Our take on the Neosporin Original Antibiotic Ointment

Neosporin Original is a first aid antibiotic ointment in a 0.5 oz tube. It combines bacitracin zinc with neomycin and polymyxin B to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns, and it is formulated to reduce the look of scars. The 0.5 oz tube is the small size, so it suits a purse, car or first aid kit. At $4.98 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this size typically costs.
