For everyone saying "why did she talk for so long before getting to the treatments?!" and "she talks too much", some people (such as myself) actually find the information she gives us helpful. Sometimes it’s useful to know how the problem is caused before you learn how to treat the problem. edit: holy crap I didn’t realise this had so many likes 😳
Lmao!! I remember when I was in middle school, I asked my friend "your skin is so perfect what do you use to wash it?!" And she kinda looked and me blank for a second and said "soap" I'm like "just soap?!" And she said "yea", all confused.... I'm 24 now and still have a hard time asking anyone else about there skincare after that one🤣😅
Jenni W people ask me the same thing I just have little hidden ones you can’t see cause I hide them but I just use water for my face cause your face has naturals and other stuff to help with the skin
Ikr!! And all the products I already have just have ingredients that will feed my acne instead of getting rid of it. I can't even go to Amazon to buy stuff because I have no money
Its Kim Ur shampoo might have some irritants that could affect ur acne as well.... so I don’t know for sure but if I were you I would look for products that are made specifically for the skin/acne.
im so tired of my acne i tried everything and it still got worse, when one pimple disappears it is replaced by another and the cycle goes on and it leaves a really dark mark i dont know what to do with this anymore
From my experience my acne lessened when I started exercising and going to the gym. Because I was working out I became more conscious of what I was eating because I thought I was going to waste what I worked hard for if I don't change my diet. It helped with my overall health and self confidence as well. Start with something small it will start to influence your other behavior maybe working out or making a food journal be aware of your diet we can all do these ♥️
You should really watch a video called “why don’t doctors know about this for acne” or something like that. Just type that into TH-cam and it should come up. I’ve been doing what it says with taking pantothenic acid and it has helped my acne a lot! Hope that helps
Re-posting my comment for visibility and to help out the fellas suffering from possible fungal acne: On a side note, just to be safe I avoid the following ingredients that can trigger fungal breakouts: Galactomyces Saccharomyces Natto Gum (soy protein derivative) Polysorbates (all numbers, 20, 40, 60 etc) Adenosine (yeast derived ingredient, used for wrinkles) Possible triggers: 1. Beta Glucan (if derived from yeast but sometimes, there is no way of knowing how the beta glucna is dervied, so I just avoid it) 2. Biosaccharide Gum - 1 (saccharide, which is sugar CAN feed yeast but information on this is contradictory so just be careful however, be aware that this is made from fermented plants). 3. I am NOT SURE OF THIS but anything with *lactobacillus FERMENT* but I am very sure that this is a good kind of bacteria, but for some reason, I still avoid it out of caution because my skin is just annoyingly reactive. Possible *skincare brands and lines* that use these fungal triggering ingredients: 1. *COSRX* Fermented/whitening line: galactomyces essence for example. Cosrx Goodmorning LOW pH cleanser - has saccharomyces ferment Cosrx Daily gentle Cleanser - has saccharomyces ferment 2.) *KLAIRS:* Supple preparation toner - has natto gum, and beta glucan Klairs VIT C juice drop - Polysorbate 60 Rich Moist Soothing Cream - Natto gum Rich Moist Serum - Natto gum Midday Blue lotion/sunscream - Lactobacillus Ferment and Adenosine 3.) *Innisfree* Green Tea Serum - has biosaccharide gum - 1 so just be wary 4.) *Missha and SK* essences. Unfortunately, a lot of Korean essences 5. *BENTON* Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence has polysorbate now. Even the blog that Liah used as a source has confirmed that the newer versions have been reformulated.
wimbletone OMG. I'm using benton snail bee high content essence and now I know the reason why the fungal acne keeps coming. Thank you for the information. It really helps.
wimbletone Lactobacillus are good bacterias, present in our body, they are important for metabolism and many other colon work. They come from milk derivatives, ie. Yoghurt - which can be used as effective calming and nourishing mask on the skin (including on inflamed akne or skin burns). As someone with hypersensitive skin, I'll recomend you to try baking soda on this type of acne since it's both exfoliating and topical antiseptic, just look for one finely mild and use it on previously cleaned skin (after usual cleanser or body wash). Keep in mind, it's drying do you need to moisturise right after.
really me today! But now that I know what type of acne I have I know what I have to do to get rid of it. Don’t let fungal acne control your life, still be you regardless. I hope your skin clears and you glow! ❤️🙌🏼
I so feel you! I've been struggling with fungal acne for years! When it flares up, it lasts for months and my self-confidence is totally shot. I cry all of the time. It's nice to hear that I am not alone at least. Now that I know what type of acne I have, it's all about using the right products. My most recent flare up started a few months ago and I was using the wrong products that made it worse. If you have access to it, try Ketoconazole, or Nizoral shampoo. I know shampoo on the face sounds strange but like Liah said, it really does work. After you cleanse, apply the shampoo to the infected area (mine is on the forehead) for about 15 minutes. Cleanse with a face wash that contains salicylic acid (fights fungal infections). Stay away from heavy moisturizers. I've been doing this for about a week now and my forehead is finally clearing up. I know I have long journey ahead of trying different suggested products but I'm confident that I will get this acne under control and you will too! Don't give up and don't let it control you!
Guys, I'm gonna try this and I'll update once in every three days. I already have a shampoo which has Ketoconazole and Zinc Pyrithione that was prescribed to me by my dermatologist for my hair. This will be my routine : I'll be washing my face with a Salicylic acid based face wash. And after that I'll apply the shampoo to the affected areas till it gets dry. So maybe like 10-15 mins, cleansing it with warm water after. Then I'll apply raw honey for sometime, and also wash it out. Then for moisturizing I'll apply Aloe Vera gel. I'll do this everyday for a week and once after another day the next week. My skin is oily and I've been having fungal acne for 5+ years. Since I'm a teenager, I always thought it'll fade away but it didn't. It came and went. So I'm hoping this works. This will be my honest opinion :D Day 1 : Skin is soft. The pimples are like a little not bumpy if that makes sense. Day 5: Sorry for the delay. My skin is a lot smoother and clear. I had some itchy feeling around my bumps before this but they seem to have reduced. However, this treatment is making my skin a bit more oily but my Aloe Vera gel and my Hyaluronic Acid based moisturizer is helping me. Will update more on Day 8 Day 8: The bumps on my cheeks have almost faded, only some are there. But still there is more on my forehead but it's a lot better than before. My only concern is that my skin is more oily but washing my face helps with it. I'm also using Fulller's Earth powder mixed with Rose Water for my oily skin as it has always helped me. I've noticed that using it does not affect my other shampoo, honey treatment. Also my itchiness has almost stopped. Only getting it once in awhile. More on Day 11. Day 11: Oh gosh this is working wonders on my skin! I'm falling in love with this routine everyday. My overall skin condition is improved from doing this, also working out, eating citrus fruits and cutting out dairy and dairy related products. From today I'll be using this one day after another, for one week :) Day 18 (final update) : Wow, I can't believe it. My skin is clear after AGES. I have some breakouts then and there but it fades within days. I followed my routine completely and got the best results. I really hope I don't get it after stopping it. Will recommended this for everyone with fungal acne, however experiment and change it up according to your preferences and always do a patch test.
I can read Braille out of my forehead. Treatment is at 6:30 btw but its important to listen to what it is and why you can get it. I live in Philippines so thats why I get them and I have rly oily skin lmao.
Check out the description box for more information! Also, by no means, the ingredients I've mentioned in the video are "bad" they're just simply not compatible with those with Malassezia Folliculitis. Good luck xx
On a side note, just to be safe I avoid the following ingredients that can trigger fungal breakouts: Galactomyces Saccharomyces Natto Gum (soy protein derivative) Polysorbates (all numbers, 20, 40, 60 etc) Adenosine (yeast derived ingredient, used for wrinkles) Possible triggers: 1.

Oh snap! :o I got that young Liah Yoo shout out! Haha thank you so much, I am honored and humbled. :D My sister and I both love your videos! Also congrats on the launch of KraveBeauty! So excited for you!! Eeeeeee! 🤓😬🌴💙
I just had clear skin for like 4 months now this fungal acne came back like 4 days ago i just order the sulfur orintment peoole who don't have to worry bout this they have it made. Some people be like ''its just acne'' no acne bring down people confidence i been dealing with acne since 6th grade.
