- Look out for the Zovirax Cold Sore Cream antiviral treatment – it works against the cold sore virus – nothing works faster.
- Many cold sore creams, available from most pharmacies or supermarkets, are mild antiseptics or moisturisers to help the natural healing process. They don’t fight the virus itself.
In Zovirax Cold Sore Cream, aciclovir the antiviral active ingredient – is delivered in a specially formulated cream containing an absorption accelerator. This ensures the active ingredient is carried through the skin, over the cold sore, and into the area where the virus is reproducing. Once it reaches this area the active ingredient springs into action – which makes it difficult for the virus to reproduce itself. When that happens your body’s natural defences can get to work and make the cold sore disappear. The cream also contains ingredients to moisturise deep within the skin to soothe and protect.
It’s better to start treatment with Zovirax Cold Sore Cream as soon as possible because at the start, there is less virus around. However, the antiviral and moisturising properties of Zovirax Cold Sore Cream means it’s effective at the blister and tingle phase.
