Product Review: Neosporin


On a beauty website, you may find it odd to have a product review on Neosporin. After all, it’s for cuts, right? Yes, Neosporin is excellent for cuts, but it can also an excellent and inexpensive heavy duty lip treatment.

I have mentioned many times before that I have problems with dry skin. In the winter, this includes incredibly dry lips that crack. I normally have to use an intensive moisturizer on my lips, but come winter and even my 100% pure shea butter doesn’t do its job. That’s when Neosporin comes in.

Applying it on my lips like I would any other lip moisturizer provides relief from the dry cracking feeling within days. I thought applying Neosporin to my lips would by greasy and thick, but it actually glides on easily and leaves a glossy sheen. For anyone who has seriously dry lips, I would recommend Neosporin over any expensive lip treatment. For a great price, it does a great job.

This entry was fresh in my mind when I had to run to the store to get something to deal with chapped lips and a sore nose from a cold. Wandering around in the pharmacy department of my local Target store, I found myself standing in front of the Neosporin. I picked that up along with chapstick. It worked wonders. Thanks for the tip!

Wow, I never would have thought of that. I'll be sure to try it out - these below-zero temps are causing me heartache! Thanks.
