Using creams containing alcohol

Q: My question is if I could use alcohol based creams etc. for my face. I have bad pimples, achne, etc. Also can we use alcohol based perfumes and will these things break wudhu etc?

A: If the alcohol is made from besides dates and grapes and it does not contain anything impure, then it will be permissible to use it. It will not break the wudhu.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
