Definitely recommend

I’ve had cold sores for as long as I can remember and tried every cream/gel/remedy out there .
I ordered Lipivir in November, since I started using it I have not had a single breakout . I work outside so get dry lips and whenever I do I will almost always get a break out, especially this time of year .
I have had a couple of tingles and used the product and by the next day there were gone and never turned into a full sore .
Would definitely recommend.

I suffered regular cold sores until I used Lipivir and can honestly say it is absolutely marvellous. I have been cold sore free since using Lipivir and would highly recommend this product.

Excellent product, game changer.

I’ve used this for about 6 months now and it really works.

This is my original story softer the first use: I’m a regular sufferer, the pain is insane & I feel so down when I get cold sores.

I had an outbreak immediately after one had finished, I could feel it & I recognised it as one which would take roughly half of my lower lip, similar ones in the past have actually scarred my lip. The sore had started developing (roughly 2 days in) before I could get your cream on it.

I could cry. Four days further in, there was only the smallest break in my skin, which is just unbelievable. I have taken ibuprofen for the pain & swelling, though aesthetically the sore caused not issues, which is startling. The most obvious time was after my nights sleep, usually this is when the sore would be most aggressive, your cream stopped that from being the case.

I took advantage of the offer on your website and as such, opted for the bigger tube. I did apply liberally though I’m convinced it would be just as effective with a tiny drop, as you recommend.

Within 7 days, everything had gone, my lip was normal again, and in all of that time your cream had stopped the sore from breaking out, kept the swelling down to almost anything (I usually look like I’ve been punched!) and soothed the sore too.

Going back to your website, I appreciate that you’ve finessed this solution so that it works, which it does (I won’t be using any other product for certain). Though I’m worried that people who look on your site for testimonials may worry that those written are too good to be true. They are not, based on my experience & I’d be very happy to field any queries for potential users.

6 months later, nothing has changed. This product is excellent. I’ve used this for about 6 ,moths now, may latest purchase is in the screen shot, I had to include this or I couldn’t leave the review, so you can see how recent it is.

Dear Nicola,

thank you for getting in touch and hope you're keeping well in the current circumstances.

We're sorry to hear that your first experience of the product hasn't been positive. May I ask how much and how often you had been applying the product before the breakout occurred?

It would be good to know more about your circumstances, as this will enable us to be of better assistance. You can contact us here or via info@lipivir.com.

Kind regards, the lipivir® Team

The best product for preventing cold sores!

I’ve tried so many different cold sore products which have not helped me at all, and since using this cream for over a month I’ve not had a single cold sore, compared to previously having them every other week for a year and a half!

5 stars all the way for lipivir. The only stuff that works for my cold sores. All of the usual brands don't work as well. This is revolutionary and thank god there's something out now that actually works really well and not take weeks to clear up.

Dear Lesley,
Thank you for getting in touch and hope you are keeping well in the current circumstances.

A 2g tube typically lasts 1-2 months when applied daily, as directed. By comparison, our 5g tubes last 4 months. All that is required to achieve lipivir’s preventative effect is a small, pin-sized drop around the lip line and the area that is normally affected by cold sores, once in the morning and evening.

In case useful, the annual cost of applying lipivir every day would come to £92 (4 x 5g tubes), equaling just under £8 a month, including postage and packaging.

Hope that helps and that you have a good experience with the product, but do let us know if you have any further questions, happy to help!
Kind regards,
The lipivir® Team

I’ve not had a cold sore for 9 month using this daily. I always get one in the summer and again in September when the weather changes, and not one! It absorbs well and makeup goes on well after application. Highly recommend!

Love the product. I'm a nhs nurse (and I wear full ppe daily) which really doesn't help when you have an attach of the dreaded coldsore. I have been using this daily for about 6 weeks and I'm extremely pleased that I havnt even suffered a tingle.

I would and have recommended this to my friends and even patients.

Can't praise this product enough
