Good and easy to use

Good product. The consistency is thick with a smooth texture. No greasy residue. The packaging is easy to open and apply. From my experience the absorption is daily quick.

It works

Very smooth gel that is easy to apply directly to skin or onto a bandaid. We usually apply directly to the skin. Doesn't sting and any access is easy to wipe up.

A must have

This is a must in my household! I seem to always find a way to cut or scrape myself up either outside or in the kitchen. Being in the healthcare/ER world, I definitely recommend In every household and emergency kit

Fast healing ointment

Polysporin is always the number one trusted medicated ointment. With having small children, I always am sure to have a tube of the ointment with me. This definitely helps to heal cut and scrapes and keeps infection at bay

Amazing !

Great for all skin types! We use this everyday in office and it helps promote skin healing. Apply as needed and in my years of working in the medical field we had little to no reaction.

Better than store brands

This stuff is great. I found the store brand didn’t work as well for my scrapes and scratches. I take immunosuppressants so I need all the help I can get.

First aid kit must

A must have in a first aid kit or home supply. I always like to have this available for minor scratches/wounds. Ointment applys nicely without staining or residue.

A First Aid Staple in our Home 🩹

Polysporin is a go to for treatment of cuts or open wounds within our family. Clean the wound, then put a small amount of ointment on a bandaid to cover the area. This helps to keep bacteria at bay and allow the body time to heal.

Perfect for cuts and scrapes

I use this very very often, with having children and my husband, it works great. It’s easy to use and you don’t need much at all for all minor cuts and scrapes.

This was recommended by my dermatologist. He suggested I use this instead of Neosporin.

Keeps infection away.

Always helps heal and keeps down infection. Unscented and pure. Small packaging if you want to keep it in the box. Great value, worth the price for the quantity.

My go to for healing.

From someone who is allergic to Neosporin, this is the brand I go to for healing. It is easy to apply, unscented and not greasy on the skin. Great value for the price as well.

Never buying neosporin again!

I have been trying to heal a burn for a week. I put this on the burn and it’s healed more in 2 days than neosporin did in a week! This is my new go to.

old lot

The Polysporin website says you should not use an expired tube so I bought a new one from Target in June 2024 and the tube says it expires in Dec 2024. Target should not be selling these products that expire in just a few months, I should have a later date on it. Also the cap is near impossible to open.
