This was much more effective then any other topical product I’ve used.

I loved the roller ball. I really liked this product!!! Where else can I get it?
Patricia State: AL
This product might have lessened the healing time. It was gone 5 or 6 days later from outbreak. In the past some outbreaks have taken 14 days or longer.
Bonnie State: AZ
I totally loved this product. In the beginning I didn’t breakout much just one little blister. I found when I put it on, it soothed the area. But was very messy and would get all over the place not just in that one area. I would apply every couple of hours or every time I went to the bathroom. It was gone within 2-3 days. When can I get some more to try again?? I would definitely purchase this product as well just tell me how.

The odor is a bit much, but it took about the same amount of time to heal the outbreak as my prescription med.
Abby State: AZ
This product did not affect the length of my outbreak, but it did control the size of it. This product worked better for me than the prescription drug Valtrex. I rated it a 7 because it did not shorten the length of my outbreak. That is the only problem I had. This product does reduce the size and pain of my outbreak, and that it why I would like to keep using it. Usually my outbreak spread passed my lip onto my skin and becomes bubbly and really inflamed. This product diminished the size of my outbreak, and kept it from bubbling up and becoming inflamed. It made my outbreak much less noticeable and less painful.
Candis State: AZ
The roller ball was great. Used for reoccurring shingles, it did seem to lessen the duration of the outbreak.
Laura State: AZ
This is the only product that appears to have worked for me. I have only tried other topical treatments, no prescriptions. I definitely prefer the roller ball design over the kind that squeeze out. There's no chance of making a mess with this.
Kimberly State: AZ
Still applying about twice a day, but tingling has stopped and no blister has formed. I usually get a blister within hours of the tingling. So, I am very excited that this is working for me, especially since I have company right now. This does sting and has a strong taste, but nothing compared to actually breaking out with a cold sore. The roller ball worked out fine, but I did worry about germ build up, but maybe this should be replaced after every break out.
Rose State: CA
I am amazed at this product...I recently started to feel the coming of a breakout and I applied the product which stopped it in its tracks! Awesome! Thank you soooo much! I have had recurring outbreaks, over 16, in 2008. This product gave me instant relief before the breakout and the smell is pleasant.

I believe Citrumed to be the best solution to my herpes problem. None of the other creams I used came close to how this worked. It inhibits the growth and length of time the herpes warts exist. I am constantly applying it and thank you again. I will continue to use it.
John State: CA
I did find the product to be a bit uncomfortable BUT, it works!! I have had herpes simplex 1 for as long as I can remember. Mostly cold sores as a child, and then vaginal outbreaks as a teen (diagnosed by my MD as type 1). I have tried EVERYTHING on the market and nothing has helped until now.
Sean State: CA
For previous cold sore outbreaks I used Denavir (penciclovir cream 1%). For this outbreak starting on 26 Feb, I only used the product shipped by you. I found the results to be similar if not slightly better than Denavir. Without any medication, my cold sores usually last about 6-9 days. Denavir cuts that to about 5 days. With your product, it was clear in 4 days.
Richard State: CA
I applied the product immediately when I noticed sores starting to appear one morning. As was suggested, I applied the product generously approximately every hour during waking hours. It did not take much more than 24 hours for the sores to disappear. I have used Zovirax ointment for about 20 years and Valtrex tablets for about 15. This product worked faster than either of them. In summary, the product was very effective and worked more quickly than others, was convenient, and had minimal side effects (brief stinging after applied).
Barbara State: CA
I really liked it. It was much better than the prescription stuff I use. I liked the 'stinging sensation'. It healed my cold sore much faster than my usual medicine. My friends thought so also.
Nicole State: CA
Thank you for showing me this product. I don't like conventional products because they tend to burn or feel weird. It was very natural feeling and helped the outbreak to heal. I like the roller ball design very much.
Charles State: CA
The roller-ball was great. This product was amazing. I would love to get more of it. It was unbelievable how quickly irritated areas healed up and/or provided less discomfort. This to me felt like a temporary cure and it smelled great too.
Michele State: CA
I applied it every hour. I kept it in my pocket as a reminder and so I wouldn't miss place it. I stopped using it after 2 days because the outbreak went away. I really enjoyed the roller-ball design. I don't like using the products that I have to dip my finger into.
Ashley State: CA
It feels like a good addition to other medications for cold sores, I don't think I'd replace my oral medication with it, but I like it much better than Abreva. It's hard to directly compare any two outbreaks, but I've never felt like Abreva has done much. Part of this is just there's no visceral sensation when using Abreva, but also because I've never noticed it shortening the time of outbreak. So I would say more effective than Abreva. It has an interesting smell and the slight burn really made it feel like it was working. The tingling was far preferable to itching. It seemed to speed up the sore process, moving from prodromal to scab in 12 hours. The delivery mechanism is good and not messy.
Jessica State: CA
I applied it all most every hour because it drys it up and the sooner it goes away. It worked better than other products - it dried it up real fast. I liked the rollon ball a lot its better then a cream.
Chris State: CA
I applied the product to my lips(?) Right between my lips towards the inside of my mouth. I would definitely use this product again! As I mentioned before I haven't been religious in applying the solution hourly but if it is most useful for your research that I a) do so & b) log application times I can do that also. Like I said before it sure beats the hell out of hiding out for a week! I've only been using it for 2-3 days now but I'm really excited about as well as optimistic! I usually "handle" outbreaks via high concentration acyclovir taken orally & by handle I mean if I catch the burning/here it comes again sensation before bedtime ( I often confuse it with physical injury given the infrequency of my outbreaks ) it seems to do a decent job of forestalling or lessening the symptoms but if not it dries up in time more quickly than without. But obviously I'm not very happy with the acyclovir or else I wouldn't be willing to completely forgo it to try something else. And also I've never really had an "outbreak" manifest inside my mouth. Thanks & keep up the good work!
David State: CA
I felt an outbreak and used it a couple times and felt much better. I liked the roller ball and the product worked way better than anything else I have tried.
Linda State: CA
It worked faster than other products and the roller ball is very good.
Kelly State: CA
I would have liked if the product produced an immediate numbing sensation. The product worked after 2 applications but really kicked in after the third one. I liked the roll on applicator, and the smell was pleasant.
John State: CA
Seemed to prevent the sores from developing completely. less soreness, quicker recovery time. now, if it could only prevent the sores from returning at all, i'd give it a 10.
"I did receive the trial product and I put it on the cold sore at the first tingle and I did not get a cold sore! Then I got an actual cold which usually has me looking like the herpes poster child. I put it on and again no cold sore! YAY! Where can I buy this stuff?"
