The powerhouse behind Malezia's four step regimen. Our moisturizer may hydrate the daylights out of skin, but this is what treats acne, eliminates blackheads, and refines texture! 😉
Our advanced acne treatment uses 2.5% micronized benzoyl peroxide, an FDA-approved antiseptic, to target acne with precision.
The micronization process breaks down particles to a finer size, enhancing skin tolerance and reducing irritation risk.
This method ensures effective acne management without compromising the skin's natural moisture balance. In fact, clinical studies have even shown that micronized benzoyl peroxide can increase skin moisture levels.
For reference, our benzoyl peroxide has an average particle size of 5 microns: smaller than the size of a bacteria cell.
We've also included 0.5% sodium phytate for its ability to boost skin moisture and elasticity, regulate oil production, and combat hyperpigmentation.

Customer Reviews
I have been dealing with Seborrheic Dermatitis for years, I have tried 100's of different products. Finally my skin is clear healed and amazing
I was skeptical to give this regime a try after nearly trying to many different products over many years to combat my acne. This regime gave me a clear face in a month! I am so grateful and now I'm scared to try any other products. I love how simple the ingredients are and I use the moisturizer religiously now without any fear im clogging my pores.
I left a review previously but felt I needed to leave another one with pictures.
This is truly the only product that worked for me and I can’t tell you how it saved my sanity.
I never dealt with skin issues before and was at my wits end, I didn’t even feel like myself anymore.
The after picture is after about 4 months of use, I have zero irritation, zero itchiness, zero active breakouts. There are still some red pigmentation spots left over but those are slowly fading away.
I just can’t recommend these products enough and I pray you never change them.
After having clear skin for most of my life, I suddenly started dealing with painful cystic acne on my chin and neck right around my 40th birthday. It was shocking and incredibly discouraging. I tried everything for over a year, and nothing helped.
I finally discovered Malezia through a Reddit thread while yet again researching ways to clear my skin. I honestly didn’t expect much at that point but after about a month of consistent use, my skin is completely clear again.
When I say this brand was a lifesaver, I truly mean it. The sudden acne caused so much anxiety and even depression from constantly trying new products with no results. Malezia was the only thing that worked.
I’m a forever customer, without question. On top of amazing results, their customer service is absolutely top-notch. I can’t recommend this brand enough.
I first discovered Malezia in 2023 and have read much of the Simple Skincase Science blog. In May 2023, I made my first purchase of the Acne Treatment Gel and 5% Urea Moisturizer. I have suffered from acne mainly on my chin for most of my adult life and nothing ever seemed to work long-term (and I've tried so many different products, methods, etc.). I honestly figured I had nothing to lose at that point. I've always been sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, so I barely used it in the past. After I received my order, I followed the guide for using the Acne Treatment Gel and started with 5 minutes per day of short contact therapy. Every two weeks or so, I would increase the time I would leave on the gel (8 min, 10 min, 12 min, 15 min). After that, I began using it over the moisturizer every few nights, then gradually increased until I was also able to add it over moisturizer in the mornings too. It took 3-4 months before I was able to use the gel twice daily without irritation after cleansing and before moisturizer. I will say that I never experienced irritation with this product, but I wanted to increase my use slowly so that wouldn't happen and it worked. For skincare (except sunscreen), I make sure that none of the products I use on my chin contain ingredients that exacerbate malassezia, but I'm not as careful with makeup. Since starting these products, my skin has never been clearer and I could not be happier. I waited a long time to write this review to be sure I still feel the same way and I do, even almost 3 years later. My advice is to be patient and give these products time to work and don't use anything unsafe (see blog for reference). I recently purchased the Azelaic Acid (along with restocking the moisturizer and gel) and have started incorportating it into my routine. I can't wait to see the benefits since I know I can trust this brand.
I will also add a side benefit that I experienced since learning more about malassezia. For the past 10 years, I hae suffered from itchy, scaly patches on my scalp, mostly along the hairline. I recently made the connection that it could be malessezia related and started using only hair products that don't exacerbate it (after re-reviewing the blog section containing safe hair products). After the first wash, I was shocked. After the next few, I was convinced. I started using safe hair products in early December 2025 and my scalp irritation is basically non-existent now.
I am so happy I found the blog and this brand. Thank you to f.c. and his team for all your efforts and for giving so many of us the confidence we struggled with for years (IYKYK). I will forever be a loyal customer!
I’ve been using all three products of the core regimen for over a year now, it completely cleared my skin from fungal acne, and along with the mct oil it has repaired my skin barrier which was unexpected! It’s so good! I literally never venture out looking for other products, besides sunscreen, whereas before I used to spend soo much money on skincare trying to find the right products. Like I said I’ll never use us anything else!
These three products cleared my fungal acne. Couldn't figure out what was wrong with my skin until I came across Simple Skincare Science. Followed the trail to this brand and couldn't imagine life without these three products! So grateful to have found this skincare line.
I didn’t have terribly bad skin before, but I did have dry patches around my nose and mouth as well as redness and the occasional breakout. Switching to the core regimen has been amazing for my skin.
My skin has always been relatively clear, only breaking out around my period. But in September/October 2025, I had the worst breakout I've ever experienced. I had all these little bumps/texture and big cysts all over my cheeks/jaw. Treating it like normal acne only seemed to make it worse & more inflamed. I could not put anything on my face without it burning & stinging.
Then, I did some research, diagnosed myself with fungal acne, and found (my savior) Malezia. The day my package arrived I was so excited, after using the products ONCE, the inflammation on my face had calmed almost completely, my face didn't burn or hurt constantly throughout the day, and I strictly followed the regimen routine. I will say - I did purge a lot with the Benzoyl Peroxide, however the acne I got with the purging did not burn like it did previously. After about a month/a month and a half - the purging and acne had stopped.
Now, my acne is completely cleared, I just have tons of scarring all over my cheeks. The texture is gone, and I don't even break out around my period anymore. I cannot recommend this brand enough, it has changed my life. Thank you Malezia!! :)
Love all these products individually so very happy to have them as a bundle. I won’t use anything else on my skin now- only Malezia products can help with fungal acne and my combination skin. Very grateful to have the fungal acne on my face under control now for over 1 year!
