3. Neosporin

The antibiotic properties Neosporin contributes to cuts is assumed to spread when used on pimples. Unfortunately, the same rules do not apply.

Neosporin only sits on top of the skin, further clogging your pores without coming anywhere near acne-forming follicles. If you’ve tried this remedy in the past and noticed slight improvements, it was likely due to the emollients found in Neosporin. They can moisturize and soften the skin surrounding the pimple, reducing the severity of its appearance but they cannot cure the underlying issue.
