This product is not fungal acne safe. In a month-long trial with it, I experienced a resurgence of breakouts in the form of both eczema and acne.
While my experience is no doubt skewed because of this reaction, this product also does not feel appropriate for dry skin. It wasn't just incapable of adequately hydrating to my skin, but it seemed to actively dry me out. I required double the typical amount, and still needed facial oil with frequent reapplication.
May be perfectly suited for those with less sensitive skin requiring a lightweight moisturizer. Others should look elsewhere.

I love this stuff.
Adorable brown bottle (if you're into brown) full of magic. Used up two bottles as a head-to-toe cleanser and it was instrumental in helping me initially clear my fungal acne. Saw vast improvements while using this gentle formula, in addition to eliminating other FA triggers from my routine. As a neat bonus, my hair loved this stuff too, and was silky and smooth after washing. I did eventually discontinue use because I'm no longer actively treating breakouts, and I'm somewhat wary of the environmental safety of the active ingredient, zinc pyrithione. I'll definitely repurchase and reassume use if my fungal acne ever flairs up in a bad way again though.
