Personal Experience

Finding myself partaking in harsher outdoor activities with tools, wood, field equipment, and vegetation I quickly learned the value of healing quickly and preventing further infection. My main tool prior to Neosporin Pain was hydrogen peroxide, which works well, but fails to keep the cut continually clean & does not offer the added bonus of pain relief. I have found with Neosporin that the claims of are generally true as the product does increase the rate of healing, while preventing infections to the open wound.

I did not find that the pain relief was as prominent as claimed, I really did not notice much of a decrease in actual pain to the area, but unlike the sting of hydrogen peroxide it did not cause extra pain. I personally apply a Band-Aid to prevent the product from smearing everywhere after application.

Finally I would highly recommend the gel because the cream does not stay on the cut or cover in a thick protective layer like the gel. In my opinion I would recommend the Neosporin Plan Gel over the Pain relief, however both work equally as well when it comes to healing, protecting, and preventing.
