Quantum Health Lip Clear Discreet Cold Sore Healing Patches, 12 Bandages

These cold sore patches work really well! They are easy to apply, stay in place for hours, and help protect the area while it heals. I like that they are very discreet and almost invisible on the skin. They also help reduce irritation and make me feel more comfortable during the healing process. A very useful product to keep at home and definitely worth buying!

I've never written a review before but these are great. I suffer from both cold sores and blisters because I'm allergic to jalapeño and raw ginger. Normally I use abreva and deal with 7-10 days of sores scabs and ugliness and it always spreads because you can't eat from a straw all the time. Just only 3 days and it seems like it hasn't spread or turned into a full blister and I can see it's started to heal already. I did have difficulty the first time putting it on and it got worse when I had to peel it off but then I read up that it's best to take it off with water and just stretch the edges which really worked. Key is to leave it on as long as possible to mitigate the stickiness and change it less frequently(which I was changing every few hours and found it unnecessary) the last two days I just dressed it once daily. I also made a natural oil mix of lemon balm, tea tree, peppermint and lavender with a tiny bit of grape seed oil that I would put as a topical solution on my lip to air it out for an hour so that it would be dry to apply the patch on. Combo seems effective and I can't believe At day 3 it has subsided and there's no blister pain. The patches are good because it protects my lip from irritants like dampness, smoke, eating and drinking and salad dressings which I think is key to containing the sores. Awesome product and I just bought another pack and also am going to try that other brand compeed to see the differences

This isn’t a magic patch that will turn invisible when put on a cold sore. However, when I put the patch on it completely made it disappear and the patch is ALMOST invisible. You can tell it’s there but I don’t think anyone would notice unless they are staring. It’s been healing faster than my past cold sores I’ve had. I don’t like the sticky residue that stays when you peel it off. Other than that. I would definitely get again!

These are worth every single penny! First off, cold sores are disgusting. Everyone that gets them are embarrassed by them and do everything in their power to hide them. They generally come from stress which doesn't help because normally it's right before a big event when you get one. This week I just so happened to get 2, double stress I guess. My first one, I used zilactin, as that always dries it up the first day and then there is just a huge scab on my lip for a week. So that one was over and done with and then I just so happened to get a row of bumps across my lower lip just as my other one disappeared. Wth! So I resorted to online looking where I came across these suckers! First off, I'm so thankful for this product and the fact Amazon had them delivered to me the same day I ordered them. Second, holy crap they cover cold sores like no other. They say that you can use them with makeup and lip gloss but they are so discreet that I don't even need to. Yes they are the tiniest bit noticeable but I'd much rather people see this than my big ugly cold sore! For wearing, I put one one last evening when I got it and ate dinner with it and had drinks. It never budged. I slept with it and the same through breakfast without issue. I pulled it off this morning to clean it and change it and again, it hides everything. I am so happy I found this product. I have already sent it to my sister and she is going to send it to her friend who also gets stubborn cold sores. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Buy this!!!

What a great product idea! Too bad it only stays put for a very short period of time. I was very excited to get these. I talk to people all day every day and a big ugly cold sore on your face. I placed one on while getting ready for work. It looked great. Then I got to work and started talking to people (about 40 minutes after getting ready at home). One of my co-workers pointed to her lip to indicate I should take a look at mine. How embarrassing! It had lifted around all of the edges and looked horrible. I tried several different ways throughout the course of my cold sore. What I found was if you try to use them when the bumpy blister has formed (the phase you want to hide the most), look for another way to conceal it. After bumps, blisters, scabs, etc. have gone away, then it sticks very well. I can cover that with makeup. Thank you Quantum Health for the effort but I cannot recommend this product and would not purchase it again.

These are better than nothing, but I much prefer the Compeed brand. Compeed's are thinner, stick on much better, and are truly invisible. This Quantum Health version is too thick to be invisible--- the edges of the bandage don't vanish, in fact they can stick up a bit, wheras that just doesn't happen with Compeed. Compeed is almost as thin as a piece of Tegaderm, if you're familiar with that product, but Tegaderm doesn't make a cold sore bandage. Compeed brand bandage is also a tiny bit larger than Quantum, which makes it more versatile, because it works equally well on small or large sores. Both brands remove easily, and take makeup well. I use Compeed's to cover up occasional acne breakout as well, because I don't like putting makeup over a pimple, it's not sanitary, it never looks very convincing, and makes it hard for the breakout to heal. So I just apply a dab of tea tree oil to the pimple, pop on a cold sore bandage and then put the concealer makeup over top. It works perfectly, completely hides the breakout, and the pimple is healed within a shorter time. Same routine for a cold sore, try it!

Quantum Health Lip Clear came through when I needed it. It helps soothe the pain and itching quickly, and I noticed my cold sore healing faster than usual. The best part is it goes on clear and blends in well, so it’s not obvious you’re treating anything. It doesn’t sting, and it’s easy to reapply throughout the day. Definitely keeping this on hand for any future flare-ups.

These work well. They hurt taking them off . But they do the trick. Keep them on for a few hours and remove . Keep in mind . Everyone is different. What works for one , may not work for someone else.

Ça fonctionne pour moi , très satisfaite

Not invisible that’s what you need to know. It’s basically translucent and the edge is very visible. Except putting on some sort of lipstick, you’re not hiding much of anything. It’s also not the easiest to take it off the paper before application. Maybe still useful as a barrier to put sunscreen on and protect against further injury but won’t get my hopes up.

I don’t know if I would consider wearing these out of the house. But I think they are helpful to use at night. It will keep your cold sore from breaking open, and leaking on your pillow. This waltz them it will lead to foster healing. So I think it’s worthwhile for that alone. I haven’t tried putting make up over top but I see how these could work in a pinch if you were going to a special event or something. They are expensive but for me I will spend any amount of money to make a cold sore go away faster…

For a normal size cold sore along the lip line or other dry surface, these are Ana amazing. To the point where i got to slip the scaly yellow phase bc it was so good at absorbing the viral secretions. On cold sores inside the lip or on a moist membrane- of course not as good, but still can be attached to a dry area or layered with two to provide some coverage. It was important to me to cover to protect my baby. In summary, if you are looking for function (absorption, a barrier) this is a good product. If you are looking for cosmetic coverage or a thinner product to apply makeup over, try the Compeed brand- they are larger, but thinner and less absorbent.
