Malassezia Moisturizer, Soothe and Heal, Safe for Folliculitis and Seborrheic Dermatitis, 2oz

Anyone searching for a mild moisturizer that doesn’t upset your skin , and calms inflamed skin I think this would be a good option . I think it’s a little on the pricey side but it does have some nice ingredients like niacinamide . I think this would be great for sensitive skin, acne prone skin and obviously anyone with dermatitis . It has no scent and the texture is gel-like so it feels refreshing on the skin .

I really enjoy using the Derma Zen moisturizer. It’s good at preventing/ managing flare ups and is light weight. While I do prefer a light weight moisturizer in the summer, I usually have to layer something on top for winter. I do wish they had a thicker option. Overall, great product.

Living in a humid climate can cause reoccurring skin issues. I've been using the serum to calm the irritation and the moisturizer to help soothe. I usually use immediately after the shower (within a minute of towel drying while your skin pores are more dilated) and also before bed. The product works well.

I use this every other night for over a month now. It does seem to improve the clearness and smoothness of my skin. I am deducting a star because it is very sticky, though. It smells kind of bad, but I can tolerate that, as the smell seems to disappear once it's dry.

For years I have had skin issues on my back. I contributed it to not being able to take care of my backside. Doctors diagnosed it as tinea versicolor, fungus, psoriasis, and also dryness. I tried prescriptions, cortisone and anti-fungal creams, Aveena and calamine lotion. I thought I would give this a go. The moisturizer felt good going on (I used a back lotion applier also available on Amazon). After about a week, I noticed that my skin no longer itched or felt "crackly". I will continue using this. Finally, a solution to my itchy back. I don't know if it will work for everyone, but it is worth a try. It is a great moisturizer anyway so not a waste.

I think my hopes were too high for this product. I have paired it with a zinc bar, which is supposed to be good for SD. The feel of this moisturizer is almost like one of those thin, plastic-y masks you put on your face and peel off. For me, it seems like it takes a lot of time to dry. I also think it dries out my skin, especially around my nasal folds. I am noticing a lot of flaking there. I have been using this daily for about three weeks and I've had to start adding another moisturizer on top, about 30 minutes after I put on this one. That makes getting ready take a bit longer. It's not terrible, but it's not great.

Although this is meant as a face moisturizer, I actually bought it for my scalp where I experience the most flaking and itching. My hair is kinky/curly and extremely dense so the scalp doesn’t get to breathe well which aggravates the itchiness and flaking. Before using this product I generally would start itching by the 3rd day and would have to wash by the 5th or 6th day. For anyone with natural hair who spends hours twisting after washing having to do this twice a week is extremely time consuming. I was able to stretch my wash day to 10 days using this moisturizer. I’ve tried every oil there is and they ALWAYS cause buildup. I had no idea that the oils were potentially aggravating my dry scalp as well. I have almost no build up with dermazen and while my scalp does still get slightly itchy by day 6/7 that’s a huge improvement. Just having the option to delay my wash day by a few days is a huge time savings. Not to mention a clean happy scalp. Thanks Dermazen!

Unfortunately for me, I wasted a lot of money on a lot of products that were not Dermazen. This is one of the only products I buy repeatedly. I will say if my skin is near the beginning of a flair up this product stings/tingles a bit but it goes away quickly and I follow it up with a thick layer of a-phor ointment to help keep my skin moisturized. I have dry skin anyway, a flair up further adds to dryness and the Dermazen while super helpful is also drying on my particular skin. I use this on my face, neck, and around my ears and honestly is works like magic. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I waited due to cost and spent way more on products that gave me zero or minimal results. I now use this and the serum and couldn’t be happier with their performance.
