Neosporin Ointment 0.5 oz —

Quick View: Neosporin Ointment has been a part of my life since my kids were toddlers. When I was young, good old soap and water cleaned off cuts and scrapes and, if I was unlucky, my mother would pull out the alcohol or peroxide. OUCH! Neosporin Ointment is a painless way to make sure scrapes and cuts don't get infected and it aids in healing. No home should be without it!

About Neosporin Ointment

This ointment helps to prevent infection due to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns with a trio of medicines in a base of cocoa butter, olive oil, and petroleum. It doesn't have much of a scent and goes on very thick and slightly greasy. I use it on my own cuts and scrapes and I never feel stinging or burning. In fact, the ointment is soothing. I then cover the area with a bandage and healing is fast and painless. I used this on my kids all through the bike riding years, the skateboarding escapades, and their tree climbing adventures. When my husband goes fishing with the boys (OK, technically one is a man at 21) in a remote area of the Adirondacks, he packs very little but he always packs Neosporin Ointment. It gives them all a bit of assurance that a little scrape won't turn into a big infection. This product aids in healing, reduces pain, and wards off infections. It's simply a must have!

My Viewpoint

If you don't have Neosporin Ointment in the house, go get some! You'll be amazed how often you reach for it. Some people use it on popped pimples and swear it wards off scarring. Others use it on sunburns. It's very versatile but always keep it out of your eyes, of course, and away from kids. This should be in everyone's first aid kit. It is a much better disinfectant than alcohol or peroxide wipes and it has long lasting effects. I have to go with 5 stars. It has been a part of our lives for years and I count on it to keep little boo boos from turning into big ones.

Comments about PattyTherre’s Review

I am also a fan of Neosporin Ointment. I have used it for years and it is a staple in our first aid kit and tackle box. My father is allergic to it however and we didn't find that out until recently. So we have to use another product instead.

I am a huge Neosporin fan...We have two tubes - one in the first aid kit, and one that we use all the time. It ABSOLUTELY does everything it advertises. It's great!

Great review. I totally agree! We have three boys who are always getting scraped up and it is amazing to me how well this works. It even works after the scrape starts to heal if it looks a little infected.
