I love the fact that she didn’t even recommenced her own product for this, meaning she’s recommending something she is sure to be more beneficial for fungal acne cases :D not like other local brands 🙄 love u Liah. Just bought your sunscreen btw, loving it so much ❤️
I've had fungal acne (i live in a very hot country The Philippines!) and i watched your 1st video about it (which i highly recommend) You have helped me understand it better (i used to think they're whiteheads) and i read the link you provided. I used cosrx propolis, benton aloe propolis gel cream, BHA, and ketoconazole shampoo 2x a week and now i no longer have these bumps! Thank you Ms. Liah for your videos. They have helped me... A LOT! 😍😘
Liah hey! Would you consider creating a fungal acne product line for krave Beauty?? I don't see any other companies creating a fungal acne specific product line! I would love that as I don't want to have to think about ingredients in products (so lazy) and just apply/ use a routine that already has carefully selected products to prevent/reduce fungal acne! :)
I use a website called skincarisma and sezia.co to find fungal acne safe products!! It's been a life saver and my skin has cleared since I've started an FA safe skin routine. My bank account also thanks me because I don't buy anything on a whim anymore before making sure it's safe.
Got fungal acne a week ago after sweating heavily and using a cleaning oil for the first time...😅 *For those not sure on how to use the nizoral in their skincare routine, here's how I did it:* 1. I first rinse my face with water to remove any surface oils 2. Lightly pat my face dry with a disposable towel 3. Apply a dime sized amount on my forehead; spread thin on infected areas 4. Wait 10-15 minutes (sidenote: I slowly increased the amount of time I left the nizoral on my face by 5 minutes as the days progressed) 5. Emulsify nizoral with lukewarm water and gently washed my forehead like I would with any other cleanser 6. Rinse thoroughly! 7. Followed up with my regular cleanser as nizoral can dry out your skin and shouldn't be used as a stand alone face cleanser 8. After using a *Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser* , I lightly swipe away any excess water off my face 9. Now is a good time to start locking in the moisture since my face is still slightly damp, I go in with *Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist* 10. ☀️And finish it off with the *Hada Labo Skin Plumling Gel Cream* 🌑 At night, I use my curology treatment instead of the gel since it has 0.25% zinc pyrithione, 4% niacinamide, and no fungal promoting ingredients The first four days I didn't see much of a difference, but after the fifth day, I woke up with fewer acne bumps and my fungal activity visibly reduced. This is what worked for me! One website that really helped my determine which products to use and to avoid was: www.sezia.co/ It's not perfect, but it really made checking long ingredient lists quick and easy. 😊
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting! All the videos on getting rid of fungal acne tell you about a bunch of products but not one tells you how to incorporate it into your skincare regime. Thank you 🙏🏼
oh ain't you the sweetest! 1.The videos. 2. The long blog post ! ( simpleskincarescience.com) I ain't complaining it was very comprehensive. 3.The products . BUT NO ROUTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long did you use the nizoral for ? And once your acne started disappearing, did you stop using it or are you still continuing ? Please answer and help me SOS
It could be something that you are using. Personally I had surface dryness on my forehead so I stopped cleansing 2x a day. But then fungal acne popped up and Im trying to treat it.
I have chronically dry, rough, acne prone skin and ever sine I began treating it as fungal it has cleared up and is more hydrated than ever! I am only using 4-5 steps where as before I was layering 7-8 products and still ending up dry after a couple hours. I have been using Real-u foaming cleanser, Cosrx BHA, Hada Labo Premium Lotion (has urea!) and the Ordinary Squalane (more moisturising and faster absorbing for me than rosehip, jojoba, argan and marula oils)
hello, i had suffered fungal acne and i got rid of it really fast using these methods. 1. keep those areas from oil 2. using calamine and zinc oxide powder that’s usually used for prickly heat. What i used was Cussons Baby prickly heat protection powder. it keeps the fungal acne dry and calm those bumps. hope this helps!
Krissy Rogers have you tried the powder i mentioned before? it’s for baby, so i assume it will be just fine on any part of your face. correct me if i’m wrong😊
So I had to come back to this video and honestly say thank you so much. Your two videos on fungal acne have really helped me in my skin care journey, and honestly my skin has done such a 360 that at first I didn't even recognise the change until a month back when I looked at old pictures and video's of myself from last year. My skin was horrific, dry, oily and a pimpley mess! it was flakey and disgusting especially as I wear makeup on a daily basis, my skin looked very cakey beneath layers of foundation. The other day when I was going to pick up new foundation, I was heavily praised on how glowy my skin was and I felt so proud.
LIAH HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND. i was literally just researching routines on this and was so frustrated bc i couldn't figure one out thankyouuuu x a million
Thank you for featuring my favorite brand Benton! They're such an underrated company with great and safe product for the skin. No filler, silicone, and essential oils
I started using Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence and within a week my fungal acne started to disappear. After 10 days of use it is almost completely gone. Really happy with this product and will most likely continue using it.
I saw your other video and bought the “De La Cruz Sulfur Treatment” for what it seemed to be fungal acne :) Safe to say that although it did feel a little harsh on my skin afterwards, I woke up with much softer and clear skin!! The little bumps all around my jaw line are much smaller and my bigger pimples are dry!! Thank you ♥️ So far you’re my favorite skin care youtuber because you recommend products from all brands rather than trying to sell from a single company! It’s like you legitimately want to help people out with the never ending fight against acne 😭 Much love to you! I wish I had figured out I have fungal acne when I was in Korea earlier this winter but at least now I’m grateful I found your channel! Anyway! Keep doing what you’re doing gorgeous ♥️
I’ve been battling with folliculitis/fungal acne since 2017 and finally found the right products to help combat my persistent dilemma (mid of this year). My skin is getting better now at least. The key is to consistently use the products and not switching to other brands if you are already “hiyang” with your current skincare. As what derma always say, “Less is more”.
Honestly I don't even have acne (only occasional pimples on my cheeks) but Liah posted so !!! ☺ gonna watch this while I eat now. Seriously keep doing what you do, Liah, you're seriously such an inspiration and srsly the only person I turn to for skincare 😭
I used to have fungal acne a few months but now my forehead is basically fungal acne free. I cut back on dairy, drank more water. A product that really helped me was Mario Badescu’s buffering lotion !!
my biggest tip is to simplify ur skin care routine. Honestly I overdid it for the past 2 years and now that I am only using one product, it is starting to clear up so fast!!!
Sebamed's moisturizer is a good option too! I have fungal acne and I have been using this for so long. Although it does not heal acne, it does not aggravate the skin and calms the skin down. Since it is gel based it might not be as moisturizing as the cream based so it is recommended to add squalane oil to it!!
I remember first watching this video when it just came out, and wondering if the bumps on my face had anything to do with fungal acne. I look further into it and all signs pointed in this direction. Stared using nizoral anti dandruff shampoo on my face and chest every night before bed and in 2 months there was a dramatic difference. This video literally helped to cure my skin, and I had been dealing with fungal acne on my face for about 4 years... before then I had it on but back, but with dermalogical help it was taken care of. If you've had any similar issues and you think it could potentially be caused by fungal acne... do a little research and see a professional if u can. It helps alot.
@@mariel7475 Yes, I did keep using it after the bumps were gone, but less frequently since it wasn't needed as much. I find that even now I have to use nizoral at least twice a week just to keep them away. I also still experience break outside it I use any skin products that have irritating ingredients...even in my soap 😔
i am still confused whether i have fungal acne or just closed comedones (white heads), mine is small little bumps on my forehead that i cannot pick it up but it doesn't make me feel itchy....
