Pros:

it heals the marks left behind from when you pick at a pimple. If you picked a scab, a dab of this will help to heal it and diminish the redness (just like it would on a cut).

Cons:

its not a product for acne, only for cuts and scrapes so just use it if you've picked a scab on your face.

it helps to heal the mark and also helps to fade the redness and stops any infection.

i only use neosporin if i couldn't resist popping a pimple. since a popped pimple is essentially an open wound i apply the neosporin cream (less oily and clogging than the original ointment) to the pimple to prevent it from getting infected. i've noticed that the anti-bacterial agents also occasionally improve my acne. however i'm going to discourage using neosporin for anything beyond preventing infection because of the mentioned long-term effect 0f decreasing your skin's natural ability to fight off bacteria.

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:

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:

Neosporin is great, just wanted to recommend the cream based instead of the ointment. It's works great when you put it on overnight, and you have no problem with linen getting stained

Cons:

My fear is building a resistance to it.

try it!

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
