How we picked
We compare products only on what their ingredient lists show — we haven't tested them on skin, and no brand pays to be included. On UK and EU labels, ingredients above 1% must be listed from highest to lowest concentration, so we rank products higher when the key ingredient sits nearer the top — a useful guide, though not an exact measure of strength. Products with no fragrance listed score higher; drying alcohol near the top and essential oils score lower; and we give credit when the brand says a product is made for the skin type in question. Whether a product is available on Amazon never affects its rank.
Every product here passes our fungal acne checker, with no plant oils, fatty acids, esters, polysorbates or ferments listed. Ingredient lists that look cut short are left out, since they can't show what's missing.
