Good for fungal acne but it’s pretty drying. I have dry skin so it’s not the best for me. I’ll be finishing the bottle I have then switching out for something less drying. It’s been good on my fungal acne journey, plus it’s not irritating on my sensitive skin. It’s got simple ingredients but yeah.. drying.
I bought this product thinking it was going to become a staple on my routine, it had so many good qualities, it was fungal acne safe and non comedogenic. The first time I tried it it burned my skin and eyes, but I decided to give it another try and I was really pleased as it got rid of almost most of my fungal acne HOWEVER its very drying! I think it broke my skin barrier, won't repurchase for Show more
