MY SKIN TYPE ▹
My skin is dry and sensitive to malassezia - I get fungal acne on my forehead. My main skin concerns are dryness, congestion, and PIE (post inflammatory erythema). You may have a different experience with a product I mention if you have a different skin type or preference. My reviews and opinions are based on my personal experience.

[@jules3347]

if ur curious my skincare routine is vanicream cleanser, paula's choice bha once/ twice a week, and cerave baby moisturizing cream. only water and moisturizer in the morning :) I can't go overboard with products due to the many sensitivities I have (FA, dermatitis, ezcema), but this is the most constant my skin has been in about 7 years!

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@nah_.]

You should use a sunscreen

[@Lala-sy2fg]

Which Paula choice bha? The refining or exfoliant ?

[@rosar.4293]

Your fungal acne is what introduced me to your channel. I’m really liking your new fashion related videos!

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you for sticking around! ❤️ I'm glad you're enjoying the new content 😊

[@andthedragon]

Thanks so much for sharing your routine and moisturizer recommendations (I've been poring over videos looking for *the one* moisturizer). This is the first vid I've seen with the Happy Cappy shampoo, and the first one I've seen mention ketoconazole resistance - such good info.

[@leahchua5260]

thank you 😊 i ❤️ necessaire ‘s serum 150ml of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin B3,Vitamin B5,Ceramide NP on my face for 8 months it’s great value & i have no irritation no bumps now with your recommendations

[@AllisonCorinne]

Congrats on clearing up your skin!! I need to try that serum!

[@pnkbunny]

I am excited to try Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. Thanks for your recommendation Allison ♥️

[@AllisonCorinne]

It's the best! Hope you like it ❤️

[@sukanyaclarke3838]

did it work ?

[@pnkbunny]

@@sukanyaclarke3838 Yes. So far so good. It's been 1 month since I use it together with Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion as my toner/moisturizer. 😊

[@sukanyaclarke3838]

@@pnkbunny do you still use vanicream?

[@pnkbunny]

@@sukanyaclarke3838 Yes. I'm sticking to this routine. It may not totally make your bumps disappear but it will only control. It feels like I'm using a guilt free products coz it is fungal acne safe.

[@cnhand]

Hey girl! I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the Elf moisturizer you mentioned. I’m currently saving up to try the Oat So Simple moisturizer, but the Elf moisturizer is working wonderfully for the time being! A lot better on the wallet too 😂 I just started using it so fingers crossed I don’t break out or something 😬

[@AllisonCorinne]

Yay!! You're welcome! I'm still using and loving it as a daytime moisturizer ❤️definitely a lot more affordable. Good luck!

[@AllisonCorinne]

@KiMcHi FriEd SpRiTe it doesn’t have anything to treat fungal acne, just moisturizes

[@AllisonCorinne]

@KiMcHi FriEd SpRiTe No worries! I'm almost done with the moisturizer and have really liked it. I only used it in the morning though, and since I layer sunscreen on top I don't notice any sticky residue. I find that it's not moisturizing enough to use at night so I can see how some people might have issues with a sticky residue.

[@chachachanification]

You’re videos are always so researched and well done! I love it! 💗

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you!! ☺️ I really appreciate it

[@vivi12312]

Love the Humane toner 1-2 times a week. I'm alternating with Shea Terra's willow bark & azelaic acid gel. The azelaic acid really helps with redness too! Doesn't seem like there's a lot of azelaic acid products that are fungal acne safe out there so leaving this comment for anyone else looking for azelaic acid that is affordable.

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you!! Will have to try the azelaic acid

[@LeBrakhage]

new sub here ☺️ I also over exfoliated in my quest to clear my skin and ended up with more acne. not sure if it was fungal but definitely eased up after I stopped messing with acids. your skin looks amazing!

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you! Good luck to you tooo

[@cosmikdeebris]

What do you use for hair care products? Those were really contributing to my forehead bumps. Now I use fungal safe products but I’m always looking for more hair care recommendations. Great video!! Our routines are literally the same!!

[@AllisonCorinne]

I actually haven't switched my hair care products but maybe I should! I've been using Olaplex because I really like it. Let me know uf you have any recommendations!

[@cosmikdeebris]

@@AllisonCorinne Thanks for your reply! It helped me after I kept getting forehead break outs even though my whole routine was FA safe and helping everywhere else. Someone on reddit told me I should check my hair care products and sure enough I was using a bunch of fa unsafe things. I actually use wella fusion flex shampoo and conditioner now, it's completely FA safe, I used to use olaplex too! I was using hair oils and everything and it just didn't click with me until that reddit commenter opened my eyes lol. Now I run everything I want to purchase through fa checkers to double check and with all these changes my skin is 100% clear now! I highly recommend that wella set!