@@DvrcG bro pag hinawakan mo ba face mo may mga bumps na maliliit? Nakakairita. Pasabi kung effective at diba maraming uri yang head and shoulders. Salamat
This is actually really interesting I've been struggling with this type of acne for years now but recently I've just given up on trying to cure it. All I do now is rub on some aloe Vera as a moisturising base and then my normal lotion and surprisingly it's been making my skin clearer. My pores are cleared. My skin is smoother and feels so much healthier and I don't even produce as much oil. But thanks anyway for this video. You're great.
Sun Child mine got better from using Aloe Vera gel, too! Many recommends using Nature Republic aloe vera gel, but I use the Innisfree one and it works!
Yess so true! Aloe vera gel does wonders to my skin too! My skin freaked out after I tried a harsh BHA and this is the only thing that could soothe and tone down the redness.
I definitely with Liah on her SKINCARE tips. But if a fungal overgrowth is happening within the body, then proper diet changes and supplemental advice from a professional is essential as well. I got this type of acne after my hormones became unbalanced and my body became vulnerable. Being gluten free, adding more alkaline foods (fermented foods are a no for my skin although some are different), detoxing my entire body (liver, digestive, parasite, foot soaks, detox foot pads, mental detox, armpit detox, and etc), supplementing with antimicrobial, hormone balancing, yeast reducing supplements, proper hydration are all essential in helping me maintain my health, weight, and skin. Skin is a holistic approach and I am a firm believer in natural products, k beauty products, DMK products.
i literally cry all the time because of it i just want it gone it literally ruins me i have had it for 3 years and i’ve legit tried everything but nothing works
Anu Jacob Who? Liah? If so. It’s because she’s throughly explaining fungal acne, the cause and treatments. All of that in 10 minutes is impressive. She’s not talking too much.
I suffered from this annoying bumps for yeaaaaaarsss... i cleared my acne, but those bumpy bastards stayed there on my forhead and whatever i put it didnt work... fruit acids, zinc tretments, benzoyl peroxide, clindamicin treatment... nothing in the world seemed to work... and after watching this, i went and bought klotrymazol cream... i couldnt find ketokonazol, so i bought this which is also antimycotic active ingridient. And i used toner that had urea... finally after i think 7 years of struggling with those stupid bumps, they are gone.. i must admit it feels weird to touch my forhead and it being sooo smooth :D
Gracelynn Angela i think its only available in few european countries... its Prima cosmetic AHA 5% toner that has urea as well... cause regular fruity acids toners didnt work for me. I dont know if there is any other that contains urea
+PositiveVibes Wow! You go, girl! I don't have that much fungal acne, but I looked in the mirror this morning and thought "wow! It's progressing.." I want to help it before it gets any worse. Can I ask, is your toner also a hydrator? I want to start hydrating my skin more. Thank you! Xx 🌴
@@sojuu3097 yes,but after that I continued with only lemon water and I noticed it became slower , so now I also apply natural alohvera it helps alot it's almost gone.
I had so much fungal acne on my forehead and I heard somewhere that drinking water helps with acne so I started drinking 2-3 litres a day and after 2 weeks my acne completely disappeared! So I definitely recommend drinking 2L a day (you should be anyway) while doing your skincare routine as well
Yeaa it took my body actually 2-3 months for it to get used to the new water routine and I do get occasional small breakouts due to excess sunscreen or my periods lol but it's wayyy better and I really don't have to do much for it to go away . Just sip water and stay stress free about what I eat .
I read the article you sourced down, and you forgot to mention Tea Tree Oil! “A few in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil) has strong antimicrobial properties against malassezia including M. furfur.” I had fungal acne when I was 10! When became 12 or 13, I discovered Lush! I bought their Tea Tree water (which includes Melaleuca alternifolia!) and coalface cleanser. In the summer after a few months, my mom and aunts said it really reduced my acne and skin (lol). I now realized that I was really lucky to came across it. My skin still has some of them and scars on my forehead plus normal acne since I’m still a teen. Also, “If you plan on using tea tree oil, make sure to dilute it at 1% concentration or less. Tea tree oil can be very irritating on the skin, so play it safe.” I got lazy writing this. Hopes it helps :))
I buy tea tree oil shampoo from my health food store fory dandruff. When I see bumps I use a little on my forehead to help clear it along with my ordinary 2% salicylic acid
I've finally found my solution after almost 2 years! Thank you so much i will definitely try these treatments and you OBVIOUSLY did your research so I trust your advice, you have no idea what self esteem problems i've been going through because this bumps on my forehead, now i can stop spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products that don't work. I truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart!
no dairy, no oily foods, shampoo with 1% anti-fungal . ME: eating fries with milkshake and bought shampoo and facial wash which has an ATE in the end....
I never had problems with my face, when i say never, i mean never. When i get acne, i usually just get 1-2 small bumbs that lasts 3 days. But recently, i have these stubborn bumbs on my forehead, they're not visible in dim light, but when i go outside, you coukd clearly see those tiny bumps on my forehead. Thanks for this video,i hope this helps.
You're literally my saving light THANK YOU!! I've been struggling with these for years and had countless breakdowns because it just ruins my confidence. I used every cream and treatment the doctors prescribed me and none of them worked even the doc gave up and sent me to the hospital. I've spent so much money I could spend on food on skincare products I saw from youtube but they weren't even talking about my skin type. I really needed this and that you list products is a blessing, thank you so much for your efforts love
I’ve been using rice water on my face two to three times a day as a toner for about a week now and 70% of my fungal acne has disappeared. To make it, wash your brown rice and soak it with water for about 12 hours. I transferred the strained water to a bottle and keep in in the fridge (important or it will go bad). I also double cleanse when I wear makeup, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, use a matte moisturizer with tea tree oil (the elf one in the pink bottle is a good one and it’s cheap) during hot days, use bb cream with salicylic acid to cover redness but don’t wear heavy makeup or super greasy sunscreen (la roche posay has a 60 spf matte sunscreen that works well) and use honey/ matcha face masks on my face every other day. I hope this helps. I also recommend steaming your face if you have time in your routine. I know how bad it is, you got this!
actually, for those of you in the comments arguing about diet, a lot of people will tell you it’s quite true that what you put into your body eventually leads back to your skin! Since yeast promotes sezia growth, eating foods with gluten ingredients can really flare up your skin! Stuff like starches and sugars can feed fungal acne as well, and dairy does the same. My sisters and I have all been cursed with fungal acne and we’ve found out (with the confirmation of many dermatologists) that what you eat really does make a huuuuge difference! It’s a hard diet to follow but once you get the hang of it your skin and gut will thank you! Trust me, it’s not just a myth Hope this helped those of you wondering about diet! ❤️
So you're telling me I need to drop this sweet piece of milk containing bread that is topped with sugar that I am eating right now? Fine. And thank you for the diet information
how does this look as a treatment routine? Morning: Water rinse Ketoconazole cream Sunscreen Night: Water rinse DIY Sulfur Mask - Water, lemon juice, raw honey, glycerin, turmeric powder, sulfur powder - once or twice a week MCT Oil cleansing/massage Gentle water-based cleanser or Ketoconazole shampoo used as mask/cleanser DIY Serum - Aleo Vera Juice - 5 drops, Aloe Vera Gel - 3 drops, Water - 2 drops, The Ordinary Squalane - 2 drops, The Ordinary "Buffet" - 1 drop, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid %2 - 1 drop (added separately in case of irritation), glycerin - 1 drop (if it doesn't mix well) Ketoconazole cream
GUYS!! I got them a few months ago, then i changed my toner to an apple cider and water mixture, and after a few days IT WAS GONE!!! It workss guyss u gotta try it! My tips to not get them at the first place based on my experience: 1. Dont use makeup while exercising 2. Dont let sweat linger on your skin too long, wipe it off with a clean tissue or towel 3. Wash ur face n shower right after you excercise, or jst soon dont delay that
@@rahmatsuheroes5590 i swiped my toner. I only used to to treat tht fungal acne tho after its gone i dont use it again, it can dry out my skin if i use it continuosly, as far as i know
@@elsamatoshi6989 i only used it to get rid of fungal acne tho, after its gone i use my usual toner again. It can dry out skin if u use it continuosly.
