Cons:
- Dryness
- The smell
- If you have open wounds, the sting
Typically, I use rubbing alcohol every day if I have the time and if I remember. Most homes have this since it is a first-aid product so availability and price are not so bad. *Keeping in mind*: 1.) Percent of alcohol in the rubbing alcohol. The one I have is 91% or something. 2.) Inhaling or constant exposure to rubbing alcohol is not too good for you! If you like, walk around or fan off face while applying or keep away from the nose and mouth area. I usually use cotton balls to apply since a rubbing alcohol wash would be a little awkward. So consider the price of cotton balls and the type. I would suggest a nice puffy and thick cotton ball and apply enough to demi-wet the ball since you want to be able to hold onto the cotton ball without having a hand covered in it and also have a "scrub" effect, allowing more dirt to be picked up.

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)
Pros:
- Makes you feel clean
- Dries up scabs from popped pimples
- Dries oil
- Cleans off dirt
- Good for "after work" quick cleansers. (after school, after a day at work)
