Zenerit - a remedy for acne: my opinion, application, reviews

Pimples that appear on the skin of the face and body can have a different nature. And, accordingly, you can get rid of them only by establishing exactly what the reason for their appearance is. If this is a hormonal imbalance in the body, it is necessary to initially normalize the hormonal balance. Or if you abuse unhealthy food, problems may arise in the internal organs, which causes a rash - then you need to develop a balanced diet.

But if the cause of acne is bacteria, then the drug Zinerit will have a very effective effect, which, according to reviews from many users, is an excellent way to get rid of rashes on the face and body.

Release form and effectiveness

Zinerit is produced in the form of 2 bottles containing a solution and a powder. There are no other forms of release of the drug, such as tablets or cream.

The main question of interest to the buyer is related to the effectiveness of the drug. The result of treatment depends on the individual, so you need to consult a doctor to find the cause of the rash and prescribe the appropriate dosage.

Using Zinerit - before and after treatment

The results of testing the drug on volunteers showed that in half of them the rashes disappeared after just a week of using the product.

During treatment, the following improvements are noted:

• reducing the amount of rash;
• elimination of inflammation;
• elimination of irregularities that arose during the development of acne.

How to prepare the solution

Zinerite is produced in a complex set of 2 substances - powder and solvent, which must be additionally mixed before the actual treatment process. In addition, an applicator is included for ease of use of the resulting composition.

Before using Zinerit, you will need to prepare an antibacterial solution based on the instructions:

1. Take bottles with lotion ingredients. Remove the caps from the bottles and carefully pour the solvent into the container with the powdery substance.
2. Shake the contents of the bottle for 1 minute.
3. Remove the applicator placed in a sealed package and push it deep into the container with the resulting lotion.
4. Screw the lid tightly, after which the product is ready for use.

When making lotion, it is allowed to use not the entire volume of available components in the form of powder and solvent. In this case, some of the ingredients will need to be placed in other storage containers or a separate container for the lotion should be selected.

IMPORTANT! The prepared substance can be stored for no more than 5 months. But the shelf life of the powder and solution is 3 years.

Contraindications and side effects

It is not recommended to use the product if you are hypersensitive. Otherwise, side reactions occur:

• skin redness;
• itching;
• dry skin;
• irritation;
• burning.

If the product is used incorrectly or there is an individual intolerance, redness, itching and burning may occur.

Note! Erythromycin, which is part of Zinerit, can be addictive.

If these reactions occur, stop treatment and seek medical help.

Action of Zenerit

Zinerit is a medicinal drug, the main component of which is erythromycin-zinc mixture. Thanks to the universal composition of the drug, it is possible to use it to treat acne, regardless of the severity of the disease.

Zinerit was developed on the basis of a powerful complex, which provides it with the highest possible effect. The active components of the drug penetrate deep into the skin and significantly reduce the production of sebum, which eliminates the possibility of a rash.

Thanks to the combination of zinc and erythromycin in the composition of the drug, it significantly speeds up the process of treating acne.

Impact effect

During the period of use of the medicine, the inflammatory process is eliminated, as well as the fight against pathogenic bacteria. With the help of the product, the amount of sebum production is significantly reduced, which prevents the possibility of new acne.

The production of medicine is carried out on the basis of:

• Zinc acetate, which is characterized by natural origin.

  
  This component has an astringent effect and also significantly reduces the amount of sebum production. This component is characterized by an anti-inflammatory effect.

• Erythromycin. It is a fairly strong antibiotic, but at the same time it is characterized by a minimal level of toxicity, which makes it possible to use the drug for various categories of patients. Thanks to this component, bacterial growth is suppressed.
• Ethanol. It is a monohydric alcohol and is characterized by the presence of an antibacterial effect.
• Di-isopropyl sebacate. This component is a solvent and a humectant.

Due to the presence of an antibiotic in the drug, it has a strong bacteriostatic effect.

Thanks to this component, it not only suppresses the growth of bacteria, but also supports the functioning of the immune system. Despite the safe composition and high effect of the drug, its use is allowed to patients only after consultation with a doctor.

Indications and contraindications

The use of the drug should be carried out if there are appropriate indications. The use of the drug is recommended for patients with acne. The medication should be prescribed only by a doctor in accordance with the patient’s skin type.

This is explained by the fact that the drug is characterized by the presence of a drying effect. Doctors allow the use of medicine for the treatment of acne only if there are no peelings on the epithelial surfaces.

During the period of drug administration, the natural immunity of the skin, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, are assessed. Despite the excellent effectiveness of the medication, it has certain contraindications.

Doctors' opinion about Zeneritis, watch in this video:

The drug is not recommended for use in patients with allergic reactions. If a person has thin and sensitive skin, then the use of the medicine should be carried out with caution and under the strict supervision of a doctor.

During the period of Zinerit's prescription, it is imperative to take into account indications and contraindications, which will ensure the safety of treatment.

Side effects of the drug

If the drug is used incorrectly, patients may experience the development of undesirable effects. The active components of the drug are slightly absorbed into the skin, which reduces the possibility of unwanted effects during use of the drug.

Some patients reported a burning sensation after applying the medicine.

Treatment with the drug may be accompanied by irritation. Some patients experienced overdrying of the skin at the sites where the medication was applied. In difficult cases, swelling may occur after using the medicine.

Since the drug has certain side effects, it is recommended that the patient consult a dermatologist before using it.

Treatment rules

Compliance with the rules of therapy will increase the effectiveness of the drug and relieve unpleasant consequences. The recommendations are as follows:

• Avoid getting the product on the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth and nose, otherwise a burn will occur;
• Do not use cosmetics or hygiene products after applying the drug;
• It is not recommended to use the medicine together with antibiotics - the bacteria will be less sensitive to the effects.

