Pros:

Works fast and keeps the area from becoming further inflamed.

Cons:

Greasy, and will clog pores if used too much.

I always put neosporin on zits I've popped, usually right before bed with a band-aid over the area. It keeps most of the redness at bay and heals the spot quickly while keeping it from scabbing/flaking up. I've put neosporin on freshly formed zits before and haven't had much luck with making them go away, it seems this product only works magic on popped zits. All in all, definitely worth using on sore, inflamed acne.

Pros:

Amazing!!!

Cons:

None

I have been dealing with these horrible cystic scabs on my facce for over 2 weeks now...Looks like I'm getting over the Chiken Pocks!! I decided to start rubbing Neosporin Cream on the infected areas. These nasty things are almost completely gone now!! This will not help with any forming acne...But, if you popped one that is bleeding or scabbing then put this on it....then leave it alone!! Don't try picking at it more or touching it at all. Apply this daily and you will be amazed. Also will help with any scaring you may have done when picking and popping these things. Good Luck!!

Pros:

Neosporin + pain relief cream works great & I love it! I see significant improvement after years of wasting money on acne products. Simple is better.

Cons:

Don't overuse because you may become resistant to the ingredients.

After I became an adult, I started getting acne. I have spent thousands on acne products, dermatologist & prescriptions. After nothing worked, I began praying that God would cure me from this horrible problem and spirit spoke to me and said stop using anything made for acne. If you think about it, ACNE PRODUCTS DON'T CURE ACNE! The acne product companies would be out of business cause if they did because there would be no need to keep buying the creams, cleansers & lotions. Just like illnesses & diseases vs. prescriptions & treatments. So I began just using a simple cream cleanser (Olay Definity Illuminating Cream Cleanser) not made for acne. I don't use my hands to wash my face, I use the daily facial cleansing cloths & I put the cream cleanser on the cloth. One cloth usually lasts me about 1 week since I hang it to dry after each use. And while my skin is still damp, I apply a fingertip of the neosporin cream to my skin & I rub in every other night or as needed. Give it a week or

Pros:

It's perfect for when a zit breaks, and bleeds. It disinfects, and heals leaving no scaring. It helps to sooth dryness and relieve pain of deep cystic acne if used correctly.

Cons:

HOWEVER it has petroleum jelly in it which clogs pores so it shout NOT be used over large areas/ in large amounts.

Its not expensive, and it works well when used in the correct manner. Find what amounts works best for your skin and don't use it for too long as the bacteria can build immunity to the active ingredients. Its a good solution for when you pop a zit, and if you just need something to keep rare breakouts at bay. Make sure you wash your face well before you use this to prevent the jelly from trapping dirt in your skin.

Pros:

Helps zits heal quickly and dries them out nicely.

Cons:

Greasy/oily.

I've been using neosporin since a friend told me about it 7 or 8 years ago. It actually works really well! It dries out zits and if a zit has been popped, it helps it heal just like any other wound. You just have to be careful to use very limited amounts directly on the zit. I only use it at night and I try to apply it about an hour or so before I go to bed so the ointment doesn't smear.

Pros:

EVERYTHING

Cons:

Nothing so far

This is literally the ONLY thing that has worked for my acne/redness left behind. Over about the last 6 years, I have tried everything to get rid of my acne. I had tried over-the-counter products, prescription creams, minocycline, and other home remedies. Nothing worked until this. It's amazing! It's literally a miracle! You should try it!

Pros:

Helps with the treatment of healing of those "Must Be Popped" zits. Plus aids in prevention of scaring- its cheaper, smells better, and just as effective as Mederma.

Cons:

Since the product contains an antibiotic of the sorts, it would make sense that you or something would develop a resistance.

When I veg out at home for the day, I would apply this to my face for the day, maybe apply a second time. This brand/product also contains coco butter, vitamin e, and other additives when compared to generic brand ointments. However, I do wonder if simple petroleum jelly would prove just as beneficial, which a little cheaper.

Pros:

Works!

Cons:

A little bit greasy

I guess it can't be used regularly...?

This is the best scarring prevention magic serum I've used. I use this if/when I shave and cut a zit or those rare times I pop one. Basically anytime there is blood involved I put a small dab on the red spot. I then usually follow up for the next couple of nights on the same spot with Neosporin and the redness goes away. What would otherwise turn into yet another scar fades evenly into nothing. I think it is crucial to keep this on hand for those times when skin breaks or bleeds as a scarring prevention. Obviously it is not to be used to cover the face in a regimen. I do wonder if the magic anti scarring ingredient in Neosporin can be isolated and made into a safe to use daily treatment? I also wonder what if I had used this on all the zits that became scars? Could I have prevented the scarring? I have had no better luck with tricky would be scars.
