I am writing this to let all Polysporin users know that you should try using Polysporin to reduce redness, inflammation and acne swelling.

Polysporin is a great common drugstore antibiotic cream (Bacitracin Zinc and Polymyxin B Sulfate Ointment, U.S.P.) It is usually applied to moisturize and minimize the appearance of scars and prevents infection.

Try it on a few facial blemishes you will surely be surprised! It tends to make your skin oily where it is applied however an overnight application before bed ensures best results.

Pros: Works Fast
Cons: None

My daughter suffers from extreme skin allergies, which get infected easily. In a recent trip we made to the states we forgot to bring the Bactroban (which the doctor recommended and is by prescription only) with us. On the second day of the trip she got an ugly infection and we were going crazy because we didn't have the Bactroban. With out this the probability of going to the hospital is at about 90%. We were desperate and before going to the hospital we went to a supermarket with a pharmacy. We started looking for Neosporin but wanted something better. I saw this brand and believing what it said bought it. Believe me is worth every penny. The infection was gone in less than two days and that's something that not even Bactroban could have done. Try it and if you have kids keep one with you always.

Pros: It worked I am not in pain or itchy..Well worth the money.
Cons: I haven't found any with this product.
