A member asked:
Is it fine to use a solution with alcohol or any skincare with alcohol denat or should i stop (acne prone skin)(inflammation)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzoyl peroxide: Those products are likely to irritate. More beneficial would be a 5% Benzoyl peroxide cream or gel, applied thinly at night and washed off each morning. These are available OTC.
