Application Areas

Abreva is designed for topical use on the lips and face where cold sores and fever blisters commonly appear. Apply a thin layer directly to the affected area at the earliest sign of a sore, such as tingling or redness, and reapply as directed. The cream formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, making it suitable for use under makeup or lip balm. For best results, treatment should begin at the first symptom and continue until the sore has fully healed.

Preparation & Use

Wash hands before and after applying Abreva. Squeeze a small amount of cream onto a fingertip and spread a thin layer over the affected area, covering the entire cold sore and a small margin of surrounding skin. Apply five times per day until the sore heals, or use as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Avoid rubbing the cream in aggressively; gentle spreading allows the docosanol to form a barrier that blocks the virus. Do not share tubes between individuals to prevent cross-contamination.