Comparison with other means (my opinion):

Many people often ask me questions: “Which is better, Zinerit or Baziron?” Or which is better: “Zinerit or Skinoren?” . Or a talker. ***For the third time I’m talking about a dermatologist =)***. But if you want to know my opinion, then I consider all the products that I listed above to be the best external products that I have used. But if you want to know who I give what place in terms of efficiency, then:

1 Chatterbox

2 Zenerite

3 Skinoren

4 Baziron

You can see my reviews of these products by clicking on them.

Again, just my opinion. And this opinion is changing, a couple of months ago I would have put Zenerit at 3-4, and Skinoren at 1. But, since now I smear my skin with Zenerit along with Chlorgesidine in the evenings and they work well, this is my opinion.

Tips for using facial cleanser

For therapy with Zinerit you need:

1. Cleanse the skin of contamination - apply the drug only to clean areas.
2. Mix 2 bottles - add the solution to the powder.
3. Stir the mixture until smooth.
4. Apply colorless lotion to problem areas of the skin using the special applicator that comes with the medicine.

The medicine is applied using an applicator

There is no need to wash off Zinerit after application - after a few minutes the solution becomes invisible.

The maximum duration of treatment is 12 weeks. If there is no positive result after 14–20 days, you should consult a doctor to change the treatment conditions or select another remedy.

Analogues of the drug

If there are contraindications to the use of a medicine, patients are often recommended to use analogues. There are no drugs that contain both zinc and an antibiotic in the modern pharmacy chain.

But, Zinerit can be replaced with medications that are developed on the basis of an antibiotic:

• Baziron;
• Klenzitom-S;
• Differin.

Before using Zinerit analogues, the patient should consult a doctor. Independent use of zinc ointment is possible only with a targeted application.

Making Zenerite at home

Zenerite is characterized by a fairly high cost. This is why medicine cannot be purchased by all patients, without exception. In this case, it is possible to prepare the drug at home. A person is advised to strictly observe the proportions.

You can prepare the medicine using several recipes:

• The drug can be made using the antibiotic erythromycin, 40 percent alcohol, and boron-zinc drops.
  One tablet of erythromycin must be dissolved in 100 grams of alcohol. A bottle of boron-zinc drops is added to the resulting composition. After thoroughly mixing the medication, it can be used to treat acne 2 times a day. The course of treatment with medication should be at least two weeks. The drug should be stored in the refrigerator.
• A second version of the medicine is being prepared based on Levomycetin tablets and vodka. Before preparing the drug, you must mix vodka and water in equal quantities. 10 pre-crushed Levomycetin tablets are added to 100 milliliters of the resulting solution. After their dissolution, the medicine can be used to treat acne once every three days. Therapy should last at least three weeks.

Preparing Zenerite at home is a fairly simple procedure that can be carried out by anyone.

Consumer Reviews

I have been using Zenerit for a long time. After the first course, my face cleared up completely, I bought a second one “just in case,” but I used it two or three times when a pimple popped up before my period, and that’s it. Nothing was sprinkled again.

More than a year ago I tried Zenerit. At that time my whole face was all over the place; I was already depressed because my classmates were bullying me. Then my brother bought me Zenerit, and everything disappeared. Since then, every time acne appears, I buy it and also Baziron.

I used Zenerite for three days in a row, my skin began to look like wrinkled tissue paper, tightened, and I threw away the entire bottle.

Zinerit helped me - I had terrible skin with purulent acne and wounds remained. During critical days, sometimes small pimples appear, I smear them, and in the morning they are already dry and disappear. The skin on my forehead just dried out and small wrinkles appeared.

Reviews of the use of the drug Zinerit for acne

• For convenience, I divided the liquid and powder in half and dissolved only half. When the first portion ended, I took a break for 2 weeks, then continued. "Zinerit" helped me get rid of closed comedones and cure acne. The smell did not seem pleasant to me, rather it was alcoholic. I did not experience any itching or peeling while using the solution.
• Got rid of most of my acne in just a week!
• I cured teenage acne with it, and at 28 I started using it again for acne. At the age of 13, I paid 300 rubles for a set, and when I found out how much Zinerit for acne costs in the pharmacy now, I was surprised - more than 600 rubles.
• It didn’t help with subcutaneous acne, but it copes with small ones with a bang.
• The first two weeks there were no positive changes, I already doubted whether Zinerit helped with acne. Then the inflammation decreased, the acne dried out, and the complexion evened out. I used it for 5 weeks and stopped using it to avoid drying out my skin.

Instructions on how to use at home

The drug can be purchased at the pharmacy in cardboard packaging. It contains two bottles and an applicator. One bottle contains the medicine in the form of a mixture of powder form consisting of erythromycin and zinc. The second contains a solvent consisting of diisopropyl sebactate and alcohol. Thanks to this separation of substances, the shelf life of the drug increases. Before using it, you need to properly mix the components in one of the vials, then carefully install the dispenser - applicator. All necessary actions are illustrated in detail in the instructions for the drug.

When purchased, the product has a shelf life of 3 years if stored at a temperature of 15 to 25 degrees. After diluting the lotion, it can only be used for five weeks from the moment the ingredients are mixed.

The medicine can be applied pointwise; if there are few pimples and they are clearly expressed, then with this method Zinerit will act locally and will not cause dry skin around the affected area. In the second case, the product is applied to the entire face. Its use is reasonable for severe acne, which usually occurs in adolescence. But if the skin itself is prone to dryness, then it is better to take the time and treat each pimple separately.
