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
I've never found a moisturizer that my skin loved until malezia. I have combination skin where moisturizers are usually either too light or too heavy and make me break out. This is the perfect mix, both light and rich! My skin is the clearest its been in years. Speedy delivery, love the low waste packaging, and supporting a small business!
Had unexplainable skin issues (turned out to be fungal acne) prior to finding Malezia. Been using their product for over 8 months and it works tremendously well. I use the cleansing balm, HA Cleanser, moisturizer, BP everyday and salicylic acid 1-2x per week. I hope they come out with makeup in the future... but in the meantime, I am so happy that I found them.
I don’t usually believe in miracles — but I do now. 🙌 After 15 long years of battling relentless skin issues, I’ve finally found skincare products that actually work for my sensitive, reactive, and malassezia-prone skin. Malezia has completely changed the game for me.
This moisturiser is everything my skin has been begging for — and more. 🧴 After years of trial and error, wasted money, and constant flare-ups from “sensitive skin” products that weren’t actually sensitive-skin friendly, the this moisturiser has been godsend.
It’s lightweight but deeply hydrating, sinks in effortlessly, and leaves no greasy residue — just calm, comfortable, truly nourished skin. What blows me away most is that it manages to be so effective without any of the typical malassezia-triggering ingredients that have destroyed my skin in the past.
No stinging. No redness. No clogged pores. No waking up to a surprise breakout. Just smooth, soft, healthy skin that’s finally starting to repair after 15 years of chronic irritation and dermatitis.
I use this moisturizer morning and evening, and I mix it with a drop of The Ordinary squalane oil (fungal acne safe) ❤️ Thank you to the entire team at Malezia! Your products have truly changed my skin for the best!
I've struggled with lifelong acne all over my face, chest, and back. I learned about fungal acne through Malezia and tried the lotion with the exfoliating face wash. It cleared my skin, kept me acne -free and hydrated, and gave me some of my sanity back! Can't recommend enough
I have been enjoying this and I’m on my second bottle. I feel confident in the ingredients and like the moisture it gives my skin throughout the day.
I've been using this product and several other for over a year and it's been great. Im in my 40s and was having some skin issues and did want to go down the dermatologist route, been there before not a fan. My facialist suggested Malezia and it's been going great. I use the whole regiment and have add the new products they've come out with. I would suggest this company to anyone.
This is the BEST face moisturizer I have ever used. I'd be lying if I said that I don't have others, but this is S-Tier and my favorite. I found them on their older skincare website, and when they said they were dropping product, I couldn't wait to try it. Buy some, you won't regret it. I've been using this product for about 2 or 3 years, but even before that, their website helped me find other products to address skin issues. I had malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne), bacterial acne, and psoriasis due to gut dysbiosis, all which has been healed. Which is another reason I supported them, they were giving out free game long before they were creating their own products. My locs grew, so you can't see my forehead in the updated pic, but I had severe psoriasis around my nose, and on my cheeks that is healed (I had to change my diet too, CUT OUT THE SUGAR). Bentonite clay masks help me too.
I have been trying for nearly a decade now to help my beautiful daughter with autism to achieve clear skin. It seemed the more we tried the more her skin rebelled. Our box of tried & failed products looks on par with the developer of Malzia’s!! Dermatologist has attempted to treat her for Seb derm, Bacterial Acne, and persistent dandruff and scalp acne. Yesterday we received the HA cleanser and Urea moisturizer. (I wanted the BP treatment too but hesitated bc we live in such a hot climate it makes me worry about degradation to possible carcinogens. I do plan to order asap in the fall.) Back to subject matter, I have only washed my daughter’s face twice now and it is calm. Hydrated. Almost no redness. And it just seems relieved & happier. I also got a flashlight to examine her nose. It looks as if there is zero clogging and persistent tiny blackheads days are numbered. I am so thrilled and can’t wait to see how her skin progresses over the next few weeks.
Thank you for your tireless research & for these wonderful products fc!
Future suggestions: Offer way to cool ship BP in summer. Develop body acne products. Develop shampoo.
This has been a life saver for my fungal acne prone skin. When I use this for moisturizer with a little bit of the Ordinary Squalane, my skin feels so hydrated and I never have fungal acne breakouts! I strictly use Malezia’s products after I realized how much my skin likes them!
