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?

Oh IA, where have you been all my life?
I've shied away from using straight alcohol on my face b/c so many people say it's too drying, BUT I just started using it on my face and the results are immediate and unbelievable!!! I have struggled with acne my entire life and this seems to be the only thing that works miracles. My skin feels smooth and soft afterwards and the toning effect it has makes me look like I've had a mini face-lift, I kid you not! If you have oily/acne-prone skin please give this a try. It may not work for everyone but I am so happy it's working for me! I hope it works for you too.

I had officially given up trying cure the acne on my chest when I decided on a whim to try some isopropyl alcohol that was leftover and just lying around on it and my chest hasn’t looked better in many many months. It’s healing super nice and there’s no scarring left behind. It’s amazing. I take birth control for my facial acne so my face is pretty clear but for those patches that break out and just won’t heal I think I might try the alcohol on them too! 9/10 and the best acne medicine I’ve tried (including way too many things prescribed by dermatologists) other than my birth control which balances out my hormones, but since my chest acne wasn’t hormonal the alcohol has been the best thing I’ve ever tried in my life and I’m 21 and have had acne since I was about 14.

My miracle!
I am well aware of the concerns regarding alcohol and the skin - especially with regular use. However, I don't think one can truly appreciate the effects of isopropyl alcohol on the skin unless you've had long term moderate to severe acne. It is literally the one and only thing that has cured my acne and kept it away for over five years. I have tried everything from Clearasil to Proactive to Egg White Masks to $300 creams and antibiotics. Nothing worked except for IA. I have really oily skin so it doesn't dry it out to the point of being uncomfortable - however if you have already dry skin I wouldn't recommend it. I apply it to my skin with a cotton ball after I wash my face in the morning and before I go to bed at night. After having acne for over a decade, my skin is now 100% clear and smooth. As long as I use it regularly I never get breakouts. If you are at the end of your rope and have tried everything else I suggest you give this a shot - it might just work. What have you got to lose? It is one of the cheapest products available.

Would you be willing to talk about what finally helped to clear your acne? I am struggling and am beyond frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cons:
None.
The bottom line is, for me, it was best to wash {Clearasil Face Wash}, tone {with alcohol} on a cotton ball, and moisturize. After using it as a toner, my face doesn't feel dry either. It really has a toning effect. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like it.

Pros:
-Dries the pimple
-Disinfect the area
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.

Pros:
Works amazing and fast...instanly kills bateria that causing acne
Cons:
A little drying
This has completely cleared my skin, I have tried everything and this has done it. I use this as a toner twice a day morning and night, just use a small cottonball and rub a thin layer over face. It also prevents razor bumps from shaving. It sounds crazy but it seriously works. I'm 30 and have had acne problems most of my life, now people think I have a model face:)

Do you still use it? I know this post is from a while back. Has it continued to be effective and not harmful?
Pros:
This is a very good toner. I don't know what it does to achieve this but I believe it was a main contributor to clearing my very light adult acne.
