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
If I could give this product 10 stars I would! This has been my staple ever since they came out with this moisturizer. This has definitely helped me clear my skin & boost my confidence!! One thing I would say though is the packaging does get a little annoying but overall this is amazing stuff!
My skin really loves this moisturizer. I have normal-dry skin and have been lucky to not have many skin issues until I got long-covid last year and ended up with Seb Derm. Using the regime improved my skin's condition significantly. The bumps around my nose flatted out and the rash started to clear. I still have redness, which I'm experimenting now to see if it's from the benzoyl peroxide. The moisturizer will be a touch thin for my dry skin in winter, I think, but still it is dewy and glowing. I just ordered two more tubes. I wish it came in a bigger size as I live in Spain and the shipping (the customs really) is super pricey and I'd like to reapply. I'll leave another review after some more time. I absolutely love this company, I love F.C. You've helped me so much.Thank you for all you've done.
I believe I am struggling with fungal acne which is how I was made aware of the skincare blog of Malezia s founder. This is one of the only products that has helped me alleviate (not yet cure) my symptoms. Please keep going ☺️
Great product. Stabilized my skin microbiome after months harsh cleansers to treat fungal acne. So happy I found this company!!!! ❤️
I've been using this moisturizer religiously for a while now and I love it! I don't have to worry about it affecting my skin because Inknow it's made to help with my acne, and besides a few tiny bumps from hormonal issues here and there, I haven't had any major breakouts since using this and other Malezia products.
I'm a bit sensitive when it comes to having "stuff" on my skin and body generally. I used to hate the oily, waxy, gooey, slick feeling from every other moisturizer I've tried that would stay on my skin with uncomfortable odors. This one is awesome, though. It makes my skin feel actively better. I look forward to using it every day.
My only complaint is that it doesn't come in a bigger size!
Love it!!
Really great product. Very lightweight but also very hydrating to my very dry skin. Has not triggered any additional fungal acne. I feel very safe using this product. Never stop making it!!!
I recently discovered that my moisturizer was causing my forehead breakouts after previously thinking it was fungal acne-safe. After some frantic web searching, I found this brand and have been so happy with the results. I started off with the cleansing balm and moisturizer, then decided to also try out the acne treatment gel. My skin purged a bit with the cleansing balm, which I expected and was prepared for. The moisturizer is super hydrating and doesn't leave any sticky feeling on my face. The acne treatment gel goes on just like a moisturizer and sinks in super fast as well. I'm super happy with my results and my skin is clearer than it has been in years! I still have some scarring but my texture is all gone!
Here's my before and after just 10 Days using the urea moisturizer, hyaluronic cleanser and benzoyl peroxide ❤️❤️❤️❤️ im so inloveeee! ❤️ Dameged skin barrier, flaky and super dry skin no moooore ❤️ and as you can see, it got rid most of my acne as well. Its a best combo and i can't believe my face would be better in just 10 days. I'll continue using their product and leave another review after 1 month 🤗
