A member asked:
Is hand santizer bad for your hands? i use xtracare brand from dollar tree mostly. it has 70% alcohol in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most hand sanitizers are 70% alcohol, and they tend to dry out the skin when used profusely. When used more sparingly, they do not tend to harm the skin. You may need some skin moisturizer, however. Good luck.
