Over-the-counter cold sore relief from Clevorx Nanomedicine Laboratories

Antiviral pharmaceutical company Clevorx Nanomedicine Laboratories has launched a cold sore cream that provides targeted pain relief and protection called Clevorx.

The treatment cream will be available over-the-counter for customers in the US and Europe and designed for easy application for users. The cream is approved by the US FDA and is steroid-free. 

A common and debilitating condition, David Jones, director of retail, says, “Our goal with Clevorx is to provide a product that offers effective relief and helps individuals manage their cold sore outbreaks confidently.”

Cold sores are a viral infection that affects more than half of Americans between the ages of fourteen and forty-nine, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association. The blisters typically last for several days, and while there is no known cure, there are preventative measures and pain relief options available, as noted by the UK National Health Service.

Clevorx provides soothing relief when applied and a protective barrier that keeps the cold sore sterile.  

In a survey, 92% of Clevorx users reported favorable results. Many noticed an improvement in a few days, others in seven to 14 days, says the company. 

Oral Health

There is an uptick in personal care product launches that promote oral health.

In September, Personal Care Insights reported on a study in Cosmetics that examined the antifungal, antibacterial and antioxidant potential of citronella oil (Cymbopogon nardus) in combination with an active ingredient from propolis, caffeic acid phenethyl ester. The research could impact personal care products like mouthwash, antifungal ointments or skin treatments.

In October, Colgate Optic White and McBride Sisters Collection launched a limited edition set featuring a bottle of wine, a compact mirror and two Colgate Optic White Overnight Whitening Pens, highlighting the pens’ ability to remove wine stains.
