Quantum Health Super Lysine+ Cold Sore Treatment Cream | 7 g

Cold Sore Treatment Cream by Quantum Health comes in a 7 gram tube and is applied directly to the lip border and the narrow band of skin around it during a cold sore episode. The tube is small on purpose: reapplying from the first tingle matters more than the size of any single application, and the format travels in a pocket or handbag. It suits people whose lip sores return during stressful weeks or after long sun exposure and who want something aimed at one precise spot rather than the whole face.

What is a cold sore?

A cold sore is a small surface lesion that appears where facial skin meets the red of the lip, and it moves through a set sequence: tingling or itching, then fine blisters, then a crust that dries and falls away. Skin at that border is thin and carries few oil glands compared with the rest of the face, so it loses water quickly and splits during talking and eating more readily than neighbouring skin.

What the cream does for skin around the lip

• Occlusive film: the rich texture leaves a thin layer that slows water loss through a barrier that is already weak in this area.
• Softer crust: keeping the patch supple lowers the chance the crust splits when the mouth opens or chews.
• Less tightness: dryness is what creates the drawn feeling at the lip edge, and moisture addresses that mechanical part of it.
• Friction shield: the film reduces rubbing against food, drink and fabric.
• Spot-precise use: a 7 gram tube lets a very small amount go to one limited patch rather than along the whole lip.

Which skin types it suits

Quantum Health cream is used on a limited patch at the lip border, an area of similar thinness across all skin types. Dry skin, and anyone spending long hours in cold or dry air, benefits most from the occlusive layer. Sensitive skin should test a small amount on the inner forearm before applying it to the lip.

Where it sits in the routine

Quantum Health cream goes on clean, dry skin after washing the face, straight onto the affected spot and before any lip balm or make-up. During the day, sunscreen goes on the rest of the face while the spot itself is left unrubbed, and shared cosmetics such as lipstick are never passed over the sore so the tube stays uncontaminated.

How to use

Wash hands before and after applying. Take a small amount on a clean cotton swab and place it with a light touch, without rubbing or pressing. Reapply through the day whenever the area dries out, and after eating, drinking or washing the face, since the film goes with them. Start at the first tingle and continue until the crust falls away. The tube is not shared with anyone else.

FAQ

When should Quantum Health cream be started?

Quantum Health cream is started at the first tingle or itch at the lip border, before blisters appear. An early start keeps the area moist through the stages that follow and reduces the splitting that comes with the crust phase.

Can it be used inside the mouth or near the eye?

Quantum Health cream is for external use on the skin around the lip only, not inside the mouth, not on mucous membranes and not near the eye. Use on any other area of the face should be discussed with a dermatologist first.

How often is it reapplied?

Quantum Health cream is reapplied whenever the film has worn off the area, which usually happens after eating, drinking or washing the face. The wording printed on the 7 gram tube is the reference for the maximum number of applications.

Caution

For external use only; avoid eyes and inside the mouth. Stop if irritation occurs and see a doctor if sores recur or persist.