@@LiahYoo plz need a reply i too have same malesezzia folliculitis can i use aloevera gel as a moisturizer ? After washing my face with mild face wash on daily basis.. ??? Plz nenled a rply
Just wanted to say that do not use any products with fatty alcohols in it like (linolic acid , palmitic acid or any fatty acid ingredients ) which will also feed the fungus to grow further. From my experience , I kept on using Soon Jung 2× intensive barrier cream and that has caused more fungal acne on my face. And as soon as I stopped using it , it has stopped producing new ones so yeah.
im so happy someone had to make this video ! finally ive found what is the problem of my skin omg 😭 i used to hydrate my skin using lots of fatty acids n sheet mask but it got worst ! and i dont even know what is the problem of my skin. but when i stop hydrate, it turns better. i watch a lot of video telling to protect the skin barrier and im really confused 😭 so this is the answer omg. sometimes i had the fungal acne at my back, chest, shoulder and neck. but mostly on my face. IM SO STRESS ! 😭
you were right about the sheet mask. i ditched wearing them for about a 3 months and my fungal acne diminished. i haven't had a major breakout eversince.
Liah! Can i please give you a cyber hug?? I’ve watched something like this before but disregarded, seeing this again just shed some more light for me. Thank you❤️
I really need to thank you sooo much. Your first video on fungal acne made me realize that that is probably what I had. A whole new world of remedies and skincare opened up and it has helped me A LOT. I don't even think I can understand how good the results have been with e.g. anti-dandruff shampoo. Will definitely try to use some of these products as well to get even better results hopefully. Thank you so much
I took antibiotics for a tonsil inflammation, and towards the end of taking them, I QUICKLY broke out in a bunch of small little red bumps on my chest neck and jaw line. It's been a few weeks of just trying to avoid make up and products and not knowing what was causing this break out, but I think it definitely seems like it might be fungal acne. Thanks so much for this video and your other one on fungal acne. ♡ Super informative. I'm gonna try some of the cheaper treatments and see if it helps. ~
Can you cover acne that appears on the chin and jawline? I've heard they're "hormonal acne" and are different from acne caused by excess oil and etc. :o I don't have acne on my T-zone but these stubborn ones still appear despite following an AHA/BHA cleanser, hydrate, some active ingredients, rosehip oil and moisturizing routine at night and only wash with water, then moisturize and sunscreen in the morning. (I'm in my early 20s)
WinnielyGamer most prob hormonal though. I’m in my mid 20s, but my chin and jaw area still goes crazy. Especially when travelling or changing a new lifestyle
Probably hormonal. I didn't struggle with acne in my teenage years, but when I hit 21 and started using contraceptives, my chin was taken by deep cystic acne. Best strategy: avoid sugar/ starches/refined carbs, soy, dairy, contraceptive pills and stress since these are the biggest hormone disruptors there are. Eat a lot of veggies (organic, preferably), vitamin A (liver, egg yolks) and omega 3 (salmon, sardines). Make sure your digestion is working well, this too can cause acne and inflammation in the body.
It could be fungal acne. Fungal acne is just COMMONLY on the forehead. I currently have fungal acne on my forehead, a little on my cheeks, shoulders, back, and chest, I also have it on my smile lines, and all over my chin/jawline. It’s painful and also itchy, sometimes aggressively itchy. I first discovered it when I tried a sulfur acne cream that was at my local Walmart and actually saw results for once. Check out this post someone made: simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/ They are very knowledgeable about the science involved in the ingredients we put on our skin and how it can affect fungal acne. EVERY INGREDIENT IN THE SKINCARE WE USE CAN AFFECT FUNGAL ACNE.
Thank you so much Liah. I've been suffering from this condition and struggling with finding the right products that won't aggravate the problem. You are a Godsend ❤️❤️❤️
Doctor said I had this. It seems like I did not after I almost died of anti fungal medicine killing my body. I used a cream with 2% zinc and it worked amazing. I have tried a lot.
I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is often caused by malessezia, and the best treatment I've found by far is ISDIN Nutradeica. I don't know if you can get it outside Europe, but it's seriously worth looking into it. It's a lightweight gel-cream type of product that is super easy and quick to add to the routine. My flare-ups tend to be in the summer and it's hydrating enough that I can usually skip moisturiser afterwards. I use it twice a day during a flare-up and then only once a day afterwards or if I see it's coming back. It's just a really good balancing treatment. I highly recommend it for everyone with seborrheic dermatitis and it's probably worth checking it out if you suffer from fungal acne as well.
OMG Liah! I have some fungal problems with my scalp! I never thought it could also have influence on my face! Thank you so much for making aware of this problem!
Hi just wanted to comment about how I’ve cleared 98% of my fungal acne on my forehead for the past 17 days with less than 5 products but mainly it was the Benton aloe propolis that treated me, it might not work for everyone but I just apply a generous amount on my face as an overnight mask and the next day i will wake up with a very smooth skin :) as I stay in singapore, the weather just kind of lets the acne thrive because of the heat, don’t know if my combination skin was the cause of this for the past few years even tho I’m only 15 TT I only have the fungal acne on my T-zone. No one would probably see this comment but hope this helps 😚 (Skincare routine): Morning & Night •[Krave Beauty matcha cleanser] this is not 100% safe as what Liah had said in the description but I don’t really mind what kind of cleanser I used because it’s just a wash off product •[Etude House Soon Jung Toner pH 5.5] I use it with a cotton pad in the morning while in the night I use my hands to pat in the toner •[Cosrx propolis light ampule] I didn’t really see anything happening with this, like I don’t really need it so I just use it at night •[Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing gel] I use it both in the morning + night and regardless of anytime throughout the day when I feel like I have nothing to do I just apply some onto my face it kind of treats my fungal acne faster •[Etude House sunprise mild perfect relief spf 30 pa++] I couldn’t find any sunscreen that was available but I happen to stumble upon this website www.skincarisma.com/ I heard lots of people finding this website helpful to them :) I found this sunscreen that was fungal acne free, it does not leave a white cast if u try to really blend it into your face, not the nicest texture and it may get oily after a while but i don’t mind, if not u can apply the innisfree no sebum mineral powder which I use sometimes if my face gets oily on the T-zone. Hope this helps people who doesn’t wanna use nizoral or other products as your treatment / can’t get the treatment products in your country :)
Thank you so much liah I've struggled with this for years and never knew what it was and i just tried using acne products but nothing works. Now i have about 90% clear skin 💓💓
I've been suffering from fungal acne for almost a year now. I recently started using this 1 cream.Yes you are reading it right: JUST 1 CREAM. It's from La Roche Posay and it's called effaclar duo + It did wonders on me. I've been using it twice a day for 5 days now and I see so much reduction in the fungal acne, it's really unbelievable!! Everybody should really try this!! I've tried everything else: antibiotics, antimyotics, glutenfree/nutsfree/peanutfree/chocolatefree diet, nirazol cream, washing my face with head and shoulders shampoo (burned my skin and the fungal acne just went on spreading even on the burned/dry/flaky skin💀) hormonal creams (did work, but when I stopped using it it would just come back much stronger in a few days!!)
@@winnietaurisiaa Recently I changed my routine, I've been waiting to post it because I wanted to make sure the results were consistent. But after 1,5 weeks I can say it definitely reduced my fungal acne. See I was looking for 1 product to heal my fungal acne. But I found out that it just doesn't work that way. Like this cream it worked for a few days, but soon I started breaking out again and had to try something else in addition. I'll post my current routine in a few minutes here. I've been using it the past 1,5 weeks and even my friends say that my skin looks much better now!
