May feed Fungal Acne
These ingredients are considered potential triggers for fungal acne, but not everyone will react to them. Because fungal acne can be tricky to identify and manage, itβs best to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Explained
Bacillus Ferment is an enzymatic exfoliant.
According to the manufacturer, Bacillus Ferment is a gentler alternative to AHAs and is active at a pH range of 5 - 8 (Our skin has a natural pH of about ~5).
It works as an exfoliant because the enzymes remove dead skin cells, acting similar to AHAs. Removing dead skin cells allows fresh skin cells to emerge. Fresh skin cells can hold more moisture.
This ingredient is considered a probiotic, meaning it can help boost our skin's natural microbiome. Having a healthy microbiome is a component to healthy skin.
Bacillus Ferment is created by fermenting bacteria with yeast.
