Gels

What is the advantage of antiseptic gels over rubbing alcohol?

Antiseptic gels and sprays cost 10 times or more than regular rubbing alcohol. Is there any advantage? Little travel spray bottles cost about $1 and rubbing alcohol can sometimes be found for 50 cents. Why not just make your own?

1. You could but the antiseptic gels have moisturizers including in their formula which is less drying to your hands. Plain alcohol will soon have your hands dried out, your skin on your fingers will crack and then can let any virus into your body. You make the choice.