Current routine: I still use the La Roche posay cream twice a day. But now in the evening I clean my face with La Roche Posay eau mineral, then I put the head and shoulders shampoo (classic clean) on my face for 5 min and then wash it off. Then I exfoliate my skin with 2% salicylic acid extra strong of Paula's choice. After 15 min I proceed to apply the La Roche Posay cream (effaclar duo+ on the areas with fungal acne) and after a few minutes I use Sebamed soap as a mask on the area's with the fungal acne (so on top of the la roche posay cream). And I'm taking probiotics that amongst others contains the strain: Lacto bacillus paracasei! I'll keep you all updated on the progress! It's a lot of products but this is the only time when my fungal acne has been so reduced that I don't feel insecure about it anymore. I have been through hell! Everyday I would get atleast 8-10 new pimples, my entire face would hurt😭 And now I have days without any new pimples. The past week I maybe got 3 new pimples. I'm not there yet, but for me it's already a huge reduction. I also cut out wheat, all nuts, peanuts and chocolate (already for 4 months now). I hope this helps someone!
i stumbled on this video because i'm searching for an acne skincare routine that might help me. my acne started when i was 14, with tiny bumps that became itchy and i maybe scratched it that's why they turned red with puss inside. i also spotted a lot of whiteheads and blackheads on my face. i know for sure that salicylic acid can help to cure my acne but i found out that the product i used cointain ingredients that can trigger fungal acne. thanks to this channel, now i know what to buy and ingredients to avoid on the products i'll use.
I have Fungal acne since 1 1/2 years and my (perfect!) routine is: Make up remover with Squalane (Isana, Germany), MCT Oil (Amazon), Garnier 2in1 Waschgel (only Germany?), Isntree Green Tea Toner (Spray), Hada Labo Premium Toner or Isntree Hyaluron toner, Centella Asiatica ampoule from Skin 1004 Madagaskar, Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream is not available anymore here, but they have a perfect dupe: the perfect gel (yellow tub, 100ml and cheaper). The best moisturizer for Fungal acne is Cerave cream in the tub! I hate the cotz sunscreen, it’s like a mask. Elta md clear is always pilling. The perfect one is ISDIN Fusion water pediatrics (Germany, without alcohol). For Treatment I use Tretinoin 0,05%, BHA (Paulas choice liquid, it’s not 100% safe, Bravura London BHA is safe). Aha Gel from Paulas choice is safe, too. And the most important: fungus cream (like you use when you have excema of fungus) on the pimples over night. You‘re welcome 😉
Have you tried the normal Hada Labo HA lotion (non-premium)? It caused flare ups around my nose, should I still try the premium toner? Likewise, I can only get the Hada Labo perfect gel, is it a suitable replacement? Thanks
Hey Liah! I watched another one of your videos where you mentioned the magic of Tamunu oil! I spent all day researching, trying to self diagnose the type bumps that are on my skin. I just thought it was acne but after seeing this video I am now more confident that I have fungal acne. I already purchased some Tamunu oil. I was wondering if you think this product will still work and if you'd recommend it for this particular situation? Thanks so much for all your help!
I just want to give up. I've tried so hard to get rid of these bumps, I've spent so much money and time in trying different products. From nizoral shampoo, to korean skincare products such as cosrx and klairs. When I tell people that I'm trying to clear my skin, they don't get it because I don't have any red spots or big bumps. I've tried the dermatologist and gp. I just want these spots to disappear so I can feel confident when I'm bare faced. I really hope this video will help me out 😭😭😭😭
Okey so I have had the same problem, I have been trying for a very long time to get rid of these small bumps and finally they are going away. I don't know if this will help you but one thing that has helped me so much is using a clay mask. The one I have been using is one with Moroccan rhassoul clay. So I started using it about two months ago after trying so many products (I also tried the shampoo that you were talking about). In the beginning I used it every night and when the bumps started to go away I started using it every other day and then 1-2 times a week. I really understand how you are feeling, I felt like the bumps wouldn't go away and that nobody understood since it wasn't like "normal" red acne. I really hope I could help you a little bit and good luck with getting rid of your acne
@@klarissa5553 omg than you so much for this reply 💛💛💛 I will definitely try out this clay mask!! and that's exactly how I feel nobody understands, but hopefully it will work out for me! I'm so happy your ones start to go away!!
onnie you’re the best!!! i just bought benton aloe propolis in trial size and then this video came up. Idk how to say.. thank you very very very much. your suggestion has relieved me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This one if safe to use too! If you're not sure about a product check this site you just have to write the ingredient list and they'll you if it's safe to use for skins with fungal acne! folliculitisscout.com/
Skincare science and reddit saved my skin and helped me get rid of Fungal acne. It's been a month and 90 % of my FA is gone. I got fungal acne because my skin was dehydrated because of acids and not enough hydration.What helped was hydrating / moisturizing my skin a lot , changing my entire routine / products and using ketaconazole shampoo ( anti fungal ) 3 - 4 times a week. Right now I'm only using the shampoo once a week for maintenance and trying tretinoin twice a week since its recommended to use a keratolytic igredient or retinoids once you are cleared.
There is a Nizoral product special for the face it's the Nizoral cream and it might be better than using the shampoo 😊 Great adivise and thank you for speaking about this ❤
I live in Hawaii where theres so much MOISTURE in the air!!! 😭 I started doing too much in my skincare routine and for almost a YEAR I've had problems with what I thought was "acne" which only made it worse!!! This is the video I needed! 😭
I'm so glad with the 1st vid you made for fungal acne since during that time I have some on my forehead. Made the list for to do and no to and tadaaaaa its gone now but after watching this vid I want to still buy some products 😆 but waiiit I have to listen to my skin 😁. Anyway thanks liah 🌴🌴🌴💚💚💚 Love you always 🇵🇭
Liah! your videos about acne treatments are so helpful. I don’t know why I recently got a lot of hardened pimples which is really annoying. Can you make a video of how to get rid of blind harden pimples. Really appreciate it!
no, you can get it on the jawline too. Mine was more in the jawline than in the forehead, it wasn't cystic or infected, just clogged pores. If you're able to get anything out of the pores, one of the biggest signs it's fungal is the smell, if it has a bready smell to it, there's a good chance it's fungal. I tried everything, because my jawline was horribly clogged. Then I read Simple Skincare Science's blog, and everything he suggested worked. He goes into real detail on the blog with legit science to back it up. Liah first did a video on this based on reading his blog. But again, just because fungal acne usually occurs on the forhead, does not mean it can't be any place else. What type of acne it is has less to do with placement and more to do with how it behaves.
You can get it anywhere where there's a hair follicle technically, but it's mostly an issue on the forehead. If you have small colourless bumps on the jawline, it is still malassesia folliculitis
Hi Liah, good day to you. Can you advise the following: 1. I suspect I have Fungal Acne on my forehead & also have dry skin on my cheek area. May I know if it is safe to use 100% Aloe Vera to replace sheet mask instead? 2. I am experiencing itchiness on the affected area, is it a good idea to apply Tea Tree Essential Oil to stop the itch? Essential oil brand I am using is Doterra which 100% Pure, Safe & CPTG but I am unsure if it is advisable to apply on Fungal Acne. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Regards Elvira
Hi Liah! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing information with us! Please, How can I know if L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream is fungal acne free?
Liah I've done research into which ingredients in the Kale-lalu-yAHA grow fungal acne and I only found 1 its polysorbate 80 I'm not sure if having one ingredient truly effects fungal acne or not I'm really curious I might have to do a trial test and see if I have less or more while trying the dandruff shampoo! I love all your products !
