Modern cosmetics offer a greater selection of acne treatments, but this does not mean that they are effective. Let's consider a good and effective remedy, which is popularly called talker. You can prepare this drug at home. All components are sold in pharmacies and are available without a doctor's prescription. The main components of the mash will be chloramphenicol and salicylic acid. To prepare mash according to different recipes, some components change, but the effect will be the same - clean skin.
Recipe for mash with boric acid
You can cook it at home. The composition of boric acid mash contains four main drugs.
- You need to take 4 grams of erythromycin and zinc oxide, mix them with solutions of boric and salicylic acid.
- The alcohol strength of the solutions taken should not exceed 2%, so as not to cause harm, but to get rid of acne gently.
- Do not be alarmed by the presence of boric acid in the recipe, because it is very effective in the fight against inflammation. Its composition allows you to literally pull out subcutaneous inflammation. This is only a temporary phenomenon, after a few days the situation will change for the better and the face will clear up.
Tatyana is 20 years old. A friend advised me to try the anti-acne powder. She always has clear skin, unlike me. I have long suffered from acne on my forehead and cheeks. To prepare the mash, I purchased all the ingredients at the pharmacy. Mixed all the ingredients and applied it to the face. I didn’t notice any effect the first time, but after a week of use, the inflammation went away, the acne got healthier, and the skin became much clearer. Now, always at the slightest appearance of acne, I apply the mash to this place.
Chatter based on chloramphenicol and salicylic acid
The first component will be chloramphenicol; you will need 5 grams of it for preparation. In addition to chloramphenicol, the mash will contain boric and salicylic acid. The strength of these solutions should not exceed 2% in order to, as in the previous case, not harm the skin.
- Levomycetin must be crushed into powder and salicylic and boric acid, 50 ml each, must be added to it in equal proportions.
- All components are thoroughly mixed.
- The finished product can be applied to the skin as soon as the chloramphenicol dissolves.
- Unfortunately, dermatologists do not often recommend using such a mash, since it contains a very strong antibiotic, due to which the skin becomes clean.
Sometimes medical alcohol is added to the mash with chloramphenicol, but this is not necessary, since the components included in the composition are very effective, and the antibiotic is part of many cosmetics used in the fight against acne. Why pay more when you can make an effective remedy at home with minimal effort. The prepared preparation will last for a long time, just shake it before each use.
Anastasia is 26 years old. All my life I suffered from acne all over my face. I tried many different remedies. Many drugs had an effect, but it was only temporary and as soon as I stopped using them, the acne returned in the same volume. I learned the recipe for mash from the Internet. I didn’t expect a good result, but I decided to try. Almost all the components were in the medicine cabinet at home. I used the chatterbox every day in the evening. I noticed the results quickly, my acne practically disappeared. Now I use it occasionally so that my skin doesn’t get used to the antibiotic.
Chatter with calendula
Another effective recipe for acne mash is a remedy prepared with calendula tincture. Its composition contains only three medications, chloramphenicol, aspirin, and calendula tincture.
- You need to take three tablets of each of the listed drugs, grind them to a powder and add 50 ml of calendula tincture.
- Shake everything thoroughly and wait for the medications to dissolve.
- Afterwards, you can wipe your face with the product.
- In cases where the face is not completely affected by acne, but there are rashes in some places, the mash is applied directly to the problem areas.
- Using this product to combat acne, you can quickly cleanse your facial skin, giving it its former, healthy appearance.
Review: Anna 16 years old. As soon as the time of adolescence came, my face was covered with ugly acne. I fought them with the help of washing gels and expensive creams. The acne went away, but a week later it appeared again. My mother told me about the chatterbox. At my age, she had the same problem as me. Mom helped me prepare the product and told me how to use it. Acne is gone! There weren't even any traces left. Now I keep a ready-made chatterbox at home just in case.
Preparing any mash at home using the products listed will not be difficult, but it is important to know how to apply the product correctly so as not to harm the skin. All solutions contained in the composition contain alcohol and dry out the skin. It is necessary to avoid contact of the product with the skin in the eye area to avoid damage. The effect that chatterboxes have is the same despite the different components.
