ViraproX Lip Balm Reviews

Cold sores are the pits! If I even think there's a snowball's chance I might be getting one, I reach for a preventative lip product such as this one.

I took my baby in for her six week checkup when I noticed a spot on my eight year old's lip. Babies and cold sores are a dangerous combination, so we went straight to the chemist and asked for a lip balm that contains lysine. This is what they gave me. I was pleased to see that it's so reasonably priced. I also like that it's a squeezy tube. The most hygienic way to use something like this, especially when you have an active cold sore, is to squeeze a small amount out onto the head of a cotton bud and use the cotton bud to apply the balm instead of the tube. This prevents bacteria from getting on the tube so you don't risk reinfection. This also makes it safe for multiple users. My daughter's spot never developed into a cold sore. Perhaps it was something else, but either way, it was gone the next day.

Even if you are one of the lucky ones who doesn't get cold sores, a reasonably priced lip balm with SPF 30 is a good thing to have!

I bought this a while ago and it has done wonders for my super dry lips, it's the only balm I use now.

It gives my lips a slight tingle from the menthol which I love and it's not too sticky. It glides on smoothly and lasts quite a while.

I've currently have a coldsore and while it hasn't seemed to prevent it as I do use it regularly, the cold sore is already starting to clear up on day two!

The only downfall is the packaging, I would much rather the name not be so prominent as it can be a little embarrassing and the name suggests a viral ointment.

I love this Viraprox Lip Balm, I am prone to cold sores, this keeps your lips soft and hydrated, it is great to use in the sun, ( one of my triggers ) it has a cooling effect on your lips having menthol and lysine in the ingredients. This help with relieving the symptoms, such as itchiness and inflammation.

I did have one cold sore brewing, with the change in the weather. I have applied this balm for a few days now and it has halted the process.
I love that it has SPF30 UVA and UVB broad spectrum incorporated into it, to protect me from sun damage.
It smooths easily on to the lips and is quite pleasant feeling, not too greasy and stays on for a long time.
It comes in a handy little plastic tube that is easy to use and carry around.

So I decided to pick this up in my Beautorium haul, because I'm prone to coldsores and thought it would be really strong and disgusting like most coldsore medication.

Surprisingly barely any scent or taste, and thinner than other medications. It looks like vaseline, clear not white but it's sort of sweet. It claims to have menthol to soothe but I can't feel much menthol at all.

I put it on because I felt a small itchy lump forming so I knew a cold sore was on its way and about half an hour later the itching is almost gone and my lips are moisturised without a heavy feeling or disgusting taste.

Since it has a plastic slant tip applicator, I didn't want to contaminate it by applying it directly to the affected area so I squeezed a little onto my clean finger and applied it.

Seems to work well. I shall be reaching for this more often and recommending it to my bestie who also gets cold sores a lot.

Smells and tastes (because we all lick our lips from time to time) better than other medicated lip balms. Slightly sweet flavour, no real discernible smell. Glides on very smoothly and lasts quite a while. Leaves lips feeling great—smooth, moisturised, plump. I have felt a few cold sores starting since I have been using this, but when I apply it regularly the cold sores seem to disappear again. Very happy with that.
