I like it's used with needles!

Too harsh for my cuts, ouch!...and never on my face, of course.
If I had blemishes ...I could see i might dab a Q-tip of it, dunno...but prob would use
Witch Hazel.

If people like to rub it on muscles...try the green one! And when you're done place a dish towel around the area. You'll see what I mean.
A couple yrs ago I did some buy some green (wintergreen) R.A. I go in spurts and yes it's good for many things like you say.

Agreed. If it removes permanent marker from hard surfaces, it's pretty strong. I use it to clean the backs of my earrings before I put them on.

I agree...try a menthol rub of some kind instead. Very cool and refreshing.

My thigh is so numb now 7 years from hip replacement. I'll be using it more and more now that I've re-discovered it tonight:

Not sure I'd trust that strange website...I mean, "How your belly button reveals secrets about you! doesnt scream credibility.

Dead serious. Where do you find these click bait sites? It's like one of those "Click here to find out how I lost 500 lbs overnight!" ads. I hope you clear all your stuff off your computer on the regular.

I don't know what you are talking about, there are many rubbing alcohol sites and this product has been in existence for 100's of years. You want me to post all the links I can find?

I know you don't...that's my concern. All these sites leave crap on your computer.

Anyone alive knows about rubbing alcohol...

That site (virtually non existent in the US) isn't even at the top of a search so where did you find it?
