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.

Customer Reviews
I’ve had acne on my chin for my entire adult life. I started using malezia 5 days ago and my skin is the clearest it’s been in 4 years. I had really given up on trying new products and was ready to accept that this is just how my skin is, but my friend recommended I try malezia and I am so grateful. ☺️
For years I’ve searched for products that would support with the skin conditions I’ve battled as an adult. After deep diving on the skincare subreddit I found a post linking to research that a woman had carried out due to her frustrations with the industry and experience. I was thrilled to find she had decided to create her own products in order to facilitate clean products at a reasonable price point which targeted the conditions that a lot of adult women battle. Look no further, these products have changed my life. I cannot recommend the core regimen more, an absolute game changer. Since trialling in Jan of 2025 I’ve become a loyal customer.
I've been following the blog since 2011, and for whatever reason, never took the plunge and actually tried the products that I KNEW WOULD WORK. I think I was too fixated on fancy ingredients and multi-step regimens.
Finally, after struggling with my skin since I was 13, 27 years of my life, I started the core regimen July 26, which is the collage picture with my skin from then. By August 8, you can already see the dramatic healing my skin has done, and the slow reduction of the CCs all over my cheeks. I had a little bit of flakiness from the peroxide in the first week, but I slowly worked up, and now I can do all over, every day, over lotion, and spot treat the really bad areas (under my chin/jawline) twice a day.
Three steps. Sometimes two. Maybe, sometimes four. It's so easy. It's so gentle. It's so freaking effective!
The cleanser is luxurious and foams like crazy- a little goes a long way! Your face feels so clean after using it, without feeling tight or dry. It still feels soft and moisturized.
The moisturizer is so dreamy! It seems really lightweight, and even a little watery coming out of the tube, and you're instructed to put it on a damp face. And what an experience when you do! It glides all over like silk, and sinks in beautifully. It doesn't leave any kind of greasy residue, but you can absolutely tell you've used it. The results are noticable!
The peroxide cream seems to do a great job and sinks in quickly. Beware! Make sure you wash your hands really well before you touch a towel, you will get bleach spots! Lol
Amazing products. Just do it. Buy them. Chances are, you'll love them.
So my review is gonna be a bit long because I love this product so much!!! I have PCOS and it’s been pretty bad. I always had some acne but nothing too bad. The doctor gave me contraceptive pills as standard treatment and it made everything worse( please don’t take them for pcos, read the book PCOS repair protocol). Anyway my face was covered in acne. After changing my treatment a lot of it went away but I noticed tons of the small bumps were still there. I thought it was just hormonal acne being stubborn (I also have psoriasis). So I spent so much money on skincare and tried everything western Korean and Japanese. NOTHING. If anything once I moved to a warmer climate it. Became itchy and spread. I thought to myself ok this is not hormonal it’s weird. I kept looking and found out it was fungal acne. Yes I had a bit of hormonal acne but my face was mostly covered with fungal acne MY ENTIRE LIFE. And I had no idea. And none told me. And it made senses as I grew up in a warm and humid climate. Anyway I couldn’t keep myself from itching. Until I found this brand. It saved my life. I started the treatment and after the first use my skin became red and it itched more but after a few mins it stopped and my face hasn’t itched since. The black cream can be a bit irritating at first especially so use it sparingly and take breaks if needed. Some days I only used the cleanser and moisturizer But after now 2 weeka of using it my face is slowly clearing up. It’s purging a bit but clearing up fast and I can’t wait to see the results after 8 weeks!! I have hope again to have a clear skin and I owe it to this brand 💕
I love all the Malezia products! My favorite is the basic lotion. I purchased some for my daughter in law, who has very sensitive skin. I told her she had nothing to lose by trying them. She tried the BP product the first night and called me the next day to say that her skin already looked clearer! She’s amazed. And she’s tried everything. I think now she’s a new loyal customer!
I first found Malezia while doing research trying to figure out my 11 year old daughter’s forehead break out. I came across their blog about fungal acne and read everything I could. With their tips and education alone we cleared her breakout in a few weeks. The second I saw that they had their own line I purchased. She uses it religiously and only gets the occasional blemish. I had acne prone skin as a young adult. I’m 40 now and mix in Malezia products with my anti-aging regimen. I particularly like their oil wash and the acid serum. EXTREMELY grateful for this companies research and education. Truly more research based and thoughtful than I’ve received from any dermatologist, ever. Also super thankful for all their research on the various acne safe products! Very well priced and excellent product. Will continue to use!
ive done it all... accutane, birth control, etc. this is the real deal. i actually applied it under my moisturizer for months unlike what the regimen suggests bc i can't read and i still didnt get any irritation. 10/10
I had skin issues up until 2019 and then I was fortunate enough to have 6 years of relatively trouble free skin (with help from the amazing blog posts attached to this product)
After clearing my skin I rarely used any products on my face as my experience has almost consistently been that any product I’ve used would always make things worse when I was having issues.
At the turn of this year I starting having trouble again with really visible issues on my face, particularly around my eyebrows and nose.
Some diet changes really improved my skin but I had persistent patches - I took the dive and ordered (US to UK shipping was very quick) and after following the regime for a week my skin was clear, and is definitely in better condition that it was when I was having no troubles and not using anything.
I’ve recommended this product already to others, and it’s become part of my daily staple, I wish I had started using it sooner.
Will be ordering again and please, please keep these products going!
I have struggled with persistent acne for over 10 years. This product has completely saved my skin. It’s powerful yet gentle. It has cleared up my hormonal acne!
I was skeptical about these products at first, but they really work. I love the cleanser — it’s super hydrating — and the moisturizer is great: non-sticky and nourishing. My skin looks clearer and healthier in a short amount of time. I think the benzoyl peroxide made a big difference.
