Product description

Zovirax Cold Sore Cream targets the virus that causes cold sores to help reduce healing time and ease discomfort.

Zovirax Cold Sore Cream 2g contains aciclovir 5% w/w, an antiviral ingredient that helps stop the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) from multiplying at the site of infection. Used at the first sign of a tingle, itch, or redness, it can help limit the development of the cold sore and promote faster resolution. The smooth cream absorbs quickly and is comfortable to wear, making it suitable for daytime use without drawing attention.

What are the benefits? Early and regular application helps reduce the duration of symptoms, soothe tingling and soreness, and support cleaner healing. The compact 2g tube fits easily into a pocket or bag so you can treat promptly wherever you are. Consistent use, exactly as directed, helps you manage outbreaks confidently and minimise disruption to your routine.
