Acivir Cream 5% – Fast Relief for Cold Sores & HSV Outbreaks

Feeling the familiar tingling or blister forming around your lips? Acivir Cream 5% (Aciclovir) is a trusted antiviral topical treatment designed to stop cold sores in their tracks and reduce healing time.

How It Works

With 5% aciclovir, this topical cream inhibits viral replication in skin cells, targeting herpes simplex virus outbreaks early—usually during the tingling or burning stage—so you heal faster and feel better sooner.

Key Benefits

  • Speeds up the healing of cold sores—often within 7–14 days
  • Reduces itching, pain, and inflammation around the outbreak site
  • Gentle enough for sensitive skin when used externally

How to Use

  1. Clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly.
  2. Apply a thin layer of Acivir Cream to the area about 5 times daily (every ~4 hours) as soon as symptoms begin.
  3. Continue treatment for 4–5 days—even if symptoms improve early on.
  4. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or inside the nose; rinse thoroughly if accidental contact occurs.
