Do you get cold sores? In my family, both Bill and I suffer from them. I luck out — I only get them most of the time when I'm pregnant. I occasionally will randomly get them. Bill, on the other hand, gets every time the weather changes. Since we are having crazy weather here in Chicago, cold sores seem to be a bigger issue this year.
One of the weapons in our arsenal to get rid of cold sores is Abreva. For us, it is a product that just works. Abreva® is the only over-the-counter medication approved by the FDA that is proven to shorten healing time of a cold sore. In our experience, I can say that is true. Abreva® is the number one pharmacist recommended over-the-counter cold sore treatment that penetrates deep to the root of your cold sore to heal it fast. Abreva® also helps block the spread of the virus to healthy cells. We literally should have stock in this company. Bill has a tube of Abreva in his car. He has another tube of Abreva in his desk at work. We also have a tube of Abreva in our medicine cabinet. This is one of those products that we've been using for a long time, so I can tell you that it really does work.
Next time you have a cold sore, try Abreva® risk free. If you aren't completely satisfied with Abreva® for any reason, save your receipt and remaining product, and call 1-877-709-3539 to get your money back.
To use it, just apply Abreva® directly to your cold sore at the first sign of a tingle, redness, bump or itch for best results. Abreva® is recommended for adults and children 12 years and over, and should be used exactly as directed: five times a day until your cold sore is healed, for a maximum of 10 days.
Since Abreva is such a great product, I have arranged for one lucky reader of mine to win a $25 Amazon gift card. Here's what you need to do:
