No but skunk feces is what works for me. I'm SERIOUS I have no idea why! I was walking along staring at my pimple in a mirror and I tripped and landed in this gross stuff by a dead skunk D:

Hand Sanitizer is essentially alcohol and alcohol will dry up pimples, but not cure them necessarily. So the alcohol in the hand sanitizer is just drying them up and making them go away faster. You should probably not use it on your face. Try some Clearasil or Proactive to prevent some pimples from occurring.Health Question & Answer

no it doesn't, hand sanitizer has alcohol in it and that dries the skin out causing it to flake and irritate the "pimple's area". this can then cause scarring on the skin that takes a very long time to heal or at the very least become less noticeable.Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't say that it cures pimples, but it does probably dry them up, because of the alcohol base of the hand sanitzer. Use cetaphil face wash, it is realativly inexpensive and works really well.Health Question & Answer

no, hand sanitizer is a surface cleanser...getting rid of germs and bacteria...it might help clear up your skin yes..but it is not a signified deep skin cleanser...but it ought to clean your face/ the area applied ^^Health Question & Answer

It might dry them up but it is mostly alcohol so it's not so good for your skin. Try cream make for zits make with salicylic acid and wash your face with face wash made for break-out prone skin. I use Aveeno. It works well. Health Question & Answer

It will dry it out but it doesn't cure it. A cure means that it doesn't come back. Using hand sanitizer on your face for long periods of time would ry your face out and make it look weird.Health Question & Answer

the alcohol will help to dry them out but it will also dry out the rest of your face. Where you face is concerned it is really better to use face products.Health Question & Answer

Hand sanitiser will help keep your skin clean and may have antiseptic properties but will be nowhere near as good as products that are designed to get rid of pimples.Health Question & Answer

yes, it does. By the way did you or a friend hear that from yahoo answers that hand sanitizer cures pimples.?

If so e-mail me at serenaruzbacki@yahoo.com and let me know.Health Question & Answer

Hand sanitizer is basically just rubbing alcohol with some moisturizer and scent added. Health Question & Answer

It will dry it out because of the alcohol inside of the sanitizer. So yeah it will work but it will dry your skin outHealth Question & Answer

I'd be surprised if they do cure them, but I suppose they might since they kill bacteria.Health Question & Answer

Um, I'm sure it can help kill acne bacterias...but there may be other effects that you don't know about in regards to acne...so no, I wouldn't say it cures them.Health Question & Answer

Haha! No'sir. That'd be pretty funny to see someone try though, pouring it all over they're face....burning they're eyes and whatnot....you should' uh...try it. :DHealth Question & Answer

I wouldn't use that. It will dry your skin out very badly. But a home remedy that i have used for years that sounds crazy but works AMAZING is toothpaste.
