What are the effects of rubbing alcohol to treat acne? I started using it a few days ago and I think I may be seeing improvement.

Worthless. You are just evaporating the oil on your skin's surface. Acne is a problem with follicles (ie pores) becoming clogged with sebum (oil) and then attacked by your immune system. Can be treated by shrinking oil glands (very powerful/dangerous synthetic Vit A used), increasing sebum metabolism (questionable usage of Vit B5), using antibiotics (again, for immune system suppression, worthless in most cases), or simply forcing an acidic/basic substance into the pore and thus dissolving the sebum (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid et cet).

salicylic acid is basically what aspirin is, so you can crush it up and mix with honey and use that as an acne treatment
