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've been struggling with acne for a few years now - saw a derm and tried the while gamit (doxycycline, tretinoin, clindamycin, etc). While those products had improved my skin from its worst, malezia completely cleared it up. Even after seeing a dermatologist, I continued to have persistent acne on one cheek and would have a severe breakout anytime I sweat and wasn't able to wash off right away. Haven't had either issue after a few weeks of starting the regimen. Would definitely recommend, especially if you suspect fungal acne as the culprit.
I also really appreciate that the packaging is low waste with minimal plastic.
I'm a 35yo woman with moderate hormonal acne and I had been on Tretinoin, Clindamycin, and Spironolactone for over a year. It had helped a bit with overall facial texture but I still always broke out around the time of my period - lots of little pimples that are itchy, hard not to pick, and take a while to resolve. Very frustrating especially since I was about to get married and had hoped I would have my acne under control for the wedding. I asked my dermatologist if there was anything I could try to add things and she put me on a 3 month course of Doxycycline, but it still didn't help!
About 6 weeks before my wedding I was researching and learned about Malezia and fungal acne from reddit. It sounded just like my symptoms so I gave it a try, even though it was a little nervewracking to change things so close to my wedding date! I stopped the Clindamycin and Tretinoin completely and just followed the Malezia core regimen. Within 3 weeks I saw a huge improvement, even through my next period. I still get a few pimples around my cycle but much fewer than before (like, 2-3 total over a week) and they go away within 1 day! My wedding was last weekend and I am absolutely thrilled that my face looked great, no acne at all even though I am about to start my period. THANK YOU!!!
I was initially suspicious of the low amount of benzoyl peroxide in this product, but the micronized benzoyl peroxide seems to work very well.
Love this for night time! Very soft after feel
I've been struggling with my skin for the past year and a half. Nothing cleared it up like these products. Within a week of use my skin was clear. I was so hopeless and these products were my hair mary. Don't even hesitate to use these products. I hope it it helps you as much as it's helped me. I feel so much more confident in my skin again.
I was having a really hard time clearing up my skin. I tried numerous products from sulfur, ketocanozole, anti fungal cream, literally nothing was working for almost 2 years. I went to the dermatologist multiple times, only to basically be given the same thing and blamed for not using it right. I don't have a huge online presence and I rarely leave reviews unless something is really special. This product worked for me and I hope it works for you too. The science is there in the blog posts, and the ingredients are clear and few.
I’ve only been using the core regimen for a couple weeks and have already noticed a huge difference in my skin texture and breakouts! I haven’t gotten any new breakouts and my existing ones (stubborn spots that’ve lasted months) are starting to go away. I was a little apprehensive to purchase this because I wasn’t sure if it would work for discolouration on melanated skin but I’ve already noticed my discolouration and hyperpigmentation starting to even out! I still have a bit of a ways to go since adult acne has really affected my skin in the last year but thanks to this bundle, I’m starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and am slowly regaining my confidence. Can’t recommend these products enough!
I have struggled with acne since I was 13 and I am now 39. I have tried everything over the years from oral antibiotics, to harsh topicals, to the next “miracle cure.” Different things have helped somewhat over the years, but nothing ever seems to get to the root of the issue or have the long term effect I was looking for. Enter Simple Skincare Science. Which soon lead to to Malezia.
I NEVER write reviews but I have been using this skincare bundle for over 6 months now and when I say it is a game changer, I mean it! My skin has never been clearer. Aside from the occasional hormonal pimple here and there (which are so much more manageable than before) my skin has been clear and smooth for MONTHS. Consistency is key. I saw small improvements within the first couple weeks, but it was not until after a few months of getting the routine down that I fully comprehended the change these products have made for my skin. I wish I had thought to take before and after pictures, but to be honest I didn’t have much hope that I would see such major changes.
My 13 year-old son now struggles with acne, and I have put him on the regimen as well. Could not recommend this product more.
This benzoyl peroxide is fantastic! I have rosacea-acne prone skin and it’s cleared up the red bumps I get and keeps my skin clear. I’ve struggled with tolerating benzoyl peroxide (redness/burning) in the past but my skin tolerates this well. I sometimes mix in a hydrating glycerin gel and the combo is *chefs kiss*!
I had been struggling with a seborrheic dermatitis flare for over a year when I found these products. I got a prescription from a dermatologist that was working, but more and more patches kept appearing. I was playing whack-a-mole; every time I healed one painful, red, flaky spot, another one would appear somewhere else on my face. I decided I needed to do something to repair my skin barrier. Within two weeks on the core regimen (minus the acne treatment because I didn’t need it), I stopped getting new patches. The cleanser + moisturizer was even healing existing flare spots! I have been able to save my expensive prescription topical for my scalp and severe spots resistant to my overall regimen change, which is saving me money and making my face clear and comfortable for the first time in months. I had patches on my eyebrows, eyelids, nasolabial folds, earlobes, and cheeks that are all gone now with zero scarring and my skin is smooth and moisturized. I’ve been able to start using retinol serum again and I’m not longer reacting negatively to every sunscreen. I’m so grateful for these products!!!
