Review: Lifesaver! Worth Every Penny if You Catch It Early - I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but Abreva honestly deserves 5 stars. If you deal with cold sores, you know how frustrating and uncomfortable they can be—and this stuff works. The key is applying it as soon as you feel that first tingle. Don’t wait for the blister to appear. I caught mine early and it barely even surfaced. It healed in just a couple of days, and it never got painful or crusty like they usually do. The pump is super convenient—more sanitary than the little tubes, and easy to toss in a bag or pocket. A few tips to get the best results: Apply at the very first sign (tingle, itch, tightness)—it makes a huge difference. Use a clean finger or cotton swab to apply—don’t double dip! Reapply throughout the day, even if it seems like it’s gone. Consistency helps it heal faster. It’s pricey for the size, but you really only need a tiny amount each time. Cold sores are never fun, but this makes them way more manageable. I keep one of these on hand at all times now—totally worth the investment. Notes: Make sure it is made in Germany, not India. There are many fake ones out there. Beware: Do NOT buy many at once. These have short expiration dates.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you get the last bit of the medicine out of the pump? With my makeup that comes in a pump, I can take the lid out and use a cotton swab, etc.**
A: I take a pair of pliers and wiggle the blue top part of the pump off. There's quite a bit left in there when you do.

**Q: Is pump better then tube**
A: I prefer the tube. More control, less waste. Pump is a metered dose that's a pretty big glob. Abreva works best if you get started at earliest sign of flare-up.

**Q: Can you use on the inside of your lip?**
A: If you have a cold sore you only need apply it to where the cold sore is on the outside. It will heal the coldsore just fine. Abreva works really well to absorb and locate the virus. If you only have a sore inside, this may not be a cold sore at all and may require a doctor to evaluate.

**Q: Is the delivery timely?**
A: Yes
