Product Details

Abreva 10% Docosanol is designed to help shorten the healing time of cold sores. Formulated with 10% docosanol, it alleviates symptoms including tingling, pain, burning, and itching when used at the first sign of a cold sore. This cream penetrates deeply, creating a barrier around healthy skin cells to prevent the spread of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).

This nonprescription cold sore medication has been clinically proven to reduce healing time to as few as 2.5 days when applied at the first sign. Users reported a median healing time of 4.1 days. Apply the cream five times a day until the cold sore is fully healed, for a maximum of 10 days.
