How quickly can I expect to see results with RELEEV for my cold sore?
All people are different and cold sores vary. Often it depends on when RELEEV is applied – the sooner the better and that is true of any treatment. Typically when RELEEV is applied, pain eases in minutes and other symptoms improve within 24 hours. We have long been told by consumers that in addition to providing symptom relief, RELEEV is terrific in speeding the healing of cold sores. What consumers are telling us was confirmed in a recently completed double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial. On average cold sores healed in 72 hours and for some in as little as 21 hours. We look forward to reporting the results of that successful clinical trial soon.
