Questions
Short answers, no fine print.
What is fungal acne?
Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) is itchy bumps caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast in hair follicles — not by bacteria. Certain cosmetic fats can feed the yeast.
Is this medical advice?
No. Skinlazia screens ingredient lists; it does not diagnose, treat, or certify any product. When in doubt, ask a dermatologist.
How do you decide what may trigger it?
From scientific trigger classes (fatty acids, esters, polysorbates, ferments and more) written in our own words, each with strength of evidence. The same list always gives the same result.
Is my data private?
Yes. The check runs on your phone, photos never leave it, there is no account and nothing syncs. Details in the privacy policy.
Is it free?
Scanning, flagging, saved products and history are free forever. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
