Product Information
Full details
Urgo Filmogel Cold Sore Gel is designed for individuals seeking discreet and effective relief from the itching and tingling symptoms of cold sores at any stage of an outbreak. Its key benefit lies in the creation of a flexible, medical-grade film that acts as a protective barrier to accelerate healing and minimize the risk of contagion, though it should be noted that the product requires careful application to ensure the protective layer forms properly without being disturbed.

FAQs
Can I use this on a broken blister?
Yes, the product is designed to aid healing even after a blister has formed and broken, as it creates a protective, sterile barrier.
How many times a day should I apply it?
You can re-apply the gel as often as necessary, typically every few hours or whenever the film appears to be wearing off.
Is it safe to kiss while using the gel?
While the gel provides a protective barrier, it is best to avoid close contact to minimize the risk of transmission to others.
Can I use my own cotton swabs instead of the applicators?
It is recommended to use only the provided disposable applicators to ensure the sterility of the gel inside the bottle.
Does this product expire?
Please check the expiration date printed on the packaging; do not use the product after this date to ensure maximum efficacy.
Is the gel waterproof?
The film is water-resistant, but frequent washing or contact with food and drinks may require re-application.
Troubleshooting
The film is peeling or flaking off
Ensure the area is completely free of oils or moisture before application; apply a slightly thicker layer and avoid touching it until it is fully set.
Gel feels sticky or takes too long to dry
Apply a thinner layer using the applicator; using too much product can increase the required drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using Urgo Filmogel is straightforward. First, ensure the skin around the mouth is clean and dry. Use one of the provided disposable applicators to apply a thin, even layer of the gel over the entire cold sore or the area experiencing tingling. Allow the gel to dry for one to two minutes without touching it. You can re-apply the gel as often as necessary to maintain the integrity of the protective film. For storage, keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or open flames. Always discard used applicators immediately after use to prevent cross-contamination.
