What is Cymex?
Cymex is a cold sore treatment cream which helps to relieve pain, itching and irritation caused by cold sores. Just apply a little Cymex cream every hour for a treatment that will help to ease your symptoms while keeping the infection from spreading.
What are cold sores?
Cold sores are fluid-filled blisters which usually appear on the skin around your mouth or lips but can appear anywhere on the face. They are caused by a very infectious virus which gets into your skin and can cause the appearance of a cold sore at any time. You can usually tell if a cold sore is going to develop as the affected area begins to tingle, itch, or burn.
How will this cold sore cream treat my cold sores?
Cymex contains three active ingredients which make up its unique triple-action formula. These ingredients are:
- Urea
- Dimethicone 350

These ingredients work together to soothe irritation caused by cold sores while keeping the infection from spreading. It also helps to promote healing, so your cold sore will vanish more quickly.
