Are Smuuti Skin products suitable for fungal acne?Updated a month ago
What is fungal acne?
Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) is an infection of the skin caused by yeast that causes small, itchy bumps. Many people who experience it struggle to find suitable skincare products, as certain ingredients can feed the yeast and make it harder to get rid of those pesky bumps.
A common approach is to avoid specific ingredients, such as certain oils, esters, or fatty alcohols. You can check product ingredient lists from a fungal acne perspective using websites like sezia.co.
If skin problems persist, it’s always best to consult a dermatologist to get the most appropriate treatment.
Which Smuuti products are suitable for fungal acne-prone skin?
Smuuti offers several products that do not contain the most common ingredients known to trigger fungal acne / Malassezia:
Watermelon Jelly Cream (reformulated, fragrance-free version)
Please note that we cannot fully guarantee that our products will be suitable for fungal acne-prone skin, as every person’s skin and reactions are unique.
Introduce new products carefully
When trying new skincare products, we recommend testing them first on a small area, such as your wrist or behind your ear. Leave it on overnight (unless it’s a rinse-off product) and check if any reaction occurs.
We also recommend introducing only one new product at a time, so it’s easier to identify which product may have caused a reaction if one occurs.