@Rayhane Atiqi i only used to to clear my fungal acne n afterwards i use my usual toner. Now im using homemade greentea toner as well! Acv toner is too hars if its uses continuosly it will dry out my skin
I got them two days ago and I’ve been nonstop moisturising my skin thinking it’s dry turns out I was feeding the little shits I’m gonna go cry now cuz I literally made it worse then what it was
- no you shouldn’t bc moisturizers have products that feed the fungus acne but when is topped moisturizing my skin got very dry so now I only apply a enough to keep my skin not dry and just hope for this stuff on my face to go away
@@evemangam hey.. it’s been one year and still have them. Been to the doctor gave me a tube it worked but when I stopped using it after a month like I was supposed they came back. They get worse sometimes and go back to dissapearing for a few days in between. I’ve seen some stuff in tiktok and am gonna order it to help hopefully but for now still there just not as bad as before. Cerva V moisturizer the body one except use it on your for your face helped me so much. Then again everyone’s skin is diff.
When you mentioned Salicylic acid can treat the forehead bumps, I felt relieved 😌 and proved why it diminished some of the bumps when I used Quick Fx anti acne ☺️☺️
Ive been having this kind of acne for years now. But when I started to just clean my face gently and adding moisturizer that has tea tree extract and its getting smoother by the day!
Liah you are just an amazing girl, you are just so knowledgeable in everything you talk about and you put info together with such an effectiveness and wonderful delivery , with funny and really cute and beautiful expression. Keep it up 🌴🌴🌴🍄😍 Love watching you explain complicated scientific and creative stuff in a simple away, I❤️ your approach.
Thank you this is going to save my life. For the first time in my 30+ years , I know I have fungal acne. White small bumps in my forehead and they inch. First time ever! I decided to give Korean products and this happened. I fall under your description. I live in. Humid climate and workout(sweat) and one night decided to use a couple korean products which were known for hydrating. I woke up with bumps in my forehead, sides of my jaws. Thank you I will be trying all you’ve recommended.
I've been using Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo on my on fungal acne for a while and was confused because it never seemed to be getting better. Turns out the sunscreen/moisturizer that I've been using every day in the morning (Cetaphil PRO Oil Absorbing Moisturizer) has Octisalate in it, which is ester. Thank you so much for helping me find out why my treatment wasn't working!
I have never actually seen anyone with acne as much as i go out. It might just be makeup, but reading everybody's comments made me feel like I'm not alone:) thank you so much:)
Ave had clear skin all my life so this is very scary for me and the fact that literally everyone keeps commenting about them makes it all the more depressing
This is going to be sort of long, I have been struggling with acne for almost 3 years now. It has taken so much of my time, my money, self confidence. In fact, I even got bangs to cover myself up and I don't let anyone see me without it. I am very aware that this makes your acne or fungal acne worse but this is the best I can do. I have done everything to make skin clear, I've tried different brands and everything. Everyday it just gets worse and new ones start coming. This has affected me so much that I cover my face entirely, using masks or anything at all to cover myself up. I even stopped focusing on my grades because I just wanted to feel pretty and clean. So to all the ones out there with the same problem. I just wanna let you know that you are not alone. I know how much these things affect your body image and stuff. It's tiring to see all these girls on the internet with flawless skin, perfect hair, amazing clothes, perfect body and amazing life. It makes us compare ourselves and ruin ourselves even more. It's completely natural for these things to appear. I hope whoever is reading this doesn't head to the same path that I did. I really hope you don't have to feel ugly because of these things. I'm insecure but I'm working really hard on it. My past wasn't really the best so I didn't take care of myself for months and well it lead to this. But now, I'm ready to make a change. I hope you are too. I love you
Hi my name is Kristine, I’m 13. I have a lot of bumps and fungal acne all over me. I’ve never really cared about my face or anything until the past month. I never cleansed my face, washed it, nothing. So I decided to buy this micellar cleansing gel, which helped me out so so so much. I’ve used it for two days and my skin is almost cleared up. My skin is a mix between everything, but very sensitive. I react badly to almost every single product. So yeah that’s my story :3
I used to suffer from this, and ended up going vegan for a year, and they disappeared! And now I’m not vegan anymore and the bumps haven’t returned. Definitely worth a try! 😊
Oh snap! :o I got that young Liah Yoo shout out! Haha thank you so much, I am honored and humbled. :D My sister and I both love your videos! Also congrats on the launch of KraveBeauty! So excited for you!! Eeeeeee! 🤓😬🌴💙
Your blog has been very helpful. I got my Squalane oil and Hada Labo Premium Lotion after reading your blog. ♥ Glad Liah decided to talk about your blog so a lot more people can be helped. Thanks Simple Skincare Science! :)
I hate when people are like “your face is stillpretty with acne!” Like ok so if you woke up with acne one day you’d be like “omg these pimples are bootiful”
I moved from having bad baaadddd uneven discolored skin tone, to full blown acne to now fungal acne! These tiny bumps look like rashes! I've drank water, I'm basically a fish, changed my diet, and I swear by veggies!!! Sooooo, I am now to knowing exact ingredients that my skin really needs, like that BHA! Thanks for the video!
@Solei Bernabe ghurl same. This comment is 9 months ago and basically 21 years old ako non. That time lang din ako nagka pimples dahil nga siguro sa weather o hormonal imbalance. Thank God nawala naman na mga pimples ko ngayon. Mawawala din yan, tiwala lang hahaha
Oh my god 😭 thank goodness I found this! Since September of last year I’ve been dealing with tiny small bumps on my face that no matter what I did wouldn’t go away. I felt sick of having to deal with bumpy skin :( I thought it was milia but now I realize it’s definitely fungal acne! Thank you T T I will try some of the products you recommended and crossing fingers my skin finally heals 🙆🏻♀️♥️
I used cosrx salicylic acid daily gentle and it totally cleared up my malassezia! I was super surprised. I actually didn't know that salicylic acid is actually one of the ingredients that can treat malassezia before. and i also just noticed that the cleanser also contains tea tree oil which is also an anti-fungal ingredient.
I commented above but please try ketokonazole and Apple cider vinegar on your hair. It has helped me a lot. I started using Apple cider vinegar on my hair about 6 years ago and I am very impressed by how it calms down itchiness and scalp buildup. Ketokonazole helps a lot too.
Depending on the reason you have dandruff (I have basically the scalp version of what Liah was talking about here, seborrheic dermatitis, ie fungal infection), different things will work. Apple cider vinegar and T-gel did nothing for me. Same for head and shoulders, selsun blue, etc. Neem oil helped reduce flakes and scales slightly, but not completely. The only thing that has worked for me was Ketoconazole (Nizoral shampoo)
YOU GUYS!! All I did to clear these tiny bumps is by not applying anything on my face for 2 days and it’s ALREADY GONE. I’ve never had pimples or acne my entire life so when this showed up I freaked out and tried to use all sorts of oils coconut, tea tree, olive, almond you name it. And the moisturisers that I was already using wasn’t helping either. Thank god I saw this video and learnt that these monster bumps were feeding off of the oils that I was applying and decided to dry my face out by not applying anything to my face for 2 days and it worked!!
It DID for ME hence why I rushed here to tell people about it! Now it’s completely gone. It’s funny how I spent weeks on applying creams and herbals on my face to get rid of it and when I stopped all of it it’s gone in literally 2 days.I would suggest you to give it a try but it’s your take.😊
Im using honey now. I'll update everyday. Day 1: a bit working Day 5: my face become smoother but some pimples appear. Day 7: my pimples cured and now i only have one.
I am using a mask i wear over night and in 3 days, my skin texture has improved significantly more than with other products I've used in the last month. I see that it has sulfur in it and it is why I see such improvement. I think I might of had fungal acne and haven't even known it. Thankful for this video. 🙏
There is no skin issue I don't have. My skin is dry, dehydrated, flaky, hyper-pigmented,sensitive skin along with visible pores and scars. My skin doesn't even tolerate a decent aloe gel. It has been 9 years since I started having skin issues. I almost am close to getting normal skin and again some issue occurs. I can't do this anymore. Now fungal acne is a new issue. Normal clear skin only seems like a dream now. And I don't even have budget to buy some good korean products.
I get this every summer for the last two years. Treating is so expensive. For some reason salicylic acid helped me the most and the fastest. I used the ordinary.
