Fungal Acne Skincare Routine

Finding a safe fungal acne skincare routine be a little daunting. Especially if you have to start from zero. In this post, I will list affordable natural home treatments as well as fungal acne-safe skincare products I love.

 

Must-Have Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

An Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is an essential product to keep your fungal acne at bay and treating your acne. Picking out which anti-dandruff shampoo can be hard. The type of anti-dandruff shampoo depends on what type of skin type you have. Each type of anti-dandruff shampoo has different levels of effectiveness and each with different levels of dryness.

Nizoral for Fungal Acne

Nizoral is a drying anti-dandruff shampoo. It is one of the most effective treatments for fungal acne, but it also the most drying. I would not recommend leaving this on for more than 5 minutes since it could be a little drying. I would recommend you follow up with a honey mask.

Selsun Blue for Fungal Acne

Selsun is another anti-dandruff shampoo option. It uses the ingredient Selenium sulfide to combat fungal acne. This shampoo is more gentle and less drying than the Nizoral. You can leave this shampoo on for up to 10 minutes and would be fine. I would still recommend following up with a honey mask to hydrate your skin.

Head and Shoulders Shampoo for Fungal Acne

It is one of the most affordable options to clear your fungal acne. You want to look for a Head and Shoulders Shampoo that uses Pyrithione zinc. It the most gentle of all anti-dandruff shampoo recommended. For this particular shampoo, you might have to leave it a little longer to see results. You might not have to use a honey mask, but I would still recommend it since it has anti-bacterial properties.

Home Treatment

Not sure if you have fungal acne? Or want an affordable option to try out? Here is a simple routine for fungal acne.

Home Treatment Skin Care Routine

Cleanser – Anything should be okay as long as it emulsifies well

Anti-dandruff shampoo – Using one Anti-Dandruff Shampoo of your choice. Use once in a while, maybe once every 3 days.

Hydrating Mask – DIY Honey Mask

Moisturizer – Aloe Plant or Aloe Gel

If you think the natural home treatment isn’t working, you can try out some affordable options that I love.

 

Fungal Acne Safe Products Beginner 

You don’t have to buy all the products I mentioned. These are some of my favorites. If some of the natural options are working well enough, you can replace them for what you need.

Some of My Favorites

Cleanser – Any cleanser is acceptable. It shouldn’t be too creamy or too hard to lather off. An affordable option is the Soon Jung Whipped Cleanser. A no-frill cleanser that isn’t drying.

Anti-Dandruff Shampoo – Once in a while. Once every 3 or 5 days, depending on how dry your skin is

Mask – A DIY Honey Mask – Manuka honey if you are feeling fancy.

Toner – Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner is my all-time favorite hydrating yet gentle exfoliator

Hatomugi Skin conditioner – It is a simple toner that is a great hydrating toner to layer with.

Moisturizer – It’s pretty hard to find a fungal acne-safe moisturizer. If layering toners aren’t enough for you, here are some of my current favorites.

A’pieu 2x Madecassoside Cream – A light cream and helps calm your skin. Great for people who are sensitive as well as acne-prone. You can read my full in-depth review about A’pieu Madecassoside Cream here.

Innisfree Jeju Orchid Enriched Cream – If you have drier skin, this is a moisturizer you should try out. It is one of the most moisturizing creams I found that is fungal acne safe.
