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)

For more information about all things urea, please see our blog post on Simple Skincare Science.

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.
INCI: Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Urea, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Sodium Polyacrylate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trideceth-6, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Allantoin, Hyaluronic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin

Arrived damage

Product arrived damaged upon delivery.

Hello Katelyn!

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We understand how disappointing it can be to receive an item that doesn’t meet your expectations. However, it seems that the damage is limited to the product box.

We want to assure you that this outer box is designed primarily for additional protection during transit. The actual product, which is the tube containing the moisturizer, is sealed and its efficacy remains unaffected by the state of the outer packaging.

We are truly sorry for the harsh handling by the courier service. Although we strive to ensure that all orders reach our customers in perfect condition, the handling process by couriers is unfortunately out of our control.

If you believe your item is truly damaged beyond the box packaging, please don’t hesitate to contact us at care@malezia.com. We are more than willing to look into this issue further and provide you with a refund if necessary.

Great for people without fungal acne too

I don't have fungal acne, I've just found F.C.'s website really useful for understanding skincare, and thought I'd try it. I have a history of cystic acne, which actually did go away while using these products, but I can't promise that for anyone else - cystic acne has more to do with what's going on inside your body than what's going on your skin.

But what I do have is 33 year old very dry skin, and I'm going back to this moisturizer because a more expensive option from a bigger band isn't cutting it like this did. When my first tube ran out, I took a break because my sister works for a big cosmetics company and sent me moisturizer for free, but using her stuff my skin feels rough, and I don't like how it applies. I think by being so careful with ingredients, F.C. has made a great moisturizer for most people. So great I'm paying for a new tube instead of continuing to use my free replacement.

Very good

Best moisturizer I have EVER tried. Not too heavy or too light. Calms and keeps my skin at the perfect moisture level. Not greasy and not dry!

Helped my skin immensely

What can I say, I'm a guy who lacks the ambition to take care of my skin, well at least that's what I thought. Through the years I've tried many different products to help clear up my skin and never really found something that did the job. So I'd use a new product for a few weeks and after seeing no difference and many times products making my skin issues worse with even more dry patches, oily, red spots, you know your standard seborrheic dermatitis symptoms, I all but gave up looking and thought it was something I was just going to have to live with. Then one day I stumbled across the Simple Skin Care Science blog article diving deep into Malassezia and its symptoms and causes and thankfully I did because that blog article change my life. That blog article lead me to find the Malezia product lineup.

I immediately purchased the Urea moisturizer, Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser, MCT oil, and the cleansing balm. I haven't suffered from any acne for years thankfully so I skipped purchasing the Acne treatment gel. But let me tell you, within in days of using those 4 products I noticed an immediate difference in my skin. The dry spots were gone, the red blotchy spots started to fade away and well, my skin just feels normal now. I just followed the suggested treatment of swapping days between the MCT oil and cleansing balm and letting those rest on the skin for about 10 mins. Follow that up with the Hyaluronic cleanser, and then the Urea moisturizer which I also put on in the morning as well.

I'm so thankful to have found these products as I had all but given up. I work with a bunch of guys and even they commented on how good my face was looking.

Stop considering it…just do it

My only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a five gallon bucket for me to submerge my entire body in. I have never found a moisturizer that makes my skin feel truly hydrated. Currently waiting on two tubes and a key! Buy it buy it buy it.

Full review for all current products in one post! Overall great products, great company!

I have fungal acne, oily skin and sometimes dry patches due to seborrheic dermatitis (also caused by Malassezia fungus) and I LOVE these products!!! I will share my experience, tips, and caveats of different products all in this one review so it's easier for new customers to read about one person's experience all in one post.

5% Urea moisturizer: if you have fungal acne, buy this NOW! I'm obsessed, I've used it every day for 3 months! I don't see myself using any other moisturizer again!

Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser: again, buy this NOW! It gave me about 2 days of purging before nearly completely clearing my fungal acne and seborrheic dermatitis on my face! I use this cleanser and then the 5% urea moisturizer on damp skin daily and I feel so clean and hydrated!

Acne treatment gel: love this Benzoyl Peroxide treatment! I don't use it every day, but maybe 1x-2x a week and I haven't experienced any fabric bleaching! I think it's also helping to fade reddish/dark spots from my older healed acne as well!

MCT oil: this is a very thin liquid oil, it works very well for removing makeup! Definitely needs a double or even triple cleanse with the HA cleanser to remove the oil. I don't love the super oily feeling, so I only use it for a full face of makeup.

'Pilot' Cleansing balm: This is a more viscous and thick oil/gel, but also works very well for removing makeup! Again, I don't use it too often other than with a full face of makeup. I know it says it's a stand-alone product that doesn't need a double cleanse, but I personally like to double cleanse with the HA cleanser because I don't love the oily feeling. (also, as it says in the 'pilot' warning, the container did explode from a small hole at the top, but it still had quite a lot of the product left!)

As a general note, my order didn't have enough protective packaging/dunnage, so my products arrived a bit dented and the MCT oil lid came ajar in transit, so I was a bit disappointed with that, but the Malezia support team immediately took my issue very seriously! They issued a partial refund for any unexpected loss of product, they designated the damaged items as fragile, they are working with the manufacturer to ensure the containers themselves are stronger, and have assured that the warehouse will properly package the items to ensure they are properly protected. I am VERY pleased with how they handled my issue!

Overall, I'm very pleased with the products, the company, the support team and I am hopeful for new products in the future, especially a sunscreen!!

Genius

I’ve been following FC for years, and I finally got tired of using moisturizers not made for Malassezia-prone skin. I needed something hydrating, and aloe vera just doesn’t cut it. This is probably my third or fourth order, and I order 3-4 tubes simultaneously. I do love the new packaging. I'm not sure if there was a change, but I feel like this last order dispensed much easier.

I haven't experienced breakouts or any bad reaction

I would love to see a much larger size launch!

Was hopeful

I was hopeful this would help my acne but it broke me out.
Now mind you I don't have fungal acne.
I was just wanting to see if it would help