How do you tell whether or not it is fungal or just closed comedones? I have little bumps all over my face, but my face doesn't really itch all that often and *nasty alert* they can be squeezed most of the time. I've stalked SkincareAddiction and AsianBeauty on reddit, but I don't know what to do/what it is. Tretinoin took care of them in the past, but i just can't afford the derm right now.
Natalie Fletcher right? I have them on my cheeks area. And I realise, it will triggerly itched when I take in anything dairy. Especially milk. And they won't go away...😢
Fungal acne specifically itches and can rarely be popped, likely those are just closed comodones. I've had the fungus before (as she mentioned, tropical climates are a trigger and I lived in the tropics my whole life) and I used an anti-fungal cream to get rid of it. In your case, you may want to look into buying Vitiman A pills, breaking them open, and applying it topically. Chemical exfoliants may also be in your favor, as they remove layers of dead skin gently and efficiently.
I have fungal acne on my forehead, cheeks and jawline, I just ordered nizoral the anti-dandruff shampoo. I am going to start using it Monday and will take before and after pics and also comment on this comment for anyone wondering if it’s working or if I see any change! :) journey begins wish me luck!!!
Julia hernandez I’m on day 3 now and can see a very very small difference. My fundal acne is pretty bad so I’m going to give it a week and hopefully will see more process by next week Monday. Fingers crossed!
Sadé O thank you for the reply! I’ve been using an alternative to nizoral, and have found that parts of my skin have gotten so dry, it looks like eczema 😭 other than that I’m also on day 3, and it’s gone a way slightly.... we will get through this. 😭
Julia hernandez It’s been about a week and 2 days, it seems to be clearing up a bit but slowly, I have a lot of fungal acne on my forehead so I believe after the 2nd week it will be more clearer visibly... I put it on after the shower and wear it like a face mask for about 10-15 mins, my skin is super oily so it does not dry or crack my skin at all. I will check back ina couple of days :)
slothwoon U have to try KEFIR!!!! I have PCOS and drinking a glass of kefir before bed really helped my acne. I tried expensive skincare, korean skincare, drugstore etc... but kefir has been a miracle.
slothwoon But do you have acne on your forhead? Cause I've been suffering from acne about 2 years and i have it all over my face,at first it was on my cheeks only,and then my forhead got crazy and i don't know what to do anymore i had tried everything
Just wanna share that I watched this a year a go and I have tried almost all the possible solutions/treatment given in this video. First, for the ketaconazole, I tried putting an anti dandruff shampoo on the affected area (mostly my forehead) and it really didn't helped me much and it also caused my forehead to dry out so much. For the honey, I'm not really able to use this since, for some reason, my face hated honey. When I use it I unusually get a pimple. So this is a no. For the salicylic acid, i tried the TO one but it really didn't give me good results enough since the bumps were still there even with continuous use. But I did noticed that my skin was glowing so much. I then tried the TO BHA and AHA peeling solution. This guy stings like hell and makes me just want to claw my face out. But after using this for atleast a month, all the bumps on my face suddenly disappeared and I never had a pimple again. I follow the TO peeling solution with a Snail mask and I've never been more happier with my skin as of now. (I use the peeling solution every three days since I realized that i have such tough skin and that closer use of it will contribute to a faster improvement to my skin. But u guys should try using it for once a week first and then increase usage per week. And you should really hydrate your face after use since this can cause the face to become red and dry for some people.)
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us out with those tips!!! I've suffering with fungal acne and it sucks. But I gotta say, what's been working for me is ketoconazole. I actually have been using it as my last step in my skincare routine. I'm thankful for your recommendations on what products are safe for this kind of skin issue. Because now I know what exactly I should spend my money on lol
From Philippines here. Its really hot and humid here. I really suffered from this fungal acne before I even learned about skincare. But my face is fine now after trying out a lot of products. I'm here because my sister, who had a clear skin before just got this fungal acne and I'm researching for a good product for her to use.
This video is so informative and this is what I love about Liah, because she makes truly informative videos that peope can actually benefit from. I’d like to add one more tip for fungal acne and that is to not touch or scratch them because they will spread out more and more. I know it’s hard not to do that because these acnes can get quite itchy but just imagine them being gone.
I know im one year late but i wanna say that the "some by mi 30 day miracle serum" helped me so much!! I've been using it with the mario face spray for nearly a month only and I've noticed them almost disappearing! I put it once a day (in the morning) lmao this sounds like an ad but trust me it really works.. hope this helps ♥
I’ve used honey, and my fungal acne has cleared up so much! But now it’s starting to flare up again sadly:( then again I haven’t really been using the honey so much which is probably why. Thank you for suggesting it!
I wanna cry, I just want them gone. It literally ruins my self confidence.
Same here . Its so anoyying . I've tried so many product already .it didn't work .
Yeah Same!!! I have lots of bumps on my forehead and cheeks. 😭
Its harder to get rid off than acne sigh..
It’s worse to get rid of acne scars !! 😩😩😫
chandra sophan mine too. It's really annoying
For everyone saying "why did she talk for so long before getting to the treatments?!" and "she talks too much", some people (such as myself) actually find the information she gives us helpful. Sometimes it’s useful to know how the problem is caused before you learn how to treat the problem.
edit: holy crap I didn’t realise this had so many likes 😳
s r Right! You’ll never find a solution if you don’t know anything about the thing you’re trying to solve.
By the way I think this will help you get rid of acne: www.AcneSun .xyz
Exactly
smh... she's explaining what they are and what causes them... most people just want an instant fix so they don't bother listening .-.
Exactly!!! Thank you!!

Very true! 😭😭😭
I’m the 500 like :3
At least I’m a fun gal yall
zehra Ugurel this comment deserves the world
lmfao i laughed ouT LOUD 💀
KDHDJ i can't even-
Underrated comments
Lol 😂
People with clear skin be like “just use water and soap”. Bro, thanks so much I didn’t think of that 🙏
Lmao!! I remember when I was in middle school, I asked my friend "your skin is so perfect what do you use to wash it?!"
And she kinda looked and me blank for a second and said "soap"
I'm like "just soap?!" And she said "yea", all confused....
I'm 24 now and still have a hard time asking anyone else about there skincare after that one🤣😅
@@jenniw2338 Same lmao, I want to ask people what they use but Im scared if they think im weird ahahah
no, they usually be like "ew just wash your face" and i'm like thanks for advise you're a genius
i relate that, too.
Jenni W people ask me the same thing I just have little hidden ones you can’t see cause I hide them but I just use water for my face cause your face has naturals and other stuff to help with the skin
Why did I just only find this out when it’s corona time and I can’t go anywhere.
Omggg samee.....I'm crying rn coz I can't do anything about it
Sammeeee
this is the best time to treat your skin!
Sadé O no lie lol
Ikr!! And all the products I already have just have ingredients that will feed my acne instead of getting rid of it. I can't even go to Amazon to buy stuff because I have no money
Treatments:
Ketoconazole,
Honey/propolis extract,
Salicylic acids or Keratolutic agents,
Sulfur,
Urea, or anything anti-fungal 🖤
can i use ketoconazole (it's a dandruff shampoo) on my forehead?
i love ur pfp
Its Kim
Ur shampoo might have some irritants that could affect ur acne as well.... so I don’t know for sure but if I were you I would look for products that are made specifically for the skin/acne.
I was wondering if aleo Vera gell can help
Its Kim I tried that for a few weeks, but stopped because I thought it was irritating my skin, so I don’t know if I’m going to give it another try
im so tired of my acne i tried everything and it still got worse, when one pimple disappears it is replaced by another and the cycle goes on and it leaves a really dark mark i dont know what to do with this anymore
I think you have hormonal acne, and yes skincare helps but its really based on your diet.
🙁🙁 me too . In suffering breakouts
From my experience my acne lessened when I started exercising and going to the gym. Because I was working out I became more conscious of what I was eating because I thought I was going to waste what I worked hard for if I don't change my diet. It helped with my overall health and self confidence as well. Start with something small it will start to influence your other behavior maybe working out or making a food journal be aware of your diet we can all do these ♥️
You should really watch a video called “why don’t doctors know about this for acne” or something like that. Just type that into TH-cam and it should come up. I’ve been doing what it says with taking pantothenic acid and it has helped my acne a lot! Hope that helps
Jazzy Abalo how do you know it’s hormonal I’m just wondering
i hate when people say "just wash your face" like don't you think i've tried that already? ugh if only it was that easy
I see Taehyung-ah everywhere😌💜💜
@@ichiigo-chan 💜😂
@Hailey XO yep😑
It won't work if you won't stop eating oily foods/unhealthy foods.
