Fungal acne moisturizer reccomendations

[Amelieeeeee]

Hello lovely people. Anyone here with diagnosed fungal acne (I know it's not the real name for it) who can recommend affordable moisturizers? I just found out mine is the opposite of oil free....  i love the Sephora brand moisturizers though. :'(

Gel moisturizers, as well as rice, are going to be your best friend.  Gel moisturizers are normally oil-free as they are meant for oilier skin types.  Rice is a great natural ingredient that has antibacterial properties.  I would incorporate the I'm from rice toner (I don't believe Sephora carries it), as a little extra help to your routine.  It is a little costly but it does wonders for your skin to not only hydrate, calm, and help fungal acne, it won't have a negative side effect with acne-fighting ingredients.  If you don't use on already I would use a Benzoyl Peroxide face wash to help with getting rid of the bacteria causing your breakouts. Panoxil is a great and cheap option that works well for all skincare types.

Now moisturizer recommendations

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer, Oil-Free Face Cream will probably be your best bet, but I will give some other recommendations for you to try if you don't like it.

Pauls choice Water-Infusing Electrolyte Moisturizer - oil-free but hydrating and plumping

Versed green tea gel moisturizer - a good effective option that won't clog pores or stress the skin.

hope this helps

Ment to say this but the toner is completely optional, and only if you were interested in a more "natural" ingredient, the cleanser should help a ton and will be just as effective.
