I think I will really have to give this a shot and see how it works. I have a bad problem with acne and I would love to see how well it actually helps. If it works, I think I will be buying an overstock of Neosporin LOL

been using neosporin for a while works really great my skins pretty much flawless my advice use it before bed and i personally dont wear any make up besides kohl so yeah no foundation or powder stuff

Neosporin is an antibiotic cream. It kills bacteria. Pimples are bacteria. Why didn't someone think of this before?

Sandpaper works better.

Neosporin works... But what I have found that works better is Tea Tree Oil. Even cheaper and more effective!

Neo for me was not good, even tho I didnt slather it all over, just on the pimple I broke out around it too- because it has a petroleum (or some thick greasy) base.

I've been using this 'secret' for about 10+ years. I like to put on a small amount before bed then cover with a Band Aid spot (the little circle) size to keep it on all night. It helps the big nasty zits but also helps on those big red, hard "mountain" zits that won't come to a head and hurt. Sometimes it reduces the size & tenderness, other times it brings those to a head, then the next night makes them go away.

TK, did you use the cream or gel? Sounds like the gel. Try the cream.

I've been using Neosporin for awhile and it does work most of the time. No icky dry peeling to deal with either.

Cetaphyl cleanser with 1-2 drop of "Wild Mediterranean Oregano" ($20-50 per bottle) works too. For a few months, I watched the guy who swears by it. He works at the health food store where I bought it and his skin went from red & rashy to perfect. He uses it once per day in the morning shower. That's it. I just started using it last night. Be careful to use only a small amount mixed in with your gentle cleanser. It burns a little but you will see results almost immediately. I suggest you find a good mask you are comfortable with and use it every other night. Don't forget to moisturize because it is very drying. Put a couple of drops under your tongue at night for an effective internal treatment too. Drink lots of water and then go out and live your life while it works! Stay positive. I KNOW how depressing skin conditions can be.

toothpaste dries acne blemishes up too..NOT gel but paste toothpaste. dab a bit on the blemish before bed & the next morning the blemish is dried up
