Lab57
Lab57 Cold Sore Treatment Review
Lab57 is a cold sore treatment and lip care product that was developed by, Dr. Norman Turkowitz, a doctorate in Dental Medicine (University of Pennsylvania). Lab57 product ingredients are designed to cross over the outer skin cells of the lip rapidly increasing the moisture content by 45% at the cellular level. The ingredients in Lab57 do not dry the skin rather it allows the cells to become fully hydrated and protects them against the cold sore causing virus and against redness, chapping, redness and cracking.
How Does Lab57 Work?
Lab57, unlike other lip therapies or cold sore treatments, promotes healing by rapid and continuous enhancement of water into the lips’ skin cells. Lab57′s primary active ingredient is hydrocortisone which is an anti-inflammatory drug that stabilizes skin cell membranes and reduces inflammation. Hydrocortisone strongly reduces virus causing cold sores (herpes simplex) on the skin.
Lab57 Safety
Lab57 also contains well-known, all-natural FDA approved ingredients and have met strict standards of quality control and safety measures. Over 90% of Lab57′s water based ingredients are considered green materials. Lab57′s double blind study in human subjects (no animal testing) showed that this product does cause dermal irritation or sensitization. Lab57 is safe for all skin types and pigments.
Conclusion
Lab57 is a unique cold sore treatment which provides immediate relief from the pain, itching and burning sensations associated with fever blisters. Unlike other cold sore treatments and lip therapies, Lab57′s formulation contains no petroleum jelly, mineral oil or heavy waxes allowing its active ingredient hydrocortisone to become absorbed with 30 to 60 seconds of application. Lab57 products are especially formulated to increase baseline cellular water levels by as much as 25% through long term use. Lab57′s water based ingredients (including hydrocortisone)support skin integrity and allows it to fight the deleterious effects of viruses and inflammation as well as sun, wind, rain and drying effects of some medications.