I live in Malaysia so everyday is hot. I've been using skincare Benton Aloe Propolis Gel & Benton Snail Bee essence. My forehead was sooo clear. Once I bought & use the Somebymi red tea tree toner , then suddenly I have this small bumps on my forehead not itchy though. I checked the ingredients it is NOT FUNGAL ACNE SAFE. Before this, I wasn't sure I had fungal acne or not. After using SBM Red tea tree toner, now I know... I also like the SoonJung toner, very light 😊
So I get a lot of milia and because I cannot resist, I tend to squeeze them. This leads to really bad bruising and really bad scars. I have so many scars due to this. I am in need of finding products to treat this. Help a girl out or please make a video about it!
I'm someone with oily, fungal acne and milia-prone skin. I just straight up skip any eye creams and only use COSRX snail mucin as eye cream and moisturiser (summer) and during dryer weather add a layer of Benton Aloe Propolis soothing gel. Most eye creams give me milia.
i had milias before and the best way for me is to use small needle (trust me, super satisfy) . I noticed it's because of the use of Tatcha The Essence despite I love this brand so much. :(
Hello Liah and everyone, Loreal has two micellar water,1-refreshing(the blue one) and 2-moisturising(pink). Which one is better for fungal acne? Thank u😍
I was going fungal acne free because of Thayers Witch Hazel Toner + St. Ives GT scrub. However, my interest in skincare caused me to layer a lot of products on my face (thinking it would be ok) and few bumps did come back. I’m gonna cut back on the layering. Thanks for the vid!!
I am using aloevera gel as cleanser and moisturizing with Johnson & Johnson's baby oil.... showing good result ☺ healing session for my skin..... lockdown benefit😆
I used the U.F.O Ultra clarifying face oil(1.5% salicylic acid) and It got rid off all of the bumps in one week. The only down part was that it made my skin extremely dry but with a serum and moisturizer I got it back to normal.
I'm not sure but I'll say ' the ordinary - Niacinamide, zinc ' serum ... The Niacinamide is good for treating spots like yours and then the other ingredient - Zinc is good for fungal acne!
What about your sunscreen “Beet the sun” do you think it’s ok for fungal acne? I have been hunting for the sunscreen and really want to try yours Always get the best recommendation from you ❤️❤️love and support you to the moon and back❤️❤️
Please credit the blog that all this information and recommendations came from. I know that you mentioned him in your original video on fungal acne within the first minute of the video. His work has helped many people and he has a Patreon. Honestly was quite surprised how you put out a lot of his information without batting an eye. Crediting is important to your subscribers.
Thanks for this! I just recently picked up the Innisfree Ginger and Honey Skin. Would this help with fungal acne? I love it because it is so hydrating, but not sure if it will help my fungal acne situation.
Hi Liah! I’d like to ask you regarding your product recommendations to lighten up acne scars since it’s one of the problems that I am dealing right now. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge to us! xoxo 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Could you do a video on what makeup foundations are mostlyyyy fungal acne safe? I understand that makeup has a lot going on In its ingredients but there has to be something decent
My note:
1. Less is more
2. Drop sheet mask for a while.
3. Oil makeup remover to be avoided, use cleansing water instead such as Loreal Cleansing water
4. Toner such as SoonJung
5. Cosrx snail essence is good good )
6. Honey based is good for fungal acne
7. Aloepropoes?? Gel moisturizer
8. Hada labo moisturizer has urea which is a good ing for fungal acne
9. If want a milky moisturizer use Toleriane Liquid La Roche Posay. Highly recommended bz has ing very good. Depends on where it come out version.
+++Indie Lee Squalane oil WoW WoW
10. Avène tolérance perfect for iritated skin
11. Aveeno night cream
12. Cotz skin tinted for sunscreen 100% mineral, not clogged pores
13. Elta MD UV clear original vers sunscreen
#Treatment
14. Nizoral antidandruff syampoo has active ingredients (ketoconazole) to prevent growth fungal. Apply on forehead/fungal spot only for 10 minutes. Please washes it off.
15. I dont catch that ( . Something about honey
16. Stridex Maximum, but it too strong only for thick skin pp

thankz sis
Thank u, dear❤
Thanks so much sis. Just realized I've fungal acne after watching her video. I wanna try the suggested products and wish its suit me well😊😊
@@hanis4225 you can try Pristinex cream ketoconazole 2% too. Its cheaper and can buy on shopee.
@@nominae Thanks for suggestion😁😁. Gonna look up at Shopee.
I love the fact that she didn’t even recommenced her own product for this, meaning she’s recommending something she is sure to be more beneficial for fungal acne cases :D not like other local brands 🙄 love u Liah. Just bought your sunscreen btw, loving it so much ❤️
ruv u tooooo! thanks for supporting our lil brand
I love how real she is!!
I've had fungal acne (i live in a very hot country The Philippines!) and i watched your 1st video about it (which i highly recommend) You have helped me understand it better (i used to think they're whiteheads) and i read the link you provided. I used cosrx propolis, benton aloe propolis gel cream, BHA, and ketoconazole shampoo 2x a week and now i no longer have these bumps! Thank you Ms. Liah for your videos. They have helped me... A LOT! 😍😘
Where did you bought your ketoconazole shampoo?
@@hellaroaaaan one brand is nizoral
@@joanadls is it available in watsons?
Where did you buy the ketoconazole shampoo?
AMAZING!!!
Liah hey! Would you consider creating a fungal acne product line for krave Beauty?? I don't see any other companies creating a fungal acne specific product line! I would love that as I don't want to have to think about ingredients in products (so lazy) and just apply/ use a routine that already has carefully selected products to prevent/reduce fungal acne! :)
Yeeeesss...great idea! We should make a group of many people and write her :)!
Pleaseeee, its hard to find sunscreen that save for fungal acne :(
I use a website called skincarisma and sezia.co to find fungal acne safe products!! It's been a life saver and my skin has cleared since I've started an FA safe skin routine. My bank account also thanks me because I don't buy anything on a whim anymore before making sure it's safe.
Do anybody know about AcneDone.com Does it work? I hear lots of people break free from their acne with this popular acne treatment.
Hannah K YES!!!
Got fungal acne a week ago after sweating heavily and using a cleaning oil for the first time...😅
*For those not sure on how to use the nizoral in their skincare routine, here's how I did it:*
1. I first rinse my face with water to remove any surface oils
2. Lightly pat my face dry with a disposable towel
3. Apply a dime sized amount on my forehead; spread thin on infected areas
4. Wait 10-15 minutes (sidenote: I slowly increased the amount of time I left the nizoral on my face by 5 minutes as the days progressed)
5. Emulsify nizoral with lukewarm water and gently washed my forehead like I would with any other cleanser
6. Rinse thoroughly!
7. Followed up with my regular cleanser as nizoral can dry out your skin and shouldn't be used as a stand alone face cleanser
8. After using a *Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser* , I lightly swipe away any excess water off my face
9. Now is a good time to start locking in the moisture since my face is still slightly damp, I go in with *Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist*
10. ☀️And finish it off with the *Hada Labo Skin Plumling Gel Cream* 🌑 At night, I use my curology treatment instead of the gel since it has 0.25% zinc pyrithione, 4% niacinamide, and no fungal promoting ingredients
The first four days I didn't see much of a difference, but after the fifth day, I woke up with fewer acne bumps and my fungal activity visibly reduced.
This is what worked for me! One website that really helped my determine which products to use and to avoid was:
www.sezia.co/
It's not perfect, but it really made checking long ingredient lists quick and easy. 😊
hm po nizoral?
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting! All the videos on getting rid of fungal acne tell you about a bunch of products but not one tells you how to incorporate it into your skincare regime. Thank you 🙏🏼
oh ain't you the sweetest!
1.The videos.
2. The long blog post ! ( simpleskincarescience.com) I ain't complaining it was very comprehensive.
3.The products .
