Brand new to Canada, Lipivir is a gentle gel formulated to dramatically reduce the frequency of unsightly and painful cold sore blisters. The innovative, drug-free formula, comes in a discrete 2-gram tube that lasts up to two months. All you need is a small drop applied morning and night along with your daily beauty routine.
Lipivir was developed by scientists in Switzerland. This drug-free ointment is made of a unique mixture of polyethylene glycols (PEGs), An ingredient commonly used in products like skin creams, which scientists discovered interferes with the herpes simplex virus, preventing its ability to infect the healthy cells in your lips. Applying Lipivir daily means that whenever a cold sore trigger wakes up the virus, Lipivir is there to stop it from infecting your lips to produce a cold sore. Because of its drug-free formula, Lipivir can be used alone or safely be added to your existing cold sore treatment regimens.
In a 2013 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, Lipivir was applied twice daily for 6 months by people who usually experience recurrent cold sores. 80% of these cold sore sufferers experienced a reduction in cold sore outbreaks of 75-100%.

Cold sores are triggered when your immune system is weakened. In addition to using Lipivir, a healthy lifestyle can make you less susceptible to outbreaks. Eating well and exercising regularly strengthens your immune system and helps with stress – one the major triggers. Getting sufficient sleep every night and moisturizing your lips regularly to prevent their becoming dry or chapped can also reduce outbreaks.