It all depends on which components suit the person who wants to get rid of acne the most. The duration of the course of treatment lasts about a month, after which it is necessary to take a short break so that the components contained in the mash do not cause addiction. When the skin gets used to certain components, it will have a less positive effect, although it is designed to provide a visible result almost from the first days of use.
After taking a break of several weeks, resume the procedures. To consolidate the result, use additional acne cream or cleansing gel. Do not overdo it, otherwise you can dry out the skin, which will lead to peeling.
Method of using the talker
- Before applying the mash, wash your skin well.
- This can be done either with special gels intended for washing or with regular soap; it is better to use tar soap.
- Pre-washing your face will cleanse the skin of impurities, open pores and remove excess sebum.
- It is not recommended to use peelings, as they can damage already inflamed skin.
- You can use the scrub when the pimples dry out and begin to go away.
- You need to apply the product directly with a cotton swab. If acne has spread all over the face, then it is necessary to wipe the entire face, paying special attention to problem areas. In cases where there are few acne on the face, you can apply the prepared preparation directly to the inflammation.
- A cotton swab does not need to be moistened with chatter, but literally soaked so that wet marks remain on the face after application. Next, let the product absorb into your facial skin.
Salicylic acid, which is part of the talkers, has a strong degreasing effect. The glands can respond to this by increasing the production of sebum, so in order not to dry out the skin, after using the mash, when it is completely absorbed, apply a moisturizing, light cream to your face. It will help soothe the skin and restore balance.
How to use an acne spray
The chatter will help solve the problem if you are worried about a mild rash or individual pimples.
She cannot cope with profuse rashes. However, it can be used as a prophylactic and perfectly tones the skin. It is better to use the products once a day - at night, because... otherwise, you may dry out your skin. Daytime use is not recommended due to the fact that the composition contains components that increase sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.
There are no complicated instructions for use: before use, the product must be shaken thoroughly, then applied to a clean cotton swab and wiped over the inflamed areas. It is advisable to wipe with massaging movements, thanks to this the composition will penetrate inside faster. It is important to avoid the areas around the eyes and lips.
After applying the product, moisturize the skin with cream.
The mash should be applied to previously cleansed skin. The best way to do this is to wash your face. Under no circumstances should you use cleaning products that contain alcohol.
If during treatment the skin becomes very dry, you need to take a break and allow it to recover. You should not use decorative cosmetics that will clog pores.
When treating acne, it is recommended to combine the use of medications with. The emphasis should be on vegetables, fruits and dairy products. Fatty, fried, smoked and sweet foods, as well as alcohol, should be excluded. It is very important to drink at least 2-2.5 liters of clean water - this will help cleanse the body and remove toxic substances and toxins.
The duration of treatment is 1 month, since prolonged use can lead to addiction. You can repeat the course of treatment after 2 weeks.
Ingredients that fight acne
In order to understand how mash works in the fight against acne, you need to understand its composition. The ingredients from which the mash is made are only medicinal substances. This explains the effect of the chatterbox in the fight against acne.
Antibiotics provide a good and long-lasting effect in the fight against inflammation. Levomycetin, aspirin are sold in all pharmacies and it will not be difficult to purchase them. Antibiotics are aimed at suppressing bacterial growth and treating skin infections.
These drugs are widely used in homemade masks and lotions. The only drawback is that they become addictive over time, so you shouldn’t use the talker all the time, but use it occasionally.
Antiseptic substances included in the mash include drugs such as boric acid and zinc oxide. They differ from the action of antibiotics in that they are not addictive and can be used regularly. These antiseptic medications do an excellent job of treating acne on the face.
Means to fight bacteria on the face - aspirin, salicylic acid
. They actively fight the formation of bacteria, which in most cases are the cause of acne. Bacteria can spread inflammation further along the skin, which is why it is so important to prevent their proliferation. The medicinal preparations included in the chatterbox perform this task very well.
When preparing mash, look at the expiration date of the drugs; do not use expired ones, because they may not have the desired effect. Prepare mash at home and treat your skin correctly.