BUT NO ROUTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long did you use the nizoral for ? And once your acne started disappearing, did you stop using it or are you still continuing ? Please answer and help me SOS
This was INCREDIBLY helpful, thank you!
I just got rid of acne and now I’m getting fungal acne ahhhh
If you were taking any treatments internally then you could get fungal acne as you immune system got weak....
It could be something that you are using. Personally I had surface dryness on my forehead so I stopped cleansing 2x a day. But then fungal acne popped up and Im trying to treat it.
Same 😠
SAME ughhh!
same :((
I have chronically dry, rough, acne prone skin and ever sine I began treating it as fungal it has cleared up and is more hydrated than ever! I am only using 4-5 steps where as before I was layering 7-8 products and still ending up dry after a couple hours.
I have been using Real-u foaming cleanser, Cosrx BHA, Hada Labo Premium Lotion (has urea!) and the Ordinary Squalane (more moisturising and faster absorbing for me than rosehip, jojoba, argan and marula oils)
Thanks for sharing your routine 🎈
hi, im going through the exact same thing and have been for 4/5 years now... im just curious as to which cosrx BHA product you mentioned?
@@jieun92pm I am using their blackhead power liquid! It's a big size too so it lasts ages.

hello, i had suffered fungal acne and i got rid of it really fast using these methods.
1. keep those areas from oil
2. using calamine and zinc oxide powder that’s usually used for prickly heat. What i used was Cussons Baby prickly heat protection powder. it keeps the fungal acne dry and calm those bumps.
hope this helps!
Do you use it as spot treatment or like an ordinary face powder? Do you wash it off? :)
Cheeny Nono like a spot treatment, i leave it on overnight and if there’s still residue in the morning then i wash it off
Krissy Rogers have you tried the powder i mentioned before? it’s for baby, so i assume it will be just fine on any part of your face. correct me if i’m wrong😊
I didn't find the product you mentioned, am gonna try another, if makes my skin better, I'll recommend here.
what face wash do you use?
I'm literally broke
Mood
Same
Sameee
Get out of there!!!
you took the words right out my mouth and made me smile at the same time.
So I had to come back to this video and honestly say thank you so much. Your two videos on fungal acne have really helped me in my skin care journey, and honestly my skin has done such a 360 that at first I didn't even recognise the change until a month back when I looked at old pictures and video's of myself from last year. My skin was horrific, dry, oily and a pimpley mess! it was flakey and disgusting especially as I wear makeup on a daily basis, my skin looked very cakey beneath layers of foundation. The other day when I was going to pick up new foundation, I was heavily praised on how glowy my skin was and I felt so proud.
eljiea hi what products do u use??
What products eljeia?
when you just realize that you had fungal acne instead of acne 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Sis m telling you.
Same here...oh god I even went to dermatologist
@@shilpa2637 what did the dermatologist tell you?
@@angeltan1131 nothing...he just did chemical peel ....so there was result for while ...buT now ithe pimples are coming back
@@shilpa2637 oh,thanks for responding
LIAH HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND. i was literally just researching routines on this and was so frustrated bc i couldn't figure one out thankyouuuu x a million
Aw yay! Hope this was helpful 🙏🏼
Thank you for featuring my favorite brand Benton! They're such an underrated company with great and safe product for the skin. No filler, silicone, and essential oils
The paulas choice product definitely cleared most if not all my fungal acne !
EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU LIAH FOR THIS VIDEO!! Thank you Liah you saved me😭😭
I started using Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence and within a week my fungal acne started to disappear. After 10 days of use it is almost completely gone. Really happy with this product and will most likely continue using it.
I saw your other video and bought the “De La Cruz Sulfur Treatment” for what it seemed to be fungal acne :)
Safe to say that although it did feel a little harsh on my skin afterwards, I woke up with much softer and clear skin!! The little bumps all around my jaw line are much smaller and my bigger pimples are dry!! Thank you ♥️ So far you’re my favorite skin care youtuber because you recommend products from all brands rather than trying to sell from a single company! It’s like you legitimately want to help people out with the never ending fight against acne 😭
Much love to you! I wish I had figured out I have fungal acne when I was in Korea earlier this winter but at least now I’m grateful I found your channel!
Anyway! Keep doing what you’re doing gorgeous ♥️
you’re saving my life right now! i’ve just found out i have fungal acne, i’m so pissed! 😭
I’ve been battling with folliculitis/fungal acne since 2017 and finally found the right products to help combat my persistent dilemma (mid of this year). My skin is getting better now at least. The key is to consistently use the products and not switching to other brands if you are already “hiyang” with your current skincare. As what derma always say, “Less is more”.
What products do you use tho? :)
Eun Seol I use products from VMV Hypoallergenics.
+GM Do you use the whole product line?
Honestly I don't even have acne (only occasional pimples on my cheeks) but Liah posted so !!! ☺ gonna watch this while I eat now. Seriously keep doing what you do, Liah, you're seriously such an inspiration and srsly the only person I turn to for skincare 😭
I used to have fungal acne a few months but now my forehead is basically fungal acne free. I cut back on dairy, drank more water. A product that really helped me was Mario Badescu’s buffering lotion !!
my biggest tip is to simplify ur skin care routine. Honestly I overdid it for the past 2 years and now that I am only using one product, it is starting to clear up so fast!!!
Aw thanks for sharing🥰💚
Thank you Liah you save my skin. I’ve been struggle with this fungal acne almost 10years! Thank youuuuu hopefully my skin will turn better
Sebamed's moisturizer is a good option too! I have fungal acne and I have been using this for so long. Although it does not heal acne, it does not aggravate the skin and calms the skin down. Since it is gel based it might not be as moisturizing as the cream based so it is recommended to add squalane oil to it!!
Hands down the best skin care TH-camr that I've discovered so far. Much love to you Liah.
LOVE YOU! xx
I remember first watching this video when it just came out, and wondering if the bumps on my face had anything to do with fungal acne. I look further into it and all signs pointed in this direction. Stared using nizoral anti dandruff shampoo on my face and chest every night before bed and in 2 months there was a dramatic difference. This video literally helped to cure my skin, and I had been dealing with fungal acne on my face for about 4 years... before then I had it on but back, but with dermalogical help it was taken care of. If you've had any similar issues and you think it could potentially be caused by fungal acne... do a little research and see a professional if u can. It helps alot.
did u continue using it after they were visibly gone?
@@mariel7475 Yes, I did keep using it after the bumps were gone, but less frequently since it wasn't needed as much. I find that even now I have to use nizoral at least twice a week just to keep them away. I also still experience break outside it I use any skin products that have irritating ingredients...even in my soap 😔
@@levyvxod ughhh fungal acne is a struggle! thanks for responding ♡
I’m lowkey pissed because I just bought a cleansing balm and a whole bunch of sheet masks :(( Thanks for this video, Liah!
i am still confused whether i have fungal acne or just closed comedones (white heads), mine is small little bumps on my forehead that i cannot pick it up but it doesn't make me feel itchy....
same and im still confused
one way to know is to see if AHA works for those whiteheads. Try simplifying your routine first and maybe try skipping foundation for awhile to see :)
@@LiahYoo So if AHA gets rid of those bumps, they are just normal whiteheads, but if AHA doesn't do the job then it's probably fungal acne?
They're not always itchy - at least not for me
@@LiahYoo can i use aloever gel as a moisturizer i too have same fungus prone skin plz need a rply
THE ANSWER TO ALL MY PTOBLEMS LOL well some
I'm here to help you love!!! Miss you already
@@LiahYoo plz need a reply i too have same malesezzia folliculitis can i use aloevera gel as a moisturizer ? After washing my face with mild face wash on daily basis.. ??? Plz nenled a rply
Same 💀
Just wanted to say that do not use any products with fatty alcohols in it like (linolic acid , palmitic acid or any fatty acid ingredients ) which will also feed the fungus to grow further. From my experience , I kept on using Soon Jung 2× intensive barrier cream and that has caused more fungal acne on my face. And as soon as I stopped using it , it has stopped producing new ones so yeah.
