It does the same for chapped, split lips in winter. Suitable for adults and children, applied sparingly every hour. 5g tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy an antibacterial, moisturising cream\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntiviral creams only help if you start in the first day or two; most cold sores are caught later, once the blister has burst. That's when Cymex earns its place: dimeticone forms a protective, water-resistant layer over the sore, urea softens the crust so it doesn't crack, and cetrimide and chlorocresol keep bacteria out of the raw skin, which is what turns a five-day cold sore into a two-week one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply a small amount to the cold sore or cracked lip every hour, with a clean fingertip or cotton bud, and wash your hands afterwards. Keep using it until the skin has healed over. Don't share the tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor external use only; keep away from the eyes. It contains cetostearyl alcohol, which can cause a local skin reaction in some people. Ask a pharmacist before use if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and see one if a sore isn't healing after 10 days, spreads, sits near the eye or keeps returning.
