What are the products called that are used to prevent the growth of microorganisms on the skin?

Antibiotics
Disinfectants
Antiseptics
Sterilants

The correct answer is: Antiseptics

Antibiotics and Disinfectants are not used on the skin, they are used externally to prevent the growth of microorganisms on non-living surfaces or inside the body. Sterilants are used to kill all microorganisms, including beneficial ones. Antiseptics are specifically designed to be used on skin and are gentler than disinfectants, making them suitable for use on living tissue. Therefore, antiseptics are the appropriate products to use for preventing the growth of microorganisms on the skin.
