WORKS. EVERY. TIME.
The smell is horrible, but the results are worth it. I use this on cold sores, and it knocks them out in a few hours. No more suffering for days with embarrassing, hideous sores. Put directly on sore immediately upon discovery. Literally, one drop on the end of your finger. Within hours, it will be gone. I follow up with a dot about every 2 hours for the first day just to make sure it is dead and gone. Works every time. Also fabulous for getting rid of nail fungus. My clients are having great results. Worth every penny.

Scent is Heavenly
I love the scent and is wonderful for keeping your feet soft. In a serum it helps to get rid of calluses.
