With ABREVA®, it's almost like getting two treatments in one! When you apply ABREVA, the first thing you’ll notice is that it immediately soothes the discomfort and irritation of a cold sore.

Then, the medicine in ABREVA goes deep in the skin to actually change the structure of the cell membranes that surround healthy skin cells. ABREVA turns them into barriers against the cold sore virus, making it harder for the virus to spread.

Because ABREVA is the only over-the-counter cold sore medicine that contains 10% Docosonal, it does more than other lip treatments. It treats the discomfort on the surface, then works from the inside out to speed healing.
