Product Details

It is a recurrent remedy for herpes labialis that contains the antiviral ingredient acyclovir. Acyclovir acts directly on the virus that causes cold sores to improve symptoms. Herpes labialis is caused by an infection with the herpes virus. Once infected, the virus will remain in the body even if the symptoms subside, and it will recur due to colds, fever, stress, fatigue, and UV rays.
If you feel any discomfort due to tingling or tingling, it is recommended to apply it immediately.

Efficacy
 Recurrence of cold sores (limited to those who have been diagnosed and treated by a doctor in the past)
[Explanation]
Herpes labialis is a disease caused by infection with the herpes virus. Once infected, the virus does not disappear when the symptoms of herpes subside, but it lurks in nerve cells. When you feel sick due to a cold, stress, fatigue, etc., you will continue to have precursor symptoms such as tingling and tingling (a sign of recurrence), red swelling, and blisters. In this way, when a hidden virus begins to rampage due to something, it is called a recurrence.
