Maximum-Strength Triple Antibiotic Ointment with Pain Relief, Dual Action First Aid Wound Care, No-Sting Formula with Pramoxine HCl, Bacitracin Zinc, 1 oz Single Tube

Boy is the pain relief good with it. Cant beat a product like this! My dog gets sores on his little legs from a chicken allergy and the pain relief helps him not bother them or rub the medicine off. And they are finally healing (course he gets no poultry products in food or treats or pill pockets any more! It works great on itchy or achy sore spots on me too.

Works well and has Vaseline texture. Stays where you put it and works amazing.

I am a huge fan of ointments. I feel okay saying that here, but I know it's not something I should use to head off a profile on, say, Tinder or OKCupid. "OINTMENTLOVER69." Nope. Most people can't even stand the WORD "ointment." If I recall, "moist" and "ointment" were voted America's Least Favorite Words Of The Past 100 Years, or something like that. ANYway, I grew up surrounded by Vaseline, and A&D, and Desitin, and Hydrocortisone, and my very very favorite of all (you can feel it coming, I bet) Vicks Vap-O-Rub, like a beautiful teeny jar of winter night itself. Those products of my overprotected, well-moisturized youth felt reliable and timeless to me, and when I finally acquired a boyfriend, David, in my 20's, I discovered that he shared my love of classic unguents, and many a cold Minnesota night the two of us went to bed liberally slathered in mentholating, virus-killing, chap-preventing goo, eventually becoming glued to each other in our sleep, smelling like a nursing home. It was...everything I wanted. That relationship ended, though, long ago, after we'd moved first to Columbus, Ohio, and then to Seattle, and I don't know if I'll ever completely get over it. There's so much I miss about David, and there's things I find in the world as I go through my life that really only he would appreciate. Like, I wish we could talk about Neosporin Pain Relief Dual Action Ointment -- lying in bed on a lazy Saturday morning, or over pancakes at IHOP, and discuss whether it's ACTUALLY relieving pain as it kills germs, or whether there's a placebo/power-of-suggestion thing going on, because, seriously, how can it do that?!? It's not, like, numbing the way Lidocaine is...and it's not a Menthol/Camphor blend like Icy Hot and Tiger Balm...so what the heck special magical ingredient in this Neosporin can be taking away pain from a cut finger or blistered heel?!?!? And yet...it seems to actually happen! It really does! If I was still with David, I bet we'd set up some kind of spontaneous experiment, with one of us putting the Neosporin on a freshly bitten cuticle (me) and the other putting it on a patch of road rash suffered while mountain biking (him) and compare the pain relief and soothing power on different bodily regions and different amounts of nerve endings over time, because we really loved do-it-yourself science like that. Oh -- once -- after we'd both gotten really sunburned while hosting a rummage sale (I know! Sun in Seattle! We were not prepared!), we had a contest to see who could peel off the largest unbroken chunk of skin. And we were so impressed with our skin chunks that we collected them, and saved them in a jar, with the intention that we'd check on them at regular intervals, to see if they'd, like, decompose, or get dry and hardened, or...but then we forgot about the jar. And years later, after I'd moved back to Minneapolis, I found the jar in a box, and our skin was exactly as it had been, mixed together, like it was waiting for someone to rehydrate it, and.... I've digressed. Regardless of the science results, I bet my boyfriend David and I would both feel that Neosporin Plus seems to really work -- it's greasier and less heavy than regular Neosporin, but if I put it on cuts and abrasions at night, they're a lot better in the morning. It has no odor, and feels kind of nice. I've added Neosporin Dual Action to my list of favorite ointments. If only I could apply it to my hurting heart. (Oh come on. You knew that's how this review was going to end. Didn't you? You did.)

I swear by this stuff for all cuts and scrapes. Great value for money and lasts for a long time. It is a small container but a little goes a long way with this. The texture is quite greasy but it truly is so effective at healing any wound. Due to its greasiness I recommend using a bandage or gauze over it.

Not just for basic cuts and scrapes. Neosporin helped with cat bite and scratches. Neosporin is an essential first aid product to have. With triple antibiotic functionality it is great for ordinary cuts and scrapes but as in my case recently for cat bite and scratches too. Yup, I made the mistake of picking up a supposedly friendly stray cat. While in my hands it saw my cat and went wild. To avoid both cats fighting, I held onto the stray for dear life. He bit and scratched me pretty bad. Of course, it was the weekend after hours so I couldn't go to a walk-in or anything but considering how much bacteria a cats mouth and claws have, I immediately reached for the Neosporin. Neosporin was my friend. The clear ointment applied on smoothly. Ointment has a vaseline texture which is silky and hydrating on the skin and spreads easily. Therefore, not much was needed. No sting. No smell. It helped soothe my injuries. Although, I would not say it provided pain relief or any numbing at all. It did help keep infection at bay and in my opinion helped injuries heal faster with less redness and scabing. Too soon to tell if there will be scaring but this product has helped so much that I doubt it. See my pics for before and after using neosporin for 5 days. As you can see, this ointment is doing a superb job.

Great value for the money, helps to numb the pain for minor cuts, scraps and burns. Very effective, fragrance free and easy to remove with soap and water.

I’ve always been extremely happy with this ointment relieving & healing cuts & wounds quickly. The tube is designed nicely as the amount you squeeze is truly what you get out so there’s no waste. I purchased this with my subscribe & save order & the price is unbeatable. My 4 star reflects the pain relief description on this particular Neosporin. I chose this version for that reason. This type is no different than the regular Neosporin I’ve purchased in the past. This offers no pain relief. Yes, I recommend with a heads up on truly no pain relief.

GREAT PRODUCT especially if you need healing, anti-itch, plus anti-pain. I already love Neosporin (life with lots of nicks and scrapes doing construction work), but when I saw this product, I had to try it because my wife sometimes gets skin issues, that we don't want to get infected, and we want her to let them heal and not scratch (anti-itch and anti-pain). We are VERY happy with the results. Yes, it is very expensive (per ouch) but you don't need much plus it is one of the FEW products that actually works as claimed.
