Pros:

Works fast
Doesn't leave a film on face
easy on the wallet!
Exfoliates dead skin off/leftover make-up too

Cons:

dries out face a little

Worth a try. Been using a week and am impressed with the results. I don't see it preventing all cystic acne, but it leaves skin feeling very clean, soft, and no film to attract bacteria to stick to face...pretty excited about this...I've tried everything under the sun (including the sun) and this is so simple. Give it a try!

Works
Use a Cotten swab or cotton ball to apply stings a little at first but it's worth it . I have had so much acne and have been prescribed with acne treatments and everything but the rubbing Alcohol works the best

Helps dry up my pimples fast!
I only get acne once in a while, since I'm going through puberty. And when I do, I just apply a little bit of this on the pimple and it dries it right up! I use it as a spot treatment. It makes it go away the day I apply or in the next 2 days at the latest. It's not a miracle product, but it definitely works. I have extremely mild acne, though, so I have not developed cysts and such that sever acne sufferers have, so I cannot say whether it works on those. I have hyperpigmentation issues though, so recently I've purchased Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Dark Spot Corrector, and it's really making them start to fade! My skin is getting brighter and more glowy. It also makes any new hyperpigmentation that's there once the pimple goes away because of the rubbing alcohol very light, so it fades much faster! I'm very satisfied with what I'm getting with both of these products together. I wish I had tried rubbing alcohol before as it would have saved me from very embarrassing pimple situations!

Pros:

Can prevent cysts from growing faster

Cons:

Stings
Does not prevent acne
Skin flakes up around pimple

I DO NOT use this as an all over toner but as a spot treatment. I apply immediately and it puts a halt to active acne. Cysts sometimes stop growing but this has not always been the case. I also apply after popping any pimples to clear it of bacteria. Sometimes it's better just to let the cyst grow and pop and heal to be done with it but if you've got an important day ahead of you and can't deal with that red, scarred crater that comes with popping on your face then this is what I would recommend you use.