[@AllisonCorinne]

@@cosmikdeebris ooh thank you! I may give it a shot

[@beeweetea]

You can use Selsun Shampoo extra strength as its fungal acne safe and I tried it. I use it as a treatment for my fungal acne and it works like magic just that its very drying so do make sure you have a moisturizer and maybe a good serum

[@AllThingsToeseen]

I really love your routine and the products you use. I was recently diagnosed with seb derm and I'm trying to build a skincare routine that's SD-safe, and it's looking something like yours (except the moisturizer step- I want to try the Benton aloe propolis gel & the Isntree fresh green tea emulsion). I have dehydrated skin so I'm trying to focus heavy on hydration too. I already tried the hada labo premium lotion and I don't think my skin likes it, I feel like it triggers a flare, I just can't place my finger on what's wrong. I really wanted to love it, maybe I have a fake product. So I've decided to hold off for now till I build up my skin barrier, and try the Cosrx snail mucin essence in the meantime.

[@AllisonCorinne]

That sounds great!! I’d avoid purchasing skincare from amazon if possible. You could try less heavy hydrators first and apply multiple layers! Good luck!

[@ottaviagiano2823]

what do you use as a make-up remover? Just the cleanser?

[@beeweetea]

I did buy the eddie happy cappy but because it's super drying and I did miss out her instructions to use twice a day, it end up drying my face a lot. I recommend Selsun Blue Extra Strength shampoo. Yes it is also very drying but I found it more effective compared to Eddie's happy cappy shampoo, now I just use Eddie's for my body but it didnt get rid of the back fungal acne so idk maybe I'll try using the selsun as spot on treatment for my back

[@majdah5499]

So grateful for your video's! Keep up the good work ♥️

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you Majda! 🥰

❤️ I have a soft spot for making them

[@cafecondulce2820]

Looooove your videos!!! I want to try that oat one but ouch that $30! Have you tried the Garnier green gel moisturizer? I believe it is FA safe...thoughts?

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you! Yeah sadly it’s kinda pricey and doesn’t last for long 😭 I haven’t tried the Garnier one! Maybe I’ll take a look

[@cafecondulce2820]

@@AllisonCorinne thank you for your response! If you try it, I would love your thoughts!! The green or pink - both are FA Safe, last time I checked on Simple Science

[@JT-ly8rk]

Thank you for this! Even simpleskincare science doesn’t have the elf moisturizer listed. (The ingredients are great for $12!) I have it and the humane toner on the way. Do you double cleanse to remove sunscreen and makeup? If so, what do you use in your first step?

[@AllisonCorinne]

Thank you! I actually use micellar water as the first step which isn’t the best but works for me so far

[@JT-ly8rk]

Allison Corinne Thank you! I am considering trying a Micellar water. I’ve been loving Albolene but I think it actually may be problematic for me. I’m going to give MCT oil a shot first, but I really dislike how oil feels 😬

[@AllisonCorinne]

Yeah! Micellar water is so easy and fine if you follow up with another cleanser I think. Bioderma and the L’Oréal one are great

[@victoriaanatalie9821]

@@JT-ly8rk hello! I know this comment section was from awhile back but did you end up trying the MCT oil? if so, did you like it? I was interested in trying albolene but there were so many mixed reviews that I’d rather not risk it.

[@mediocredew]

Any suggestions for a moisturizer for comprised skin barrier? Don't really get acne anymore just a lot of redness and occasional flakes/itchiness around the cheek and eyebrows. I've tried MCT oil though it seems to make it more red. After using micellar water and using BENTON Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel it burns and eventually ends up being red so Im stumped. Thanks!

[@AllisonCorinne]

Would definitely recommend the CeraVe moisturizer!

[@mediocredew]

@@AllisonCorinne The cream or lotion?

@@mediocredew the moisturizing cream that comes in a tub! It’s what I’ve been using lately and really helps

Can i ask? Does cerave moisturizing cream safe for fungal acne? I've been check on skincarisma and its safe. But give me your advice, please

[@AllisonCorinne]

It's not 100% sure. It contains fatty alcohols which may or may not feed malassezia. Your best bet is to just try it out and see how it works on your skin :/

[@aguslarediosa]

I have been using it for a whole year and I like it a lot.

[@Pennspeaks756]

You can get the cerave baby cream..its safer for acne pore skin.the cerave tub clogs my pores with continued use so i alternate it

[@idc7297]

I’ve been using it for a year and it does not help

[@amishakaushal6020]

How do you do double cleansing

[@rashasarandah1695]

Vanicream just came out with a daily facial lotion and the ingredients look awesome. Many ceramides and anti inflammatory I ingredients. Does it look acne safe? Only thing I am nervous about is the squalane bc I don’t use it but maybe it won’t break me out.

