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
Just the best.
I wish I was here talking about a fellow, but close to it is this moisturizer 😭🙏🏻
First time shopper, and a few weeks in using this product daily, and I couldn’t be more thankful!
I have really sensitive skin, to the point that even being out in the sun for 5 mins can cause my skin to breakout sparingly. If I eat chips, I can possibly wake up with a breakout, or two, or three the following day 🫠.
I also don’t use anything with squalene and aloe Vera. My skin hates both. And it’s nearly impossible to find an effective moisturizer without carrying either or.
I didn’t sign up for the subscription but now I’m considering. If I don’t sign up, I’ll continue to buy it religiously !
I’m so thankful how good it feels and sets under makeup !
Amazed it has no scent 😭🤌🏻
I usually only use it at night, apply to my entire face by spreading it out then patting it in. Then, after my skin soaks that layer up, I follow up again on my t-zone, working it in that area then apply on any other area of my face I may need an extra layer of moisture.
I wake up, still moisturized, and apply my foundation and makeup for work.
Thank you for creating something for my skin type bc the only other holy grail of mine is VANICREAM. But now I’ll be using it solely for my body and using this marvelous product on my face 🥹
My skin is sensitive, acne-prone, and often inflamed with rosacea and hormonal cystic acne. This is the only moisturizer I use. It has helped my skin stay hydrated without irritation or additional break-outs, helping to calm my skin and mitigate treatment side effects. I now subscribe so I will never run out! I am an OG customer, having found fc through his blog, and am so grateful for he started Malezia. Thank you, fc!
it works like Magic
This moisturizer together with the Malezia Acne Treatment Gel is the only thing that has helped on my teenage daughter's skin. She has been using it since she was 14 and is now 17. Worth every penny to get a thriving girl.
I LOVE this moisturizer. Urea is amazing. I go through it so quickly, I need a bigger size!!
I honestly feel like this is the only moisturizer that does not break me out. It has been my tried and true since its release
I have had this infection for years (dermatitis), the cream makes the skin very supple, it is almost essential for me if I do not want to have rough skin
The malezia line is literally the only thing that works for me. I had cystic acne for years was finally able to clear that then during covid developed perioral dermatitis/fungal acne/rosacea/nobody actually knows what was going on with my skin. I have tried literally hundreds of dollars worth of products and then started using nothing which helped but I couldn’t get rid of nose and chin rashes/breakouts. The urea cream stopped it. It’s moisturizing but doesn’t flare my rashes and the combo of the benzoyl peroxide stopped my little whiteheads and redness/rashes completely. Malezia is the only thing out put on my face anymore. Trust me less is more. I am so thankful for the research put into this line and the authenticity! I am a loyal user for the long run
I started using this moisturizer and noticed my skin looking more smooth and hydrated within the week. I didn’t need more convincing honestly. The packaging is nice too, I appreciate not having to stick my fingers in it. For context I use tretonoin, and in my 30’s and have a history of eczema/sensitive skin. I actually healed my skin barrier using advice from the creator of this brand. The search is over. Also price point is about neutrogena hydro boost/Hado labo but cheaper than less effective but more expensive moisturizers out there. Don’t get me started on the other products cause the cleansing balm is also a forever fave. My nose has never looked this clear.