To combat acne on the skin, mash is used - a medicinal mixture that must be shaken well before use. A pharmacist can prepare such a composition, but it is not difficult to make the product yourself.
When should you use an acne lotion?
When using for the first time, be sure to test the mash on a small area of skin in case of possible allergic reactions.
Before use, the product must be shaken (hence the name of the shaker) so that the small particles in the solution are evenly distributed and the drug becomes homogeneous in structure. After this, you need to apply the suspension to a cotton pad and wipe the rash areas. In most cases, washing after this is not required.
It is recommended to use the mash twice a day on clean and dry skin. Alcohol-based formulations are best applied once a day before bed. After using them, you should definitely use a moisturizer, since alcohol solutions have a strong drying effect and can irritate the skin.
Most products prepared at the pharmacy have a short shelf life, so it is better to store them in the refrigerator. Your doctor or pharmacy pharmacist will give you precise recommendations on this matter.
When treating acne with talkatives, it is recommended to follow the following diet:
- exclude sweets, flour, smoked, fatty, fried foods;
- eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as foods rich in fiber and B vitamins;
- drink more water.
Proper nutrition is one of the important components in the treatment of acne.
The use of talker is recommended in the following cases:
- The presence of minor skin lesions with acne;
- Tendency to acne - in this case, the product helps to tone the skin and is used for preventive purposes.
When acne or extensive rashes appear, the mash is ineffective; in such situations, you need to contact a dermatologist to diagnose, determine the causes and prescribe complex therapy.
The mash is a suspension intended for disinfecting, drying and cleansing problem areas on the face (acne in different stages).
Previously, this product was sold in pharmacies ready-made, but now you need to prepare it either yourself, or go to the pharmacy with a prescription from a doctor, which will indicate the exact dosage of each ingredient.
If acne does not go away, the number of pimples only increases, you should definitely consult a dermatologist. Any type of treatment must be approved by a doctor, since it must be selected individually. And self-treatment during the acute stage can lead to unexpected results: if you increase blood flow in the problem area, the situation can only worsen.
Dermatologists often prescribe using mash at home as an effective and simple remedy for boils and acne. But there are many recipes for its preparation that need to be followed depending on the specifics and course of the disease. Some of them are considered more or less universal. We will describe them to you.

- there are restrictions on use;
- risks of side symptoms;
- excessive dry skin with frequent or prolonged use;
- the need for additional hydration;
- lack of a positive effect in the treatment of severe stages and advanced cases of rash on the face;
- the mash only affects the superficial layers of the skin;
- lack of treatment for the root cause of acne and inflammation.
Attention
Pregnant and lactating women should not use the chatterbox as it contains ethyl alcohol.
The disadvantage of this product is that it only removes the external manifestation of pimples and inflammation. If the cause of these skin blemishes is not treated, the problem will return again.

Side effects:
- redness of the skin of the face;
- dryness;
- excessive peeling;

An allergic reaction cannot be ruled out if the patient has an individual intolerance to certain components. With long-term use of antibiotics containing antibiotics, there is a risk of addiction, which will reduce the therapeutic effectiveness of the medicine.
In case of severe severity of the disease, the talker will not have the desired therapeutic effect. In this case, it is prescribed as an auxiliary drug for symptomatic treatment.

Does chatter help with acne?
Drugs claiming to be effective treatments for acne appear on the market almost every day. The demand for such products is consistently high: the skin responds with pimples or acne to an extra piece of cake or spicy chicken, stress, or a hormonal surge. This problem concerns not only women, but also men. The best acne treatments cost a lot of money, do not work immediately, and sometimes do not help at all. That’s when chatterbox comes to mind - a solution that our mothers and grandmothers used with constant success.
There are compelling arguments why acne talkers really work:
- These products are essentially medicines; they contain only pharmaceutical drugs, and often these are very cheap and accessible components.
- Unlike universal remedies, acne talkers come in different types, differ from each other in composition, and are prescribed by specialists for specific indications.
