Fungal acne can be tricky to diagnose as it can often look and feel like typical acne.
Fungal acne (also called Malassezia folliculitis) isn’t actually “acne” at all. It’s caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin, not bacteria. Check out our helpful blog post here that may help identify if you are suffering from fungal acne.

Most skincare products ignore the root cause of common skin issues—microbial overgrowths and an imbalanced microbiome. Many formulas contain oils, fatty acids, and fermented ingredients that fuel breakouts and irritation instead of fixing the problem.

Skynbio is different. Our formulas actively restore microbiome balance, regulate oil production, and strengthen your skin barrier, delivering real, lasting results.

Fungal-safe skincare is formulated without ingredients that fuel fungal overgrowths, such as Malassezia (the yeast linked to fungal acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea versicolor). Unlike many skincare products that unknowingly contain fungal-feeding ingredients, Skynbio is designed to hydrate, repair, and protect without triggering imbalances.

Absolutely! Skynbio is designed for all skin types, especially those struggling with microbiome imbalances, sensitivity, or stubborn skin conditions like acne, eczema, perioral dermatitis, and psoriasis. Even if you don’t have fungal acne, our formulas provide lightweight hydration, skin barrier repair, and microbiome-friendly care without clogging pores or triggering irritation.

We never use ingredients that fuel fungal overgrowths, such as esters, certain oils, fatty acids, and fermented extracts. Instead, Skynbio is powered by microbiome-safe actives including ceramides, hyaluronic acid, bioactive botanicals, and natural antimicrobials to hydrate, soothe, and protect your skin.

Most fungal-safe skincare is basic. Skynbio is different. Our formulas go beyond fungal-safe, using cutting-edge actives and bioactive botanicals to rebalance, repair, and optimize your skin’s microbiome. We don’t just avoid the bad. We actively support your skin’s healing process.

Our formulas are oil-free and non-comedogenic, but they’re not the best choice for very sensitive or highly reactive skin. Because they contain humectants and actives, you may notice tingling. If your skin often stings, flushes, or is in an active flare, we recommend patch testing first.

Yes! Skynbio is gentle and barrier-supportive, so it pairs well with retinol and other actives. For best results, alternate nights at first. Our HydraShield can be used as a buffer before applying your active. Listen to your skin and scale back if you notice sensitivity.

While our products are gentle and free from harmful actives, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you’re pregnant or nursing to ensure suitability for your specific needs.

Yes! We stand behind the power and efficacy of our products. If you’re not satisfied after 60 days of consistent use, contact us. We’ll make it right. Find out more about our 60 day Better Barrier Gaurantee here.
