Isopropyl alcohol ("rubbing" alcohol) is an antiseptic and will sanitize your cut. No, it does not "annihilate cells" that would help you recover. The only thing that helps you recover are platelets which are found in your blood anyways.

Hydrogen peroxide when in contact with blood, will product pure water and oxygen which will help you clean the cut, but not disinfect the wound.

I would use the hydrogen peroxide first to clean the cut, and then apply the alcohol (isopropyl or ethanol works) to sanitize the cut, then apply a bandage. Now let your body do its natural work to form the scab over a clean wound.