When you are watching this with a sheet mask on 💀
immediately throws it off-
@@harleensingh3021 keeps it on because it was expensive
im so happy someone had to make this video ! finally ive found what is the problem of my skin omg 😭 i used to hydrate my skin using lots of fatty acids n sheet mask but it got worst ! and i dont even know what is the problem of my skin. but when i stop hydrate, it turns better. i watch a lot of video telling to protect the skin barrier and im really confused 😭 so this is the answer omg. sometimes i had the fungal acne at my back, chest, shoulder and neck. but mostly on my face. IM SO STRESS ! 😭
you were right about the sheet mask. i ditched wearing them for about a 3 months and my fungal acne diminished. i haven't had a major breakout eversince.
Liah! Can i please give you a cyber hug?? I’ve watched something like this before but disregarded, seeing this again just shed some more light for me. Thank you❤️
Yes for sure 🙈💚💚💚
Hey, just to let you know that honey worked very well as a spot treatment (and as a mask) for me, so thanks a lot!
How long did you leave it on and which type of honey did you use?
Marissa3leal raw honey ist the best you should let it for 10 minutes on your skin
I really need to thank you sooo much. Your first video on fungal acne made me realize that that is probably what I had. A whole new world of remedies and skincare opened up and it has helped me A LOT. I don't even think I can understand how good the results have been with e.g. anti-dandruff shampoo. Will definitely try to use some of these products as well to get even better results hopefully. Thank you so much
wow, now i know why rosehip oil broke me out, thank you liah!💖
I took antibiotics for a tonsil inflammation, and towards the end of taking them, I QUICKLY broke out in a bunch of small little red bumps on my chest neck and jaw line. It's been a few weeks of just trying to avoid make up and products and not knowing what was causing this break out, but I think it definitely seems like it might be fungal acne. Thanks so much for this video and your other one on fungal acne. ♡ Super informative. I'm gonna try some of the cheaper treatments and see if it helps. ~
Can you cover acne that appears on the chin and jawline? I've heard they're "hormonal acne" and are different from acne caused by excess oil and etc. :o I don't have acne on my T-zone but these stubborn ones still appear despite following an AHA/BHA cleanser, hydrate, some active ingredients, rosehip oil and moisturizing routine at night and only wash with water, then moisturize and sunscreen in the morning. (I'm in my early 20s)
WinnielyGamer most prob hormonal though. I’m in my mid 20s, but my chin and jaw area still goes crazy. Especially when travelling or changing a new lifestyle
Probably hormonal. I didn't struggle with acne in my teenage years, but when I hit 21 and started using contraceptives, my chin was taken by deep cystic acne. Best strategy: avoid sugar/ starches/refined carbs, soy, dairy, contraceptive pills and stress since these are the biggest hormone disruptors there are. Eat a lot of veggies (organic, preferably), vitamin A (liver, egg yolks) and omega 3 (salmon, sardines). Make sure your digestion is working well, this too can cause acne and inflammation in the body.
Yu yu yu yu yu it’s wither hormonal or digestion.
It could be fungal acne. Fungal acne is just COMMONLY on the forehead. I currently have fungal acne on my forehead, a little on my cheeks, shoulders, back, and chest, I also have it on my smile lines, and all over my chin/jawline. It’s painful and also itchy, sometimes aggressively itchy. I first discovered it when I tried a sulfur acne cream that was at my local Walmart and actually saw results for once. Check out this post someone made: simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/ They are very knowledgeable about the science involved in the ingredients we put on our skin and how it can affect fungal acne. EVERY INGREDIENT IN THE SKINCARE WE USE CAN AFFECT FUNGAL ACNE.
What was the cream you got from wally world?
Thank you so much Liah. I've been suffering from this condition and struggling with finding the right products that won't aggravate the problem. You are a Godsend ❤️❤️❤️
holy i needed this tysm 😭😭😩😍😍💖 ive been trying so hard to get rid of it and the solution is here!!!
I hope this helps you out in some way!!
I have those all over my face and i am so thankful you make a part 2 of it ....literally i cant thank you enough
Liah yoo is someone that i can confidently call as beauty with brain 😘
And what a relaxing voice she has 😍
Doctor said I had this. It seems like I did not after I almost died of anti fungal medicine killing my body. I used a cream with 2% zinc and it worked amazing. I have tried a lot.
I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is often caused by malessezia, and the best treatment I've found by far is ISDIN Nutradeica. I don't know if you can get it outside Europe, but it's seriously worth looking into it. It's a lightweight gel-cream type of product that is super easy and quick to add to the routine. My flare-ups tend to be in the summer and it's hydrating enough that I can usually skip moisturiser afterwards. I use it twice a day during a flare-up and then only once a day afterwards or if I see it's coming back. It's just a really good balancing treatment. I highly recommend it for everyone with seborrheic dermatitis and it's probably worth checking it out if you suffer from fungal acne as well.
oh wow thanks for sharing!
OMG Liah! I have some fungal problems with my scalp!
I never thought it could also have influence on my face!
Thank you so much for making aware of this problem!
Hi just wanted to comment about how I’ve cleared 98% of my fungal acne on my forehead for the past 17 days with less than 5 products but mainly it was the Benton aloe propolis that treated me, it might not work for everyone but I just apply a generous amount on my face as an overnight mask and the next day i will wake up with a very smooth skin :) as I stay in singapore, the weather just kind of lets the acne thrive because of the heat, don’t know if my combination skin was the cause of this for the past few years even tho I’m only 15 TT I only have the fungal acne on my T-zone. No one would probably see this comment but hope this helps 😚
(Skincare routine): Morning & Night
•[Krave Beauty matcha cleanser] this is not 100% safe as what Liah had said in the description but I don’t really mind what kind of cleanser I used because it’s just a wash off product
•[Etude House Soon Jung Toner pH 5.5] I use it with a cotton pad in the morning while in the night I use my hands to pat in the toner
•[Cosrx propolis light ampule] I didn’t really see anything happening with this, like I don’t really need it so I just use it at night
•[Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing gel] I use it both in the morning + night and regardless of anytime throughout the day when I feel like I have nothing to do I just apply some onto my face it kind of treats my fungal acne faster
•[Etude House sunprise mild perfect relief spf 30 pa++] I couldn’t find any sunscreen that was available but I happen to stumble upon this website www.skincarisma.com/ I heard lots of people finding this website helpful to them :) I found this sunscreen that was fungal acne free, it does not leave a white cast if u try to really blend it into your face, not the nicest texture and it may get oily after a while but i don’t mind, if not u can apply the innisfree no sebum mineral powder which I use sometimes if my face gets oily on the T-zone.
Hope this helps people who doesn’t wanna use nizoral or other products as your treatment / can’t get the treatment products in your country :)
Thank you so much for sharing your routine and tips!! Wow! I’m so happy for you xx
Liah Yoo no thank you so muchhhh :))
if i wear benton aloe propolis as an overnight mask, can i layer it with cosrx snail mucin ?
Iloveyoongi hii i’m from singapore too and was wondering where did you purchase the benton aloe propolis soothing gel
taeten hi you can! I use snail mucin first after that layer it with benton. And i feel that my skin better..
Thank you so much liah I've struggled with this for years and never knew what it was and i just tried using acne products but nothing works. Now i have about 90% clear skin 💓💓
Thank you so much for this. Can you do a fungal acne safe make up routine? That would be so helpful. Thank you!
