Breaking news: when it comes to being an RLW (real-life woman), it’s not all perfect selfies and flawless Facebook posts all the time. We do, occasionally, have to deal with issues that fall into the uncomfortable and, quite frankly, un-glamorous category. Like cold sores.
These painful, itchy and sometimes-unsightly blisters around the mouth impact more Canadians than you think—one member of our very own VITA team deals with them on the regular, and it can be rough. Caused by the herpes simplex 1 virus (HSV-1), which is spread when one comes into contact with an infected person’s saliva or blisters through kissing or sharing cups, towels, makeup, razors or any other items that have touched their mouth, cold sores have a pretty negative stigma attached to them and can be stressful and embarrassing to treat and manage. In our own staffer’s words, “When I experience a breakout, I just want to hide. I feel like people are only looking at my cold sore, not at me.”
Happily, there’s a new and, believe it or not, stylish solution to the problem. Just launched in Canada, lipivir® is the first over-the-counter drug-free lip gel clinically proven to reduce the frequency of cold sores and, potentially, limit the transmission of HSV-1. In trials, 80 per cent of users experienced a reduction in outbreaks of 75 to 100 per cent (we like those odds). Best of all, it goes on totally clear—meaning it won’t draw extra attention to your cold sore and can be easily incorporated into your daily beauty routine.
With fall already here and winter on its way, this is a time of year when outbreaks often occur, as cold weather is a trigger. Be prepared by purchasing lipivir online, and join us in wishing a happy goodbye to cold sores! —Vita Daily
*Results may vary due to individual characteristics, history of cold sore outbreaks, and compliance; there is no guarantee of specific results. You should see your pharmacist or doctor if you experience recurrent outbreaks while using lipivir®.
