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)

Customer Reviews
So far so good I’ve noticed the changed in my skin I had really bad tiny bumps in my chin and with this moisturizer they’re completely gone so I’m loving it!!
Started out this year following some of the recommendations from f.c.’s blog and when those products ran out thought “why not go straight to the source?” And I feel more consistently happy with my skin each day than I have in four years when this whole adult acne thing began. So appreciative of both the education and also these products!! I didn’t take pics but my skin feels most of all more stable - I’m not as worried that it’ll break out all of a sudden and I don’t feel cysts lurking below the surface.
Best moisturizer in the world! Not oily, not heavy. Is so refreshing and soft to my super-sensitive skin! I love this so much.
This is my favorite moisturizer, It is the perfect consistency. A little goes a long way.
I’ve always struggled the nightmare combo of adult acne, sensitivity + dry skin. When I found fcs blog back in 2021, post-partum, I had easily the worst acne of my life.
I didn’t want to put too much faith in Malezia at first given it was US based (I’m in the UK), on the pricier side after factoring in shipping, plus I’d been burned before by other brands so many times.
But I’m so glad I did. Of course everybody’s skin is different, but if you’re on the fence I would wholeheartedly say give it a go. It’s easily the best moisturiser I’ve ever used and I’ve been a repeat buyer for the years since it launched because it just works.
Added bonus that the tubes and packaging can be so easily recycled. Last year we even kept a load, washed / flattened them out and turned them into Christmas decorations - win win!
After so many hours researching the depths of skincare reddit and spending so much money on countless moisturizers, Malezia was my final shot at a product that would smooth out my skin. Within DAYS, I saw amazing results (paired with the BP gel). Can't recommend this enough, just buy it already!
This is literally the only moisturizer that does not immediately make my seborrheic dermatitis red and stinging. I have been fighting seborrheic dermatitis for over 10 years, seen numerous dermatologists, and spent hundreds on skin care - just trying to soothe my inflammed skin. MCT oil was the first topical product that truly helped, but using it alone was not enough to moisturize my skin. Now, I mix MCT oil and this moisturizer and it soothes and moisturizes my skin and I am even able to wear makeup over it! I am so happy that I finally sound something to control this painful and embarrassing skin condition. If you have seborrheic dermatitis and feel like you have tried everything with no relief like me, try MCT oil and this moisturizer because this combo is my new holy grail!
This moisturizer is the only moisturizer that has helped to maintain my folliculitis at bay, I’ve only used it for 2 weeks so far but my skin already is soo much better! Im rarely breaking out now. And I had breakouts on my forehead, temples and both cheeks. My skin no longer feels itchy and my skin texture has improved tremendously. I’ve been dealing with folliculitis for over a year, have been on antifungals topical and oral, and I’ve tried other skin care that is fungal acne safe and nothing has done what this moisturizer has done. Im only using this and the MCT oil, which is also great, and recently ordered the benzoyl for spot treating. I have to say I had found Malezia online months ago and never ordered then, I wish I would have done it sooner! I was really expecting to be disappointed just like every other product I’ve used and I'm in disbelief on how well this has worked so quickly. Please never stop making this!
I've struggled with some form of acne or another for about..16 years (I'm 31). For the last 4 ish years it hasn't been quite so bad (stopped wearing makeup daily, started using "cleaner" products) but in the last year fungal acne reared it's ugly head. After scrubbing my skin and using head and sholders as a cleanser (yep...that's a thing) I could not work out why, and then once I read up on fungal acne I realised this must be it. I became almost fearful to go out in the sun or workout because sweating was a cause. Then after hours and hours scouring the Internet for solutions, I stumble onto malezia. I am 6weeks into using the hylauronic cleanser, urea moisturisor and benzoyl peroxide cream. IT WORKS. I swear it works, I have been really careful to follow the suggested regime and I haven't had a breakout in 6 weeks (I think I could cry). It's genuinely miraculous after the year before now. If you've been struggling with fungal acne, please try this. It might be the best thing you do!!!!! Thank you f.c. and the team, you are angels, also the FAQs and other general advice is sooo helpful and reassuring!. Note: I get through this moisturisor quite quick, so you might want to double up on this product in particular.
Love this stuff. About the only thing that doesn’t break me out and makes my skin just look better.
