Polysporin is always in my medicine cabinet because it works wonders. This one in particular is my current choice out of the bunch. It has Vitamin E in it, so when you put it on it helps hydrate your skin while it heals it at the same time. This stuff doesn't hurt at all when you put it on cuts and abrasions either, which I love. I notice that it helps heal my cuts, etc faster than if I just rinsed them with water and left them alone. It also does not have a scent, so there is no overpowering mediciney smell like other ointments. This stuff is just classic. Simple and it works.
