The Fungal Acne Safe Kit
Squalane, glycerin, niacinamide — the short ingredient list that doesn't feed Malassezia yeast.
6 products · Updated April 2026
Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) looks like regular acne but gets worse on oils, esters above C11, and most fermented ingredients. The safe list is short: squalane, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, urea, zinc PCA. These picks stick to that list and actually work.
