Rivanol solution 1%. Instructions for use "Rivanol"

"Ethacridine" ("Rivanol") is an antiseptic. It is used to combat microorganisms that cause various diseases. The solution is used to treat wounds, with inflammation of the mucous membranes, boils, psoriasis.

Forms of drug release:

Paste.
Solution.
Powder.
Ointment.

The solution for use is prepared immediately before use.

To remove unwanted hair

The solution of the drug is used for It is inexpensive, painless, effective. A little lower is the instruction for the drug "Rivanol". The analogs described below, as you can see, are much more difficult to handle:

For 10 grams of Rivanol powder, 1 liter of water is required - a 1% solution will be obtained.
Soak a cotton swab in the solution and wipe the areas with unwanted hair. It is not worth keeping the product in one area for a long time, it is enough to hold it once.
The procedure is repeated daily for 7 days (prolongation of the course is possible, but not recommended to avoid drying out of the skin, in any case it should be determined individually).

During treatment with the drug, unwanted hair becomes thinner and lighter, then falls off.

Before use, an allergy test is required: a drop of the prepared solution is applied to the skin from the inside of the elbow bend and observed for 2 hours (it is highly desirable to wash off the drug after this time and continue monitoring for another 48 hours).

How the drug works

The active substances of "Rivanol" (lactate 2-ethoxy-6,9-diaminoacridine) gradually destroy the hair itself and the follicle, thereby eliminating not only existing hair, but also future ones. At best, unwanted hair will not bother you for a month, then hairs may grow back, but they will be much lighter, thinner and more inconspicuous than the previous ones.

The tool is used, as a rule, for light (vellus) hair, for example, on the face. It is worth noting that the drug does not help everyone, however, it is impossible to say in advance who will be among the lucky ones, so it’s worth trying.

If after two weeks of use there is no result, then the drug is not suitable, and its use should be discontinued.

Many are interested in whether the effective and convenient "Rivanol" has analogues?

We note right away that there are no complete analogues, however, there are many means whose action is a bit similar (lightening hair and affecting the hair follicle). Let's take a look at them below.

Immediately, we note what is important to know in order to effectively use the analogues of "Rivanol", the description of which is given below.

To influence the follicle, it is important to open the path to it, that is, the hair must be removed from the root. In addition, on the surface of the skin we see, as a rule, only 25% of all available hair. The rest are in a dormant state, so for a really effective result (smooth skin for months), the procedure must be repeated periodically, and not for one week. It is also desirable to steam the area for applying the product, this allows you to open the pores, however, it should be borne in mind that this makes the skin more sensitive and increases the risk of burns.

Almost all the tools described below are very strong and at the same time unpredictable, therefore they are capable of:

remove unwanted hair;
have no effect;
spoil the skin, which will require long-term treatment after this.

Above, you already had the opportunity to see how simple the instruction is for Rivanol. Analogues, reviews of which are quite numerous and allow us to evaluate the effectiveness and laboriousness of each tool, are much more difficult to handle and are rarely able to give such a quick effect.

Hydrogen peroxide

Does "Rivanol" have analogues among pharmaceutical products? Hydrogen peroxide is the only drug with a similar effect. This tool is much weaker, although with good tolerance and perseverance, it can help get rid of hair. Although it is not recommended to use it on sensitive skin, such as on the face. Typically, peroxide is used to remove hair from the back of the neck, from the arms and legs. How is it applied? The desired area of \u200b\u200bthe skin is wiped daily for 2-3 weeks. they are selected individually, although in any case a 3% pharmacy solution will not work, hair bleaching and hair destruction is possible only with a 5-10% solution. Also, do not use too strong a solution: 30% peroxide will definitely cause changes on the skin that are unlikely to please anyone. The peroxide-burned dermis has a characteristic white coating.

Turmeric

This spice can make the skin smooth forever, at least that's the reputation it has in its homeland - in India. At a certain concentration of the substance, turmeric affects the hair itself and, most importantly, the follicles, slowing down hair growth. With frequent use, the hair stops growing, and the skin becomes very smooth and even. This analogue of "Rivanol" for hair removal also acts individually. Among the reviews, there are many stories when turmeric-based masks did not have any effect. Side effect - yellowing of the skin, irritation, redness. Turmeric is often used for permanent hair removal in the bikini area.

There are many recipes with turmeric. The most popular are a mixture of turmeric with cream, milk, flour.

With cream. Any suitable moisturizing (not greasy!) cream is mixed in equal proportions with turmeric, applied to the desired area. The proportion can be varied, it all depends on tolerance. The mixture is applied to the skin, aged for 10 minutes (it can be a little longer, this is also individual), washed off with warm water or sour milk to avoid staining.
Turmeric is mixed with wheat flour and milk, the proportions are also individual. It is optimal to mix the bulk ingredients, and then add milk, achieving a consistency convenient for application. Flour is needed only to soften the effect of the spice.

Datura

Datura contains alkaloids that can depress the hair follicle. This is a very poisonous plant, so you should be extremely careful with it, much more careful than when using the Rivanol drug. The analogues described here are also much safer than Datura. The only reason it deserves attention is that with its help you can achieve a complete cessation of hair growth. However, this process cannot be called fast. It will take about a year before the result, otherwise there is a risk of harming the body as a whole. To remove hair use:

Alcohol tincture - suitable for oily skin.
Oil tincture - preferred for dry skin.

Use the mixture on prepared skin (hair removed from the root) strictly no more than once a day, but regularly - daily or every other day.

Iodine

A very risky and dubious drug (iodine tends to be absorbed through the skin and accumulate in the body, exposing the latter to intoxication), suitable only for those who have exceptionally healthy skin, who are not afraid of turning their skin yellow, have already despaired of achieving results with milder means, I tried the Rivanol solution, analogues of plant origin - and everything turned out to be in vain.

Recipes with iodine are also very diverse, the most popular is with castor oil and ammonia. For him you need:

Iodine - 1.5 ml.
Ammonia - 2 ml.
Castor oil - 5 ml.
Medical alcohol - 35 ml.

Everything is mixed and kept for a couple of hours until the mixture loses its characteristic yellow-brown color. Moisten a cotton swab with the prepared solution, wipe areas with unwanted hair 2 times a day, keeping for 15 minutes. The procedures are performed within 2-3 weeks until the hair falls out completely (they begin to fall out after one week of use).

walnut juice

Green walnut contains enough iodine, so it can be used to get rid of hair. The unripe fruit is cut in half, the prepared area is rubbed with half, left overnight. One week of such procedures is enough for hair not to appear. You can also grind the shell of young walnuts, mix with water and rub the skin with unwanted hair 3-4 times a day, repeat until the result (hair loss) is achieved.

Stinging nettle seeds

Does "Rivanol" have analogues of mild action? safe enough. They contain which and helps to act on unwanted hair and follicles. To remove unwanted vegetation, you can use a decoction, oil tincture or alcohol tincture (although the latter is undesirable). Oil tincture is prepared in the following way:

Grind 40 grams of nettle, but not to powder, but simply knead.
Mix the crushed mixture with 100 grams of castor oil (you can take another soft oil, for example, from grape seeds).
Keep the mixture in a dark and cool place (but not in the refrigerator) for 2 months.
Straining - optional.

The tincture is applied as follows: the necessary place is lubricated, the oil is left on the skin, kept for 1 hour, wiped with a cloth or napkin. Repeat daily. The first result will be visible in a month - thinner, weaker hairs that are easy to remove with tweezers or hands.
