Fungal Acne Safe Skincare
Effective, gentle, a pleasure to use. Dr. Sam’s never disappoints. This is specifically formulated to be fungal acne safe. It’s a bit more than drugstore micelles waters, but if I’m dealing with fungal acne I want extra nice products.
Flawless Cleansing Water
Gel Cleanser that is perfection for my super sensitive rosacea skin (with fungal acne in the summer), this also removes make up, so this can be your first or second cleanse. It’s unscented and feel just gorgeous on the skin.
Flawless Cleanser
This is delightful, pat in after washing before serums
TIRTIR Milk Skin Toner Light (150ml)
Instant hydration, easy application. I go through tons of these, I also spray this on my body after a shower before applying body lotion.
Liquid Hydration
Very hydrating and very soothing on sensitive inflamed skin, I was surprised how good this feels.
7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum (50ml)
A godsend for my inflamed skin, this calms down rosacea and fungal acne, it’s the most soothing moisturiser I’ve ever used.
Dr.G NEW RED Blemish Clear Soothing Cream 70ml
This has a little more body that the other moisturiser in this list, it’s very calming, it really feels as though Dr. Sam is giving your skin a hug. I love this so much 😍
Flawless Moisturiser Light
When dealing with fungal acne most products I use contain little or no oils. It’s delightful to have a safe face and body oil option, squalane is the only oil I could find that is safe to use with Malassezia. A little bit goes a very long way. I appl...
100% Squalane Oil
Fungal Acne Safe Hair Care
A classic for a reason, it works. Remember to double cleanse with this and leave it on for 3-5 min before rinsing.
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Treatment Shampoo
Fungal acne safe deep cleanse, this is a delight to use.
K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo
My favourite clarifying shampoo, it cleanses very well, but is not harsh in any way, both my scalp and my hair love it, which is very difficult to achieve, IYKYK.
Giovanni Golden Wheat Deep Cleanse Shampoo 250ml
A bit left field but hear me out! This is a traditional plant based cleanser, it has natural saponins which provide a gentle cleanse, but it also has anti-fungal properties. I use this when my hair wants a break from shampoo. It also enhances natural...
SAMYAM Natural Sidr/Jujube Powder 200g
My list would not be complete without this one. It’s a joy to use, cleanses deeply. It is (at least for me) quite strong, so I only use this once per month.
OUAI Detox Shampoo - Get #OUAIAddicted
Completely oil free, it gives my hair just what I need, it’s hydrating and has tons of film forming humectants, but no silicones. For natural hair girlies this is a must have.
Kinky-Curly Natural Leave-In Detangler 8oz
I love this because of the tea tree oil and the mint, it’s so refreshing on the scalp, which is always so nice when dealing with Malassezia. Could not recommend this enough.
Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Conditioner 250ml
I use a tiny bit on my hair after washing, when my hair is dry. I have a pixie cut, so 2 drops are enough.
Minimalist Squalane 100% Plant Face Oil 30ml
This contains sulphur and calms fungal nastiness on the scalp right down, eliminating pain and itchiness. Now this does contain lipids, so I don’t recommend you use this regularly, but when my itchy scalp became unbearable in the middle of the night ...
Camille Rose The Gro Grease 4oz
I apply this after washing and then once or twice each day.
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Scalp Soothing Leave-in Treatment 100ml
I fill some of them with the Nizoral Leave In Treatment for easy non-messy application, just roll it on, directly onto the scalp.
Alledomain 6Pcs 10ml Essential Oil Roller Bottles
Fungal Acne Safe Body Care
The name threw me off at first but people were raving about this, and for good reason. I thought this would be harsh but the opposite is true. It feels super nice on the skin, cleanses gently but effectively. I’ll definitely buy this again 👍
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Body Cleanser 400ml
This is a bit stronger but it is very effective. If your body skin is super dry I’d give this a miss, unless it’s an emergency.
Dr S. Wong's Sulfur Soap 80g - Health & Beauty from Kuya's Tindahan UK
Oil free, this works by fighting the bacteria that cause the funky smell. Simple. Effective. Repurchased many times.
KOSAS Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant - Beachy Clean
This is my favourite 🤩 Made with squalane only, which is fungal acne safe. The texture is light and creamy but it packs a punch with hydration and moisture. A staple in my home, if I have the coins for it.
Biossance Squalane + Caffeine Toning Body Cream 200ML
Who knew this is fungal acne safe? Not me, or at least not until I did extensive research. It’s so nice, it’s thick, it’s moisturising and budget friendly. I always have this on hand.
Deep Hydration Moisturizing Cream - Skincare
I’ve used this for years, this is better in winter for me when my skin gets a little dryer.
Lipikar Balm AP+M Moisturiser For Dry Skin 400ml
Proper winter body cream, nice and thick and moisturising, without having to worry that it’ll trigger the fungal acne. I apply this straight out of the shower onto my wet skin.
Eucerin Intensive Repair Creme 16 oz ...
