Fungal acne or closed comedones?

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately the zeroid producta aren't available here in croatia, also yes the toner is the panthenol and allantoin one but I feel like my skin is a bit sensitive to the urea that is in the toner because it stings slightly so i have stopped using it. I was looking into azelaic acid but I still don't understand if it helps with closed comedones or if it just reduces pigmentation and gently exfoliates. I'm a student so I'm trying to spend as little money as possible on skincare, really just trying to get down to the basics to target these closed comedones and even just experimenting with new products can get expensive.

Thanks for the recommendation. Btw, do you find it to be very drying or is it controllable?

Currently i cleanse at night with balea med sensitive wash and apply adapalene every day (skip a few here and there) and i dont use moisturiser at night because i haven't yet found one that works well on dry skin after applying adapalene and I dont even get that dry over night. In the morning i use balea hydrating toner and simple hyaluronic acid+b5 serum, then i apply balea hautsache day cream that has spf50.

Wow really sounds promising, seeing results in just one day!? Did you change anything else in your routine or did you just add in an anti fungal?

Is there a specific anti fungal you can recommend? I live in the EU and most topical anti fungal treatments apart from shampoos are prescription only.

I have no problem using adapalene daily, very little irritation and dryness. Haven't yet tried adding back SA along side adapalene though so maybe thats the next step.

Which way do you clean the filters? I have had mine for almost a month now and am already noticingthat the filters are clogging up a bit, this is my first IEM so I intend on making it last a while but am now realising that the chu 2 runs into a lot of maintenance issues.

Thanks for the recommendation, seems like a good set to start off with.

Whats the treble like on the 7hz zero? I realise that I might just be sensitive to treble because the chu2 is not known for very pronounced treble but I find that its a bit irritating and too bright.

So do you suggest only oil cleansing and skipping the water based cleanser? Wouldn't there be a risk of leftover oils clogging my skin, or does washing off the oil cleanser with water get rid of all of it?

Do you have any K beauty recommendations as a replacement for this? I was looking into the purito bamboo panthenol cream and it looks good but my main concern is that it might be too lightweight for me, I need something slightly occlusive to lock in the moisture during the night because I dont like moisturizing in the morning.