[@AllisonCorinne]

Oooh! You got me excited. However it looks like it has two esters which feed fungal acne. Probably a great moisturizer otherwise!

[@rashasarandah1695]

Allison Corinne oh no which 2?

[@rosar.4293]

Rasha Sarandah Glyceryl Stearate and Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate

[@jasminsanchez5230]

Nice video! Would you say that the Vanicream cleanser is an okay one even for oily skin? (I also have FA)

[@AllisonCorinne]

Yes! I think vanicream is good for all good types. I wouldn’t suggest stripping your skin even if you have oily skin

[@esunadaisy1975]

I’m loving the oat so simple water cream but am finding it doesn’t leave my skin as moisturized as I would like. I might try the hada Labo serum/toner. Lately my skin has been feeling right/dry

[@AllisonCorinne]

Yes I’d def recommend layering it with a hyaluronic acid serum for more hydration!

[@TZ2nd]

Typology has an SA toner that is fa friendly

[@septbelleza1935]

I got FA in the summer, got rid of it, then I went on Doxycycline for my regular acne, now I have FA again ughh

[@AllisonCorinne]

Noooo I've heard a lot of people get FA after going on antibiotics :/ How did you get rid of it the first time around?

[@penelopebush6751]

I use happy cappy as shampoo and love it! How do you use it on your face?

[@AllisonCorinne]

Awesome! I just rub it into my skin a little and let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off

[@pnkbunny]

Can I ask which is better between Thayers Witch Hazel Toner and Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion? I have dry skin too and this toners are both recommended by simpleskincarescience.

[@AllisonCorinne]

Witch Hazel is an astringent so it can actually be drying! I would recommend the Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion which has hyaluronic acid.

[@pnkbunny]

Allison Corinne Noted. Thank you so much. 😊

[@katie-xt5sb]

why did you discontinue the soo boo ji sunscreen?

[@AllisonCorinne]

I found it a little harder to find online and just wanted to try other sunscreens. I ended up preferring the texture on the DRMTLGY one and liked that it didn't have any fragrance!

[@akchampion2153]

Is skinlex niacinimide better than the tia’m vita B3?

[@CarolXiong]

How do you get rid of fungal acne for good? Is it possible? I have been struggling with it for about 2 years as well.

[@AllisonCorinne]

No idea honestly :/ I think it just depends on your skin

[@stephaniecollins8858]

you can't get rid of it for good you just have to maintain the treatment that worked in the first place. so once you have cleared up use that routine once every week or every 2 wk

[@mariac7075]

Hi Allison! I was wondering if you could help me. I live in the UK and I really want to try the Hada Labo premium lotion but here the brand has only few products on the high street, so I have to buy it elsewhere online but I'm so confused as to the name of the product! There is a milk product that has similar packaging, and on some websites they call it Rotho Mentholatum, not sure if it's the same!

[@AllisonCorinne]

Hello! the milk product is different - the brand makes a bunch of different similar lotions. I think Rotho might be the parent brand of Hada Labo... sorry I can’t be very helpful. But if you can order through Yesstyle they definitely have it! I think the product was actually reformulated so the packaging is a little different.

I’ve had fungal acne I got rid of most of it on my forehead I have a very few little bumps but I also recently started getting pimples again what do you think about the inkey list salicylic acid cleanser? I really want to buy it bc it prevents breakouts and it’s best for oily skin and I have really oily skin

[@AllisonCorinne]

I haven’t tried any of the inkey list products but a salicylic acid cleanser sounds like it’d work great for you! Since cleaners have a short contact time they should be less likely to cause breakouts too

[@jess7872]

Allison Corinne Ohh yeah I haven’t thought about that thank you! That was so helpful ☺️

[@michellefaurillo4026]

There two contradicting opinions I've watch about using salicylic.. Dr. Dray claims that it might be too drying to the skin so a cleanser form is best while Dr. Rattan claims that the effective way of using salicylic is through a toner form..So for me, it is best to listen to the need of your skin...By the way, both of them love the Paula's Choice 2% BHA Toner...

I thought hada loba toners were not fungal acne safe

[@beeweetea]

You need to check the ingredients, a lot of people on youtube covering fungal acne claims it's safe. Avoid the hada labo lotion with milk, that's not acne safe according to skincarisma. I tried hada labo light lotion and it's like putting water on the face so it doesn't help as the treatments from shampoo are super dry. I read on Skincarisma that the old version of hada labo premium lotion is safe but I havent tried. Some claim it has urea which helps with the yeast infection

[@kirabalcos]

glycerin is also promoting the growth of fungal acne tho and it´s in almost every moisturizer :/

[@AllisonCorinne]

It doesn’t! f.c updated the glycerin section on this post simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/
