Polysporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment

Polysporin is a trusted name in wound care, and this collection brings together the formats that matter most for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. What sets Polysporin apart from many antibiotic ointments is its bacitracin and polymyxin B formula — a neomycin-free combination that's a common choice for people who react to triple-antibiotic products. Applied to a clean minor wound, it helps prevent infection while keeping the area moist for comfortable healing.

You'll find the right size for how you actually use it. The Johnson & Johnson Polysporin 15 gram tube and the 1 oz. tube suit home medicine cabinets and family use, giving you enough ointment for repeated applications over the life of a healing scrape. For clinics, first aid kits, and travel, the 0.9 g individual packets are single-use and sanitary — no shared tube, no cross-contamination, easy to stock in kits by the box.

Strength is consistent across the line at 500 IU–10,000 IU per gram, so the format you choose comes down to volume and setting rather than potency. A thin layer over a cleaned wound, one to three times daily, is the typical approach; cover with a bandage if needed to keep it in place.
