To combat cold sores The N1 COLD SORE cream is made from natural fatty acids and can treat acute and recurring herpes infections. The ingredients can control inflammation by minimizing the spread of the herpes viruses and forming a protective layer that prevents the viruses from penetrating. The cream is cortisone-free. Application : When the first symptoms appear (slight tingling, reddened skin or itching), apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and allow the treated area to dry. Apply the N1 COLD SORE CREAM every 3 to 4 hours. Treatment should then be continued, even if the symptoms have already subsided. The symptoms usually subside and disappear after the first application, but it is recommended that the cream be used for a further 2 to 3 days. Note : For use in adults. Read the package insert. Keep out of the reach and sight of children. N1 LIP HERPES CREAM may only be used on intact skin. Do not use on blisters or lesions. It is recommended to wash hands thoroughly before and after application. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
