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 was struggling with small bumps around my nose and upper lip that I established were fungal and after committing to this skin care the last 9 months, I will NEVER look back. It has changed my skin for the better! I like how moisturized I feel without feeling greasy and it is amazing skin prep for makeup.
Creates a lovely smooth ‘slip’ on my face. Non greasy. Please do not change the formula! Ever.
I got to know about Malezia through a reddit post and i can say for sure that this product is god sent. I ordered face wash, benzoyl peroxide and urea cream and after struggling with acne for almost a year and spending i don't even have the count money and thinking it was hormonal when actually it was fungal. I can vouch for this product, it’s amazing. Thank you to the founder of this company. Looking forward to more innovations
My only problem with this moisturizer is that it doesn't come in a jumbo size! I'm OBSESSED with this stuff and go through it way too quickly. Pleaaaase consider a jumbo size for the mega fans!
Second time purchasing, and will purchase forever. My face absolutely loves this moisturizer, and a little really goes a long way. My only suggestion would be maybe consider changing the packaging, since it sometimes can be uncomfortable, but besides that, I adore this moisturizer!
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
