Alcohol
Alcohol Although alcohol is effective in clearing clogged pores, you might want to weed it out from your skin care regimen if you have sensitive skin. Aside from cleaning, it also strips off your skin's natural moisture which may lead to irritation and dryness. To know how much alcohol a product contains, check its order in the ingredient list: The higher the ingredient is on the list, the greater the amount used in the product. Take special care with products like toners, which often are made with a lot of alcohol (though these days, that's starting to change).

It's also worth pointing out that that there are certain types of alcohol that are generally considered sensitive skin-safe, such as cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and cetearyl alcohol.

Want to avoid alcohol? Try: Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner, $7.99
