Acne

Is using rubbing alcohol on your acne bad for your skin?

Re: Acne

i struggled with acne and hyperpigmentation for a while. look for everyday cleansers, serums, etc. with glyolic acid and/or niacinamide. I love a lot of kbeauty brands lately, also look for salicylic acid benzoyl peroxide and azealic acid but you dont want to use them everyday as it can dry out skin. I use them every other day and then use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer everyday. some brands for acne i love are skin 1004, suhlwasoo, mediheal, paula's choice, and murad and yes don't ever put rubbing alcohol on acne, that can create overdrying and increase inflammation. In many cases it can also cause a skin burn and irreparable skin damage.

Where did you read such information? I don't recommend trying this. In general, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist, to be honest. My friend at one time started having acne and it's good that he consulted doctors in time. As it turned out he had diabetes and because of that he started having diabetes. The doctor immediately recommended him Buy Ozempic Online and now he feels better. His acne is also almost gone. I'm not scaring you, I just want you to understand that it is really worth consulting a dermatologist who will determine what is causing your problem.

@Evaaaaa123 don't do that. You'll probably make it worse. Alcohol dries out your skin, which can make it more oily and clog your pores further. Try a toner with salicylic acid instead Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin starting 1-2 times a week. Apply pimple patches or spot treatments instead of trying to "clean" your skin with alcohol.

Is the toner supposed to sting a little bit after using it?
