Hi @sabrina177 ! To help that red raw skin heal, use a gentle hydrating cleanser on it. Nizoral is fantastic for yeast overgrowth, but not for a broken skin barrier. CeraVe, Vanicream, and Cetaphil make good gentle cleansers. You can probably still use Nizoral elsewhere on your face, but consider taking a break from it until your skin heals. Then, while that skin’s still damp, apply a petroleum-based balm as a moisturizer. Petroleum is the most occlusive skincare ingredient available: it seals hydration into your skin and acts as a temporary protective barrier while your skin heals underneath. Try CeraVe Healing Ointment, Aquaphor Ointment (unless you’re sensitive to lanolin, which Aquaphor contains), or plain ol’ Vaseline or other brand of petroleum jelly. You don’t have to put it on your whole face, though there’s nothing wrong with that. But do make sure it covers your raw red area. That + time and patience are all you really need. If you get any other burns on your face (or anywhere else on your body), don’t peel or exfoliate them. When in doubt, see a dermatologist or your primary care doctor. Did a doc instruct you to do 10-minute Nizoral masks twice daily? That seems excessive... last time I had yeast overgrowth on my skin, I used Nizoral every other night for a week or 2, and I let it sit on my skin for just 2-3 minutes before rinsing it off. If a doc told you to use it as frequently and let it sit as long as you have, please tell them how your skin reacted to it and ask about reducing usage. I’m sorry you’re going through this! Your skin will heal up, just be gentle and patient with it. And remember that you’re beautiful regardless of a little chem burn.

@SammyyE, I've only seen a few of Hyram's YT videos. I believe he did one comparing products from The Inkey List and The Ordinary. Both brands offer some good skincare products at affordable prices and both are available online at Sephora; a few of the brand's products are available in store. Without knowing your skin type or if there's any particular area of concern you are hoping to address, it can be difficult to recommend products. Here are few that I've enjoyed using that may be of interest to you: The Inkey List:The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm 5 oz/ 150 mL - great for a first cleanser; good for all skin types, especially including sensitive skin.The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL - contains BHA; good for acneic skinThe INKEY List Succinic Acid Acne Treatment 0.5 oz/ 15 mL - great for spot treating acneThe INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL - good for hydrating skin / helping skin retain moisture. I find this formula to be less sticky than The Ordinary version.The INKEY List Rosehip Nourishing Night Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL - good for dry or dehydrated skin The Ordinary:The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution 1 oz/ 30 mL - a strong but good exfoliating peel.The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - good for hydration; stickier in texture than The Inkey List version.The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL - good for dry or dehydrated skin; my "go to" rose hip seed oil in the fall and winter months.The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque - gentle but effective mask for acne - for larger areas as well as a spot treatmentThe Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - good for pores, oiliness, acneThe Ordinary "Buffet" - a nice all around anti-aging serum If there are specific skin concerns that you are wanting to address, let us know and we may be able to provide more recommendations, from both these lines as well as other ones that are effective and budget-friendly. 😁
