I dont have fungal acne, but this stuff cleared up my hormonal acne and made my skin look bouncy and healthy. Still have residual scars but my skin is no longer oily and itchy.

bought it on sale initially and absolutely loved the glass bottle and amount you get (150ml). def helped repair my damaged skin barrier and was quite hydrating, although i did realize i had fungal acne due to my skin's reaction to the multitude of fermented ingredients.

I was pretty sceptical about this product however from the first use it has hydrated, smoothed and made my complexion gorgeous. I have dry rosacea sensitive prone skin and I use this every morning and night and it just leaves my skin glowing. I purchase this when it’s on sale as it can be pretty costly at full RRP. I prefer hydration in layers and this is perfect after a toner or on humid days I Show more

It's very surprising how well this essence did for me, it helped so much with my post acne marks and never broke me out. As for oil balancing & barrier I'm not too sure about it but my main goal is to clear my marks and it serve thag pretty well. It's very watery and potent. I have oily skin acne prone skin that lives in a very humid whether and this being able to absorb into my skin is wild
