The workhorse behind Malezia's three step regimen. Our moisturizer may hydrate the daylights out of skin, but this is what treats acne, eliminates blackheads, and refines texture! 😉
Featuring 2.5% MICRONIZED benzoyl peroxide, which is an FDA approved topical antiseptic for the treatment of acne.
Perhaps you've tried benzoyl peroxide in the past and weren't a fan because it can be irritating and make skin drier than Satan's weenus. We get it! That's why we emphasized the micronized part.
Micronization is the process of milling down the average diameter of a solid material’s particles. This is important because homogenous dispersions of finer particles have proven to yield better results in fighting acne with less risk of irritation. In fact, one study found micronized benzoyl peroxide actually INCREASED skin moisture!
For reference, our benzoyl peroxide has an average particle size of 5 microns: smaller than the size of a bacteria cell.
But that's not all! We've also included 0.5% sodium phytate for its ability to boost skin moisture and elasticity, regulate oil production, and combat hyperpigmentation.

Customer Reviews
I didn't think it was possible to find a benzoyl peroxide based product that wouldn't dry my skin out, but this stuff proved me wrong! Incredible, the best thing I've ever used, you only need a little bit (I ordered a tube when the first launch came out in april and am just now running out) so it's very affordable. ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF, HOWEVER: the microionization that makes it so effective at penetrating you skin also makes it penetrate your pillowcases! It bleaches dark fabrics like I've never seen so just be aware of that.
I truly believe that the skincare market today is over saturated with gimmicky products featuring random trending & marketable ingredients that are more a ploy to make money than anything else. Laden with various extracts, fragrances, potential irritants, very expensive etc, it’s hard to discern what products are really going to help you and your skincare needs. My mom came across this company when I had a fungal acne reaction after finishing a round of oral antibiotics (amoxicillin), and I’m so grateful she got me these products. I never realized that how much I would benefit from products that are conscious of/made for people prone to fungal reactions. I get hormonal acne every now and then as well, but I do believe I was unknowingly & frequently dealing with fungal reactions for a while. Since using this line my skin has never looked better. I have oily skin that tends to form comedomes and small bumps that result in texture most noticeable in bad lighting. I have never in my life gone so consistently without getting clogged pores, breakouts, or texture. My face has been smooth and glowing, literally. Benzoyl peroxide is a killer ingredient for the breakout-prone. Just remember to apply on top of the urea. I use this gel about every other day, it’s gentle and effective. The urea cream is the best moisturizer I’ve ever used- it delivers true moisturization for hours on end without any issues of clogging or a greasy look. Cudos to the people behind this brand- thank you!!
Having suffered most of my life with various skin conditions and tim the gamut of treatments, I wanted to spare my children the same fate. This has help my daughter’s skin immensely- not to mention the great advice for what to avoid on the simple skincare solutions website. Don’t know how to thank you, really. Wish you every success.
I have spent thousands of dollars with Dermatologists, medicines and cosmetic products to fix my adult acne. Even changed my diet. Nothing worked. After 50 plus years of hiding on really bad days and layers of makeup on “good days”, at 70 years old your products have cured my skin and damaged self image. Thank you is not sufficient. I thank God for you and your work. You are the definition of caring and success.
Within the first night of using I noticed better skin. After 2 weeks I can see a difference. I know it’s not going to work overnight but I have been seeing a steady change and it’s not drying at all and I’m probably using more than I should. I’m so happy there is finally a product out there that I feel comfortable using and leaves my skin feeling great. I also allows makeup to go in smooth unlike a lot of other product I’ve used. Which is a huge bonus in my opinion. Thank you for making a great product!!
I ordered this 2 weeks ago and within a few days the acne on my forehead “fungal acne” disappeared. Honestly I never write reviews and I just had to because of the great products. Will definitely keep ordering this acne gel and the moisturizer.
The products are amazing. My skin has never been terrible but I have always suffered from tiny clogged pores, whiteheads, few blackheads, and overall dullness. I have tried soooooooo many products as I'm sure many of you have. The moisturizer is BOMB. My skin looks glowing, soft, hydrated. My family kept commenting on how nice my skin looks. The BP ointment is very gentle, I use it once daily at night and have had zero irritation which is unusual for my sensitive skin. I am reordering the products today! Im so happy I stumbled upon these products - just great work!!!
My skin is slowly but surely clearing up. I’ve struggled with acne for a long time, and now even my friends comment on how my forehead (which used to be covered in tiny bumps) looks like its airbrushed! Basically my forehead has NEVER been this clear. Thank you!!
Non-irritating, somehow, compared to other benzoyl peroxide products I've tried. I usually buffer my BP with moisturizer (now using the Malezia one) as well. Very effective, doesn't irritate my skin.
I love love love both the urea moisturizer and the bp gel. I've struggled with acne for over 10 years, and while I had some luck dealing with cystic breakouts, I'd never been able to deal with all of the small bumps covering most of my face. I started following a FA safe routine in late 2019, when my skin was at its absolute worst, and eventually began using Malezia shortly after it launched. While my previous routine definitely took care of the worst of it, I've found that since using Malezia I've seen the biggest improvement in the more stubborn bump areas on my face (chin, cheeks). I also feel better knowing that everything in the products is 100% FA safe, rather than settling for "most likely safe"; it takes the guesswork out of my routine. I will forever repurchase! Thank you f.c. <3