If anyone is interested, I have recently started a fungal acne safe makeup channel! Request any type of makeup you want!
I went on sezia and put the ingredients from your krave cleanser and it has ingredients that promote malessezia!
I've been suffering from fungal acne for almost a year now. I recently started using this 1 cream.Yes you are reading it right: JUST 1 CREAM. It's from La Roche Posay and it's called effaclar duo + It did wonders on me. I've been using it twice a day for 5 days now and I see so much reduction in the fungal acne, it's really unbelievable!! Everybody should really try this!! I've tried everything else: antibiotics, antimyotics, glutenfree/nutsfree/peanutfree/chocolatefree diet, nirazol cream, washing my face with head and shoulders shampoo (burned my skin and the fungal acne just went on spreading even on the burned/dry/flaky skin💀) hormonal creams (did work, but when I stopped using it it would just come back much stronger in a few days!!)
Whaaaa💚 so happy for you! Thanks for sharing💚
@@LiahYoo No problem! I hope someone else can benefit from this too!😍
Hey im suffering from this too, i search you recommendation but doesn't it have some fungal acne trigger??, so im hesitate to buy it.
@@winnietaurisiaa Recently I changed my routine, I've been waiting to post it because I wanted to make sure the results were consistent. But after 1,5 weeks I can say it definitely reduced my fungal acne. See I was looking for 1 product to heal my fungal acne. But I found out that it just doesn't work that way. Like this cream it worked for a few days, but soon I started breaking out again and had to try something else in addition. I'll post my current routine in a few minutes here. I've been using it the past 1,5 weeks and even my friends say that my skin looks much better now!
Current routine: I still use the La Roche posay cream twice a day. But now in the evening I clean my face with La Roche Posay eau mineral, then I put the head and shoulders shampoo (classic clean) on my face for 5 min and then wash it off. Then I exfoliate my skin with 2% salicylic acid extra strong of Paula's choice. After 15 min I proceed to apply the La Roche Posay cream (effaclar duo+ on the areas with fungal acne) and after a few minutes I use Sebamed soap as a mask on the area's with the fungal acne (so on top of the la roche posay cream). And I'm taking probiotics that amongst others contains the strain: Lacto bacillus paracasei!
I'll keep you all updated on the progress! It's a lot of products but this is the only time when my fungal acne has been so reduced that I don't feel insecure about it anymore. I have been through hell! Everyday I would get atleast 8-10 new pimples, my entire face would hurt😭 And now I have days without any new pimples. The past week I maybe got 3 new pimples. I'm not there yet, but for me it's already a huge reduction. I also cut out wheat, all nuts, peanuts and chocolate (already for 4 months now). I hope this helps someone!
i stumbled on this video because i'm searching for an acne skincare routine that might help me. my acne started when i was 14, with tiny bumps that became itchy and i maybe scratched it that's why they turned red with puss inside. i also spotted a lot of whiteheads and blackheads on my face. i know for sure that salicylic acid can help to cure my acne but i found out that the product i used cointain ingredients that can trigger fungal acne. thanks to this channel, now i know what to buy and ingredients to avoid on the products i'll use.
I have Fungal acne since 1 1/2 years and my (perfect!) routine is:
Make up remover with Squalane (Isana, Germany), MCT Oil (Amazon), Garnier 2in1 Waschgel (only Germany?), Isntree Green Tea Toner (Spray), Hada Labo Premium Toner or Isntree Hyaluron toner, Centella Asiatica ampoule from Skin 1004 Madagaskar, Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream is not available anymore here, but they have a perfect dupe: the perfect gel (yellow tub, 100ml and cheaper). The best moisturizer for Fungal acne is Cerave cream in the tub! I hate the cotz sunscreen, it’s like a mask. Elta md clear is always pilling. The perfect one is ISDIN Fusion water pediatrics (Germany, without alcohol).
For Treatment I use Tretinoin 0,05%, BHA (Paulas choice liquid, it’s not 100% safe, Bravura London BHA is safe). Aha Gel from Paulas choice is safe, too.
And the most important: fungus cream (like you use when you have excema of fungus) on the pimples over night.
You‘re welcome 😉
Have you tried the normal Hada Labo HA lotion (non-premium)? It caused flare ups around my nose, should I still try the premium toner? Likewise, I can only get the Hada Labo perfect gel, is it a suitable replacement? Thanks
Anna F. What makeup do you use that is safe? I’m trying to find one
Hey Liah! I watched another one of your videos where you mentioned the magic of Tamunu oil! I spent all day researching, trying to self diagnose the type bumps that are on my skin. I just thought it was acne but after seeing this video I am now more confident that I have fungal acne. I already purchased some Tamunu oil. I was wondering if you think this product will still work and if you'd recommend it for this particular situation? Thanks so much for all your help!
Tamanu oil will definitely break you out. The only safe oil is sugarcane derived squalane oil
I just want to give up. I've tried so hard to get rid of these bumps, I've spent so much money and time in trying different products. From nizoral shampoo, to korean skincare products such as cosrx and klairs. When I tell people that I'm trying to clear my skin, they don't get it because I don't have any red spots or big bumps. I've tried the dermatologist and gp. I just want these spots to disappear so I can feel confident when I'm bare faced. I really hope this video will help me out 😭😭😭😭
Okey so I have had the same problem, I have been trying for a very long time to get rid of these small bumps and finally they are going away. I don't know if this will help you but one thing that has helped me so much is using a clay mask. The one I have been using is one with Moroccan rhassoul clay. So I started using it about two months ago after trying so many products (I also tried the shampoo that you were talking about). In the beginning I used it every night and when the bumps started to go away I started using it every other day and then 1-2 times a week. I really understand how you are feeling, I felt like the bumps wouldn't go away and that nobody understood since it wasn't like "normal" red acne. I really hope I could help you a little bit and good luck with getting rid of your acne
My skin took a drastic turn when i started taking omega 3 supplements: all the tiny bumps i had disappeared in a week or so

Skincare science and reddit saved my skin and helped me get rid of Fungal acne. It's been a month and 90 % of my FA is gone. I got fungal acne because my skin was dehydrated because of acids and not enough hydration.What helped was hydrating / moisturizing my skin a lot , changing my entire routine / products and using ketaconazole shampoo ( anti fungal ) 3 - 4 times a week.
Right now I'm only using the shampoo once a week for maintenance and trying tretinoin twice a week since its recommended to use a keratolytic igredient or retinoids once you are cleared.
There is a Nizoral product special for the face it's the Nizoral cream and it might be better than using the shampoo 😊
Great adivise and thank you for speaking about this ❤
I live in Hawaii where theres so much MOISTURE in the air!!! 😭 I started doing too much in my skincare routine and for almost a YEAR I've had problems with what I thought was "acne" which only made it worse!!! This is the video I needed! 😭

Whoa! Thanks for sharing! So happy for ya
what if they are not on the forehead but instead on the jawline area? is it not fungal acne then?
Jaw line is mostly hormonal acne but u might be strange one xd and got fungal acne :p but yeah just try what she said
No it can happen anywhere! But it’s the most prevalent in forehead area
if it's on the jawline it's probably hormonal acne :)
no, you can get it on the jawline too. Mine was more in the jawline than in the forehead, it wasn't cystic or infected, just clogged pores. If you're able to get anything out of the pores, one of the biggest signs it's fungal is the smell, if it has a bready smell to it, there's a good chance it's fungal. I tried everything, because my jawline was horribly clogged. Then I read Simple Skincare Science's blog, and everything he suggested worked. He goes into real detail on the blog with legit science to back it up. Liah first did a video on this based on reading his blog. But again, just because fungal acne usually occurs on the forhead, does not mean it can't be any place else. What type of acne it is has less to do with placement and more to do with how it behaves.
