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.
What should be taken into account when treating age spots with mash?
To use mashed potatoes prepared independently, you should always take into account the characteristics and type of skin. This will help prevent the occurrence of an allergic reaction to the plant component. The skin may react acutely to the vinegar contained in bleaching products. Before starting treatment, you should consult a dermatologist. If prescriptions indicate spot application of the product, it is recommended to use the medicine only spot-on. If there is any suspicion of an allergic reaction, the use of the talker should be discontinued. To limit peeling, dryness and irritation of the skin, you need to wipe your face once (maximum two) times a day.

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.

The condition of the skin often worsens in girls who sleep less than 8 hours a day. Lack of sleep is stressful for the body, which is why acne soon appears.
- Diseases of different nature . Often the problem is associated with dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. Disturbances in the digestive tract provoke negative changes in the microflora, affecting the condition of the skin.

Chatterbox - what is it?
The mash contains different components, which are individually selected by a dermatologist, so a visit to him is inevitable and even useful. You will be able to understand the cause of unpleasant manifestations on the skin of the face and will know the method of dealing with them. With a dermatologist's prescription, you can safely go to a pharmacy, where there is a laboratory for the preparation of various pharmaceuticals or ready-made suspensions are sold (Propeller, Zinerit). The second option is also possible: a face wash can be prepared at home, following the doctor’s clear instructions.
Usually the mash contains inexpensive and well-known components that are easy to find in a pharmacy or even at home. The mash comes in water, oil and alcohol. At rest, all components of the suspension separate, the liquid layer rises up, and the powder part of the drug settles on the opposite side.
The proportions of different compositions are usually similar: 70% of the mash is the base and 30% is the powder, the medicine. The composition of the mash may include: petroleum jelly, glycerin, vegetable oils, zinc, alcohol, dimexide, chloramphenicol, aspirin, sulfur, herbal tinctures and other pharmaceutical medications.
Important! The mash is effective only for isolated inflammations and minor rashes on the skin.
The fight against acne should be comprehensive: in addition to regular use of the mash, you need to follow a special diet for an average of two months. It is forbidden to eat salty, fatty, smoked, sweet and spicy foods. The entire daily amount of food should be divided into five parts. Thanks to such fractional nutrition, metabolic processes in the human body are restored.
Useful properties of chatterbox:
- cleanses the skin;
- effectively fights acne and prevents the appearance of new ones;
- has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects;
- improves complexion;
- helps strengthen vascular walls.
Indications for use
First you need to understand those cases when you need to use a talker:

- narrowing of pores;
- decreased activity of the sebaceous glands.
Terms of use
It is also important to know how to use the mash correctly so that its use brings only benefits:

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.
What are the benefits of mash for the skin?
Depending on the basis of the composition, suspensions are aqueous, oily and aqueous-alcoholic. The name of the talker explains the principle of use.

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.
Basic ways to fight acne at home
When the causes of acne have been eliminated (or in the process of elimination), you can begin to eliminate cosmetic manifestations. Problem skin requires increased attention.
- It is imperative to cleanse the epidermis twice a day, washing with suitable products. You also need to use the right care cream. Cosmetics should be chosen carefully. It is better not to use foundation at this time, which will clog the pores.
- Stress and overwork should be avoided.
- If possible, you should exclude foods that affect your skin condition from your diet.
There are many remedies for acne - ointments, gels, creams. Homemade acne masks work great. You may need to experiment before choosing the best acne treatment for your skin.
The so-called acne talkers, the composition of which is varied, have proven themselves very well, but it is better to use recipes recommended directly by a dermatologist.
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 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.
