DocoShield Lip Balm w/Docosanol and Lysine (3-Pack)

Doco is one of those products that has no real competition, nor does it need any. It always shortens my cold sores significantly, or stops them early. According to Amazon, I've bought this 7 times. That number will go up. I will continue to use only this for as long as they're around. If you've found this review while trying to make a decision, I can tell you that this is it.

I've been using DocoShield Lip Balm with Lysine for a number of years. Before that, I used the Doco Lip Balm without the Lysine. I do prefer it with Lysine. My lips are NEVER dry anymore. I suffer from acute bouts of oral thrush due to my dentures and implants. One of the symptoms is cracked skin at the corners of my mouth. Doco is the ONLY product that soothes my aching lips and cracked skin. I love it. HIGHLY recommend. It was recommended to me by one of my clients. I have now given it to my adult son, who loves it. I read where some of the reviewers received the flawed product - the lip balm either fell apart upon use or did not have a smooth consistency. I personally have never received a flawed shipment of DocoShield. Those who did receive a flawed shipment, perhaps you should reorder. I truly never have had a bad batch.

I very rarely get cold sores so these were recommended to me by a friend who gets them frequently. The texture of the lip balm is heavier and thicker than a regular lip balm, and it’s great as a preventative especially at night. The moment I overhype myself and think I’m getting a cold sore (most of the time it’s just a regular itch), I slather this on just in case.

I still get cold sores whilst using this, but they are smaller and do not last very long. The balm itself isn't as moisturizing as other brands. The scent in delightful.

OK so I've been using this for a while now. I got it back in September and it's August now. I still have no idea if it's actually helping with preventing cold sores. I haven't had one yet (I usually get them once a year so it'll be soon if it's going to happen) but I do want to say that I pick this out to take with me every day (I have a tonnnn of different types of lip balm lol) because I love it so much. It has a nice kind of vanilla-y scent and it's very moisturizing and glides nicely on my lips. Just be careful not to put on too much because there is a white cast. But you won't need much. Im also glad that it comes in a pack of 3 because I carry it with me everywhere I go so I've either lost or washed several lol. It gets soft easy when it's in your pocket and (like all twist up lip balms) it will start to screw upwards under the lid. So if it's hot out and it's been in your pocket be sure to screw it back down before applying it. I've had one completely break off because I didn't do that. One way to help prevent that is to put it in a tiny zip up pouch and put that in your pocket (if you like to carry it in your pocket) so that it protects rhe twist up part from.veing manipulated through being rubbed around in your pocket.

This chapstick is the best preventative for cold sores. Prior to finding this lip balm, I was using many expensive over the counter remedies that never seemed to actually reduce the cold sore frequency, duration or intensity. I use this product daily and keep one by my bed, in my purse, and in my car. Since using it a few times a day for a year, I have yet to get a cold sore like I used to. If I do start to develop one, I use the lip balm every few hours and the cold sore never fully develops. I highly recommend this product if you are looking to find a preventative treatment and to reduce the duration/intensity of cold sores. **This is seriously a life saver during the cold and flu season and winter time. You will finally be free of the dreading a cold sore around the holidays

This is the only medicated lip balm that works for me. I have a severe reaction to citrus. When ever I eat raw citrus fruit; especially pineapple I get a lip sore (cold sore). If there is a small weakness/abrasion on the spot where my skin meets my lip the citrus acid will enter it and BANG a cold sore forms. Not just a simple cold sore but a long lasting compound scabbing sore. The only thing that helps heal is Abreva but I have to apply it every 30 minutes till I feel it healing which takes a few days. It is also very small with a big price. I have been looking for a prevention solution. I tried other lip balms but they only dried out my lips and I had to reapply every 20 minutes or my lips will start to over dry and start to peel or crack opening me up for any future sores. Then I found DocoShield. THIS is the only product that works for me. I has protected my lips. Does not dry out my lips and I can stop using it if I want and start if I'm feeling a bit insecure. It just works for me. PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT!!!!

This is an amazing lip balm with the added benefit of being daily gentle protection from HSV outbreaks. Unlike many, it stays in place with no melting all over your face. It lasted through a shower and overnight, and my lips feel softer since I've started using it. Will buy again regularly!

This stuff works!! I use it everyday and haven’t got a cold sore in months whereas I normally get one once a month just before my cycle starts

I’ve been using this lip balm consistently for about 3–4 months now, and I haven’t had a cold sore outbreak since I started. That alone makes it worth it for me. It’s also really moisturizing and keeps my lips from getting dry or cracked. I like that it feels smooth going on and isn’t too thick or sticky. It has a light fruity smell, which makes it pleasant to use without being overpowering.

I’ve used lots of different options. this absolutely works! Love that it comes in a 3 pack I always keep one in my bedroom for night, purse for going out, and a spare in the bathroom. phenomenal product !

Amazing lip balm. Just love it. Highly recommended

Wind and sun is a big trigger for me. And I was recently in an out door trip that brought both in full force. On my way home my upper and lower lip broke out badly. I find ice and hydrogen peroxide help tremendously but usually chap stick makes the blisters worse. But this one has been completely different! I still ice and use hydrogen peroxide but I can use this to prevent my lips from cracking and it has helped with healing. It tastes and smells nice and it stays on for a long time. It's been 3 days since the outbreak and they are almost completely gone. I can't say that this is the reason but it did help. I look forward to seeing if it does actually prevent it also.
