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)

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.

Customer Reviews
I have mild seb derm as well as perioral dermatitis that both fluctuate in severity depending on weather/stress/etc. The Urea Moisturizer has made my skin the most hydrated and least irritated that it's been since my skin issues started years ago. Other moisturizers either have oils that make my issues flare, or are not hydrating enough to do much good. My skin is softer, glossier, and I am experiencing fewer clogged pores and less redness. The benefits this has given to my skin barrier have also subtly made my pores and wrinkles less visible. Best part is that my skin FEELS a lot better, less tight and itchy. All of these changes are subtle but I feel so relieved to have found a product that works for me, I will definitely reorder and am interested in trying more products from the line as well.
I absolutely love this face moisturizer! It feels so luxurious and a little goes a long way and I feel like it is really starting to improve my skin. While I still have quite a lot left I’m going to purchase a back up and try the make up remover! Customer service is also impeccable! ❤️ this company
Great moisturizer - their products drastically improved my fungal acne in a few weeks (BPO and urea moisturizer as recommended, with vanicream face wash). I also cut out so many makeup products. My skin has not been perfect since but so so much better. The moisturizer is more oily than ceravePM but still is great. Amazing company! Just wish this moisturizer came in glass since aluminum usually has a plastic coating inside.
I work as a PA in dermatology and will be adding this brand to my recommended list of OTC products for my patients! Thank you for all the amazing research you do!
I’ve had fungal acne for about two years and was using “acne safe” products, wondering why it never completely went away. It flares in the summer and calms down in the winter, when heat and sweat aren’t constants. Most recently I had a facial with dermaplaning and had the largest, most uncomfortable flare up to date. I knew it was time for a change.
This moisturizer is everything. It’s not heavy or greasy. It doesn’t burn. It’s calming and perfect, and I will continue to purchase it till the end of time (seeing as fungal acne never fully goes away 🙁).
I’ve since ordered every product in the Malezia line and am extremely satisfied. It’s only been about 3 weeks and I am seeing very good results.
If you are looking for skincare for your fungal acne, please just order from Malezia. You won’t be sorry.
I LOVE MALEZIA! I have spent so much money and time over the years trying to figure out my skin type and different products. I am 34 years old and have fungal acne, rosacea, oily/acne prone skin that is now so so clear! I still have pimples every now and again but this skin regime has really helped my skin. I hope it never goes out of business! I have bought these products now for about a year.
Excellent product, has help my seborrhea dermatitis a lot. Less irritation and less dryness on my face 5 star . Will continue to buy, also will be trying facial wash snd facial oil
Seriously, one of the best moisturizers I've ever used. You have a repeat customer now.
Perfect
Im quite a shy person so wont add photos but i have used malezia over 5 years. I am a man in my 50s and have lived with skin imperfections. Sometimes painful since i was a teenager. Ive seen dermatologists (im talking 35 years ago) who advised using Nizoral...ketaconazole on my face and body so there was clearly some knowledge there about yeast etc. Im no expert but ive had years of constantly judging myself and thinking that i am only seen by my skin.taking deep breaths before i walk into a room so that i can rise above it as the situation makes me so anxious. Everything i see and read on your site i resonate with so i want to say thank you..you have changed my life completely.. even to the point that strangers say how amazing my skin is..and do you have botox. ABSOLUTLEY NOT!..im not an influencer or social media person and its taken me so long to put a message but after everything you have done to help people you truly deserve some credit.. thank you..please continue to grow and create more products. Maybe sunscrean?..i do also agree that as your skin improves you you need less and think less about it and grow in confidence. I truly understand and believe that you have experienced the same as all of us so thank you. X
These products simply work - awesome news for troubled skin...
