  • Our customers report minimal disruption to their appearance during a herpes/cold sore outbreak within 24-48 hours if used at symptom onset. Have one on hand and ready to use for best results.

  • It almost never fails that when you have important plans, the dreaded tingle arrives at just the wrong time. In our surveys of over 4,000 cold sore sufferers, 85% said they would welcome an improved approach. That’s why NEXTLEAP was developed.

  • To reduce the impact of a cold sore outbreak and its disruption to your life, we developed a unique gel formula containing Tranexamic Acid, – creating a new results-oriented “cosmetic” approach to cold sore care.

  • One single, easy to carry tube can treat multiple outbreaks.

  • NEXTLEAP is a clear serum of Tranexamic Acid (a lysine analog) that quickly addresses the visual impact of cold sores and fever blisters but does not cover them up.

    NEXTLEAP is focused on addressing the problem fast, so you don’t need a cover-up!

  • NEXTLEAP works well by itself. You may get even faster results by using it underneath Abreva* or other topical cold sore products, because they work in different ways.

  • NEXTLEAP also works against redness from various sources: spider veins, sunburn, rosacea, and the redness remaining after healing from cuts, scrapes or medical procedures.

  • NEXTLEAP works well against dark spots, melasma and acne scarring. Dark spot correction can take up to 3 months for full benefits but NextLeap underneath a dark spot corrector or an exfoliation product may give faster results.

Tranexamic Acid is widely used in cosmetics to reduce the appearance of skin discoloration, primarily caused by aging and sunlight damage. NextLeap can be effectively used for that purpose, ideally underneath a hydration, dark spot or exfoliation product.

Testimonials

Wow, what a surprise! I have suffered with cold sores most of my life, but I recently had a completely different experience with my last outbreak using NextLeap Cosmetic for Cold Sores. As usual, I felt that tingle with a small visible spot on my lip and immediately applied NextLeap followed by my usual cold sore treatment Abreva (docosanol). Incredibly, the outbreak never became particularly visible and there was never any pain. And after a couple of days, it looked like the outbreak was over. These things usually take a week or two to heal for me even with using Abreva, so if this is how things will go from now on, count me in!

  • Because cold sores - fever blisters - herpes outbreaks are not life-threatening, this has been a neglected area, with no significant new products in over 20 years. And the old products never worked that well for many people! The new “cosmetic” approach of NEXTLEAP promises to bring relief to many who have been searching a long time.

  • No, NEXTLEAP works well by itself. But for melasma or dark spots, you may get faster results by using it underneath another dark spot corrector or exfoliator, because they work in different ways. Similarly for cold sores, using NEXTLEAP underneath Abreva or other topical cold sore products may give you even better results, again because they work in different ways.

  • There are many cold sore products easily available. The most commonly used is Abreva®, or its generic equivalent Docosanol 10%, which do not require a prescription. Zovirax® cream, or generic acyclovir cream, is the most common topical antiviral product used against cold sores, but it requires a prescription. There are a number of other good products available online or at the drugstore that will also work well with NEXTLEAP.
