Basic Organics L-Lysine Ointment

I use this product as my day to day chapstick! I used to get cold sores all the time as I have very dry sensitive lips because of my eczema! It didn’t work immediately but cut healing time in half and with continued use I have not had another cold sore in 3 years! Highly recommend

I was very pleased to find this product online. I had tried to purchase this product at my local GNC and they had taken it off the shelf. I had also tried to purchase at a GNC out of state while visiting my daughter and they too had taken it off the shelf. So, I was happy to find that I could purchase it online. My hope is that the product will not be discontinued as I have used this for years and would not want to change.

This is a reorder as I misplaced my other jar. Probably during the process of moving.

Keep this on hand for cold sores and use right away! If you have to wait to go to the store and buy it, it’s probably already too late. In November I started to develop a cold sore. I had not had one in a couple years so I didn’t have anything on hand to treat it. It was Sunday morning so I took some time to do some research until the stores opened. I found this was available at a close location and I made my way there after they opened. By this time the cold sore had time to grow and it was too late. Yes it kept my lips moisturized during that horrible week, but that was it. SECOND TIME WAS THE CHARM. About a month later I saw a tiny little bump forming on my lip just before I went to bed. I put a big gob of the ointment on and went to bed as I said a little prayer for this to work. To my amazement in the morning it was gone! Now fast forward to yesterday I woke up and my lip felt weird. Sure enough I saw a tiny bump when I looked in the mirror. I put on my gob and prayed and when I got back up an hour later to get in the shower before work it wasn’t gone, but it wasn’t worse. (Full disclosure on my drive to work I used a drug store product that is white just in case. I’m desperate since I had an important meeting that day). Had to wipe off the white product when I arrived at work and put on the lysine. Kept up with this every couple hours reapplying another small dab of lysine. Last night and today I have kept up with the applications but the bump is no longer there. I always apply with a new q tip so I don’t contaminate the jar of ointment.

So I read all these reviews on-line of how great this product is and its a miracle item and people's cold sore has went away in one day and blah blah blah. Let me tell you the truth.... It is equal in my book as carmex. I got my cold sore last Wednesday. I immediately felt it coming on so i started searching Google for a remedy as to when I came across this product. I went to GNC (as this page says they carry it) and they dont have it, only the pill form you take daily to prevent. Was told if i saw it on-line i will probably need to order it online. Who has time for that. So i drove to another GNC, didnt have it. Drove to another and thankfully they carried it. He said in the winter months he always makes sure to stock up on it because it is awesome for chapped lips. I asked about cold sores and he said yes, it will help keep it moist and not dry up and crack. Well it has dont just that. it has not dried up at all but still remains really red and it is now Tuesday. So almost a full week and i dont see that it has healed any faster than as if i just used carmex. But for the price and the size bottle I'd say its not a loss.

Great for assisting the pure lysine powder in fighting cold sores. Will order again

THIS HAS BEEN A BLESSING IN DISGUISE! I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS

You didn't even send me lip ointment you sent me essential oils which I did no want or order and then my dog ate the packaging so now I'm stuck with a product I don't even know how to use.

This ointment really works,

This is the best kept secret. I always get cold sores in the winter and have suffered thru the pain, shame, and expensive cold sore meds. At the first sign, I put this on and it's gone by the next day. If you have a really bad case or waited too long take a lysine supplement too! I can't live without this thing. Thank you!

and I was getting horribly chapped lips. This stuff saved me. As long as I keep using it, it keeps my lips soft and fends off the chapping. It has a nice consistency and no smell. The price is very comparable to buying several tubes of chapstick. I highly recommend it!!

It continues to work all day long great for dry and chapped lips

Great product for a lip moisturizer. Great product would recommend to anyone looking for a great lip moisterizer.

I used it all day long for a couple of days and the cold sore never fully developed.. no embarassing scab, no oozing, you really couldn't even see it after I applied. Love it! Would highly recommend this product to anyone!

I'm just gonna say it. I have big lips. NO bones about it. And with big lips come dryness. They get very dry, very quick, especially at night, and ESPECIALLY if I'm breathing through my mouth. I use to use a lip balm from benefit cosmetics to put on my lips at night. It was very thick and soothing and would stay on ALL NIGHT. But they don't make it anymore. So I was searching and searching for something. Vaseline didn't stay on all night, and all the other ones kinda just wore off or my lips kinda "sucked" it all in, like a flower in a dry pot..lol. So I came across this stuff, I thought it would be a good thing to try, because I also can get cold sores (apparently very easily). I think non-cold sore-ers have the virus on their lips and they can pass it to us cold sore people without ever getting it themselves (yeah them). This stuff is MAGIC. MAGIC I tell ya. Not only does it keep my lips moist throughout the night but it minimizes the number of cold sores I get and the length of time they stay. AND, the best part, they stay even less that before my normal regime to make them go away. Typically I can tell the very second a cold sore is about to pop, and I slather on Abreva and pop about 4-5 L-Lysine tablets and continue that regime for a couple of days. That reduces the amount I have to suffer from these ghastly things by a great deal, but now this ointment makes it EVEN SHORTER!. I highly recommend it.

I have used Expensive cold sore meds, i have even gone to a dermatologist but to no avail.. I have sufferd with severe immune issues relating to the herpes virus. I cannot believe that something so simple and inexpensive and easy to use has solved the problems with sores, pain and severe discomfort. I send jars and jars up to my relatives in Canada as it is not available there yet. THANK YOU SO MUCH

My family has been using this for many years but it is difficult to find in stores. This is the best thing that we have ever found for cold sore and dry lips. I have even used it on sore chapped hands and bleeding cuticles.

The ony thing that would make it better would be an easier way to apply it to ones lips.

I love for painful fever blisters and chapped lips. So very soothing. Reduces pain. Aides in healing.

Reduces wrinkles on face - just the fine lines become smoother.

I have really chapped lips and find that a lot of chap sticks do not work after a few weeks. A friend of mine uses this version of L-lysine and had recommended it. I tried it and it is the best thing I have ever used.

This is wonderful stuff! I use it since I tend to have cracked chapped lips in winter or in too much sun-use it with the first tingling sign of cold sore/fever blister. For me, it Reduces the overall duration of cold sore/ fever blister too. I have used on sratches, small scrapes and works wonders for that as well. No fragrance really is a positive. Only negative I can think of is If applied in excess, can feel greasy for a bit-so be aware of how much you are using!
This is effective and worth the money.
