Ohh, you dug this back up!

I've used abreva, and found it worked better than many topical ointments, but not as well as I would have hoped.

HOWEVER I am on day 3 of both current cold sores, and they are almost completely gone.

My trick? Extra Strength Cold Fx orally, and Bag Balm topically. It's my new cure.
