What is Cymex Ultra?

Cymex Ultra is a treatment cream which is clinically proven to relieve cold sores and their symptoms. It eases itching and tingling sensations around the cold sore and is designed to be used as soon as symptoms show up. It’s perfect for all the family, keeping those irritating cold sores at bay.

 

What are cold sores?

Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters which typically appear around your mouth but can show up anywhere on your face. When you’re getting a cold sore, you will normally notice an itchy or tingly feeling before the blisters begin to form. Cold sores are caused by a highly contagious virus which lives in your skin. When you have this virus, your cold sores can flare up at any time, leaving you looking for a way to ease irritation.

 

How will this product treat my cold sores?

Cymex Ultra contains the active ingredient Aciclovir, which is an antiviral agent. This means that it tackles the virus that causes cold sores, helping to speed up healing while relieving symptoms of itching and tingling in the affected area.

 

How to use Cymex Ultra.

Apply as soon as you notice the first signs of a cold sore, for example, tingling or itching. Apply Cymex Ultra liberally to the affected area 5 times every day. Continue treatment for 4 days, if your cold sore hasn’t healed within this time you can continue to use Cymex Ultra for up to 10 days. Always wash your hands before and after using this product, avoid touching your eyes until you have washed your hands after using Cymex Ultra.
