Product Review
Herstat is a 'topical' cold sore ointment which can be applied directly onto a cold sore and affected skin. The ingredients within Herstat will help to retain moisture and soften your cold sore and this is proven to accelerate healing. As well as speeding the healing process, the Propolis ACF contained in the ointment will also help reduce inflammation and relieve pain - what more could you ask for from a little tube?
Propolis is a 100% natural substance which has a rich history that extends back to ancient times. We use a specially refined patented form of propolis called Purified Propolis Extract ACF, which is derived from bees in a certain region of Canada, where the propolis has particularly effective anti-viral properties.
- Prohibits Growth - Propolis is an effective treatment for cold sores as its antimicrobial properties prohibit the growth of microorganisms, such as those present in the herpes simplex virus.
- Regenerates - Anyone who suffers from a cold sore outbreak will know that the redness and scabbing they cause can be really embarrassing when going about day-to-day life. Our solution? Banish the blemish fast by applying Herstat. The active compounds in propolis help damaged skin tissue to heal and this speeds up recovery time.
- Gentle on your skin - The pain relieving capabilities of propolis are well documented. That's why it is used in a range of alternative treatments for ailments such as for sore throats and in nasal sprays.
- Reducing inflammation - When used on a cold sore propolis aids pain relief by reducing inflammation, and the petrolatum helps to keep the area moisturised, while not feeling sticky.
It's an added bonus that Herstat cold sore cream smells great and won't leave a bad taste in your mouth.
