Zovirax

I hate cold sores! It's not that they're unsightly (although they are); I hate them because they're really painful. Just thinking, for example about eating crisps and catching the cold sore with the edge, makes me wince! The pain is worst when the blisters first come out, any touch hurts. I'm actually getting rid of one now, which encouraged me to write this review (but you probably didn't want to know that!). The cold sore virus 'hides' in the nerve endings around the mouth and is activated by a trigger. This can be after a common cold (hence the name, of course), stress, or the one that seems to affect me most, sunlight (this is a complete pain if we happen ...  Read the complete review

Review: Zovirax - 2g Pump This review is for any of you who suffer from cold sore flares or will do in the future. Introduction Seeing as up to 85% of people have the "Herpes Simplex Virus no.1" laying dormant in their nerve cells until it's triggered by any of the many daily triggers that will cause it to become active. I am sure that many of you can relate to me when I say a "cold sore" really makes you feel down. The symptoms of a cold sore are: • A tingling sensation around the mouth and lip areas. • Small and painful, fluid-filled blisters on a raised, red, painful area of your skin. ...  Read the complete review

I suppose Cornflake Girl is a strange title for a review about Zovirax, but believe me, it is a very apt name for me when I have a cold sore because basically it looks like I've got a cornflake stuck on my upper lip. Cold sores - the bane of my life. Some people find that sunlight triggers them, some find that cold weather triggers them . For me, arranging a good night out with my mates triggers them. Come rain or shine, if I'm going somewhere special, have just met a potential boyfriend or have a presentation to do at work then my ever so trusty cold sore appears. With that, I become "Cornflake Girl" and have the superhero powers ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I was young, I have always suffered from cold sores (and I mean suffered). When Zovirax first came out a few years back, I thought it was a bit pricey compared to blisstex, which I had used before but that hadn't really worked. However, out of sheer desperation after yet another break out and after trying the Compeed patches (which don't work) I thought it was worth a try and so I bought it. I can honestly say it was a great day when I did that because my life has been basically cold sore free ever since. I get cold sores if I'm stressed out, run down, upset, you name it and I'll have a cold sore 3 days after, but Zovirax is my new secret weapon. I ...  Read the complete review

I do suffer from cold sores but after finally getting round to purchasing Zovirax Cold Sore cream I do think that I have suffered for nothing. I was quite surprised because the product actually works. I have seen the advert for Zovirax and it seems so easy, but can it really be that easy I thought? Well, it was. When I feared a cold sore coming on, the symptom was quite easily diagnosable. A tingly feeling at the edge of the nose, near your eyes or near your lip. That’s the sign to get that Zovirax cream out. It is very easy to apply. Just dab a tiny amount on your finger and gently apply on the affected area. If you have ignored your ...  Read the complete review
