Lypsyl Cold Sore Treatment
Lypsyl Cold Sore Treatment
Lypsyl cold sore relief cream kills the virus that causes cold sores while promoting smooth lips and soft skin.
How Does Lypsyl work?
Lypsyl’s main ingredient targets the herpes simples virus’s reproductive system and destroys DNA polymerase. Without this protein, cold sore virus particles can’t reproduce. Other cells are not affected.
- Lypsyl Safety
Lypsyl’s main active ingredient is aciclovir, an anti-virus that is used in many medications to fight herpes, cold sores, and chickenpox. Aciclovir can have side effects including dizziness, rash, seizures, and death, but these are extremely rare and aciclovir is considered safe by the US Federal Drug Administration.
Lypsyl’s other active ingredients are petrolatum, camphor, and menthol, all of which are common chemicals used in a number of cosmetic products and over-the-counter medications. Lypsyl’s parent company has a line of lip balms and uses similar ingredients in both product lines. Inactive ingredients in Lypsyl include beeswax, zinc, and vitamin E.
- Lypsyl Conclusion
Lypsyl is not recommended for pregnant women due to potential fetal side effects. The main ingredient, aciclovir, has a short half-life and so Lypsyl must be frequently reapplied throughout the day. Despite these potential drawbacks, Lypsyl contains safe, natural ingredients that destroy cold sores and promote smooth skin.
