Are skincare products with alcohol in it bad for the skin?

I’ve recently purchased some Biotherm products but after reading some online customer reviews about the particular ones I have, I realized that they contain alcohol (it says “alcohol denat.” in the ingredients lists). I’ve heard that alcohol clogs pores or is very bad for the skin… now I’m debating whether or not I should go and return these skincare products (is Biotherm a good brand anyway?).
I’m pretty sure I have combination skin (oily T-zone). Would the products still dry out my skin?