Advanced acne is unlikely to be cured by a dab alone: it requires an integrated approach. You will have to go on a strict diet and correct problems with the health of your internal organs. In other, less severe situations, a homemade medicine can easily cope with the problem. Indications for its use are wide: acne, allergies, teenage acne. Maybe even! As an effective remedy for acne and single pimples, chatterbox has proven itself to be excellent.
How much does a pharmacy acne talker cost?
Even if you give up the idea of making mash with your own hands and buy a ready-made pharmaceutical drug, treating acne at home with this product will cost several times less than expensive, newfangled medicinal cosmetics. You can order the product of any composition in pharmacies with a functioning prescription department. There are more than 80 of them in Moscow.

What is included in the mash
The basis of acne mash in its various recipes is boric or salicylic acid, medicinal or camphor alcohol. These liquids dissolve tiny doses of medications, all of which have proven effective treatments for acne. All substances that make up chatterboxes are divided into three large groups: antibiotics, antiseptics and antibacterial agents.
Antibiotics
An antibiotic alcohol solution is perhaps the most popular home remedy for acne. The active ingredients are erythromycin, chloramphenicol, streptocide, baneocin - tablets or powder. These substances suppress or stop the growth of bacteria, destroy them, and cope with skin infections. The only thing that experts warn about is that bacteria quickly get used to antibiotics and adapt to them. For this reason, mash bottles containing these drugs are best used on special occasions.
Antiseptics
Antiseptics are designed to prevent tissue decomposition, cope with putrefactive processes on the surface and in the inner layers of the skin, and dry wounds. An anti-acne solution of this type may include one or more drugs; it may also contain antibacterial substances. Zinc, sulfur, boric and salicylic acids, zindole - these are the main active components of talkers of this type.
Antibacterial agents
The substances included in such drugs prevent the growth of microorganisms. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), Trichopolum, and Metrogyl are often found in recipes for chatterboxes. Such drugs, as the abstract says, successfully cope with bacteria and suppress pathogenic flora. Most of them, unlike antibiotics, do their job perfectly without causing an addictive effect.
Recipes
Homemade mash is not much different from the pharmacy variety, but it saves time and money. We offer you several popular recipes.
Anti-acne powder with chloramphenicol
Levomycetin
Required ingredients:
- alcoholic salicylic acid solution – 5 ml;
- chloramphenicol tablets – 5 g;
- alcoholic boric acid solution – 50 ml;
- ethyl alcohol 90% - 50 ml.
Crush chloramphenicol tablets into powder and mix with liquid ingredients. Use for oily facial skin prone to acne.
With dimexide
Dimexide
Take:
- dimexide – 20 ml;
- water – 50 ml;
- tincture of chlorophyllipt 1% – 10 ml.
Combine all ingredients in one bottle. Before using the mash, perform a skin test to make sure you are not allergic to the drug.
With trichopolum
Trichopolum
You will need:
- Trichopolum tablets – 4 pieces;
- ethyl alcohol 90% - 250 ml.
Crush the tablets in a mortar and pour into a bottle of alcohol, shake. You can use the mash only after three days; before that, it is infused in a warm place and shaken periodically.
To avoid side effects of the drug, you should not use it too often and for a long time (more than one month). To make your skin clear, without bumps and inflammation, consult a dermatologist and take a comprehensive approach to solving the problem.
How to cook at home
Anti-acne powder is often ordered from the production departments of pharmacies - there is less hassle. But first, get a prescription from a dermatologist. The second way is to cook it yourself. The answer to the question of how to make a pimple for acne is not so complicated. By making the drug yourself, you can save a little: the total cost of drugs purchased separately will be lower than the price of a pharmacy drug. All components of chatterboxes are available and can be found in every second pharmacy. How to prepare such a product with certain components, see below.
With cindol
- Mix 125 g of zinc oxide powder (zindol), 12.5 g of talc and 12.5 g of starch.
- Pour the dry ingredients of the mash into a bottle, pour in 20 g of glycerin, 20 g of medical alcohol with a strength of 70% and 100 g of distilled water.
- Shake the bottle well to mix the contents.
