I used to use it all the time lol. Like I got the alcohol swabs and would wipe my whole face. Just dried my skin out and I got a good lotion. Whenever I popped a pimple I always used it. It helps disinfects it. And dried it out pretty fast

Witch hazel is a lot better... When doing extractions of pimples on clients my cotton swabs always have it in them. It's a lot less drying but is an antiseptic at the same time

NO! DO NOT DO IT! It is SO BAD for you. It will strip away the natural oils from your skin which will in return create more oil and give you acne. Do not do it. If you have normal skin, i guess your fine because normal skin is rather tough. But if you have senstive, acne prone or Combo STAY AWAY. And another thing...Home remedies are not good for you...I read from a dermatologist that LEMON JUICE IS SO BAD FOR YOUR SKIN! Use Green Tea Oil,Which Hazel or some type of Aloe vera gel, that helps sooth the skin and sooth irritation. Its best to go to a Dermatoglist if you can not get it cleared up yourself though.

It suppose to dry the pore out but if you have oily skin don't use it.

Use a toner opposed to rubbing alcohol. It does the same trick, but it's actually made for skin care.
