Hiya, I have used these and they definitely work for me. Like all cold sore treatments they work best if used early, ie when you feel the first signs of one starting. They keep the area from drying out and stop you touching it. Since the cold sore doesn't dry out and have the opportunity to crack it heals much better and with no scarring and I have noticed that the time it takes to get rid of a cold sore is reduced by 2-3 days. The patches are clear matt plastic which isn't hugely noticable when you have one on your lip. Be warned they are pretty sticky - this is a real advantage as they stay put (though when you eat at meal times they can start to come undone) but if you try to pull off a freshly placed one it pulls on the skin a fair bit (just as elastoplast does when you are pulling it off). Hope this is helpful.
