Yes, this toner is fungal acne safe. With only 3 ingredients (Centella Asiatica Extract, Butylene Glycol, and 1,2-Hexanediol), it contains no fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates, or fermented ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast and trigger fungal acne breakouts.
Yes! Centella Asiatica is a gentle, soothing ingredient that pairs well with all actives.
