is neosporin considered an antibiotic
Thereâs a delicate balance with acne and moisturizing and that could explain why triple antibiotic ointments, such as Neosporin, can make your acne seem like itâs improving. Neosporinâs ingredients are intended as a wound-healing aid, which means while they wonât kill acne bacteria, they will help skin to heal. Moisturizing helps to heal the appearance of scars, and works even better under something occlusive, like petrolatum (International Journal of Cosmetic Science).
