oil can trigger acne for some people. you are basically rubbing grease to your face.

But i heard there are different alcohols in skin care. Some are okay and others are bad.

Alcohol dries your skin and makes you look older, so avoid that.

Everybody is talking good about CeraVe moisturizer, but all of their products contain alcohol.

Yeah, don't buy that shit then. Don't believe any sponsored youtubers or w/e. Anything with alcohol is shit.

If you have sensitive skin perhaps just avoid denatured alcohol/ethanol/ethyl alcohol in the ingredients list. Ethanol is volatile and evaporates quickly and so can dehydrate and possibly irritate the skin.
I personally wouldn't worry too much as the research evidence on alcohol gel doesn't really show any consistent negative effects. And most moisturisers with ethanol in have a very low % and other moisturising ingredients like glycerin to combat dryness.
FYI Other types of alcohol aren't as problematic and can even be beneficial. Cetyl alcohol, for example, is a fatty alcohol that doesn't evaporate much at all and feels oily on your skin.