@@babyzyrineenriquez494 i do eat healthy! trust me, i find healthy food way tastier than junk food!
Re-posting my comment for visibility and to help out the fellas suffering from possible fungal acne:
On a side note, just to be safe I avoid the following ingredients that can trigger fungal breakouts:
Galactomyces
Saccharomyces
Natto Gum (soy protein derivative)
Polysorbates (all numbers, 20, 40, 60 etc)
Adenosine (yeast derived ingredient, used for wrinkles)
Possible triggers:
1. Beta Glucan (if derived from yeast but sometimes, there is no way of knowing how the beta glucna is dervied, so I just avoid it)
2. Biosaccharide Gum - 1 (saccharide, which is sugar CAN feed yeast but information on this is contradictory so just be careful however, be aware that this is made from fermented plants).
3. I am NOT SURE OF THIS but anything with *lactobacillus FERMENT* but I am very sure that this is a good kind of bacteria, but for some reason, I still avoid it out of caution because my skin is just annoyingly reactive.
Possible *skincare brands and lines* that use these fungal triggering ingredients:
1. *COSRX*
Fermented/whitening line: galactomyces essence for example.
Cosrx Goodmorning LOW pH cleanser - has saccharomyces ferment
Cosrx Daily gentle Cleanser - has saccharomyces ferment
2.) *KLAIRS:*
Supple preparation toner - has natto gum, and beta glucan
Klairs VIT C juice drop - Polysorbate 60
Rich Moist Soothing Cream - Natto gum
Rich Moist Serum - Natto gum
Midday Blue lotion/sunscream - Lactobacillus Ferment and Adenosine
3.) *Innisfree* Green Tea Serum - has biosaccharide gum - 1 so just be wary
4.) *Missha and SK* essences. Unfortunately, a lot of Korean essences
5. *BENTON* Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence has polysorbate now. Even the blog that Liah used as a source has confirmed that the newer versions have been reformulated.
wimbletone OMG. I'm using benton snail bee high content essence and now I know the reason why the fungal acne keeps coming. Thank you for the information. It really helps.
Love your icon 😁🔥 JangMin. 💕
Omg i have been using Innisfree greentea serum jezz no wonder why
Whaaaat I never expected anything from Cosrx being bad for my skin which cleaners do you reccomend
wimbletone Lactobacillus are good bacterias, present in our body, they are important for metabolism and many other colon work. They come from milk derivatives, ie. Yoghurt - which can be used as effective calming and nourishing mask on the skin (including on inflamed akne or skin burns).
As someone with hypersensitive skin, I'll recomend you to try baking soda on this type of acne since it's both exfoliating and topical antiseptic, just look for one finely mild and use it on previously cleaned skin (after usual cleanser or body wash). Keep in mind, it's drying do you need to moisturise right after.
Treatment 6:30 😊

The real MVP 🙌🏾
Thanks
Nina Hudsen 👍
The information is important though so 👎
This fungal acne just ruined my life. I wanna cry to see my face. Really.
really me today! But now that I know what type of acne I have I know what I have to do to get rid of it. Don’t let fungal acne control your life, still be you regardless. I hope your skin clears and you glow! ❤️🙌🏼
@@lizz4994 thank you :") 💕
Is it okay now?
I so feel you! I've been struggling with fungal acne for years! When it flares up, it lasts for months and my self-confidence is totally shot. I cry all of the time. It's nice to hear that I am not alone at least. Now that I know what type of acne I have, it's all about using the right products. My most recent flare up started a few months ago and I was using the wrong products that made it worse. If you have access to it, try Ketoconazole, or Nizoral shampoo. I know shampoo on the face sounds strange but like Liah said, it really does work. After you cleanse, apply the shampoo to the infected area (mine is on the forehead) for about 15 minutes. Cleanse with a face wash that contains salicylic acid (fights fungal infections). Stay away from heavy moisturizers. I've been doing this for about a week now and my forehead is finally clearing up. I know I have long journey ahead of trying different suggested products but I'm confident that I will get this acne under control and you will too! Don't give up and don't let it control you!
Same im just happy that im not alone having this kind of acne cause nothing will work on my face and im getting insecure
Never thought my biochemistry lessons would help me understand all the skincare ingredients liah is talking about 😂
I know, right? ::'v
Ha dude same
Do you know if Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an ester?
Dude same and i majored in it too lmao
When you realize you've been using the wrong skincare this whole entire time.

Guys, I'm gonna try this and I'll update once in every three days. I already have a shampoo which has Ketoconazole and Zinc Pyrithione that was prescribed to me by my dermatologist for my hair. This will be my routine : I'll be washing my face with a Salicylic acid based face wash. And after that I'll apply the shampoo to the affected areas till it gets dry. So maybe like 10-15 mins, cleansing it with warm water after. Then I'll apply raw honey for sometime, and also wash it out. Then for moisturizing I'll apply Aloe Vera gel. I'll do this everyday for a week and once after another day the next week. My skin is oily and I've been having fungal acne for 5+ years. Since I'm a teenager, I always thought it'll fade away but it didn't. It came and went. So I'm hoping this works. This will be my honest opinion :D
Day 1 : Skin is soft. The pimples are like a little not bumpy if that makes sense.
Day 5: Sorry for the delay. My skin is a lot smoother and clear. I had some itchy feeling around my bumps before this but they seem to have reduced. However, this treatment is making my skin a bit more oily but my Aloe Vera gel and my Hyaluronic Acid based moisturizer is helping me. Will update more on Day 8
Day 8: The bumps on my cheeks have almost faded, only some are there. But still there is more on my forehead but it's a lot better than before. My only concern is that my skin is more oily but washing my face helps with it. I'm also using Fulller's Earth powder mixed with Rose Water for my oily skin as it has always helped me. I've noticed that using it does not affect my other shampoo, honey treatment. Also my itchiness has almost stopped. Only getting it once in awhile. More on Day 11.
Day 11: Oh gosh this is working wonders on my skin! I'm falling in love with this routine everyday. My overall skin condition is improved from doing this, also working out, eating citrus fruits and cutting out dairy and dairy related products. From today I'll be using this one day after another, for one week :)
Day 18 (final update) : Wow, I can't believe it. My skin is clear after AGES. I have some breakouts then and there but it fades within days. I followed my routine completely and got the best results. I really hope I don't get it after stopping it. Will recommended this for everyone with fungal acne, however experiment and change it up according to your preferences and always do a patch test.
I read that using luke water is best, not too hot or too cold
@@hope4ul I didn't mention it there but I am indeed using Lukewarm water :)

This is actually really interesting I've been struggling with this type of acne for years now but recently I've just given up on trying to cure it. All I do now is rub on some aloe Vera as a moisturising base and then my normal lotion and surprisingly it's been making my skin clearer. My pores are cleared. My skin is smoother and feels so much healthier and I don't even produce as much oil. But thanks anyway for this video. You're great.
Sun Child do you use aloe vera straight from the plant or what brand?
Sun Child mine got better from using Aloe Vera gel, too! Many recommends using Nature Republic aloe vera gel, but I use the Innisfree one and it works!
Sun Child its because aloe vera has anti fungal properties☺️
Though aloe Vera products from the stores are good for convenience, using the actual aloe Vera plant will be even more beneficial! :))
Yess so true! Aloe vera gel does wonders to my skin too! My skin freaked out after I tried a harsh BHA and this is the only thing that could soothe and tone down the redness.
I definitely with Liah on her SKINCARE tips. But if a fungal overgrowth is happening within the body, then proper diet changes and supplemental advice from a professional is essential as well. I got this type of acne after my hormones became unbalanced and my body became vulnerable. Being gluten free, adding more alkaline foods (fermented foods are a no for my skin although some are different), detoxing my entire body (liver, digestive, parasite, foot soaks, detox foot pads, mental detox, armpit detox, and etc), supplementing with antimicrobial, hormone balancing, yeast reducing supplements, proper hydration are all essential in helping me maintain my health, weight, and skin. Skin is a holistic approach and I am a firm believer in natural products, k beauty products, DMK products.
How did you detoxify your body
i literally cry all the time because of it i just want it gone it literally ruins me i have had it for 3 years and i’ve legit tried everything but nothing works
Why is she talking so much?
