AMAZING! Buy it! Buy two!

Twill108 . 3 months ago

This works SO WELL! I had a cold sore sprout Tuesday, it is now FRIDAY and it is GONE aside from a small red patch. This cream caused the sore to COMPLETELY skip the weeping stage, and the gross crusty stage after the weeping. The cold sore grew to less than HALF the usual size, it hurt significantly less, it itched less, and it’s not nearly as dark, or angry, of a red after healing. The tube is teeny tiny, but a little bit goes a long way! This makes Abreva feel like a crappy placebo. Stop reading reviews and just buy it already!

Best Alternative to Abreva

Shelberry18 . 4 months ago

When abreva is too expensive and you need a cheaper alternative, Burt’s bee’s definitely does the trick. Usually helps at the first sign of a cold sore but anytime using it relieved my pain and discomfort. It also helped it look less ugly in my opinion. So if you’re looking for a good cold sore fighting cream, you may have found your match.

Best purchase yet for Cold sores !

Tay77 . 4 months ago

I have never written a review , but feel I have to on this one . I had a huge cold sore that swelled my whole upper lip . It was so bad I could barely open my mouth to drink or eat . I used abreva and releev which helped keep it at bay some , but no relief at all for my throbbing pain . Finally asked my husband to please go find something for the pain and swelling and we did reviews . Saw some good stuff about Burts Bees rapid rescue and figured it’s worth a trip out to try it . Boy am I glad he did !! As soon as I opened the package and applied I felt relief I don’t know if it will do anything else yet , but the pain relief was worth it alone . I will try to write another review after 24 hours of use . Thank you for helping me get relief !! Wish I had it a day ago .

This REALLY works!

Keysha86 . 4 months ago

I purchased Burt’s Bees cold sore treatment along with two others, Abreva and Lysine. The Burt’s Bees cold sore treatment worked best at soothing and healing my cold sore rapidly. I’m so pleased with its effectiveness. It’s my go-to product!!!

Works great for me!

Buddy C . 5 months ago

As my title states. For me, this stuff works great! It’s the best I’ve used. Although admittedly I have never tried Abreva because I am allergic to one of its ingredients. The pain relief is instant and it keeps it moisturized for hours while I’m working. Now… I’ve read some of the poor reviews and I feel the need to point out that everyone’s physiology and underlying causes and conditions vary wildly. So naturally, because of this, the effectiveness of something like this will also vary from person to person. Having said all that…Heres my experience with rapid rescue. I bought a tube of the rapid rescue about a week after a more than month long and particularly bad breakout I had of cold sores on my lips. They were some of the largest and most painful sores I’ve had in my almost 40 years of existence. But what makes it worse is my wife is lucky enough to NOT be afflicted with cold sores. So whenever I have even any symptoms. We make sure to use different cups and “stay away from each other”. Just to be safe. I certainly don’t want her to have to deal with this… When I saw the Burt’s Bees rapid rescue, I thought. “Well this probably doesn’t do much more than carmex”. But I’ll try it next time. Luckily it was over a year before I had another sore, but I had it in my nightstand ready and waiting. And I can’t say for certain that it is the reason. But my last sore was one of the most painless ones I’ve had in recent memory. I woke up one morning with the telltale tingling and small bump under the skin on my lower lip and I immediately remembered I had bought the rapid rescue. So I started using it. And as I already mentioned. The relief from pain and tingling is instant, at least for me. But more importantly. It actually keeps my lip hydrated enough to prevent the cracking that normally causes bleeding and scabbing, which in turn, ensures that it takes longer to heal. So I think that in itself is a huge benefit.

Life changing!

Dayn . 6 months ago

I can tell you this stuff works 100% better than abreeva, thank god for Burt’s bee! It’s life changing! I put this on if I feel one coming, never get it. If I wake up with a cold sore and apply this all day, it’s gone the next day, it’s insane.

Here we go!

Jasons wasps . 6 months ago

Today is day 2 of using "liquid menthol" does it sooth? Sure when you have a glob of white stuff smood on your lips, but no visible results. Most likely won't buy again, sorry Bert's bees but the product isn't selling itself unfortunately. No response needed. Also "Bert's bees or Bert's bees affiliates do not have my permission to sell my email address or to send me offers."

Love it!!!

makayla22 . 7 months ago

So ever since I can remember I’ve struggled with getting cold sores especially with the new england weather change. This has been the only thing that has helped my cold sores EVER. Put it on and within hours it was much smaller! I paired it with the overnight passionfruit balm for the dryness on the rest of my lips and the two together were AMAZING! Super happy I chose this one because I’ve tried all products abreva, lysine, and other brands they just don’t work like this.

Did not help

Ivelina . 9 months ago

I love burt's bees products and when I saw the cold sore treatment I got very excited. Unfortunately, my cold sore kept growing and hurting even though I constantly applied this product. I hope it helps others with less stubborn cold sores.

Fantastic Product

Savvy07 . 12 months ago

I have gotten cold sores for as long as I can remember. My most recent remedy has been rubbing alcohol and tea tree oil. I also take l-lysine daily. I have probably tried every internet-suggested remedy out there with no better outcome. I haven't been able to find anything that works fast and effectively. I didn't get a chance to start this ointment when I felt it come on since I was in the middle of my work shift so first application was about 6 hours after I felt that stupid tingle. I did swell, and ended up wearing a mask all day yesterday to conceal the beast but it's been 46 hours and I have zero swelling, it's already soothed and healing. Its barely noticeable. I'm glad my husband picked it up and due to his experience with another Burt's bees product he loves, a foot cream I believe. (The photos were taken 30 hours apart)

Laura 120 . 12 months ago

Does it help when cold sore is scabbing? I'm going away in 3 days and need the scab gone.

So thankful I found this product!

Madelynn . 1 year ago

I get about 4-6 cold sores a year, typically with weather changes or stress. I have been prescribed medications and ointments, and still always struggle with getting rid of my cold sores in 2 weeks or less. I am SO thankful that I picked up this product yesterday afternoon when I felt a cold sore coming on. I started applying this treatment at 4 pm on Friday, and applied every 2 hours until 10pm. When I woke up Saturday morning, the sore was COMPLETELY gone. I could NOT believe it. I am going to stock up on this product for the rest of my life. So amazing! Even better that its made from clean ingredients. Seriously can not believe the results.

Works fast and is soothing

Hrcanes1 . 1 year ago

I have struggled with cold sores my entire life. This is one of the only products that has actually brought me relief! I am so thankful to have found this product. It’s a bonus that it’s made by Burt’s Bees because I know I can trust the ingredients.
