No it's not the same. Fungal acne safe products are much trickier to narrow down because most oils, fatty acids and fermented extracts can trigger fungal acne.

Since fungal acne doesn't respond to typical acne treatments, don't use products meant for acne. The one exception is salicylic acid, that will help if it is stable inside a product. One option is using apple cider vinegar. It can work as a solid fungal acne treatment because of the citric acid it contains and its ability to fight bacteria and fungi. I hope that helps

I'm a big fan of the website skincarisma because it tells you if a product is most likely fungal acne safe. It also tells you a rating for ingredients that can be pore cloggers. I personally have acne prone skin and with my routine I really only use products that are fungal acne safe to cover all bases. I've developed a list consisting of a pretty good amount of fungal acne safe skincare so far but it can be pretty hard to find stuff. Especially since you have to avoid oils and such with fungal acne. As far as treating it goes avoiding those triggering ingredients and using things like hypochlorous acid since it's kills fungi and bacteria. I started using the one from e11ement which is pretty good so far.

Not really. Mostly non-comodogenic means just that but fungal acne safe means it's also non-comodogenic.