You can get it anywhere where there's a hair follicle technically, but it's mostly an issue on the forehead. If you have small colourless bumps on the jawline, it is still malassesia folliculitis
great video~ is food also related to fungal acne? is there a list of foods you rec to stay away from or include more of in your diet?
You can use MCT oil as a first cleanser and it actually works perfectly

Hi, I wanted to kindly ask which MCT oil are you using?
@@victoriaroman316 Hello! I'm using one from Nature's Way that I got on iHerb
Hi Liah, good day to you. Can you advise the following:
1. I suspect I have Fungal Acne on my forehead & also have dry skin on my cheek area. May I know if it is safe to use 100% Aloe Vera to replace sheet mask instead?
2. I am experiencing itchiness on the affected area, is it a good idea to apply Tea Tree Essential Oil to stop the itch? Essential oil brand I am using is Doterra which 100% Pure, Safe & CPTG but I am unsure if it is advisable to apply on Fungal Acne.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
Regards
Elvira

Hi Liah!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing information with us!
Please, How can I know if L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream is fungal acne free?
superrrr helpful, thanks! Also please make a video about makeup products that won't help fungal acne to grow :))
If anyone is interested, I have recently started a fungal acne safe makeup channel! You can request any type of makeup!
Liah I've done research into which ingredients in the Kale-lalu-yAHA grow fungal acne and I only found 1 its polysorbate 80 I'm not sure if having one ingredient truly effects fungal acne or not I'm really curious I might have to do a trial test and see if I have less or more while trying the dandruff shampoo! I love all your products !
더보기란에 제품명 나오면 더 좋을거같아요!
I live in Malaysia so everyday is hot. I've been using skincare Benton Aloe Propolis Gel & Benton Snail Bee essence. My forehead was sooo clear. Once I bought & use the Somebymi red tea tree toner , then suddenly I have this small bumps on my forehead not itchy though. I checked the ingredients it is NOT FUNGAL ACNE SAFE. Before this, I wasn't sure I had fungal acne or not. After using SBM Red tea tree toner, now I know...
I also like the SoonJung toner, very light 😊
So I get a lot of milia and because I cannot resist, I tend to squeeze them. This leads to really bad bruising and really bad scars. I have so many scars due to this. I am in need of finding products to treat this. Help a girl out or please make a video about it!
Yes please liah 🙏
Yes! Please!!
I'm someone with oily, fungal acne and milia-prone skin. I just straight up skip any eye creams and only use COSRX snail mucin as eye cream and moisturiser (summer) and during dryer weather add a layer of Benton Aloe Propolis soothing gel. Most eye creams give me milia.
i had milias before and the best way for me is to use small needle (trust me, super satisfy) . I noticed it's because of the use of Tatcha The Essence despite I love this brand so much. :(
same
Omg I wish you made this video back in summer!! I had really bad fungal acne from sweat, sheet masks, oily moisturisers and my skin over heating
I have exactly that but mine don’t itch 🤔 is it still fungal acne
Lizza Connie they usually itch but not necessarily, as long as they’re super small and you can’t pop them they’re considered as fungal
I have this as well and mine rarely itch.
Galina Must sams it barely itchessss
same*
Sunshine Yamada do you think it could be comedonal acne ??
Hello Liah and everyone, Loreal has two micellar water,1-refreshing(the blue one) and 2-moisturising(pink). Which one is better for fungal acne? Thank u😍
The pink one is the only safe one
9:11 oh my gosh your hiccup hahaha so cute
Hahaha 💞💓💓🙆
I was going fungal acne free because of Thayers Witch Hazel Toner + St. Ives GT scrub. However, my interest in skincare caused me to layer a lot of products on my face (thinking it would be ok) and few bumps did come back. I’m gonna cut back on the layering. Thanks for the vid!!
What moisturizer do you use?
@@wafahussain5986 Innisfree's GT Balancing Lotion!
캡쳐같은거할때 잠깐 짧게라도 한국어버전도 나왔으면...하는건 욕심일까요ㅠㅠㅠ 제가 일시정지잘해서 캡쳐할게요오오오ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I am using aloevera gel as cleanser and moisturizing with Johnson & Johnson's baby oil.... showing good result ☺ healing session for my skin..... lockdown benefit😆
한국의 스킨푸드는 재정 문제로 법정관리로 넘어가 결국 철수했어요... 😭 프로폴리스 세럼 대체 제품으로 추천해주실 게 있나요?

When she said ditch your sheet mask 😭😭😭 AND cleansing oil 😭😭😭😭😭
hmmm i feel you
I FEEL YOU i love sheet masks
You can use MCT or squalane oil for oil cleansing
Hey Liah, great informative video! Please may I ask, is the ordinary niacinamide and apple cider vinegar ok for fungal acne skin?
Thanks!
Apple cider vinegar is fermented, so I would avoid it
they're not itchy at all what are they acne or fungal acne or subclinical acne I don't really know if somebody know the answer please tell me
Probably subclinical cuz fungus acne itches
Thank youuuuu so much!! For your two videos about fungal acne!! I've been searching solutions to get rid of it!! Waiting for your new videos😊😊❤
How about THE ORDINARY SQUALANE?
That should do too!
Their squalane is really really good!
Use it is good
thank you for your videos been having a hard time with my skin, and you are down to earth and seem to actually care
I don’t have fungal acne but I’m still watching this 😍
Haha thanks for watching love!!
I used the U.F.O Ultra clarifying face oil(1.5% salicylic acid) and It got rid off all of the bumps in one week.
The only down part was that it made my skin extremely dry but with a serum and moisturizer I got it back to normal.
yoselin medina which moisturizer did you use along with the UFO?
What do we add to the routine to reduce hyperpigmentation? And in which step should it be applied on? Im freaking out from all these dots on my face 😭
I'm not sure but I'll say ' the ordinary - Niacinamide, zinc ' serum ... The Niacinamide is good for treating spots like yours and then the other ingredient - Zinc is good for fungal acne!
What about your sunscreen “Beet the sun” do you think it’s ok for fungal acne?
I have been hunting for the sunscreen and really want to try yours
Always get the best recommendation from you
❤️❤️love and support you to the moon and back❤️❤️
Please credit the blog that all this information and recommendations came from. I know that you mentioned him in your original video on fungal acne within the first minute of the video. His work has helped many people and he has a Patreon. Honestly was quite surprised how you put out a lot of his information without batting an eye. Crediting is important to your subscribers.
Naomi Blagaila agreed!!
I noticed as well. I'm shocked that there was no reference to his site on the video.
Came here just to say the same thing. Very disappointed that FC is not mentioned or his blog. This info is literally pulled from his blog.
Late to the party but agree. Even down to FC's idea of adding squalane oil to the moisturiser.
Agreed !
Hai there sis Liah! I’m a fan of yours & need some help tho. Does the soon jung moist relief all in one gel from etude house is fungal acne safe?
Thank you for introducing me to the Korean Skincare, Liah. Love, from Cambodia.
😘❤️

Thanks for this! I just recently picked up the Innisfree Ginger and Honey Skin. Would this help with fungal acne? I love it because it is so hydrating, but not sure if it will help my fungal acne situation.
Hi Liah! I’d like to ask you regarding your product recommendations to lighten up acne scars since it’s one of the problems that I am dealing right now. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge to us! xoxo 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
She has a video about this . She swears by Tamanu oil.
Could you do a video on what makeup foundations are mostlyyyy fungal acne safe? I understand that makeup has a lot going on In its ingredients but there has to be something decent
