People use different products for a cold sore, such as medicines, antiviral creams, zinc ointments or home remedies.

The unique zinc formula of SoreFix Rescue is a alternative to many products such as antiviral creams with aciclovir or penciclovir. The unique zinc formula works in all phases of a cold sore. From the first tingling to the scab! If you cannot start treatment immediately at the first symptoms, SoreFix Rescue is still effective in the other phases.

Unlike aciclovir creams, there is no risk of resistance development when using a zinc cream. This makes it a suitable long-term treatment for people who regularly suffer from cold sores.

Yes! SoreFix Rescue is active and effective in all 4 phases of a cold sore, including when the blisters are already visible.

For best results, apply the cream 3 to 6 times daily to the affected area of the lips to prevent further spread of the virus. Apply the cream when the first symptoms appear (tingling, throbbing, painful and burning sensation) until the cold sore (including the scabs) has completely disappeared. It is recommended to always wash your hands before and after applying the cream. When using lipstick, it is advised to apply SoreFix Rescue cold sore cream at least 15 minutes beforehand.

Most cold sores heal without leaving permanent scars. However, there are situations where a scar can occur.

Scars from a cold sore mainly occur when the skin is severely damaged, for example by scratching or removing scabs. A cold sore that bursts and bleeds can also cause scars.

SoreFix Rescue keeps the scab soft and flexible so that it cannot crack and you are less likely to remove a dry scab.

Sometimes the skin becomes infected with bacteria, causing the inflammation to worsen, which can lead to deeper skin damage and therefore a higher chance of scarring.

SoreFix Rescue forms a protective layer on the skin and inhibits bacterial growth. This protects the blisters against external irritation, friction, and further infection by bacteria.
