After four years, the math finally caught up with me. At $26 for a two-month supply, I started looking for alternatives — and found Bronson Liver Detox carrying nearly identical ingredients at $27 for a full year's supply. That's $129 back in your pocket annually. Bronson has been around since 1960 and holds GMP certification, so the quality holds up. I'll be reviewing the Bronson in the coming months.

Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer
Oat-based moisturizer on a gel base instead of a heavier cream — calming without the fatty acids that feed Malassezia yeast. Part of the rebuilt seborrheic dermatitis routine.
→ Read the full reviewBiossance 100% Squalane Oil
Pure squalane gives the same post-shave softening as an oil without anything for Malassezia yeast to digest. Replaced a homemade shave oil that turned out to be built from exactly the fats the yeast wants most.
→ Read the full reviewDaviky Pill Organizer (4x Daily, Weekly)
Thin weekly case with four daily slots — the at-a-glance way to confirm a dose was actually taken, not just a reminder to take it. The 4-pack makes travel easy.
→ Read the full reviewNaked Iron Bisglycinate (65mg)
Clean-label iron supplement — bisglycinate form is gentler on the gut than ferrous sulfate. Single ingredient, no fillers. Used to recover from a critically low ferritin of 6 ng/mL.
→ Read the full reviewNatureWise Liver Balance Detox Supplement
Four years in and this is still a staple. It's been a reliable part of managing fatty liver and keeping my gallbladder clear — two things that quietly make a big difference day to day. If you're dealing with either issue, or you're on diabetes or cholesterol meds and want extra support for your liver, I'd strongly recommend it. Take a few minutes to look up the individual ingredients; the research behind them is solid.
Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm
Built around piroctone olamine — a mild antifungal — so it actively works against seborrheic dermatitis instead of just avoiding oils that feed it. A genuine upgrade, not just a safe compromise.
→ Read the full reviewNizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (1% Ketoconazole)
The 1% ketoconazole Fresh Scent version — medical-grade antifungal that replaced a more expensive shampoo doing the same job. Rotated with a second antifungal to prevent adaptation.
→ Read the full reviewNoble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc Bar Soap (Emu Oil)
Zinc pyrithione does the active work on Malassezia — and because it rinses off in under a minute, the emu oil in the bar doesn't have time to feed the yeast before it's gone. Used on flare days.
→ Read the full reviewPure Therapro Rx Methylated Multivitamin
Methylated B12 and folate at doses that actually move the needle — important for anyone on Metformin, which blocks standard B12 absorption. A typical drugstore multivitamin won't cut it here.
→ Read the full reviewRoyceDerm Tea Tree Antifungal Shampoo
Botanical antifungal rotated with Nizoral to prevent the yeast from adapting to one treatment. Using the same active every day is how the yeast eventually works around it.
→ Read the full reviewShark S7001 Mop Pad Replacement Brush Heads
The scrub brush attachment for the Shark Steam & Scrub — the piece that reaches into grout lines and keeps knees off the floor. Picked up alongside the mop at the same time.
→ Read the full reviewShark Steam & Scrub with Steam Blaster Technology
Rotating scrub brushes reach grout lines a standard steam mop never could. The Steam Blaster trigger targets one dirty spot directly instead of steaming the whole floor. Replaced a Shark that lasted ten years.

→ Read the full reviewSolaray Liposomal Vitamin C
Paired with iron bisglycinate to improve absorption — liposomal form gets more into the bloodstream than standard ascorbic acid. Doctor-recommended combo for iron repletion.
→ Read the full reviewUpNourish D3 + K2
D3 and K2 together in one capsule — K2 routes the extra calcium D3 pulls in toward bones and away from soft tissue. The combination matters; plain D3 alone doesn't tell the calcium where to go.
→ Read the full reviewVanicream Free & Clear Shampoo + Conditioner Set
Fragrance-free, oil-free set for the gentler days between antifungal washes. The conditioner is safe where most conditioners — even "natural" ones — aren't for seborrheic dermatitis.
→ Read the full reviewVanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
Soap-free, oil-free, and fungal-safe — the daily face wash rebuilt around after learning that "natural" skincare oils were feeding seborrheic dermatitis. Also works as a shave base.
→ Read the full reviewVanicream Shave Cream
Fungal-safe shave cream — no oils that feed Malassezia. Thick for some razors, so the Vanicream facial cleanser works better as a shave base in practice, but this is the backup option.
