yeah thats fine but it will dry your face out really badly too so make sure you use lotion on your face everyonce in a while!

that kind of alcohol is not good - glycolic acid and benz peroxide are for acne and salycidic acid that is in astrigents - get the neutrogena one for oil control - that works well and just a warm to hot washcloth several times a day on the affected area - see a dermatologist to get a face wash with 10% glycolic acid cause you can only get the stronger stuff at the dr. anyways - differin is out now and is supposed to be good.
sterilize ur phone with that alcohol though or clean ur ears

Too much alcohol will eventually dry your face out. It is ok to use occasionally. Skin works on supply and demand. If your skin is too oily, then use a moisturizer. If its too dry, than use a little bit of astringent.

Oh yea totally safe! Just make sure and avoid getting it in your eyes! And don't forget to apply about a fingernail size amount of lotion so your skin doesn't dry out!

NO! My dermatologist told me that using alcohol on your face will make your skin as rough as an elephants hide eventually.

if it doesnt dry your skin too much then go ahead, but it wont stop it from comming back really.
