earlier people on here were telling me that if you mix baking soda and water together then put it on your face is will dry up your pimples. Does this really work?
and someone also said putting alcohol on them will make them go away.

I know some people that swear by it. It seems to work but maybe not for everyone.
You could put alcohol on it but it dries out your skin like hell. It also burns and makes your face red [acne as well]
i wouldn't try it. It makes your skin worse. [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

It shouldn't be harmfull for delicate skin. I've never used rubbing alcohol, but that should work. Yes, both of them will dry out your skin, but that's the point; that's what gets rid of the zits. Most people have hydrogen peroxide lying around, and that will work better than alcohol, without drying your skin. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
