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:

Definitely works, did not leave my skin dry or oily

I had a monster of a zit and it def needed some relief- so of course I popped it. It was painful and started to bleed, so I went online to find out how to heal it b/c I knew this was going to turn into a scar. I read that I should dab some neosporin on it so I did so 3 times a day for one day- and it's pretty much gone!

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:

Reduces size and magnatude of large upcoming bacteria infested zits. Removes smaller popped pimples and erases chance of scars.

I have been using neosporin for a little over a month and have seen a smoother complexion overall. I used to have uneven skin due to constant breakouts. Now i have practically no breakouts and even when i get a pimple, it is so tiny that it disappears within a day or less EVEN WHEN I Dont use the neosporin. I believe my face had such a hard time healing before because i didnt have enough good bacteria to kill the bad bacteria, but now i have been saved!

Pros:

It helps heal up picked or popped pimples faster and helps reduced scaring.

Cons:

none that I can think of.

I used the Neosporin plus pain relief because it is CREAMY not greasy. So it doesn't have Petroleum Jelly base so it then shouldn't clog your pores more. It of course cost a little bit more and its smaller but it so much much better when you need to use it on your face I know now that Target has their own generic brand of it I haven't used it yet because I still have the name brand but I plan on using that soon. I'm sure there isnt too much of a difference

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:

- Dramatically reduces size and redness
- Helps heal the scars acne leaves behind

Cons:

NONE!

I use Proactiv (which works wonders for me) but I would still get one or two HUGE blemishes on my face that would take days to reduce in size and, since of course i couldnt help myself and popped them, would leave behind dark scars. I decided to try Neosporin and IT WORKS WONDERS. I bought those little circular bandaids and I put a dab of Neosporin on and then cover it with a bandaid before bed and the next day the pimple is either reduced to almost nothing with little redness or the blemish is completely gone. I also apply it to residual scars from previous acne and it helps lighten them as well. NEOSPORIN IS A MUST-HAVE!
