Unlock the secret to healthy, glowing skin with our Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser. Expertly formulated using microbiology principles, this cleanser hydrates while maintaining your skin's natural defenses.
Key Features:
1) It’s a Cleanser in a Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
What sets our cleanser apart is that it’s thickened entirely with hyaluronic acid. Unlike traditional cleansers that use inert gelifying agents like polymers and gums, our formula maximizes the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid.
It’s as if you’re using a hyaluronic acid serum with built-in cleansing properties.
This innovative approach not only delivers superior hydration but also enhances the gentleness of the surfactants, making the cleanser less irritating to the skin. (1, 2)
The molecular weight and structure of our hyaluronic acid were custom-engineered to achieve the ideal balance of viscosity, spreadability, and slip—without compromising function.
When applied to wet skin, it glides effortlessly, rinses clean, and leaves the skin feeling hydrated, not stripped.
This unique formulation offers a sensorial experience more akin to a treatment serum than a traditional face wash—making it suitable even for sensitive or compromised skin barriers.
2) Environmentally-friendly. 🌎🌲
Our HA Cleanser is sustainably packaged in a 100% aluminum bottle.
3) pH-Balanced Perfection with Gluconolactone.
Our cleanser is perfectly balanced to a pH level of 5.5, thanks to the inclusion of gluconolactone — a gentle Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA). This ingredient not only ensures alignment with your skin's natural pH for minimal disruption to the microbiome but also offers antioxidant protection and moisture retention.
4) Quality Ingredients.
Contains a thoughtfully-selected blend of other ingredients that hydrate, cleanse, and protect without feeding acne-causing bacteria, including:
- Decyl Glucoside: A gentle surfactant derived from renewable plant sources, such as corn and coconut. Due to its mild nature, Decyl Glucoside is often used in baby shampoos and soaps, sensitive skin formulations, and other personal care products that require a very gentle cleansing action. It has received the lowest irritation classification across many benchmark tests including Epicutaneous Patch Test, Acute Eye Irritation Assay, Soap Chamber Test, RBC, HET-CAM, Zein and more. (3)
- Panthenol: Often referred to as Provitamin B5, panthenol aids in moisture retention and has soothing properties, helping to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
- Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract: A potent antioxidant that also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Research suggests it may inhibit bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes, making it an excellent addition for combating redness and supporting your skin's natural microbiome.
- Glycerin: A natural humectant, known for its ability to attract and lock in moisture. It helps maintain skin hydration keeping it soft and supple, creating a less irritating cleansing experience.
INCI: Water, Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside, Hyaluronic acid, Panthenol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Pentylene Glycol, Gluconolactone, Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract.
Customer Reviews
My search for a malassezia-preventing AND microbiome-friendly cleanser is over! I use it as an all-around body wash with great results! As a long-time follower of your blog, I just wanna say thank you! You changed skincare for the better with your research and dedication! Wishing you more success to come!
I have used this product since June last year and can safely say it has really improved the texture and appearance of my skin.
This is my 2nd bottle. I love this so much I import it to Europe.
I love the large volume, it's long-lasting, SUPER hydrating and gentle. (I bought my first one in Dec 2024 and bought a new one in June 2025). It's family-friendly, and it's not just the format : I've been sharing with everyone from acneic teens to my parents with dry, sensitive skin.
It gives glowy skin, I can even use it as a body wash. Especially on sensitive patches of eczema or dry patches.
The best thing ever is that doesn't exacerbate any fungal issue ! Which is a godsend because usually emollient or hydrating cleansers products will. It cleanses well and removes any residue of oil cleanser without leaving anything that clogs pores. I'm prone to this, even without being acne-prone. Hence the title "simple and clean". No particular smell, the pump dispenses the perfect amount, it's not too runny, it makes a thick rich foam that rinses well and it cleans without stripping and leaves the skin hydrated, nice and supple. Good for normal routines or before going in with makeup.
I have very dry skin everywhere but a sometimes-oily nose. It works for all skin types, but it's nice that even my cleanser supports hydration, so I don't have to have a long routine where products pile up.
Also can we talk about this beautiful yet minimalistic packaging ? I love the design, the sleekness, but also the great durability and recyclability of the packaging? Malezia team, it's wonderful. Also the shipping fees and delivery delays are all very affordable. Excellent job, this is a purchase I feel good about every time.
I don’t usually believe in miracles — but I do now. 🙌 After 15 long years of battling relentless skin issues, I’ve finally found skincare products that actually work for my sensitive, reactive, and malassezia-prone skin. Malezia has completely changed the game for me.
This cleanser is a dream — it gently cleanses without leaving my skin tight, irritated, or dry, which is something I’ve struggled with using nearly every other face wash on the market. It’s soothing, simple, and effective, and for the first time in years, my skin feels calm and balanced after cleansing.
I never thought I’d be able to say this, but my skin is finally healing. I’m feeling hope again.
Thank you to the entire team at Malezia! Your products have truly changed my skin. Please keep up the awesome job you are doing! This cleanser keeps my face clean and hydrated, never dry. I use it morning and evening.
love this cleanser so much i brought the full size bottle with me thru tsa bc i was scared of moving it to a different container, tsa took it from me, and i immediately repurchased it.
Been pairing this with the urea moisturizer and my skin has been the best it's been in a while. I love how you don't need a lot of the cleanser to cover my big head, and I'm bald so I usually use it on my scalp as well. I love the clean feeling it leaves on my skin.
I will be buying this face wash, along with the urea moisturizer for a long time. Both are so simple and trustworthy! Leaves my face feeling clean but not dry. Love it!
So I started using an app to help with figuring out products that would work for my skin concerns. I have dry skin and have been looking for something that will clean well and not strip my skin. I happened across this brand and of course went to other sources to see what others have said. I saw nothing but glowing reviews so decided to give it a try. I’m only 2 weeks in but I really like the way it lathers, my skin never feels tight and dry after using and I have had no breakouts. Then I was just looking at the bottle and saw it’s made from the city I’m in and that was even cooler. Definitely will be sticking to this face wash and have been looking at the other products as well
Love this cleanser doesn’t not leave your face just a smooth after feeling
