Egyptian Magic - All Purpose Face, Body, and Dry Skin Moisturizing Cream, Skin Protectant for Women & Men, 1oz Jar

I’ve loved and used this stuff for years, it really is magic and lives up to its name. I use this on its own as a moisturizer and it’s safe enough for my to dab onto my lashes and use on my eye area. I swear it helps my lashes and brows grow in a bit thicker, and I even use it on my hairline to enhance growth/strengthen baby hairs. It also evens out my complexion QUICKLY - helps reduce redness and helps neutralize discoloration somehow. I do not like being without a jar of this stuff. Also works fantastic for light burns/sensitized/sensitive/disrupted skin.

I can't be without Egyptian Magic daily and especially for travel! Here's what I use it for: smoothing hair, removing makeup (and it can remove ANY), as a base for facial massage, as a base for essential oil massage or medicine. Wonderful product. I don't leave it on my face, though. I apply and wipe it off. Its consistency is like a balm or ointment, which is why it is perfect for use with essential oils for a quick dilution. And, it has clean ingredients and nothing I'm allergic to [Olive oil, beeswax, honey, Royal Jelly, propolis (also made by bees).] It has a very light, very natural smell of oil, which has never been rancid. The best of the natural makeup removers.

Best moisturizer that’s clean, not greasy and great for my acne. Have tried a million moisturizers since a teen due to severe acne from pcos and endo.

I’ve been really enjoying this cream since day 1! It’s super moisturizing but still absorbs quickly, which I didn’t expect from a balm-like texture. Once you warm it up between your fingers, it melts into the skin and leaves it soft and comfortable without that heavy, greasy feeling. I mainly use it on dry patches, lips, cuticles, and sometimes as a light face moisturizer, and it works great every time. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts forever. Compared to Aquaphor, Egyptian Magic feels lighter and more skin-care focused. Aquaphor is thicker and more occlusive, which makes it great for very dry or cracked skin, but it can feel heavy for daily use. Egyptian Magic absorbs faster, feels more natural on the skin, and is better for everyday moisturizing, especially if you like simple, natural ingredients.

Is there a grittier texture to this than the older formula? Yes. Does it preform and feel like the same once on your skin? Yes. It is not a bad batch or counterfeit like some people might think. Clearly they have changed the way they mix/make the cream because all of the ingredients are the same. The texture does feel different to the touch, but fine and normal once on your skin. If you have used this cream before, you will definitely feel the texture difference when you touch it, but it's completely the same as the smoother feeling cream and works the same. I was weirded out when I first felt the grittiness, but I kept using it and realized it is fine and the same as before. Also, when I say “grittiness” I don’t mean there is grit in it, it just doesn’t feel as smooth as the older version. I have ordered this multiple times and this clearly is how the cream feels now and I’m fine with it. I have been using this for years and can definitely say this stuff is great, and don’t let the new texture sway you away from buying it.

This is really magic and a must buy if you have dry skin or kids. Clears up most dry skin in a matter of a couple of days. Highly recommend!

After learning this product existed, I was super stoked to use up my moisturizer at the time so I could order this stuff. The reviews looked promising, and it is comprised mostly of bee-derived ingredients and I'm a sucker for anything made with honey, propolis, and royal jelly. Alas, it was not meant to be. Let me tell you about my skin: oily, but also resilient. I use maximum strength tretinoin on my face 2-3 times a week with no issue on top of salicylic acid, maximum strength vitamin C and so, so many other things. Stuff that breaks other people out or causes rashes, my face can handle no problem. But Egyptian Magic Cream was my skin's kryptonite. It broke me out and I became the proud owner of four bouncing baby blemishes all on my chin after three days of use. I ordered some vitamin C serum that I began using at the same time, so in order to find the real culprit, I stopped the Egyptian Magic Cream for a week and my complexion went back to being clear. Started using it again and I developed two more big fat red zits that will take another week to heal. I may not be a dermatologist, but I can recognize a pattern. I have never been acne prone, not even as a teenager and have never had a product break me out. Aside from this, I also noticed my cheeks looking very reddish and ruddy after using this product, almost like I was blushing. This has never happened to me before. So many people said this was a great product for oily skin, but I found it did not absorb well at all. It just sat on my skin and never soaked in, so every time I touched my face, I'd wind up with oily fingers. People swore up and down it wasn't greasy at all, but it was (I mean, olive oil is the main ingredient). While it does make a very nice lip balm, my face did not like this stuff. I reached out to the folks on Egyptian Magic to find out if maybe something else I was using could be having an interaction or if I was somehow using it incorrectly, but never got a response. I do not agree that this product is the same as Vaseline, though. I saw that in some of the reviews. Vaseline is thick and sticky, but Egyptian Magic Cream is just oil - it's not sticky or tacky and goes on smoothly. Perhaps the folks who felt it was no better than Vaseline received a bad jar? I fully understand that I am in the minority when out of 4,400+ reviews, 70 percent of them are five stars. This stuff just did not play well with my skin, for whatever reason. Maybe it was too rich or my skin just didn't like one of the ingredients, I'll never know. I took a chance on what is obviously a great product and it just didn't work out for me. I never had any reason to believe my skin couldn't handle this stuff, but there you have it. I've seen some folks say it's possible to get a fake product and I'm pretty sure mine is legitimate. I didn't want to give one star because it's nobody's fault this stuff broke me out, and the reviews speak for themselves about how well Egyptian Magic Cream works for others. But let my experience be proof that as hardy as your skin may be, everyone's skin has that one thing they really don't like.

Don’t listen to any bad reviews on this. Don’t buy the cheap one it’s fake! I’ve purchased this a dozen times. I use it for my dogs who tend to get serious wounds galavanting out in their rabbit hunts. It is literally a miracle again and again. I use coconut oil first on them for antibacterial properties and then I use this for an amazing healing salve. A jar lasts forever but I always give them away.

Great for winter & super dry skin but not in a humid environment. Too oily & sticky.

As a first trial, I used the cream on my chapped and dry hands. Too greasy and doesn't soften the skin. I'm going back to my previous hand cream. I'm glad I bought a small jar, as, for now, I'm not a fan.

Love this cream, it’s all natural and makes your skin glow.

Worth the hype

If you know, you know! Egyptian Magic is the cure all cream. The small pot is perfect to apply to the cuticles and throw in your handbag on the run. If you have never tried this cream, you need to!! Seriously, buy it NOW!!
