Lyranda, A Breakthrough Cold Sore Treatment, Is Now Available In The U.S.
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Linpharma, a global leader in high quality supplement distribution, has announced the launch of a unique and highly effective cold sore treatment, Lyranda, in the United States. Lyranda is a convenient and pleasant-tasting lozenge, eliminating the need for messy creams to apply topically, no need to touch the cold sore, and cutting the healing time compared to other popular remedies.
Lyranda Chewable Tablet Box
Already the best-selling cold sore remedy in Germany, where the patented supplement is manufactured, Lyranda, is now available without a prescription in the U.S.
Lyranda's effectiveness comes from its multi-faceted approach to treating cold sores:
Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus.
Lyranda acts as an antiviral, stopping viral reproduction.
Its ingredients bolster the immune system.
Lyranda promotes faster wound healing.
In clinical studies, 61.7% of those with cold sores taking Lyandra were healed and symptom free in 5 days compared to only 10.9% taking other therapies. Lyranda not only reduces the symptoms of cold sores but also reduces their incidence.
Lyranda is a business success story as well as a medical one. Lyranda is driving category growth in Germany since its introduction several years ago, with a 7.5% increase in sales, despite a 4% decline for major competitors like Zovirax Cream during the same period. Total cold sore remedies as a category will reach $1.32 billion in the U.S by 2026.
Lyranda is now available direct to consumers, no prescription necessary, online through Amazon.
Lyranda is manufactured by German pharmaceutical company Weber & Weber GmbH and sold in the U.S. By Linpharma Inc. "We are thrilled to finally bring Lyranda to the U.S. Market", says Volker Gallichio, Chief Business & Market Development Officer of Linpharma. "After its success in Germany, we are confident that Lyranda will revolutionize the treatment of cold sores in the United States as well."

The 28 Best Eye Creams For Hydrating, Brightening And Smoothing
For many people, including myself, the under-eye area yields a host of concerns, including dryness, fine lines, discoloration and puffiness. Since this particular area is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, you'll need to be extra cautious when trying to find a solution, according to dermatologists.
There are a number of eye creams on the market designed to help most under-eye concerns, but keep in mind that no cream is a one-size-fits-all solution, according to our experts.

This Ilia formula, which is a personal favorite of mine, uses a plant-based retinol alternative to smooth the under-eye area, plus avocado extract and caffeine to depuff and brighten the skin around the eyes, according to the brand.

What we like
NBC Select managing editor Leah Ginsberg originally received this eye cream, which uses retinol to reduce the appearance of fine lines, as a gift from the brand and is now on her way to purchase a refill. "It is by far the most moisturizing one I have tried, which is tricky with under-eye skin since it doesn't absorb product as easily as other areas," says Ginsberg. "It also has such a luxurious texture."

Target
$19.99
Versed Skin
What we like

The balm also has hydrating ingredients such as vitamin E, shea butter, glycerin and black currant seed oil, according to Versed. The following morning after applying this eye cream, make sure to apply an SPF because retinoids may cause sun sensitivity, according to experts in our guide to building a skin care routine.

Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream$115.00
Sephora
$115.00
Ulta
$115.00
Dermalogica
What we like
While many of the eye creams on our list are safe to apply on your eyelids, this option heavily prioritizes this area. The thick cream minimizes the appearance of fine lines all around the eye while simultaneously lifting the eyelid to reduce eyelid folds, according to the brand. The eye cream has a 4.8-star average rating from over 200 reviews at Sephora.
When shopping for an eye cream, our experts recommend looking for formulas that are hydrating. Below, I break down how to decide which eye cream is best for you based on your specific skin concern.
If you want to add hydrationOne factor that most eye creams have in common is they add hydration so when targeting dryness, look for an option that is thick and creamy, according to Talakoub. When any moisturizer has a thicker consistency, there are more lipids in the formula that lock in moisture, experts told us. When it comes to other eye cream formulations for very dry under eyes, you may also want a thicker balm that will help lock in moisture rather than a lightweight serum, says Garshick.
These creams and balms tend to have ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin to add hydration, draw in moisture and maintain a healthy skin barrier, according to Garshick. Because you're preventing dryness from worsening, the increased moisture and hydration from an eye cream will prevent the skin from becoming crepey, according to Talakoub. Other ingredients that may be helpful to soften and moisturize the skin include squalane and vitamin E, says Garshick.
If you want to brighten and reduce discolorationFor those hoping to brighten the under-eye area, look for vitamin C — it's a lightening agent that can help prevent discoloration and dark circles, according to Talakoub. For those with purple and blue undertones around the eyes, Talakoub recommends products with vitamin K since it can brighten and improve the skin's elasticity making it firmer.
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is another key ingredient to look for since it helps reduce hyperpigmentation by brightening the skin and improving its overall appearance, according to Woolery-Lloyd. However, it can be drying, so make sure there are other moisturizing components like a humectant or emollient in it, she says.
If you want to depuffVarious factors, including allergies, fluid buildup and dietary reasons can all cause puffiness around the eyes, says Talakoub. One of the main ingredients to depuff is caffeine, which helps keep the skin taut so it doesn't get stretched, she says. It also constricts the blood vessels — by doing this, it increases circulation and acts as an anti-inflammatory to reduce puffiness under the eyes, according to Woolery-Lloyd.
If you want to smooth out fine linesAn eye cream with retinol can help smooth fine lines by increasing collagen production and decreasing collagen breakdown, according to our experts. It can also increase cell turnover by replacing dead skin cells with newer and healthier ones, our experts say. However, eye creams need to have a very mild and micronized version of retinol to actually smooth out these lines. Otherwise, it can irritate the under-eye area or make these fine lines worse, says Talakoub.
Eye creams can address specific concerns, but are not the answer to everything, according to our experts. "You can expect between 10% to 30% improvement in dark circles and improvement in textural changes," says Woolery-Lloyd.
Speak with your dermatologist about alternate solutions if you find your eye cream is not addressing your concerns. For example, if you have dark circles, which may be due to genetic vascular issues, or are struggling with hollowing or sunken skin, experts say.
Eye creams can show improvement, but specific concerns sometimes require additional assistance. An alternative solution like filler may be an option for issues with hollowing or sunken pockets. You may need a procedure like a lower blepharoplasty if an eye cream cannot help the puffiness around your eyes. If an eye cream is not improving your dark circles, it may be because the discoloration or vascular issue is due to genetics and may require alternative treatments done by a dermatologist, according to experts.
Can you use a moisturizer as an eye cream?
It depends. A regular facial moisturizer can help hydrate your skin, but won't address specific eye-related concerns like volume loss, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness, says Garshick.
When should you start using eye creams?
Most people start using an eye cream in their 20s and 30s, according to our experts. That's because your mid 20s and 30s is when your body typically starts decreasing collagen, says Woolery-Lloyd. Collagen production is crucial for the under-eye area — it helps keep your skin firm, reducing the appearance of fine lines and crepey skin, says Talakoub.
How do you apply an eye cream?
You can apply eye cream in your morning and nighttime skin care routine. The best way to apply it is by gently tapping the formula into the skin until it's fully absorbed from the innermost to outermost areas, Garshick says. Dabbing gently is key since the eye area is delicate and you don't want to stretch the skin, according to Talakoub.
Typically, when using an eye cream in the morning, you should apply it after cleansing but before putting on a moisturizer and sunscreen, says Woolery-Lloyd.
For your nighttime routine, you should cleanse the skin and remove any makeup before applying your eye cream. If the eye cream has a thin consistency, apply it before your facial moisturizer; if it's thick, you can apply it after your moisturizer since the cream can act as a seal and lock in moisture, says Garshick.
Talakoub recommends having two eye creams, one for the day with SPF to protect against the sun's UV rays and another at night that is thick and creamy to prevent a "crepey" look under the eyes.

"The cream is soft, smooth, and did not leave greasy residue on my skin. It absorbed well and quickly.

"It smells a bit minty, as you would expect from a product that contains menthol. But, the scent goes away after rubbing the cream in to your skin, so you don't walk around smelling strongly of the scent – I've encountered that with other CBD creams.
"I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple and effective way to use CBD cream for pain."
