Product Features
|
![]() Abreva is the only non-prescription cold sore medicine approved by the FDA. |
![]() |
While other products just soothe, Abreva goes deep in the skin to help heal cold sores from the inside out...Fast! Abreva is available in two formats; a convenient tube to keep Abreva ever-ready at home, and now a new easy-to-use pump for a clean and easy application on the go.
When Should I Use Abreva?
Start applying Abreva the moment you feel a cold sore coming on, when you feel that tingle, itch and/or burning sensation. If you miss the tingle stage, start using Abreva as soon as you can, and apply it five times a day until your cold sore is healed.
How Does Abreva Work?
Abreva contains 10 percent Docosanol, a unique patented active ingredient that helps protect healthy cells from the cold sore virus. As Abreva helps the healthy cells defend the cold sore virus, the virus has a difficult time infecting more and more cells. This means cold sores heal faster and symptoms don't last as long.
Why Use Abreva?
Other cold sore treatments only relieve symptoms, so they can't match the healing power of Abreva. Just check out the interactive demo to see the Abreva difference.
Plus, Abreva offers a Money-Back Guaranteee. If you aren't completely satisfied for any reason, save your receipt and remaining product, and call 1-877-709-3539 to receive a full refund.

3.0 out of 5 stars
get the tube instead of the pump,
By krtsphd (Providence, RI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abreva Cold Sore/Fever Blister Treatment, .07-Ounce Pump (Health and Beauty)
This new pump version of Abreva is HORIBBLE! There's no way to get a small amount no matter how gently or softly you press the button on top. It's either one huge glob (because the button went all the way down) or nothing. You just don't need that much product! Whoever designed this pump must have had one thing in mind: make the user dispense WAY more than he/she needs so that it empties faster and makes him/her buy more Abreva! Don't waste your money on this version no matter how good the bargain looks. Get the tube so you can control how much of the product comes out and so that you don't waste any of this admittedly expensive (but effective) product.

tube ointment is better,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Abreva Cold Sore/Fever Blister Treatment, .07-Ounce Pump (Health and Beauty)
I've used Abreva for years and thought I would give the pump a try. The product is much more difficult to use in this form than the small tube. The "ointment" coming out of the pump is too thin and watery and the pump mechanism does not work well causing you to waste a lot of product.

hate the pump with a passion,
This review is from: Abreva Cold Sore/Fever Blister Treatment, .07-Ounce Pump (Health and Beauty)
Great medicine--ridiculous delivery. Even pointing it away from my face it splatters and I've gotten it in my eye. It is horribly wasteful -no one needs that much abreva, it takes a tiny amount to be affective. It has to be designed to make you go through it twice as fast. Do NOT buy this stupid thing, stick to the tube.
