- Tablets and even powder of streptocide must be rewetted to get very powdery, like flour.
- Powder is poured with aloe juice and thoroughly mixed. The resulting mask should consist of a thick creamy sour cream.
- The drug is applied pointwise, exclusively to the affected area, for at least 15 minutes, although many sources recommend applying the ointment before bedtime and leaving it until the morning.

For oily skin, it is recommended:
- Mix the streptocid powder with baby powder in a 1: 1 ratio.
- Add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide.
- The resulting mask is applied to the face with a thin layer for 10 minutes.
