Hi There,
I am not aware of any ingredients that flare cold sores., however products that are very greasy can block pores and can exacerbate acne.
If you are having repeated flares of cold sores then you may benefit from discussing with your GP the pros and cons of a low dose of aciclovir orally twice a day. Treatments can then be directed at your acne knowing that the cold sores are under better control.
I hope this helps