Anu Jacob Who? Liah? If so. It’s because she’s throughly explaining fungal acne, the cause and treatments. All of that in 10 minutes is impressive. She’s not talking too much.
Well.. I've had it for 7years😓
I've had clear skin my whole life but malassezia just had to ruin my life when I'm becoming a teen! smh
same and i got it during lockdown so i’m going back to school with a glow down :(
Same 😭
no 08 me too, I have clear skin through out my whole life, but I got fungal acne during lockdown
Wth i think everyone who has a clear skin before start havin this shit starting the lockdown bcs i am one of the person
@@sofialou1809 nah I have had mine for 3 years and thought it was just a rash or something until I found out that it was malassezia
I suffered from this annoying bumps for yeaaaaaarsss... i cleared my acne, but those bumpy bastards stayed there on my forhead and whatever i put it didnt work... fruit acids, zinc tretments, benzoyl peroxide, clindamicin treatment... nothing in the world seemed to work... and after watching this, i went and bought klotrymazol cream... i couldnt find ketokonazol, so i bought this which is also antimycotic active ingridient. And i used toner that had urea... finally after i think 7 years of struggling with those stupid bumps, they are gone.. i must admit it feels weird to touch my forhead and it being sooo smooth :D
May I know which toner you use? Thankyou
Gracelynn Angela i think its only available in few european countries... its Prima cosmetic AHA 5% toner that has urea as well... cause regular fruity acids toners didnt work for me. I dont know if there is any other that contains urea
kyunaticify maybe 2 weeks? But using nizoral shampoo and controls my foods is more effective I guess.
kyunaticify yes, as someone said, for about 2 weeks, morning and night... it can be little oily but it didnt cause me to break out regular acne...
+PositiveVibes
Wow! You go, girl! I don't have that much fungal acne, but I looked in the mirror this morning and thought "wow! It's progressing.." I want to help it before it gets any worse. Can I ask, is your toner also a hydrator? I want to start hydrating my skin more. Thank you! Xx 🌴
My fungal acne itches when i click on this video, they know im trying to kick them out of my forehead😩
I drank fresh lemon water every morning and guess what half of it has already gone after just 2 weeks I'm going to continue untill the end
Really?
@@sojuu3097 yes,but after that I continued with only lemon water and I noticed it became slower , so now I also apply natural alohvera it helps alot it's almost gone.
exo _kyung thanks for the reply. And I like your profile pic.😁 Cute Jongdae
How’s ur skin now? Curious hhshsjjs
Yeah. How is it now?
I had so much fungal acne on my forehead and I heard somewhere that drinking water helps with acne so I started drinking 2-3 litres a day and after 2 weeks my acne completely disappeared! So I definitely recommend drinking 2L a day (you should be anyway) while doing your skincare routine as well
Yeaa it took my body actually 2-3 months for it to get used to the new water routine and I do get occasional small breakouts due to excess sunscreen or my periods lol but it's wayyy better and I really don't have to do much for it to go away . Just sip water and stay stress free about what I eat .
smile Atme can you get big brake outs of doing this prosses
24Fire WolfAJ no but it might be hard drinking a lot of water suddenly so I recommend gradually drinking more as you go on
smile Atme ok thank you
i drink like a solid 10 water bottles a day.. and my skin still isn't clear
I read the article you sourced down, and you forgot to mention Tea Tree Oil! “A few in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil) has strong antimicrobial properties against malassezia including M. furfur.” I had fungal acne when I was 10! When became 12 or 13, I discovered Lush! I bought their Tea Tree water (which includes Melaleuca alternifolia!) and coalface cleanser. In the summer after a few months, my mom and aunts said it really reduced my acne and skin (lol). I now realized that I was really lucky to came across it. My skin still has some of them and scars on my forehead plus normal acne since I’m still a teen.
Also, “If you plan on using tea tree oil, make sure to dilute it at 1% concentration or less. Tea tree oil can be very irritating on the skin, so play it safe.” I got lazy writing this. Hopes it helps :))
hi, how do you dilute the tea tree oil?
I buy tea tree oil shampoo from my health food store fory dandruff. When I see bumps I use a little on my forehead to help clear it along with my ordinary 2% salicylic acid
But tea tree oil really burns my skin
@@nurinathirah6312 a bit of a late reply (sorry !) but you could just use water to dilute it
Just use the body shop tea tree face wash
I've finally found my solution after almost 2 years! Thank you so much i will definitely try these treatments and you OBVIOUSLY did your research so I trust your advice, you have no idea what self esteem problems i've been going through because this bumps on my forehead, now i can stop spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products that don't work. I truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart!
dearsflowers what did u use ?
no dairy, no oily foods, shampoo with 1% anti-fungal
.
ME: eating fries with milkshake and bought shampoo and facial wash which has an ATE in the end....
I agree . Stay away from dairy and bad food it will only make it worst
MEEE
Lmao I love this
HAHHAHA and i eat pizza...
actually the more fat you eat, the more fat you burn, (obviously on a low carb diet) which also has an effect on the skin

I never had problems with my face, when i say never, i mean never. When i get acne, i usually just get 1-2 small bumbs that lasts 3 days. But recently, i have these stubborn bumbs on my forehead, they're not visible in dim light, but when i go outside, you coukd clearly see those tiny bumps on my forehead. Thanks for this video,i hope this helps.
It’s gone now? What did you used?
You're literally my saving light THANK YOU!! I've been struggling with these for years and had countless breakdowns because it just ruins my confidence. I used every cream and treatment the doctors prescribed me and none of them worked even the doc gave up and sent me to the hospital. I've spent so much money I could spend on food on skincare products I saw from youtube but they weren't even talking about my skin type. I really needed this and that you list products is a blessing, thank you so much for your efforts love
I love how well-researched this video is. The references you used make me feel more at ease at trying what you included here
I’ve been using rice water on my face two to three times a day as a toner for about a week now and 70% of my fungal acne has disappeared. To make it, wash your brown rice and soak it with water for about 12 hours. I transferred the strained water to a bottle and keep in in the fridge (important or it will go bad). I also double cleanse when I wear makeup, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, use a matte moisturizer with tea tree oil (the elf one in the pink bottle is a good one and it’s cheap) during hot days, use bb cream with salicylic acid to cover redness but don’t wear heavy makeup or super greasy sunscreen (la roche posay has a 60 spf matte sunscreen that works well) and use honey/ matcha face masks on my face every other day. I hope this helps. I also recommend steaming your face if you have time in your routine. I know how bad it is, you got this!
actually, for those of you in the comments arguing about diet, a lot of people will tell you it’s quite true that what you put into your body eventually leads back to your skin! Since yeast promotes sezia growth, eating foods with gluten ingredients can really flare up your skin! Stuff like starches and sugars can feed fungal acne as well, and dairy does the same. My sisters and I have all been cursed with fungal acne and we’ve found out (with the confirmation of many dermatologists) that what you eat really does make a huuuuge difference! It’s a hard diet to follow but once you get the hang of it your skin and gut will thank you! Trust me, it’s not just a myth
Hope this helped those of you wondering about diet! ❤️
So you're telling me I need to drop this sweet piece of milk containing bread that is topped with sugar that I am eating right now? Fine. And thank you for the diet information

From someone who has endured itchy acne for a long time, thank you! 😘
GUYS!! I got them a few months ago, then i changed my toner to an apple cider and water mixture, and after a few days IT WAS GONE!!! It workss guyss u gotta try it!
My tips to not get them at the first place based on my experience:
1. Dont use makeup while exercising
2. Dont let sweat linger on your skin too long, wipe it off with a clean tissue or towel
3. Wash ur face n shower right after you excercise, or jst soon dont delay that
You usually swipe your toner or just quite it for a few minutes?
Ana Vasquez i’ve been using acv for about a week and my skin is kinda developing more pimples. is it purging or breaking out idkkk
@@rahmatsuheroes5590 i swiped my toner. I only used to to treat tht fungal acne tho after its gone i dont use it again, it can dry out my skin if i use it continuosly, as far as i know
@@elsamatoshi6989 i only used it to get rid of fungal acne tho, after its gone i use my usual toner again. It can dry out skin if u use it continuosly.
