?? Herstat+ Cold Sore Cream comes in a small tube, but just the tiniest amount spread regularly on the sore packs a big punch. Each tube contains 2 grams (0.07 oz) of ointment (we actually overfill each tube by 10%). This is the same amount as the top selling item in the USA. Because you only need a very small amount regularly on the cold sore, one tube contains more than enough to last for at least one outbreak. You will also notice that the tube is crimped to close the end and this shows the batch number and expiry date. It is normal for the tube to contain air above the ointment. This headspace full of air is necessary to ensure the end of the tube is 'dry' when it is heat crimped. HERSTAT: Herstat has been in the business of making cold sore treatments for over two decades. We have been making treatments for the European, Australian, Canadian and UK markets for many years and now our cold sore / fever blister creams are available here in the USA ????. ?? COLD SORE OR FEVER BLISTER: Whether you refer to these horrible episodes as Cold Sores or Fever blisters; they are the same thing and Herstat+ is designed to target the pain of an outbreak and get to work in clearing it up quickly, whilst soothing and moisturizing the sore. ✓ Herstat+ COLD SORE TREATMENT has a slightly grainy feel and you can see the tiny visible specs of propolis in suspension within the ointment. This is entirely normal and the specs of propolis will smooth into the skin when the ointment is applied to the cold sore or fever blister. ???? MADE IN THE USA: Herstat+ Cold Sore Treatment is proudly made in the USA in a cGMP certified facility, using Purified Propolis sourced from Manitoba. ?? SUBTLE & SOOTHING: As well as being highly effective at targeting pain and relieving symptoms of cold sores, Herstat+ Cold Sore Treatment with 3% Propolis Extract is designed to soothe lips and provide calming relief from dryness and cracking.

Alongside other ingredients, propolis helps to soothe and moisturize lips and acts as a natural preservative in our cold sore cream. ?
