Lip Q Duo Pack contains Liquorice Balm and Liquorice & Melissa Lip Gel. Together they contain two key cold sore fighting ingredients of Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) from liquorice and Melissa oil.
Glycyrrhizic acid specifically targets the genes that are required to maintain the virus in its latent state by interfering with the production of special proteins that feed the infected cells.
Research published in the US Journal of Clinical Investigation has shown that liquorice has the ability to weaken the cold sore virus which lies dormant in the skin between outbreaks.
Melissa oil is renowned for its strong anti-viral action. A study in November 2004 and published in the prestigious journal Phytomedicine, found that a concentrated extract of 50 micro/ml had a significant anti-viral effect on the herpes simplex virus.
Unlike conventional treatments, due to its naturally derived ingredients, Lip Q Duo Pack can be used as much as needed at the first sign of a cold sore without any negative side-effects.
The Gel can be rubbed into lips at the first sign of a cold sore and can be used in conjunction with daily use of Lip Q Liquorice Balm to help prevent or reduce the intensity of cold sore outbreaks.
The Duo Pack is natural and is FREE from parabens, perfumes, MI and SLS.