@Rayhane Atiqi i only used to to clear my fungal acne n afterwards i use my usual toner. Now im using homemade greentea toner as well! Acv toner is too hars if its uses continuosly it will dry out my skin
I got them two days ago and I’ve been nonstop moisturising my skin thinking it’s dry turns out I was feeding the little shits I’m gonna go cry now cuz I literally made it worse then what it was
- no you shouldn’t bc moisturizers have products that feed the fungus acne but when is topped moisturizing my skin got very dry so now I only apply a enough to keep my skin not dry and just hope for this stuff on my face to go away
Update?
@@evemangam hey.. it’s been one year and still have them. Been to the doctor gave me a tube it worked but when I stopped using it after a month like I was supposed they came back. They get worse sometimes and go back to dissapearing for a few days in between. I’ve seen some stuff in tiktok and am gonna order it to help hopefully but for now still there just not as bad as before. Cerva V moisturizer the body one except use it on your for your face helped me so much. Then again everyone’s skin is diff.
When you mentioned Salicylic acid can treat the forehead bumps, I felt relieved 😌 and proved why it diminished some of the bumps when I used Quick Fx anti acne ☺️☺️
Ive been having this kind of acne for years now. But when I started to just clean my face gently and adding moisturizer that has tea tree extract and its getting smoother by the day!
what products did you use?
Liah you are just an amazing girl, you are just so knowledgeable in everything you talk about and you put info together with such an effectiveness and wonderful delivery , with funny and really cute and beautiful expression. Keep it up 🌴🌴🌴🍄😍 Love watching you explain complicated scientific and creative stuff in a simple away, I❤️ your approach.
Thank you this is going to save my life. For the first time in my 30+ years , I know I have fungal acne. White small bumps in my forehead and they inch. First time ever! I decided to give Korean products and this happened. I fall under your description. I live in. Humid climate and workout(sweat) and one night decided to use a couple korean products which were known for hydrating. I woke up with bumps in my forehead, sides of my jaws. Thank you I will be trying all you’ve recommended.
I sweat a lot, my skin is oily, oh shoot no wonder mine never goes away :')
I've been using Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo on my on fungal acne for a while and was confused because it never seemed to be getting better. Turns out the sunscreen/moisturizer that I've been using every day in the morning (Cetaphil PRO Oil Absorbing Moisturizer) has Octisalate in it, which is ester. Thank you so much for helping me find out why my treatment wasn't working!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS ALL MY LIFE
i got this after I got bangs. I would neverr put up my bangs and i had them 24/7. and i sweat excessively from my forehead.
same. I'm never getting bangs again 😅
I have a big ass forehead so I need my bangs but what I do is put clip them away at home. And I saw some changes 😌😌
I have never actually seen anyone with acne as much as i go out. It might just be makeup, but reading everybody's comments made me feel like I'm not alone:) thank you so much:)
Ave had clear skin all my life so this is very scary for me and the fact that literally everyone keeps commenting about them makes it all the more depressing
This is going to be sort of long, I have been struggling with acne for almost 3 years now. It has taken so much of my time, my money, self confidence. In fact, I even got bangs to cover myself up and I don't let anyone see me without it. I am very aware that this makes your acne or fungal acne worse but this is the best I can do. I have done everything to make skin clear, I've tried different brands and everything. Everyday it just gets worse and new ones start coming. This has affected me so much that I cover my face entirely, using masks or anything at all to cover myself up. I even stopped focusing on my grades because I just wanted to feel pretty and clean.
So to all the ones out there with the same problem. I just wanna let you know that you are not alone. I know how much these things affect your body image and stuff. It's tiring to see all these girls on the internet with flawless skin, perfect hair, amazing clothes, perfect body and amazing life. It makes us compare ourselves and ruin ourselves even more. It's completely natural for these things to appear. I hope whoever is reading this doesn't head to the same path that I did. I really hope you don't have to feel ugly because of these things. I'm insecure but I'm working really hard on it. My past wasn't really the best so I didn't take care of myself for months and well it lead to this. But now, I'm ready to make a change. I hope you are too. I love you
Hi my name is Kristine, I’m 13. I have a lot of bumps and fungal acne all over me. I’ve never really cared about my face or anything until the past month. I never cleansed my face, washed it, nothing. So I decided to buy this micellar cleansing gel, which helped me out so so so much. I’ve used it for two days and my skin is almost cleared up. My skin is a mix between everything, but very sensitive. I react badly to almost every single product. So yeah that’s my story :3
I used to suffer from this, and ended up going vegan for a year, and they disappeared! And now I’m not vegan anymore and the bumps haven’t returned. Definitely worth a try! 😊
Nobody
Not a single soul

THANK YOU so much for your extensive research to your blog. I learn a lot from it and actually saved my skin through your knowledge. YOU ARE AWESOME!
ohmygod your blog helps me a lot!! thankyouu
Your blog has been very helpful. I got my Squalane oil and Hada Labo Premium Lotion after reading your blog. ♥ Glad Liah decided to talk about your blog so a lot more people can be helped. Thanks Simple Skincare Science! :)
Thank you so much FC
I hate when people are like “your face is stillpretty with acne!”
Like ok so if you woke up with acne one day you’d be like “omg these pimples are bootiful”
Thank you so much for not plugging super expensive products and actually telling us what ingredients we should and shouldn't use!
i dont know why its so relaxing hearing ur voice
Sounds like italian 'cause it is actually latin and italian comes from it! 😄
Everything makes sense now 😂
Gennaro Giuliana wow che bello non essere l'unica italiana tra i commenti haha
uguale ahahah
Cristina Dragu idem haha
Domineremo il mondo 😂
Why people unliked this video???She is so much of knowledge,,
When she said "hot and humid countries such as the PhiLlippinEs"
I felt that.
when she mentioned the “Philippines”,
I was triggered, ever since I moved back here, I get these bumps 😭
I moved from having bad baaadddd uneven discolored skin tone, to full blown acne to now fungal acne! These tiny bumps look like rashes! I've drank water, I'm basically a fish, changed my diet, and I swear by veggies!!! Sooooo, I am now to knowing exact ingredients that my skin really needs, like that BHA! Thanks for the video!
"hot and humid countries such as Philippines"
Me: *_How did you know I'm from Philippines?_* 😨
Same sis ngayon lang nag labasan yung acne ko sa sobrang init na dito sa ph🙄 21 yr old nako ngayon lang ako nag ka-acne😭
@Solei Bernabe ghurl same. This comment is 9 months ago and basically 21 years old ako non. That time lang din ako nagka pimples dahil nga siguro sa weather o hormonal imbalance. Thank God nawala naman na mga pimples ko ngayon. Mawawala din yan, tiwala lang hahaha
Becz she is Liah yoo
Sunscreen daw abi ni Hyram wag polbo sus wag based from expirience

Oh my god 😭 thank goodness I found this! Since September of last year I’ve been dealing with tiny small bumps on my face that no matter what I did wouldn’t go away.
I felt sick of having to deal with bumpy skin :( I thought it was milia but now I realize it’s definitely fungal acne! Thank you T T I will try some of the products you recommended and crossing fingers my skin finally heals 🙆🏻♀️♥️
Don't use God's name in vain.
@@estetic6806 bro nobody even thinks of god when saying that why were u so mad💀
I used cosrx salicylic acid daily gentle and it totally cleared up my malassezia! I was super surprised. I actually didn't know that salicylic acid is actually one of the ingredients that can treat malassezia before. and i also just noticed that the cleanser also contains tea tree oil which is also an anti-fungal ingredient.
So informative! Is it possible to do a video like this about dandruff and treatments/products to use?
I commented above but please try ketokonazole and Apple cider vinegar on your hair. It has helped me a lot. I started using Apple cider vinegar on my hair about 6 years ago and I am very impressed by how it calms down itchiness and scalp buildup. Ketokonazole helps a lot too.
Yes to ketokonazole! I also highly recommend neutrogena t-gel shampoo.
Depending on the reason you have dandruff (I have basically the scalp version of what Liah was talking about here, seborrheic dermatitis, ie fungal infection), different things will work. Apple cider vinegar and T-gel did nothing for me. Same for head and shoulders, selsun blue, etc. Neem oil helped reduce flakes and scales slightly, but not completely.
The only thing that has worked for me was Ketoconazole (Nizoral shampoo)
Me watching her peacefully:
Everytime she says “itch”:
My face: *ITCH*
YOU GUYS!! All I did to clear these tiny bumps is by not applying anything on my face for 2 days and it’s ALREADY GONE.
