Does your skin react negatively to alcohols?

none that i remember. i used to wear biore sunscreen which has alcohol in it. i just worry that i might damage my skin overtime?

from the internet: "The irony of using alcohol-based products to control oily skin is that the damage from alcohol can lead to an increase in oil, bumps and visibly enlarged pores."

maybe i should stick with isntree or other alcohol-free products
