The speed of applying the solution is regulated by the force of pressing the applicator on the skin. The approximate single dose is 0.5 ml. After drying, the solution becomes invisible.

Erythromycin acts bacteriostatically on the microorganisms that cause acne: Propionibacterium acne and Streptococcus epidermidis. Zinc reduces the production of sebaceous glands, has an astringent effect.

The complex connection of the components of the drug ensures good penetration of active substances into the skin. Zinc mainly binds to the follicular epithelium and is not resorbed into the systemic circulation. A small part of erythromycin undergoes systemic distribution and is subsequently excreted from the body.
