Alcohol tends to be a strong ingredient that is best avoided unless there’s a reason for using it. The Advanced Acne Pads are an acne medicine (pharmaceutical grade and prescribed by doctors) and in this case the benefits of alcohol justify its use. Alcohol is an anti-bacterial ingredient (acne is caused by bacteria), it is an excellent astringent (dissolves oils) and it is an ideal vehicle for higher concentrations of salicylic acid (one of the Advanced Acne Pads active ingredients).
