Camphor spirits are what give CamphoPhenique that funny smell. Only here it's a liquid and it's full strength. If you notice a cold sore starting (you know when, like when you feel that itch and you see a little dot and wonder if it's going to be a cold sore) you break this out and start putting on that little spot. If you catch it quick enough the Camphor spirits will dry it up before it gets out of hand. I always use a standard double ended cotton swab to apply this stuff. I use one end of the swab and then when I go back I use the other end of the swab. Never place a used side of the swab back into the bottle. Only use a clean swab to put inside the bottle. Re-using swabs is pointless. They are cheap. Use once, throw away. And you'll get rid of that cold sore quck.

I use this product on my zits. I apply drop on fingertip and rub into zit. Wake up next morning and its totally gone! it is excellent on arthritic joints too. I have trigger finger on hand and i apply this. For next couple days, pain is gone and finger moves much better. I have to keep a bottle on hand...it helps so much! I only wish it came in a larger bottle. It did come with different labeling on 2nd bottle but still works exactly the same as my first bottle.

It's great for soreness"¦

I have had a relatively small dermatofibroma on my leg below my knee for atleast the past 5 years. I have tried so many at home remedies to try and make it go away. I hated wearing shorts or would wear a band aid over it when I did. I read online that camphor spirit helped the appearance and in some cases made it go away. I finally decided to try it. I have only been using it for the past 3 days but have seen such an improvement and the dermatofibroma is starting to flatten! I am so pleased and cannot wait until the dermatofibroma is gone! I use it twice a day. First thing in the morning and at night after a shower. This is such a great product!!!

This product is highly effective in healing cold sores.
