Why Some Formulas Look Similar

Pain Relief, Burn Relief and Pain, Itch & Scar

Pain Relief Ointment, Burn Relief and Pain, Itch & Scar all combine bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate with pramoxine HCl. Their key differences are their product positioning, packaging and supporting formulation: Pain Relief Ointment focuses on general minor wound pain, Burn Relief is positioned around minor burns, and Pain, Itch & Scar adds itch and scar-appearance benefits.

Understanding the Ingredients

What Is Inside Each Neosporin Formula?

The range uses combinations of first-aid antibiotics and external analgesics. Understanding which ingredients are present makes it easier to distinguish the classic formula, numbing ointment, pain-relief products and burn-focused option.

2

Dual-Antibiotic Cream

The Pain Relief Cream contains two first-aid antibiotics rather than three. It does not contain bacitracin.

Neomycin sulfate + Polymyxin B sulfate
The Antibiotic Ingredients

Three First-Aid Antibiotics Used Across the Range

The physical product label lists each of these ingredients as a first-aid antibiotic. The quantity shown below is the labelled strength in each gram of product.

01

Bacitracin Zinc

500 units per gram

Included in the five triple-antibiotic ointments. It is not present in Neosporin Pain Relief Dual Action Cream.

02

Neomycin Sulfate

3.5 mg per gram

Present across all six formulas in this collection, including both the ointments and the Pain Relief Cream.

03

Polymyxin B Sulfate

10,000 units per gram

Also present across all six formulas and paired with neomycin in the dual-antibiotic cream.

Added Pain-Relief Ingredients

Lidocaine and Pramoxine Are Different Analgesics

These ingredients are labelled as external analgesics, but they do not appear in every Neosporin product and should not be treated as the same ingredient.

Numbing Pain Relief

Lidocaine

40 mg per gram · 4%

Lidocaine is used in Neosporin + Lidocaine to numb the application area and temporarily reduce pain associated with minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

Found in: Neosporin + Lidocaine only.
Maximum-Strength Pain Relief

Pramoxine HCl

10 mg per gram · 1%

Pramoxine is used for temporary topical relief of pain or discomfort associated with minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

Found in: Pain, Itch & Scar, Pain Relief Cream, Pain Relief Ointment and Burn Relief.
Product Format

Ointment or Cream?

The active ingredients are only part of the distinction. The range also includes different physical formats and supporting inactive ingredients.

Neosporin Ointments

The ointments use petrolatum-containing bases. Exact inactive ingredients vary by product, so the physical packaging should always be checked.

  • Thicker ointment format
  • Includes Original, Lidocaine and Burn Relief
  • Also includes Pain, Itch & Scar and Pain Relief Ointment

Pain Relief Cream

The light-blue Pain Relief product is the only cream in this collection and is presented as a fast-absorbing formula.

  • Dual-antibiotic rather than triple-antibiotic
  • Does not contain bacitracin
  • Contains pramoxine HCl for temporary pain relief
!
Always check the complete ingredient list.

Do not use a product if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Products with similar packaging may contain different antibiotics, analgesics and inactive bases. Follow the directions and warnings on the individual physical product before use.

Select any question below to reveal the answer. Always check the Drug Facts printed on the exact product supplied before use.

Is Neosporin available in the UK?

Yes. Neosporin is a US-market first-aid range and may not be commonly available through ordinary UK retailers.

Kingdom States is a specialised UK importer of American products, offering a dedicated selection of US-labelled Neosporin products with fulfilment through its domestic UK delivery network.

What is Neosporin used for?

Neosporin topical antibiotic products are intended as first aid to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns. Selected formulas also provide temporary relief from pain, itching or discomfort associated with minor injuries.

Which Neosporin product should I choose?

The main differences are the active ingredients and format:

  • Original: triple-antibiotic ointment without an added external pain-relieving ingredient.
  • + Lidocaine: triple antibiotics with 4% lidocaine for temporary numbing pain relief.
  • Pain, Itch & Scar: triple antibiotics with 1% pramoxine in a specialist ointment formula.
  • Pain Relief Cream: dual antibiotics with 1% pramoxine in a fast-absorbing cream.
  • Pain Relief Ointment: triple antibiotics with 1% pramoxine in a petrolatum ointment.
  • Burn Relief: triple antibiotics with 1% pramoxine, positioned particularly for minor burns.
Do all Neosporin products contain the same antibiotics?

No. Most ointments in this collection use the triple-antibiotic combination of bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate.

Neosporin + Pain Relief Cream is different: it is a dual-antibiotic cream containing neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate without bacitracin. Always check the individual product ingredients before ordering or applying.

What is the difference between lidocaine and pramoxine?

Lidocaine and pramoxine are different external analgesic ingredients used for temporary topical pain relief.

The purple Neosporin + Lidocaine formula contains 4% lidocaine. Pain Relief Cream, Pain Relief Ointment, Burn Relief and Pain, Itch & Scar use 1% pramoxine hydrochloride instead.

What is the difference between Neosporin cream and ointment?

Neosporin ointments use an oil-based or petrolatum-style base and remain more noticeable on the skin. Neosporin + Pain Relief Cream is a water-containing, fast-absorbing cream with a lighter feel.

The cream also uses a dual-antibiotic formula, so the difference is not limited to texture alone.

What age can use Neosporin?

The products in this collection are labelled for adults and children aged two years and over when used as directed.

For a child younger than two years of age, ask a doctor before use.

How should Neosporin be applied?

Clean the affected area, then apply a small amount—approximately equal to the surface area of a fingertip—one to three times daily. The treated area may be covered with a sterile bandage.

Follow the directions printed on the exact tube or carton supplied.

Can Neosporin be used on deep wounds, animal bites or serious burns?

These products are intended for minor first-aid injuries. Ask a doctor before use on deep or puncture wounds, animal bites or serious burns.

Do not apply in the eyes or over large areas of the body.

How long can I use Neosporin?

Stop use and ask a doctor if you need to use the product for longer than one week, if the condition persists or becomes worse, or if symptoms clear and then return within a few days.

Can I use Neosporin if I have an ingredient allergy?

Do not use a Neosporin product if you are allergic to any of its active or inactive ingredients.

Stop using it and seek medical advice if a rash or another possible allergic reaction develops. Review the complete ingredient list before application.

How does Kingdom States delivery work?

Order before 4pm for free tracked next-day UK delivery through our domestic UK delivery network.
