Below are the most common recipes.

Trichopolum (metranidazole) is also an effective antibiotic. It prevents bacteria from multiplying, thereby gradually minimizing their number on the skin.
Popular recipes:

With salicylic acid
It has a good drying effect, destroys bacteria on the skin and reduces the secretion of sebum.
The acid even copes with post-acne spots, penetrating deep into the skin and stimulating blood flow to the affected areas.
Thanks to its ability to dissolve fat, salicyl can reduce the number of blackheads or make them completely invisible. Although the face can be wiped with regular salicylic acid, when mixed with other active substances, the effect will be more noticeable.
Some recipes:

- Mix 50 ml of boric and salicylic acid with 6-7 g of zinc. Apply this solution in the morning;
- hydrogen peroxide, camphor and ammonia, take 4 tablespoons each, add 50 ml of water and 20 ml of salicylic acid.
With calendula
Calendula has an anti-inflammatory effect and has regenerative properties. Thanks to it, you can get rid of acne scars and spots. It is able to draw out pus from deep formations and reduces the production of subcutaneous fat.
Recipes:
- add ten crushed aspirin and erythromycin tablets to a jar of calendula tincture (100 ml);
- Grind chloramphenicol and paracetamol into powder (12 pieces each) and add tincture to the jar.
Possible complications
Among the complications, an allergic reaction most often occurs in the form of redness, itching, swelling and rashes. This is due to the individual characteristics of the skin.
How to use it correctly
The first thing you need to do is cleanse your face. To do this, you do not need to use rough washcloths, brushes or scrubs. It is enough to clean with regular washing soap or gel and let the skin dry.
After this, you need to apply a small amount of the composition on a cotton pad and wipe your face with it. It is better to use no more than once a day so as not to dry out the skin. If your skin is prone to dryness, you can dilute the composition with water and apply it directly to pimples.
After 15-20, when the product is absorbed, it is necessary to moisturize the skin with cream. This applies even to those with oily skin. If the skin is too dry, it can provoke the release of even more subcutaneous fat.
The same composition should not be used for more than 2 weeks, as bacterial resistance to antibiotics may develop. It is better to replace the composition or take a break for 2 weeks.
If acne appears due to hormonal changes in the body (for example, before menstruation), then you can use the mash 5 days before.

Vidal's milk
A very simple remedy that fights one of the causes of rashes - demodex mites. You can get the mixture either according to a recipe or without it.
The composition includes ethyl and camphor alcohol, boric and salicylic acid, glycerin and sulfur. Sometimes some kind of antibiotic may be added to the composition.
The drug is quite strong and has a specific smell, which may cause allergies in some. Therefore, before purchasing, it is better to consult a dermatologist and he will write a prescription with proportions that are right for you.

The drug is used for various skin diseases, including heat rash in children. Therefore, it can be used by both children and pregnant women without fear of side effects.
Treats wounds, burns, bedsores, herpes and eczema.
The bottle must be shaken thoroughly. The suspension is applied to clean, dry skin in a thin layer and left on the skin for several hours. After a while, rinse with warm water. For greater effect, you can apply the mixture overnight.
Zenerite
One of the most famous drugs for acne. It can also be called a chatterbox, since it comes in two bottles that need to be mixed and shaken.
It contains erythromycin (an antibiotic) and zinc. It is great for reducing oily skin, killing harmful bacteria and clearing the skin. The prepared mixture can only be used within 5 weeks after preparation.
Indications
Boltushki are quite aggressive drugs and can be used as an emergency means of combating rashes. Usually the result is noticeable after just a few uses.
But they will not help with severe forms of acne. Also, the effect will only be temporary if the rash is associated with an internal problem (diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, hormonal disorders).
Contraindications
Bolts cannot be used:
- children under 7 years old;
- pregnant, breastfeeding;
- if you have an intolerance or allergy to any component;
- owners of delicate and sensitive skin.
Side effect
Since some recipes use antibiotics, an allergic reaction may occur.
But one of the main drawbacks is dry skin. Each recipe uses large amounts of alcohol or acids, which can be very drying to your skin.
This can be avoided if you do not forget to sufficiently moisturize the skin with creams and do not apply mash too often (once a day).
