Johnson's : Neosporin + Pain Relief

This is a great spot treatment to use on popped pimples or big, painful zits. What i do to either of these is spot treat with a 10% bp, and then put this on after. Iv used this product for about a year or two (only a few times a month, when i can't stop myself from popping a pimple). This really helps prevent a popped pimple from coming back or spreading almost every time. Remember, don't use this too often! You will become resistant eventually.

This is a great product for treating those big stuborn pimples that don't seem to go away...it is honestly the only thing that works for me, and so much cheper than the $250 cream my derm perscribed. But it can't be used as an every day routine because your skin will build up a resistance. :(

I actually have used regular Neosporin on pimples before, but not consistently, as I hated the greasiness. Thanks to the previous reviews, I tried this cream, which is SO much better - totally non-greasy, I can even apply it over large patches of skin, if neccessary. The trick of using a little round band-aid over the Neosporin'd zit overnight is a great suggestion. Heals those nasty huge red inflamed ones right up. Use this if you're prone to acne. It will take some of the misery out of dealing with it.

i used to get small pimples all over my face, and now i get only a few pimple, which is nice, all except they are much larger and much redder! my friend suggested this to me, to put a dab of neosporin/polysporin on the pimple and cover it with a little "dot" band-aid. it works perfectly! it takes the redness and also the size of the pimple down a few notches. i use this if i get a pimple when i have an event coming up. it works really fast!

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.

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.

If you've popped a zit, try applying a layer of antibiotic cream to the area in order to prevent further inflamation and future scarring. I applied antibiotic cream to a popped zit last night, and it is currently about half the size/no longer painful. I also believe that, perhaps by keeping the skin moist and free of infection, the antibiotic cream will work to prevent any related scarring. I remember a long time ago my brother scraped up his back pretty extensively and the doctor recommended applying Neosporin (antibiotic cream) to his wounds consistently until they healed. This prevented scabbing and probably prevented scarring. The skin on his back shows no traces of the otherwise traumatic event.

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!

The past year I had mild to moderate acne. I tried every product out there and nothing helped. I was so desperate to try to solve the acne problem I ended up giving myself chemical burn. It was that bad. Lately it has been as bad though, but last month it got worse. Every time a pimple disappeared, one would show up right next to it. It was aggravating. So, my husband told me to try neosporin. So, I'm like wth let me give it a shot. Within one day I saw a HUGE difference. The redness went down as well as the bumps. Right now its almost a week and all the zits are gone. But honestly it works. But like acne product out there there is a 50% chance that it may or may not work for you. I was lucky enough to have this work for me. I just apply the neosporin on ONLY the acne. Do not apply it all over your face. Just dab it on the problem areas. I also do not wear makeup so it does not affect the healing process. If u see one dat is about to pop use a needle and clean the area.

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.
