Dermatidem Plus Gel - 0.67oz (20g) - Authentic - US

ATTN: anyone dealing with stubborn, itchy, acne-like bumps on the chest, back, shoulders, or hairline — this is for you.

Fungal acne, or Malassezia folliculitis, is an itchy skin rash from yeast overgrowth in hair follicles, appearing as uniform, small, red bumps or pus-filled spots, often on the chest, back, or shoulders, and is distinct from bacterial acne (acne vulgaris). It thrives in warm, humid conditions and with factors like sweating or heavy oils, but is treated with antifungal washes (like selenium sulfide, ketoconazole) and lifestyle changes, not typical acne products.

Causes & Triggers 

Yeast Overgrowth: An excess of Malassezia yeast, a natural skin resident, infecting hair follicles.
Moisture/Heat: Sweating, humid climates, or wearing tight, non-breathable clothes.
Oily Skin: Increased sebum production can feed the yeast.
Skin Damage: Shaving or irritation can allow yeast to enter follicles.
Medications/Health: Steroids, antibiotics, or conditions that weaken the immune system.

Key Differences from Regular Acne (Acne Vulgaris)

Itchiness: Fungal acne is typically very itchy; regular acne usually isn't.
Appearance: Fungal acne looks like uniform, small, red bumps in clusters (a rash); regular acne has blackheads, whiteheads, and deeper cysts.
Location: Common on chest, back, shoulders, regular acne often on face.

Many people dealing with fungal acne unknowingly make it worse by using products that are too oily, too heavy, or too harsh. The result? More itchiness, more bumps, and more frustration—especially for men who sweat often, scratch the area, and rely on whatever product is closest.

That’s why we created Dermatidem Plus Clinical Acne Gel — a lightweight, oil-free, non-occlusive gel that’s gentle for sensitive, fungal-acne–prone skin. With AHA, BHA, Zinc PCA, and a mild Retinol technology, it helps keep skin feeling clearer, cooler, and less irritated without feeding the problem.

Dermatidem Plus Gel is powered by a dermatologist-inspired formula that works on congestion, excess oil, and irritated skin without overwhelming the skin barrier.
It features AHA, a gentle surface exfoliator that removes dead skin buildup; BHA, which penetrates deeper to dissolve pore congestion; and Zinc PCA, a key mineral complex that helps regulate oil and calm discomfort in acne-prone or fungal-acne-prone skin.
To support smoother texture, the formula also includes a mild, barrier-friendly Retinol technology, designed to refine rough areas without the irritation commonly associated with traditional retinoids.

Dermatidem Plus Gel uses AHA + a gentle Retinol technology to smooth the skin’s surface, reduce rough texture after breakouts, and support a more even-looking tone. The lightweight, oil-free base keeps the skin comfortable and non-occlusive — suitable even for sensitive or fungal-acne–prone skin.

With Zinc PCA + BHA, the gel helps manage excess oil and keeps the pore surface clearer, reducing the heavy, greasy feel that often leads to repeated breakouts. This gentle-clearing system helps the skin stay more balanced and less prone to congestion.

The formula is designed to reduce redness and discomfort, helping soothe active blemishes while supporting the skin’s natural cleansing process. This makes swollen, pressure-filled bumps feel calmer and encourages a smoother recovery.

Visible Improvement in as Little as 7 Days

With consistent use, many users experience:

• Skin that feels less swollen and irritated
• Breakouts that look calmer and less inflamed
• Spots that appear to fade more quickly
• Pores that look less clogged and oily

Dermatidem Plus Gel works with the skin to support a clearer, smoother-looking complexion — especially in warm, humid environments where acne tends to worsen.

How to Use Dermatidem Plus Gel

Step 1: Cleanse your skin and pat dry.
Step 2: Apply a thin, even layer of gel directly on the affected areas.
Step 3: Allow the gel to fully absorb before applying moisturizer or sunscreen.
Step 4: Use 1–2 times daily depending on your skin’s tolerance.

Tips for Best Results:

• Start with once daily if you have sensitive skin.
• Avoid using with other strong exfoliants at the same time.
• Apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
• Use consistently for 7+ days for visible improvement.

Dealing with fungal acne? Choosing the right ingredients is everything. ✨

Not every acne product works for fungal acne — in fact, the wrong formulas (too oily, too heavy, too occlusive) can make it spread and itch even more.
That’s why ingredients like AHA, BHA, Zinc PCA, and gentle retinoid alternatives are often preferred over traditional acne actives that may worsen Malassezia overgrowth.

Understanding what your skin can and cannot tolerate is the key to calming bumps, reducing itch, and restoring balance — especially in warm, sweaty, high-friction areas.

Real Customer Review 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Emily Carson — Los Angeles, CA.

Five days in and my forehead is almost completely clear 😳. The itchiness stopped on the first days, then the texture started improving. I’ve tried so many products for fungal acne and nothing worked until this. My skin finally looks clean again 🙌.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Brianna Lopez — Miami, FL.

One week and the difference is insane 🤩. The clogged bumps disappeared fast, and my skin stayed less oily throughout the day. I actually feel confident going makeup-free now — that hasn’t happened in years 💛.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Kayla Nguyen — San Jose, CA. 

I didn’t expect results this fast 🤯. By Day 4, the redness calmed down a lot and the bumps along my cheek started flattening. My skin feels smoother and less irritated. This gel works way quicker than anything I've tried ✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Marcus Reed — Brooklyn, NY.

Around Day 10, my forehead looked totally transformed ✨. Those stubborn little bumps I thought would never go away finally flattened. My skin feels fresh and breathable again. So glad I found something that doesn’t make fungal acne worse 🙏.
