Pump Style Abreva Defective

Do not buy this product in a pump! I have used the cream before, in the tube, and would have this time, too, but my usual stores were only carrying the pump.The cream works well for cold sores, and although it is very expensive, the cream in the tube lasts a very long time because you don't need to use much. I was leary of buying a pump, because pumps often stop working prematurely. While the Abreva pump was working, it dispensed more than needed, then after only a few uses, it stopped pumping altogether! This is very frustrating, especially given how expensive the product is. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the pump version of this product!

Please be careful!!!

I used Abreva a week after I had gotten my cold sores, I don't get them very often, but when I do they stay for weeks. Just make sure you know how your skin will react to the ointment. I used it, but after 2 days, it kept getting worse, making my cold sores so bad that it had contracted in my facial nerve. Which led to the spread of it to one side of my face. Please make sure that your skin will not have a bad reaction to this, like me. I'm not saying it doesn't work because my friend raved about it, which is what led me to use it. There are 2 pictures attached below, one when I got my cold sore, and one where you can see them spreading to my face. I'm only posting this to bring attention to this matter, not to bring harm to the company.

Can't get product out of tube package

I currently have two tubes of this and the pump does not work in either one, leaving a bunch of product unattainable. I will never buy this in the pump again. We were forced to destroy the tube in order to access the product. I will only buy this in the squeeze tube from now on. Notagood value in this packaging.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

the product is good, I used it before many times many years. THIS PRODUCT WILL EXPIRE IN 7 MONTS. 12/31/24. MANY TIMES I GOT IT FROM THE STORE AND IT WAS ALWAYS AT LEAST 1 YEAR 1/2 BEFORE EXPIRED. I WILL NOT BY ANY CREEAM PRODUCT ANY MORE FROM THIS WEBSITE. DO BETTER SHOW THE EXPIRATION DAY ON SOME PRODUCTS.

Does not work.

I am still getting over a bout of cold sores all over lips and above lips. I quickly tried Abreva as it had stated that their product really works. Well.....It is a week later and I still have these cold cores all over on and around my lips. I followed the instructions to a tee. Do not be fooled by the ads for this product. Now I am seeing a registered dermatologist for help with this problem.

Awful pump design

I've used abreva for years, until last year or earlier it came out in a pump packaging. No offence, but the design sucks. The cream is helpful still. As I know many have complained the same, but I still have to say, the pump design is just not working. I am not buying this product unless it goes back to the original squeeze packaging. The pump is horrible, so much comes out on every pump, it's just wasteful. Also, sometimes it splashes so far, making it impossible to use. I feel that abreva is going to have fewer income and customers just because of the packaging.
