“Cold sores are painful, unsightly blisters that form on the lips or just outside the mouth as a result of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSVI). While many people may carry this virus (it lies dormant in some), upwards of 60 million people get cold sores annually as a result. Cold sores can last for up to two weeks, in some cases, and are very contagious. The virus can be spread through kissing, touching, sharing cups and utensils, towels, etc. Cold sores can be triggered by sunlight, arginine rich foods, fever, illness, stress, food allergies and hormonal changes. In addition to being embarrassing for sufferers, cold sores are often very painful, causing itching, burning and other discomfort.
While there is no cure for HSV1 and resulting cold sores, the best solution is to heal them as quickly as possible. LIP CLEAR Lysine+ Cold Sore Treatment utilizes the active zinc oxide, as well as lysine – an essential amino acid – and 14 other natural ingredients to help treat cold sores faster; according the a Southern California University of Health Sciences study:
~LIP CLEAR Lysine+ reduced the duration of cold sores by 50% or more compared to untreated cold sores
~Median time to complete cold sore healing was four days
~Cold sores treated with LIP CLEAR Lysine+ healed faster than with leading OTC or prescription brands costing three to five times more
~Within three days, cold sore symptoms that were either completely eliminated or dramatically reduced, including tingling, burning, itching, tenderness, prickling, soreness and blistering
~A remarkable 40% of the participants had full cure by the end of the day.
LIP CLEAR Lysine+ is an all-natural ointment made with natural ingredients…Â Ingredients include:Â zinc oxide, vitamins A, D, and E in a natural base of olive oil, yellow beeswax, goldenseal extract, propolis extract, calendula extract, etc.
Suggested retail price is $6.99 for a 7-gram tube.”
I was sent a tube for review, but I haven’t gotten to check it out yet – no cold sores so far this season! I’m thankful for the clear lips, but I’ll be glad to have LIP CLEAR Lysine+ on hand if a cold sore pops up.
One of you will win your own tube of LIP CLEAR Lysine+ Cold Sore Treatment to deal with all your cold sore conundrums!

My husband gets sores if he accidentally bites the inside of his mouth and it gets infected. I’ve had it happen once and it is Not fun!! So I’d give it to him to help with the pain!

Kristin H., the sores your hubby gets are actually canker sores (vs. cold sores) which occur when you bite or irritate the inside of your mouth/cheek, for instance. He would really benefit from our Canker Cover product (www.cankercover.com), which provides a patch covering to protect the canker sore and help treat it!
