Default Moisture resistant paint and staining

Hi

We have an ensuite where there is a slight build up of staining to the
ceiling above the shower - presumably due to mould growth My wife
cleans the ceiling every couple of months to wipe away this mould. I am
about to repaint the ceiling and walls here and my wife has hit upon
the idea of using Dulux realife Bathroom piant (which claims to be
moisture resistant) to prevent this staining happening again. I'm
doubtful that moisture resistant paint will prevent this staining/mould
growth from occurring again. The ensuite shower is probably used about
once a week (no, we're not unclean, we just use other facilities
elsewhere during the week), so it's not really subjected to vast
quantities of condensation.

Am I therefore correct in assuming that moisture resistant paint is not
really going to prevent the staining from occuring again?

Hopefully that's enough info to allow you kind lot to pass on some
advice. Any informative contributions gratefully received.

Mike