- Zinc oxide is insoluble in water, so be prepared for the powder to form a thin layer on the skin. This will not affect the medicinal properties of the chatterbox in any way.
With trichopolum
- Thoroughly grind 4 tablets of trichopolum (if you can buy the powder, keep in mind that you will need 1000 mg of it), pour it into the bottle.
- Pour 250 ml of ethyl alcohol on top and mix the ingredients.
- This mash should first be infused for 3 days in a dry, dark place. Only after this will it be ready for use.
With boric acid
- This mash contains 4 components. Mix 4 g of erythromycin and zinc oxide, pour 50 ml of boric and salicylic acids each with a strength of 2% into the same container.
- Shake the contents of the bottle carefully and quickly.
- After a few hours, the product will be ready.
- Boric acid is distinguished by its ability to bring internal inflammation to the surface of the skin, so in the first days of using the mash, be prepared for an exacerbation of acne. Be patient: after a short time the situation will improve.
With calendula tincture
- Only three components - chloramphenicol, aspirin and calendula tincture - are part of this mash.
- You will need 3 tablets of aspirin and chloramphenicol. Pour the preparations, ground to a powder, into 40 ml of calendula tincture, shake the contents of the bottle.
- The peculiarity of this talker is that it is recommended to apply it pointwise, only to areas of inflammation. Other, less aggressive agents can be used as a tonic.
With sulfur and streptocide
- For this recipe you will need boric and salicylic acids with a strength of 2%, 50 ml each, and sulfur and streptocide - 7 g each.
- Mix the dry ingredients, then pour them with acid solutions.
- This mash is effective, but it must be used with great caution: applied to clean, acne-free skin, it is quite capable of causing a chemical burn.
With chloramphenicol and salicylic acid
- For 5 g of chloramphenicol crushed into powder, you will need 50 ml of boric and salicylic acids with a strength of 2% and the same amount of medical alcohol.
- All components of the mash must be thoroughly mixed. The product is ready immediately after the complete dissolution of chloramphenicol.
- This powder is a potent antibiotic, so doctors do not recommend using this powder all the time.
How do pimples work?
The product is a mixture that includes several active and auxiliary components. The composition of the acne mash can be varied, and the solution has a complex effect on damaged skin. The action of the product is due to its components, which are presented below:
- Antibiotic . The action is aimed at eliminating pathogenic microflora and preventing the reactivation of microbes.
- Salicylic acid . Stops the inflammatory reaction under the skin, cleanses pores from formed sebaceous plugs, and eliminates keratinized scales on the skin.
- Boric/medicinal alcohol . Serves as a disinfectant and cauterizes acne on the cheeks, forehead and other areas of the face and body.
- Zinc. It has a drying effect on the skin, forms a protective film that resists microbes entering the skin.
- Sulfur . Fights parasites on the skin, including demodicosis.
- Calendula . It has a calming effect on damaged skin, restores it and relieves irritation.
- Essential oils . Various oils are added to the mash, which stabilize the functioning of epidermal cells.
How to use it correctly
The method of using almost all talkers, regardless of their composition, is the same. Experts recommend using the product once a day, in the evening before bed. The duration of the course is no more than 2 months: then the skin will get used to the active ingredients of the mash, and the effect of its use will be reduced to zero. After a few weeks, resume using the chatterbox. The procedure itself is simple and only takes a few minutes:
- Gently wash your face, clearing it of any dust, dirt, makeup residue, and sebum that has accumulated during the day. It is better to prefer ordinary tar soap to expensive gels and foams for washing - it will dry out inflammation without depriving the skin itself of moisture. It is not recommended to use aggressive scrubs and peels during periods of acne exacerbation and the appearance of purulent pimples.
- Shake the bottle with chatter vigorously several times, soak a cotton swab generously in the liquid and apply it to problem areas of the skin. If acne has affected all areas, wipe the entire face. Make sure that the cotton wool is not just wet, but literally soaked in mash. On the most affected areas, do not limit yourself to wiping, but use your fingertips to drive the drug into the skin.
- Acids and alcohol have a degreasing property; the dermis can respond to them by producing excess sebum. To avoid drying out your face, apply a light moisturizer 30–40 minutes after the procedure.
