POLYSPORIN® Blister Treatment Review

My little dancing partner.

With my little cousin's wedding and vacation to the Canadian Rockies around the the corner, I was super pumped to receive this blister treatment from Polysporin for review.

The packaging advertised that this product would act like a second skin to support the natural moisture balance, relieve blister pain immediately, protect and cushion against rubbing, and offer fast wound healing. Knowing that we would be doing a lot of mountain hikes, it was perfect timing to test it out!

How it works: Before applying, you need to clean and dry the affected surface as best possible. It's important that the blister area is free of creams and oils, otherwise the product will not stick. Once dry, simply unpeel the paper, and apply cushion firmly over blister, smoothing edges down well. Voila! Good as new!

Results: I put this package in my purse, knowing it would likely come in handy during our trip. Very happy I did. Halfway up Sulphur Mountain, my new runners (that I had just bought for hiking!) started rubbing against my heel. 

At first, I tried to ignore the pain (thinking I should wait for a full blister to appear to provide an authentic review), but when it started burning, I decided to heck with it --I needed relief! 

Within seconds of applying the treatment, my heel was as good as new! In fact, I think the product even prevented the blister from ever full forming. 

The treatment cushioned my heel for days and lasted through my cousin's wedding reception, which meant I got to dance with this little turkey (see above).

Bottom line: I love this blister treatment. It's MUCH more effective than regular Band Aids at protecting blisters. Better yet, if you apply this product at first sensation of pain, you can avoid getting a blister at all! Highly recommend.

I received this product for free from Polysporin in exchange for my honest review.
