Cons:
None that I can think of
I didn't use it everyday like all the other reviewers. I always used it everytime I popped a pimple after getting out of the shower. Once I popped the pimple, I swab a little alcohol on the infected area and place neosporin over. I let it sit for 30 mins to an hour and wash it out and applied benzoyl peroxide over it. After a few days, the pimple subsided and I never got another pimple on that area again.

Alcohol CAUSING Acne
My daughter suffered from acne for quite some time before we realized it was the alcohol in her face products CAUSING the acne. We eliminated the alcohol and within less than a week her face was clear. We did have to find new face wash, lotion, spot treatment, makeup and laundry detergent. We also found that Betadine is a wonderful alternative to alcohol, and it doesn't dry the skin.

Pros:
dries out pimple
Takes a while for it to dry out with this method
Cons:
you have to reapply it
Smells bad
This is an ok method, but I prefer toothpaste. Toothpaste is faster than this. (I don't use this method everyday)

Amazing
I have struggled with acne and oily skin for as long as I can remember. i tried everything and nothing was making it better until finally I found out about rubbing alcohol. It cleared up about 90% of my acne in about a week. I only use it at night before I go to bed and moisturize immediately after. In the morning I use l'bri face wash and I only get a few breakouts here and there. Overall such a great find!

Do you still use it? Has it continued to be effective and not harmful?

Pros:
None
Cons:
-Dries your skin
-Does nothing for your blemishes
Alcohol is too harsh of a substance to be applied to the fragile skin of your face. Yes, it dries up the skin, but then there is a rebound effect and more oil is produced. You may see improvement initially, but it won't last long. I thought it would work well, but I made my problem much worse.
Pros:
-Dries the pimple
-Disinfect the area
