Review on 💋 DocoShield Cold Sore Prevention Lip Balm with Docosanol and Lysine - 3 Pack by Wanda Johns

This is NOT an FDA approved product (yes, that's what it says on the box). Just in case I wanted to try it and see if it might work - no, it didn't. The product stung more than the original FDA standard product (ie just regular Abreva) - causing redness, itching and possibly contributing to the condition. I do not endorse this product. I'm sure others might find this product really helpful - well that's great and I'm happy for you. I don't think taking docosanol all the time is a good idea - it's like taking antibiotics all the time and that will only cause the virus to mutate and become resistant to docosanol. (If you're not the type who breaks out every other week, you may need to use this remedy all the time.) For other people who don't break out often, it's probably best to stay away. Thanks very much!
