This is a great product for canker sores. It's the only one that actually creates a protective layer over your canker sore and STAYS there. I tried Canker-X, Kanka, and Abrevia. Canker-X is so liquidy, it never dries up and ends up all over your mouth. Then the pain comes back in a few minutes. Canker-X claims to create a protective layer, but it doesn't. Kanka hurts a bunch, numbs your sore, and makes an attempt at producing a covering while getting all over your mouth. I feel like Zilactin-B is even better than home remedies such as hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera juice, baking soda, and salt. Why do I say this? Because Zilactin-B's patented bio-adhesive protective layer is that effective and it keeps me feeling great all day! You can even see it as it covers your sore. It's dark purple in color and dries up in a slightly lighter color. It's not a mystery like the other brands. I tried the home remedies and they hurt a lot. They also don't do anything about the continual pain I experience throughout the day. Zilactin-B fixed all that and now I can actually do stuff and focus on things without having a throbbing pain in my lip. Just one warning, if the protective layers comes off from picking at it or if you try to eat, your sore may bleed. In my opinion, this was a good thing. I'm no Doctor, but I think the fact that blood is being sent to my sore means it's in the healing process and repairing the damage.

To sum it up....
Pros: Colored and thick substance so you can see exactly where you are applying it to
- Keep it dried for a minute after applying and it dries up nicely
- You can see the protective layer
- Protective layer prevents further irritation
- Has medicated pain reliever in it
- Protective layer lasts up to 6 hours, sometimes longer

Cons: Stings when you apply it, but not as bad as putting salt, baking soda or Kanka directly on it. Luckily you only need to apply it maybe 2-3 times a day at the most.

As one who suffers from chronic canker sores, this stuff makes life a lot easier.

Just as the description reads, it lasts about 6 hours, provided that you don't pick at it...

Like most direct application medicines, it will sting like crazy when you put it on...

I have suffered from canker sores for years and as far as liquid cover goes, this is the best. I have tried others, but, Zilactin B is the only one that stays on long enough to get some measurable relief. A friend of mine recommended it when I was frustrated with using Orajel and the like and I love it. I do agree that the Canker Cover is the best canker product for sores inside your mouth, but, when you have sores on your lips, the canker cover just isn't practical and a liquid cover option is best, zilactin b works best.

I have been a chronic sufferer of canker sores for a long time. They have made my life miserable at times. When I went to the doctor, he recommended Zilactin to me. I have been using it for years since. It hurts like nothing else I have experienced when you put it on but then you can enjoy a meal or get some sleep for a while. They have no noticeable affect as far as healing time goes but do provide some relief. Canker Covers are much more effective and have changed the game for me. Give them a shot.Quantum Canker Cover

I've suffered with canker sores since childhood and have tried every remedy out there, and this stuff has been the only thing that has made a difference. It covers the sore, stays on long enough to allow me to eat and talk without pain for at least a couple of hours, and I've found that if I apply it early and often, the sores don't get as big and heal much faster, I think possibly because they are not getting so constantly irritated. And while it does burn when you first put it on, I find it hurts much less than some of the other gels and covers I've tried. Highly recommended.

Great healing aid for mouth sores. The Benzocaine really helps with the pain. Sometimes it can be difficult to find Zilactin B in pharmacies. Great to know that it can be ordered on line.

My elderly mother has poor fitting dentures and because they were moving around a lot she was getting lots of mouth sores. This product helped her so much she was able to be much more comfortable.

Zilactin-B is the only thing that works for me on painful canker sores on the tongue. Thank goodness for this product!

I have tried Anbesol and Orajel, none of them compares to the effectiveness of Zilactin-B. Those other two merely numb the general area for about 30 minutes. Z-B numbs just the canker sore for about 3-4 hours. Yes, it stings like heck when it goes on, but the long relief is more than worth it. I am someone who gets frequent canker sores, due to biting my gums (major over bite). This stuff really works.

I have been using Zilactin for at least 15 years for cold sores and love it!! It takes away all the pain and prickly sensations. I found that it also works well for poison ivy, pimples, and other assorted skin problems.
