointment left, throughout several outbreaks, safe in the knowledge that the ointment cannot be contaminated by the HSV-1 cold sore virus or other microbes.
It also means that there's no need to throw the tube away before it's finished, so you don't have to buy Herstat as often as you would need to buy other brands.
