Details
Zovirax antiviral cream contains MAC-P, an absorption accelerant which helps the cream penetrate up to 5 x faster* so the antiviral (aciclovir) can reach the site of the infection more quickly.For extra convenience, Zorivax Antiviral Cold Sore Cream is also available in a handy pump pack.
Zovirax Cream delivers the antiviral active ingredient, aciclovir, in a special formulation containing MAC-P. MAC-P is an absorption accelerator that allows the active ingredient to penetrate the skin up to 5 x faster* to get to the area where the virus is reproducing. Once it reaches this area the active ingredient springs into action – making it difficult for the virus to reproduce itself. When that happens, your body's natural defences can get to work and help to heal the cold sore. The cream also contains ingredients which help moisturise deep within the skin to soothe and protect.