I’ve never had pimples or acne my entire life so when this showed up I freaked out and tried to use all sorts of oils coconut, tea tree, olive, almond you name it. And the moisturisers that I was already using wasn’t helping either. Thank god I saw this video and learnt that these monster bumps were feeding off of the oils that I was applying and decided to dry my face out by not applying anything to my face for 2 days and it worked!!
Vee does this actually work
It DID for ME hence why I rushed here to tell people about it! Now it’s completely gone. It’s funny how I spent weeks on applying creams and herbals on my face to get rid of it and when I stopped all of it it’s gone in literally 2 days.I would suggest you to give it a try but it’s your take.😊
Vee thanks :)
BryceBuilds lemme know how it goes for you!
I've been doing so much stuff for my "acne" when really it's been this and I'm so mad now
Im using honey now. I'll update everyday.
Day 1: a bit working
Day 5: my face become smoother but some pimples appear.
Day 7: my pimples cured and now i only have one.
tania's life did it work
@@Elsiepie a bit. I'm using it again now.
So how’s it going?
I love you for all these years of frustration with everything to do with acne finally it makes sense literally you are godsend skin problem solver
It's rare in my school to have pimples
I'm from Philippines, and still wondering how they got clear skin

Me from the Philippines with fungal acne all over the face: maybe it's time to immigrate😃
Same here 😊😂
I am using a mask i wear over night and in 3 days, my skin texture has improved significantly more than with other products I've used in the last month. I see that it has sulfur in it and it is why I see such improvement. I think I might of had fungal acne and haven't even known it. Thankful for this video. 🙏
*im not alone* 😭
Imma start curing it now...see you in a few weeks
It’s been months how are you doing
It turn out that the reason for my acne was that I wasn’t cleaning my face properly
Liah, you're always spot on! Thank you for addressing these topics. I think these videos are very useful and the newest ones, too!
There is no skin issue I don't have. My skin is dry, dehydrated, flaky, hyper-pigmented,sensitive skin along with visible pores and scars. My skin doesn't even tolerate a decent aloe gel. It has been 9 years since I started having skin issues. I almost am close to getting normal skin and again some issue occurs. I can't do this anymore. Now fungal acne is a new issue. Normal clear skin only seems like a dream now. And I don't even have budget to buy some good korean products.
I get this every summer for the last two years. Treating is so expensive. For some reason salicylic acid helped me the most and the fastest. I used the ordinary.
it is really helpful?
How do you tell whether or not it is fungal or just closed comedones? I have little bumps all over my face, but my face doesn't really itch all that often and *nasty alert* they can be squeezed most of the time. I've stalked SkincareAddiction and AsianBeauty on reddit, but I don't know what to do/what it is. Tretinoin took care of them in the past, but i just can't afford the derm right now.
Natalie Fletcher right? I have them on my cheeks area. And I realise, it will triggerly itched when I take in anything dairy. Especially milk. And they won't go away...😢
Have you tried AHA/BHA I see that all over reddit, but I don't know how long to expect it to take or how often to use it ):
Fungal acne specifically itches and can rarely be popped, likely those are just closed comodones. I've had the fungus before (as she mentioned, tropical climates are a trigger and I lived in the tropics my whole life) and I used an anti-fungal cream to get rid of it. In your case, you may want to look into buying Vitiman A pills, breaking them open, and applying it topically. Chemical exfoliants may also be in your favor, as they remove layers of dead skin gently and efficiently.
Natalie Fletcher I use to have closed comedones but I started using niacinamide and zinc 1% and they started going away!

I have fungal acne on my forehead, cheeks and jawline, I just ordered nizoral the anti-dandruff shampoo. I am going to start using it Monday and will take before and after pics and also comment on this comment for anyone wondering if it’s working or if I see any change! :) journey begins wish me luck!!!
I've just ordered it too! Please keep us updated on your progress :)
Hi! How’s youre progress going? I’m about to order nizoral and just wanted to hear your experience so far :
Julia hernandez I’m on day 3 now and can see a very very small difference. My fundal acne is pretty bad so I’m going to give it a week and hopefully will see more process by next week Monday. Fingers crossed!
Sadé O thank you for the reply! I’ve been using an alternative to nizoral, and have found that parts of my skin have gotten so dry, it looks like eczema 😭 other than that I’m also on day 3, and it’s gone a way slightly.... we will get through this. 😭
Julia hernandez It’s been about a week and 2 days, it seems to be clearing up a bit but slowly, I have a lot of fungal acne on my forehead so I believe after the 2nd week it will be more clearer visibly... I put it on after the shower and wear it like a face mask for about 10-15 mins, my skin is super oily so it does not dry or crack my skin at all. I will check back ina couple of days :)
ok time to share this with my friend, she suffers this type of acne but i suffer from hormonal acne, we both just suffer from acne haha
slothwoon U have to try KEFIR!!!! I have PCOS and drinking a glass of kefir before bed really helped my acne. I tried expensive skincare, korean skincare, drugstore etc... but kefir has been a miracle.
#FriendshipGoals
slothwoon But do you have acne on your forhead?
Cause I've been suffering from acne about 2 years and i have it all over my face,at first it was on my cheeks only,and then my forhead got crazy and i don't know what to do anymore i had tried everything
Just wanna share that I watched this a year a go and I have tried almost all the possible solutions/treatment given in this video.
First, for the ketaconazole, I tried putting an anti dandruff shampoo on the affected area (mostly my forehead) and it really didn't helped me much and it also caused my forehead to dry out so much.
For the honey, I'm not really able to use this since, for some reason, my face hated honey. When I use it I unusually get a pimple. So this is a no.
For the salicylic acid, i tried the TO one but it really didn't give me good results enough since the bumps were still there even with continuous use. But I did noticed that my skin was glowing so much.
I then tried the TO BHA and AHA peeling solution. This guy stings like hell and makes me just want to claw my face out. But after using this for atleast a month, all the bumps on my face suddenly disappeared and I never had a pimple again. I follow the TO peeling solution with a Snail mask and I've never been more happier with my skin as of now.
(I use the peeling solution every three days since I realized that i have such tough skin and that closer use of it will contribute to a faster improvement to my skin. But u guys should try using it for once a week first and then increase usage per week. And you should really hydrate your face after use since this can cause the face to become red and dry for some people.)
I tried Sulfate dandruff shampoo. Worked like a charm. Cleared up to normal looking in 2days and I felt human again.
Im a filipino and i have this type of acne, and i was literally shooketh when she said "Philippines"
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us out with those tips!!! I've suffering with fungal acne and it sucks. But I gotta say, what's been working for me is ketoconazole. I actually have been using it as my last step in my skincare routine. I'm thankful for your recommendations on what products are safe for this kind of skin issue. Because now I know what exactly I should spend my money on lol
From Philippines here. Its really hot and humid here. I really suffered from this fungal acne before I even learned about skincare. But my face is fine now after trying out a lot of products. I'm here because my sister, who had a clear skin before just got this fungal acne and I'm researching for a good product for her to use.
I thought it would just be on my face forever! Thank you 😭😭
This was a very useful video for me! ❤️ Thanks, Liah! Hope your skincare range will be available for international delivery soon!
WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO 10 YEARS AGO? seriously life saver!!
This video is so informative and this is what I love about Liah, because she makes truly informative videos that peope can actually benefit from. I’d like to add one more tip for fungal acne and that is to not touch or scratch them because they will spread out more and more. I know it’s hard not to do that because these acnes can get quite itchy but just imagine them being gone.
I know im one year late but i wanna say that the "some by mi 30 day miracle serum" helped me so much!! I've been using it with the mario face spray for nearly a month only and I've noticed them almost disappearing! I put it once a day (in the morning) lmao this sounds like an ad but trust me it really works.. hope this helps ♥
I trust her so much because her skin looking highkey glamour
How can I just find this video now??? This is very helpful, thank you.💕
I have acne and fungal acne on my face, chest, shoulders and back 😑
I’ve used honey, and my fungal acne has cleared up so much! But now it’s starting to flare up again sadly:( then again I haven’t really been using the honey so much which is probably why. Thank you for suggesting it!
Can I leave it overnight?
RaspberryJewel z Im pretty sure you can, just be careful since it can be messy:)