Antibiotic and Salicylic acid powder is a popular remedy for combating acne and other skin problems on the face. However, before using it, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist, since the medicine can lead to the development of complications.
Contraindications to the use of acne talkers
Chatterboxes, like all medicines, have their contraindications, although in this case their number is minimal. These include:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- allergic reactions to any components.
There are some girls who, at first glance, do everything “by the book,” but do not achieve the desired result. This may be due to the fact that after using the mash, the skin may react much more strongly to cosmetics, temperature changes and dust.
It is recommended to use acne talker in accordance with the list of rules outlined below:
- Before the procedure, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the treated areas; for this purpose, special alcohol-free products are used. Tar soap or skin care products containing casein are best suited for such purposes, since they do not cause drying and flaking;
- The mash is applied to areas with acne using a sterile cotton swab or fingers, but excessive rubbing must be avoided, as this increases the risk of drying out the upper layers of the epidermis, which can subsequently provoke relapses;
- The mash is applied to the face once a day; it is better to choose the evening hours for the procedure;
- When carrying out the procedure, you should avoid applying the mash to the area around the eyes and eyelids, as it can lead to unpleasant consequences;
- When treating acne with talkative, sunbathing and the use of decorative cosmetics are contraindicated;
- When completing the course, it is recommended to follow a dairy-vegetable diet; fried foods and foods high in fat are excluded from the diet. Meals should be fractional, meals are taken 5 times a day;
- The mash is stored in glass containers for no more than 1 month; after the specified period has expired, the product must be disposed of. It is best to keep mash in the refrigerator, but not in the freezer;
- The duration of the course is 1 month. It is not recommended to use the mash for a longer period of time, as this can cause drying and flaking of the skin, disruption of the sebaceous glands and the reappearance of acne, and will also cause addiction to the product, which will reduce its effectiveness. After taking a break of 2-3 weeks, you can take a repeat monthly course.
The main contraindication for the use of talkers is individual intolerance to the components included in the composition.
Before using such products to combat acne in childhood, as well as during pregnancy or breastfeeding, prior consultation with a specialist is always required.
Talkers that contain Levomycetin or other antibiotics have an extended list of contraindications.
They are not recommended for use in the following cases:
- Diseases of the hematopoietic system;
- Severe liver or kidney damage;
- Age under 12 years;
- Pregnancy and lactation.
You need to be very responsible when using this method, because we are talking about your face.
- Before using any of these products, the container should be thoroughly shaken.
- Each of the compositions dries out the skin, but our task is still to be able to balance the production of sebum. If the skin becomes dry, the glands will begin to produce secretions to protect it and even more acne may appear. Therefore, the product cannot be left on the face in the form of a mask, even spot-on, or applied to the neck and décolleté.
- It is better to refrain from using acne talker during pregnancy.
- The maximum period of use should not be 2 weeks, but it is better to reduce this period as much as possible.
- Before first use, do an allergy test.
- In order not to injure the skin and treat it correctly, just apply a small amount of acne powder to a cotton pad and wipe the skin with it, like a regular toner.
- Apply the composition to the skin before bed after thorough cleansing.
- Usually after several uses the inflammation goes away. After this, the skin needs therapy in the form of creams and nourishing masks suitable for your skin type.
- After use, you need to moisturize the skin.
- If your skin becomes very dry, stop using the product and moisturize it with special oil-free masks or creams labeled “non-comedogenic.”
- Acids and alcohols can be used no more than 2 times a day if the skin is oily. If your skin is normal, once a day will be enough.
- For dry skin, alcohol-containing ingredients should not be added to the composition. They can be replaced with tonic.
- Give preference to Panthenol if irritation occurs - just apply it in a thin layer with clean hands.
- After use, it is better not to use foundations and creams. If you have a lot of acne, then applying any decorative products is generally undesirable.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with what kind of oil you can smear your face every day and against wrinkles
Before preparing the composition at home, it is better to consult a doctor. Do not hesitate to repeat the visit if you experience the slightest side effects.
