According to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the
virus that causes cold sores, infects more than half of the U.S. population
by the time they reach their 20s. A cold sore can be painful especially as it blisters and forms a crusty
scab, and there are also emotional side effects of cold sores, particularly large, conspicuous ones.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for the virus. However, the sores can be treated. There are a variety of at-home and over-the-counter treatments available, including cool washcloths, drying agents like alcohol, stress reduction if you experience frequent cold sores.
Carmex has a new treatment as well. The combination of the three technologies found in TriPLEX™
Formula advanced technology allows this new formulation to provide
cold sore appearance softening benefits. The first technology bends light as it
approaches the cold sore, the second technology helps fill in unevenness of the
cold sore, and the third technology helps correct the skin tone of the cold
sore. The formula also contains a blend of silicone elastomers, commonly used
in high-end skincare products, to give the product a smooth, silky feel.
