Honevo Cold Sore is a gel for cold sores, made in New Zealand. It contains just two ingredients: pharmaceutical-grade kānuka honey from New Zealand's native kānuka tree (Kunzea ericoides) and glycerin, which makes the honey easier to spread and less sticky.
Apply it straight from the applicator to the cold sore on your lip, at least 5 times a day and as often as you need. It helps keep the area moist while the cold sore runs its course. The same Honevo kānuka honey formulation is also sold for other uses, with labelling and directions for each one.
