The famous "urea moisturizer" created by f.c. himself! This product underwent several dozen formulations before its current iteration.
Its star ingredient is urea, a molecule found in the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that plays an integral role in improving skin barrier function.
Urea is a multi-functional ingredient with the ability to hydrate and mildly exfoliate. It's so effective as a hydrator, in fact, that it outperforms vaseline in some studies. (1)

Other key features!
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: enhances skin's softness and hydration while providing a silky, non-greasy feel. Our Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is meticulously sourced and contains no trace amount of C12-24 fatty acids, enhancing its microbial potency against Malassezia, a microorganism linked to acne and "fungal acne." (2)
- Hyaluronic acid: a moisture-binding powerhouse that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, delivering unparalleled hydration. By forming a protective barrier, it maintains optimal moisture levels and supports natural wound healing. This makes it a multi-benefit ingredient that enhances skin plumpness, radiance, and overall health, and is suitable for all skin types.
- Glycerin: a natural humectant, known for its ability to attract and lock in moisture, keeping skin soft and supple. It works synergistically with urea to create a "skin-smoothing" effect and boost hydration. (3)
- Allantoin: has soothing properties, stabilizes urea, and promotes skin softness and healing. Recognized for its ability to form a protective barrier, aid in retaining moisture, and help alleviate minor irritations. Gentle and nurturing for the skin.
- Dimethicone: creates a breathable protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and enhancing moisturization without a greasy feel. Our dimethicone was carefully crafted to offer smooth texture and stability for a luxurious and comfortable experience.
Customer Reviews
This moisturizer is hands down my favorite I’ve tried. And I’ve tried many. It’s lightweight but still delivers the right amount of hydration without leaving you looking greasy. Please never discontinue.
I LOVE this moisturizer! Nothing like it!! Will repurchase permanently!!
Just ordered my second tube. First one lasted about 6 weeks. It kept my skin moisturize during treatment. I like it and will keep using it.
Only issue was the first order arrived with a small hole in the tube, I put duct tape over it but a little product did go to waste. Second tube did not have this problem. Being a new company/product, I give them a lot of grace with the packaging but not a fan of the metal tube.
I had a malessezia flare up in 2021 that I managed to get under control after finding f.c.’s blog. I never even knew fungal acne existed before then. Recently, I had another pretty bad flare up (I think it was caused taking antibiotics for a surgery). I quickly realized that this was fungal acne and went to work. Back in 2021, f.c. still haven’t created his own brand yet, but that was different this time so I thought I’d give it a try. Oh my god. I don’t know how he did it but this moisturizer feels so unique. Many fungal acne safe moisturizers are watery, matte, and not moisturizing enough. This was cushiony, light, but very moisturizing. My skin actually felt moist, not just covered in a layer of goo. My sensitive skin did not burn or have any reactions. I immediately bought another tube because I don’t think I will ever use anything else. I don’t leave reviews often but f.c. is doing god’s work and his products are genuinely so so worth it.
I used this for 4 nights in a row and got a flare of Malassezia. My routine only included the Malezia MCT cleanser, the Malezia gel cleanser, Dr. Eddie's happy Cappy Shampoo as a second cleanse, an FA safe Good Molecules Hyaluronic serum, and The Ordinary squalane. Things were going well before introducing this, but I had to stop. Maybe my skin dislikes urea? Things cleared up within a few days. It's very lightweight and seems like a nicely formulated product. I wish it had worked out. The other product mentioned above are awesome.
Excellent moizturiser
I have been using Malezia’s moisturizer for a few years now and it’s incomparable with others. This product leaves my skin moisturized but not greasy. I hope they never change their formula!
Never got to try the product. Purchased it and the product was shipped with OSM - this company is small and growing and probably uses OSM to reduce their overhead costs, but OSM is known to be super slow when it comes to shipping.

Love this it literally saved my skin
My skin is super smooth and no irritation with this moisturizer and I have super sensitive skin. A little goes a long way! They fixed the packaging so that’s a plus too! No more leakage
