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

Great for sensitive skin, KP, and POD

This is a great moisturizer! I experience both Keratosis Pilaris and perioral dermatitis flares. This does not irritate my POD at all, and helps a lot with calming it down! As for the keratosis, it doesn’t irritate, and definitely helps with redness. Texture is great, not greasy, and has a nice glowy finish. Only downside is the smell, but it’s nothing that would prevent me from ordering again! Will definitely be repurchasing.

The only thing that worked for me

I feel like I tried everything (like smelly sulfur shampoos) before I bit the bullet and just bought out the Malezia regimen. This moisturizer specifically does not irritate my skin, and when used alongside the recommended regimen, I saw my breakout die down before my eyes. I literally thought my skin was hopeless before I tried this brand.

Perfect moisturizer for dermatitis

I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, and most commercial moisturizers seem to make things worse with ingredients that feed the yeast. The 5% Urea Moisturizer is the only moisturizer I've tried that hydrates my skin without causing me to break out. Will definitely order again!

Finally healing!

Thank you for this healing product! I am using this along with 100% squalane to heal the fungal acne that set up camp on my face! And, it is working!! It has only been about a week and already, there is satisfying clearing.

The only skincare I trust

I have struggled with hormonal acne, perioral dermatitis, and fungal acne for forever. Malezia is the first skincare brand that feels luxurious and is truly safe for my skin. I’ve been using both the moisturizer and benzoyl peroxide daily and my skin has truly never looked better! The moisturizer feels luxurious and I look forward to using it every day. Love this brand. We must protect it and support it at all costs! Thank you Malezia!!

I love this brand so much

No this is not a paid ad. I’ve been using Malezia for about 3~ years now & truly the brand has been so good for me. I have oily, acne prone skin & the 5% urea moisturizer is sooooo hydrating without ever feeling thick (us oily, acne-prone skin folks know the hesitant feeling of a moisturizer causing breakout). I am literally on a monthly subscription with the moisturizer. I used to use the benzoyl peroxide gel as well but my aesthetician has me on another regimen based on my skins needs. I struggled with fungal acne & needed a higher dose. She is actually who recommended the Malezia moisturizer years ago & I’m still using it. I do not plan on experimenting with other moisturizers. Like they say, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Haha. I’ve also used the hyaluronic acid cleanser & it leaves my skin feeling sooooo clean. Oh & go ahead and buy the tube squeezer. I always squeeze my bottles when they start getting low.

любимый крем

I’m very happy with the Malezia 5% Urea Moisturizer. After trying many different moisturizers, I finally found one that works really well for my skin and fits my needs.

The cream is lightweight and comfortable, without feeling heavy, greasy, or overly occlusive. It provides good hydration and helps relieve dryness and tightness, especially when my skin is dry after antifungal treatment. My skin feels much more comfortable after using it, including overnight.

I also really appreciate that the formula is thoughtfully designed for Malassezia-prone skin and doesn’t contain a lot of ingredients that I personally try to avoid.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the product and will definitely consider buying it again. It’s great to finally have a moisturizer that provides good hydration while still feeling comfortable on my skin.

New favorite moisturizer

I've tried more products than I can count in my search for the simplest, most effective routine and this is by far my favorite moisturizer ever. Silky smooth, lightweight and creamy, super simple, does its job. No fragrance, no irritation, no pilling under sunscreen, no breakouts! The price point is great and I love that it comes in recyclable aluminum packaging instead of plastic. This was my first Malezia purchase but it definitely won't be my last.
