The powerhouse behind Malezia's four step regimen. Our moisturizer may hydrate the daylights out of skin, but this is what treats acne, eliminates blackheads, and refines texture! 😉
Our advanced acne treatment uses 2.5% micronized benzoyl peroxide, an FDA-approved antiseptic, to target acne with precision.
The micronization process breaks down particles to a finer size, enhancing skin tolerance and reducing irritation risk.
This method ensures effective acne management without compromising the skin's natural moisture balance. In fact, clinical studies have even shown that micronized benzoyl peroxide can increase skin moisture levels.
For reference, our benzoyl peroxide has an average particle size of 5 microns: smaller than the size of a bacteria cell.
We've also included 0.5% sodium phytate for its ability to boost skin moisture and elasticity, regulate oil production, and combat hyperpigmentation.

what on Earth can I say except that after about 3 months of using ONLY these products, my skin has radically changed for the better. My skin hasn’t been this clear or even in a decade (currently 35) I could literally BATHE in the moisturizer and not one single time has my skin been irritated or had a negative reaction to ANY of their products (I have bought, and repurchased, and used all of them) THANK YOU, Malezia, and please for the love of EVERYTHING don’t stop making these products!! 💖
(Also for reference, my fungal acne was cleared up WELL within a months time and the only breakouts I deal with now are if I have a reaction to makeup or hormonal breakouts, but even those are so minute they almost don’t even count!)
I already wrote a rave review after 4 weeks of using but I just wanted to come back and write again now that I've been using for 5 months. My skin is THRIVING. And I refuse to let ANY other products touch my face other than Malezia 🫶🏼 thank you I love you ❤️
The course bundle is the only thing that cleared my fungal acne. I went to the dermatologist and tried several products prior to ordering this. This works so much better than prescription meds for FA!
This is the most effective yet gentle benzoyl peroxide treatment I’ve found. It works quickly, doesn’t take much, and the tube lasts a long time! Also, hasn’t bleached my clothes, towels or pillowcases as long as I wait for it to dry down completely … I love it! Definitely recommend the tube key to get every last drop. Minimal ingredient is a huge plus!
I have so much to say. I've been dealing with fungal acne/pityrosporum folliculitis for almost 4 years. After all the research I've done I still don't understand how I'm dealing with an ongoing condition that I never had a problem before, but has no cure? I will not stop trying to find the root cause and fix things from the inside out, but honestly, until I can find a way to rid myself of this, Malezia has saved my sanity. I have tried ALL the things - sulfur masks, homemade boric acid spray, topical and internal probiotics (including paracasei and crispatus for skin), nizoral shampoo as a mask, wheatgrass spray, colloidal silver spray, raw honey masks, miconazole cream, etc. Nothing works as well as this. However, you need to know that I truly think you need to use this long term to see the best results. The protocol for this wants you to use only these products for 8 weeks to start out, and I do think that's an accurate time frame to clear your skin. I know that's not what anyone wants to hear, but I've even used Ciclopirox (prescription only) and it still wasn't a miracle quick solution. It seems seborrheic dermatitis/malassezia related problems take a long time to heal. So give this a fair shot. Be consistent and stay the course! My skin doesn't have any issues with these products, but if yours does I recommend healing your skin barrier as your first priority. Use what you can and try not to use any actives for awhile.
Also, if you're not doing so already, change over to fungal acne safe products. Simplify your routine. I use the Malezia core regimen every night, and in the morning I use two serums from Oliveda that are FA safe. During the day after I workout and shower I use the Urea cream mixed with two drops (start with one, work up to two) of Nutribiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract liquid. This step has been a recent addition and I swear by it as well. It has helped improve my fungal acne and prevented any bacterial acne for me. I don't get a lot of regular acne, but the grapefruit seed extract has really helped me avoid it pretty much entirely, while also helping the fungal acne. That's my whole routine. I do use the Malezia MCT oil to remove makeup if I've worn any (before doing the core regimen). But overall that's it, and the core regimen is the staple of my whole routine. That, combined with the grapefruit seed extract has been game changing for me, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who is dealing with this. I know exactly how frustrating and honestly kind of hopeless it can feel that it will ever get better. I hope that my experience helps someone else. The last recommendation I have is to use Dr. Happy Cappy shampoo, and follow up with a small amount of the MCT oil directly on your scalp with a dropper if you have any dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis on your scalp. (Don't use too much or you'll be a greaseball).
Don't expect a miracle quick cure with this, but you should see a big improvement by the 2 week mark. And it does slowly keep getting better after that as well, if you're consistent. Truly hope it works for everyone else as it did for me. Good luck!
When I first started getting FA about a year ago I initially dismissed Malezia because it was "just benzoyl peroxide" which I had tried before from other brands and found it didn't really help. I ended up spending an absurd amount of money on different products that didn't work until I circled back on Malezia this past June, totally at my wits end. After a couple days I could already tell it was working. It hasn't 100% cleared my skin yet but I'm still extremely happy! I also love how quick and simple the routine is, making it easy to stay consistent. I wish I had given Malezia a chance when I first heard about them, it would have saved me so much grief and money. Really hope this company blows up, they deserve it.
Gets rid of my acne so fast and keeps new acne away! I love that there's no side effects compared to other benzoyls ive used. This is one of my forever products
OMG the core regimen is amazing!! I struggled with fungal acne on my forehead for over a year along with small breakouts in T zone. I couldn’t find a skincare routine that ever worked. Over the past month, my face has transformed with these 3 simple products. My FA cleared in a few days and my skin is now hydrated & glowing. The face wash is liquid gold and removes sunscreen well, love the moisturizer, & BP treatment clears acne within days without drying out or irritating my sensitive skin. Added bonus is fast shipping! These are my holy grail products, and I’m a lifetime customer. Please make a sunscreen next :)
Amazing product. Super gentle on my sensitive skin. Reduced my breakouts in two days and has continued to clear my skin over the past two months. I will buy again!
Wonderful, prompt customer service for shipping to Canada.
i've been putting this over the entire area where i get hormonal acne, my chin and jawline. i've only been using it for about a month but my pre-menstrual week (which is generally when i break out with cysts there) was totally clear, so my hopes are really high. the product itself is a very lightweight white gel. it dries down quickly and doesn't pill when other moisturizers and sunscreen are layered on top of it (i use this 1x per day only in the morning so as to avoid bleaching my pillowcases). i have not had any irritation or dryness since starting this BP gel, and i'm someone who's prone to dry skin and flakiness especially around those acne areas. i will continue to repurchase as long as my face stays clear - here's hoping!!
