How to apply the patch
Advantages:
Each COMPEED® Invisible Cold Herpes Patch offers seven important benefits in treating and eliminating cold sores.
1. Act fast.
To ensure proper moisture levels in the wound, the patch facilitates the transport of nutrients. This stimulates the healing mechanism of the skin, speeding up the healing process. Although the action of the patch differs from that of a cream containing 5% acyclovir, it has been clinically proven that patches provide a comparable healing time *.
