What can help? Read below.

Catch It Early

The key to fighting cold sores is acting fast. Most cold sores start with a telltale tingle, itch, or slight burning sensation. As soon as you notice these signs, purchase and apply Propovir Cold Sore Cream.

Use Cold Compresses

A quick and easy way to relieve discomfort is by applying a cold compress or ice to the area. This helps reduce swelling and soothe the pain while you wait for Propovir to heal the cold sore.

Stick with Propovir

Consistency is crucial for effective cold sore treatment. For best results, apply Propovir up to five times daily. This formula supports healing at every stage, from the first tingle to a blister—reducing discomfort and speeding recovery by up to four days.​

Hands Off

As tempting as it may be, avoid touching or picking at the sore. This can make things worse by spreading the virus or prolonging the healing time. Always wash your hands after applying any treatment.

Stay Hydrated and Protect Your Lips

Cold sores can worsen if your lips are dry or irritated. Keep your lips moisturised with a hydrating lip balm, and make sure it contains SPF if you’re spending time outdoors. Sun exposure is a common trigger for cold sores, so this step is essential​

Please note that Propovir does NOT contain any SPF factor.

Keep Stress in Check

Cold sores often appear when you're feeling stressed or fatigued. To help prevent them, aim to manage stress, prioritise restful sleep, and eat a balanced diet to strengthen your immune system.

Why Choose Propovir?

Propovir is packed with propolis extract, which boasts antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.

It’s a powerful yet natural solution for cold sores, working to reduce healing time, ease pain, and stop the virus from spreading. By applying it at the first sign of trouble, you can stop cold sores in their tracks and heal faster​.
