Cymex Cream For Cold Sores - 5g

Cymex is a triple-action cream designed to treat cold sores, easing pain, itching, and irritation while helping prevent infection from spreading.

• Soothes discomfort and irritation

• Reduces inflammation and promotes healing

• Helps prevent the spread of infection

What Are Cold Sores?

Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters that typically appear on the lips or around the mouth.

Key facts about cold sores:

• Highly contagious and can recur throughout life

• Triggered by the herpes simplex virus, which remains dormant in the body

• May start with tingling, itching, or burning sensations

Cold sores usually clear within 10 days, but effective treatment can speed up recovery.

How Does Cymex Cold Sore Cream Work?

Cymex contains three key active ingredients that form its triple-action formula:

• Urea – Helps soften and protect the skin

• Dimethicone 350 – Forms a protective barrier to reduce irritation

• Cetrimide – Acts as an antiseptic to help prevent infection spread

These ingredients work together to speed healing and relieve discomfort.

How to Use Cymex Cream

• Apply a small amount to the affected area

• Repeat every hour as needed for best results

If symptoms persist, consult your GP or pharmacist.
