QuantumHealth Lip Clear Invisible Cold Sore Bandage, Fever Blister Patch - Patch Soothes and Protects, Hides Cold Sores, Helps Prevent Contamination, 12 Ct

helped keep my cold sore clean, easy to use and hard to see

Love these for my blisters. They help heal quickly and cover up the mess. Yes you can see them but at least you’re not worried about anything touching your lip while you have a sore.

I put one on a cold sore and within 24 hours, the patch was bubbling up and looking weird. It looked worse than my cold sore on its own, so I started to peel it off, and it stuck to my cold sore scab that was forming. It ripped the scab off of my lip and hurt like heck, and took another week to heal. I am not only disappointed in the product, I'm angry they make a product that can hurt you.

This isn’t a magic patch that will turn invisible when put on a cold sore. However, when I put the patch on it completely made it disappear and the patch is ALMOST invisible. You can tell it’s there but I don’t think anyone would notice unless they are staring. It’s been healing faster than my past cold sores I’ve had. I don’t like the sticky residue that stays when you peel it off. Other than that. I would definitely get again!

Worth every penny, will help it clear up AT LEAST 3 days quicker then usual

These are better than nothing, but I much prefer the Compeed brand. Compeed's are thinner, stick on much better, and are truly invisible. This Quantum Health version is too thick to be invisible--- the edges of the bandage don't vanish, in fact they can stick up a bit, wheras that just doesn't happen with Compeed. Compeed is almost as thin as a piece of Tegaderm, if you're familiar with that product, but Tegaderm doesn't make a cold sore bandage. Compeed brand bandage is also a tiny bit larger than Quantum, which makes it more versatile, because it works equally well on small or large sores. Both brands remove easily, and take makeup well. I use Compeed's to cover up occasional acne breakout as well, because I don't like putting makeup over a pimple, it's not sanitary, it never looks very convincing, and makes it hard for the breakout to heal. So I just apply a dab of tea tree oil to the pimple, pop on a cold sore bandage and then put the concealer makeup over top. It works perfectly, completely hides the breakout, and the pimple is healed within a shorter time. Same routine for a cold sore, try it!

I've never written a review before but these are great. I suffer from both cold sores and blisters because I'm allergic to jalapeño and raw ginger. Normally I use abreva and deal with 7-10 days of sores scabs and ugliness and it always spreads because you can't eat from a straw all the time. Just only 3 days and it seems like it hasn't spread or turned into a full blister and I can see it's started to heal already. I did have difficulty the first time putting it on and it got worse when I had to peel it off but then I read up that it's best to take it off with water and just stretch the edges which really worked. Key is to leave it on as long as possible to mitigate the stickiness and change it less frequently(which I was changing every few hours and found it unnecessary) the last two days I just dressed it once daily. I also made a natural oil mix of lemon balm, tea tree, peppermint and lavender with a tiny bit of grape seed oil that I would put as a topical solution on my lip to air it out for an hour so that it would be dry to apply the patch on. Combo seems effective and I can't believe At day 3 it has subsided and there's no blister pain. The patches are good because it protects my lip from irritants like dampness, smoke, eating and drinking and salad dressings which I think is key to containing the sores. Awesome product and I just bought another pack and also am going to try that other brand compeed to see the differences

These bandages are small and might work for covering tiny spots, but they don’t stick well. My cold sore was larger, and it wouldn’t stay on. Maybe good for smaller areas, but not super reliable for larger ones. Did not work for me.
